13 The tongue baths he'll be getting from the MFM tell it all - they are praying (in their own secular way) for repoublicans to be stupid enough to nominate this idiot.  If Urkel's numbers get much worse a horrible opponent may be his only chance.

14 OMG, one of my lib/dem friends has started a discussion as to why McCain lost....they claim he lost because he was going to get us into more and more war??  I'm like wait, this was the worst month for soldier deaths ever in Afghanistan and they are talking about this?   Do they not see?

15 What do I think of Huck? FYNQ

Oh yea, let's get rid of Obama and ObamaCare and substitute that assholic program for Huckster and HucksterCare.  That's a real winner!

18 Preview would be nice. Or I could just read my post before posting! And BTW Hey Huck STFD & STFU!

19 If Huck is the GOP nominee, in '12 my first question will be, "So, just how crazy is the Libertarian candidate this year?"

20 Well they picked McCain and look how that turned out.  They have a great track record so they figure they will pick huck and have the same outcome.  It's a win/win for them when they make it easy for the GOP and select their candidate ahead of time.

21

he's being pimped by none other than superdouche Palin-basher and former McCain campaign advisor Steve Schmidt.

So much bitchiness.

22 I want someone to cut off Steve Schmidt's head and roll it down the street. Yeah, I went there. So what? He's a douchebag that needs to be removed from the face of the earth.

I'm with Palin until America dies.

23 Huck reminds me of my old boss: a fake holy roller who is a mean and judgemental sort. That's why he has to be kept from the nomination

24 O/T:  thank God Larry Kudlow has his glasses back on today.  He had not authority without them...

25 There's no one on Fox who sends me scurrying for the clicker faster than Fuckabee. He's a total fucking dick. Well they still have Jerry Rivers, so that's the other one.

26

Ugggh! Anybody, anything but the Huckster!

SoCons please don't split our vote by supporting this guy!

27

Lets see... Huck, Fiscal Moderate, Social Conservative...

Tea Partys?  Fiscal Conservative, Social Agnostic.

Blue Dog Dems? Fiscal Cons, Social Liberals.

Libertarians? Fiscal Cons, Social Libertarians (who are all over the spectrum as to how Liberal in view...)

If'n he gets the Nomination, Obama would cheer, as it would split the ONLY agenda which would really bring the electorate together... ie Fiscal Conservatism, and anger at Washington.

28 Has he ever had Palin on his show?

29

There goes the evangelical vote.

If Huckleberry isn't the candidate they'll stay home in 2012.

30 New Hampshire and Iowa (and whoever else jockeys their State to an early primary date) morons have to be the point men on this one. Drive his poll numbers down so far that even the MSM can't prop him up. Every call you get from his campaign operation or the press, just yell "Anybody but Huckabee" and hang up.

Huckabee Is a Selfish, Lying Piece of Shit

44

Somewhere along the way I read that his former Arkansas constituents said if he ran for prez they would take out a full-page ad in national newspapers listing all the wonderful things he stands for, esp. handing bennies and free schooling to illegals, because as the Huckster says, "We're all G-d's children."

As for the GOP Beltway crowd, they're increasingly secular.  That may provide the death knell for them to gong the huckster.  Also, a run would mean he'd have to give up that insipid TV show.

45 Making appearances in this article: a child, "choking with asthma" that Huck says demonstrates why government must provide healthcare.

If he's such a f-ing genius you'd think he would have heard of SCHIP.

Oh, and he thinks he can fix government schools too.  Now I really want to vote for him.

46 I am a Mitch Daniels fan. 

I doubt Huckabee makes it very far in the primaries.

But... I am voting for whoever isnt Bam Bam.

"disdain that I experienced from the élites..."

Cheer up pinata-boy, you are about to get more elite-luvin than you could ever dream of.  By October of 2012, you will be the progeny of Einstein and Mother Teresa.  You will be the annointed one of the Republican Moderates, religion nicely sanitized and isn't it cute how he plays guitar too.

Enjoy it - it ends the morning of November 7, 2012, when you wake up with  John McCain in the rehab center for washed-up media whores, and Baracky wakes up Prezdint, thanks to you.

48 "What bothered me more than anything was the disdain that I experienced from the élites: 'Oohhhh, who does Huckabee think he is, speaking about the economy,'" he said, in an accent meant to suggest aristocracy. "They treated me like a total hick," he added. "A complete, uneducated, unprepared hick."

Bullshit.  If Sarah Palin went on TV and talked about frying squirrels in a popcorn popper, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have gotten a pass from the MFM.  Motherfuckabee gets a pass because he's a big-government nanny-state-loving illegal-alien-coddling Christian socialist. 

And he is an ignorant fucking hick.  His foreign policy paper from the last primary proves he's a total fucking moron.  A typical third-grader's book report has more substance and is written better.

And by the way, Motherfucabee, how are those endorsements going?  It looks to me like Palin is kicking your ass on that count.  Fuckin' loser.

49 It wasn't the "elites" who had disdain for Huckabee, it was conservatives (and intelligent, decent people of all stripes).

Yup.  The self-declared "elites" love them some fascism. If the guy touting it is thumping an icky Bible, they'll tolerate it as a schtick to bring in the rubes and get the system going.  After all, when his term's up they can get their guys in there to axe any religious vestiges that creep in...

50

Damn Italicans.

51 Fuckabee. The huckster. Suckabee. Just getting started on the insults. Yes morons, this is the candidate the MFM wants. What better reason to smack him down like a two-bit professional wrestler?

