I love watching conservatives attack each other. It’s a momentary relief, before they resume their ruthless attacks on the rest of us. You know, the “enemy” Vigurerie refers to below. mjh

Richard Viguerie to the FOX News Channel: Have you joined the enemy?
Richard A. Viguerie, the author of Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and Other Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause (Bonus Books, 2006), issued the following statement in response to word that the Fox News Channel apparently plans to bar Ron Paul from its January 6 New Hampshire presidential debate:
“I am dismayed that the Fox News Channel apparently plans to bar Ron Paul from its January 6 presidential debate. I have not yet declared my support for any candidate, but I find this action inexcusable.
“Roger Ailes, the president of Fox News, is a brilliant political operative and businessman. [mjh: Ailes is a partisan skunk — thank him for all the triumphs the Republicans have had, and the ills the nation has, in turn.] In his 2003 interview with Broadcasting & Cable magazine, he said, in regard to liberal bias in the mainstream news media:
“Bias has to do with the elimination of points of view, not presenting a point of view.”
“Well said, Roger. However, that’s exactly what you are doing now. …
“While Fox has ended the Democratic monopoly in TV news, it is becoming disturbingly clear that it is perpetuating the pro-Big Government monopoly in TV news. A Republican presidential debate without Ron Paul is a ‘debate’ between Tweedledum and Tweedledee. All the other Republican candidates would continue the Big Government policies of President George W. Bush, and the differences between them are mostly minor and cosmetic.
“Fox News itself apparently wants to limit the GOP discussion to variations on a Neocon theme of perpetual war for perpetual big government.”
Why did all these conservatives vote for Duhbya in the first place? A pox on them. mjh
[post Iowa update:]
Richard Viguerie says Huckabee win is bad news for the Republican Party
“Mike Huckabee’s victory in the Iowa caucuses is bad news for the Republican Party.
“Mike Huckabee is a Christian socialist. [mjh: Wow! The worst of two worlds.] He is a good man, but with a Big Government heart. He is the most liberal of all the Republican presidential candidates on economic issues.
“Huckabee’s approach to every problem or perceived problem is to pass a law and launch another government program. If you like President George W. Bush, you’ll love Mike Huckabee.”
