More low blows...

John Schroeder has resorted to now accusing me of being on the Huckabee campaign team. But what's new - one of my good friends and colleagues labeled me untrustworthy only days ago...

For the record... I'm not bought and sold by ANY campaign. I didn't write any books for any of the candidates. I have no prayer of being anyone's Press Secretary or setting up an office in the White House. I don't attack people unjustly for having disagreements with my positions. I don't imply candidates said things they didn't say. (Full disclosure here - I did once say an actor said something he didn't say - but corrected it as soon as possible.) I'm not beholding to any single candidate... and on this blog there are numerous disclosures, dozens of times, over the last weeks and beyond that I have not yet made up my mind upon who I will cast my vote for.

My blogging philosophy is to actually let you transparently SEE what I'm thinking and how I'm wrestling with the individual strengths AND weaknesses of these men.

Previously I implied some support for Mitt, then Fred, and back to Mitt most recently... and I have the anti-Mitt hate-mail in my inbox to prove it.

I will also say candidly that the concern that the knee-jerk supporters of Romney are demonstrating, the hysteria that they are practicing, the bigotry that they are leveling against Christians - while pretending not to - SO FAR - has not sullied my opinion of Mitt nor his family. Which is a Miracle given the type of treatment these thugs are employing.

The Governor has been welcomed on my show, has received fair treatment, has performed well, and has left my listeners with a favorable impression of his policies, personality, and proposals.

But hear this scorched-earthers - you are killing the appeal of your candidate. Your crying of wolf at religious bigotry where it does not exist, your willingness to buy Drudge and go nuclear, your willingness to slander and smear is not going unnoticed.

YOU're character is detracting from the candidate you support - and doing so - in all honestly unjustly.
 
And I might add - he is the same candidate that I have been highly inclined to vote for.

Do you not see nor hear what you look and sound like?

30 days from now - Iowa will be in the rear view mirror. 120 days from now it is likely the nominee will be identified. 180 days from now we will begin preparing to defeat the Godless, liberal scum that will begin attacking without mercy.

It is my prayer - that you are able to focus as much vehemence at the real enemy as you are at those of us who simply stand for what we believe in - and will not be marginalized to the sidelines over it.