52 Also, a run would mean he'd have to give up that insipid TV show.

A lot of folks just won't vote.  They can't hold their nose and they won't vote for the incumbent, they will stay home and I"m not just talking evangelicals I'm talking regular folks.  If they can convince regular folks that they are screwed no matter what and that the incumbent is getting his second term no matter what, no matter what they do, no matter what they say, that it is written in stone, then people will stay home, dejected and not vote for huck since they wee him as more of the same with an R next to his name and still the DC establishment.

71 Wait'll Rush gets hold of this.  It'll be subtle, but effective.

72  I'm evangelical and my vote goes to Palin, and wont sit home for any reason. I think you paint with too broad a brush. Further more, what makes you think that the pretender Huckabee is a evangelical, he would have to prove that to me. I've seen nothing from him to show me he is, nothing but words with no meaning behind them.

73

Oh, and he thinks he can fix government schools too.  Now I really want to vote for him.

The needs to be a reframing of the "sides" in our political discourse.  The old batle liens of Rep v Dems needs to go away.   Conservative v Liberal doesnt do so well either as the meanings of the descriptors have been corrupted.   Statist v Non-statists .....or Localists or Freedomists or what ever other adjective works.... is the fulcrum of the fight.

After Huckabuck's failure to get through the first round for the '12 cycle, he can return to Hope and Change, Arkansas and become the preacher for the First Christian Church of Recycled Pols.

78 Huck and Schmuck are teaming up to box out Palin in the early primaries on behalf of the Republican Establishment's squish de jour, Flip Flopney.  The meme needs to be "Palin can't attract voters beyond her marginal base" and the gambit is to peel off enough socons to tip a the early races to Flip Flopney.  It won't work - the wave of  liberatarian-conservatives, TEA partiers and post-Hillary PUMAs will overwhelm the Anybody But Palin efforts of the parasitic campaign-consultant types fresh off their successful campaign to portray Nikki Haley as a skank-raghead-skank.

79 How to get across to the stupids that the MFM lifts up the republicans that they know they can make lose in the general? And the next person who defines themselves to me as a moderate........Something that won't get me arrested, I'm going to have to figure that one out.

104 I really can't tolerate this guy.  He will be the FIRST one to hammer Palin as a quitter.  Take it to the bank.  Romney will hem and haw for 3 weeks waiting for the focus-group polling to tell him if he should beat that drum as well.  Palin will then say something to rhetorically knock their heads together.  It will be beautiful.

105 Bullshit. No one is staying home this time. They know the world has to be saved from Chocolate Jesus come hell or high water. I hope even the purists here have a clue now.

107

Huckabee, we already have a fat fuck we like, Chris Christie.

108 If the GOP picks Huckabee they deserve to lose. This will be like McCain 2.0 with all the same idiotic mistakes, just amplified this time. Some Republicans have deluded themselves into thinking he has a better chance of winning. This is false, because: (1) McCain already tried it that way and it failed, (2) Huck does not defend the two main issues the Republicans are stone cold right about which is (a) the debt/spending and (b) capitalism/jobs, (3) Huck is not a strong leader.

112 There's some weird youth cult called HOBY that Huckabee was involved in as a teen. It promotes global governance and was started by some leftist actor in the 50s. Therefore I can't help but wonder if the Huckabee is a plant.

You folks should leave Governor Huckabee alone and allow him to do his magic the same as President Obama has accomplished.

124 Reason enough for me not to support Huckabee:

I guess that's why he supports FKOTUS' food fascism programs (at one point he was demanding state-wide gov't-sponsored weight-loss programs for Arkansas...after he raised the sales tax on groceries...).

Not fast enough.  A timetable of 6 - 8  months?  That's like another century in political years. 

130 Oh, and the other thing about Medved, he's a thin skinned, bitter man.  Whenever listeners call and say something like "I heard Rush say..." or "Sean Hannity's show had so and so on", etc. he gets all snippy and says "I don't listen to other people's shows."  Whenever someone calls any of the other conservative talk radio hosts and makes a reference to another conservative talker, I have never heard them respond negatively.  7 years ago or so, Medved was booted off one of our local affiliates because they were replacing him with Sean Hannity.  He's been nasty ever since.

141 If Mitt Romney is not the nominee, he damn well better get a spot in whatever Repub. Administration gets in. He's by far the best qualified candidate to deal with an economic collapse/recovery plan. It's what he's done his whole life in the real world. Also, as my Governor he was absolutely nothing like the parody of him that the MSM pushes. He might "look like a Ken doll", but he has more brains than Obama and Huckabee combined.

142 Endless loop of the idiotic clemencies this douchenozzle signed and guvnah.

Huckabee's reaction to the TEA party was telling and funny:  This was a while back.  Of course, the TEA party people were ignoring him.  He started talking about how he didn't approve of them.

160 Rush babe- Being a Minister in no way makes a true believer. Barry Lynn says he's a minister also, but he doesn't believe the gospels at all. The collar doesn't make a believer and Huckabee can claim anything he wants, but he hasn't proved anything to most evangelicals.

161 Any candidate who actually likes the USA will be better than Odumbass.  You think people were tired of Bush?  Just think of the opinion of our current America-hating prez in another 2.5 years.

OK, as much as the Huckster may make us cringe, please stop the Third Party Delusion. It's worse than the Hispandering Delusion, if that's possible.

And could somebody fix the italics?

176 I run a mean campaign.  Just you wait and see.  I won't be reinged in by that fuckface Steve Schmidt this time, you betcha.

177 Chile beats Switzerland 1-0 I like Chili. Where was the cookoff held? Did the Swiss bring some brats or what?

178 that sounds more like a job for Mobama, as she combs the earth for fat filled, sugar laden, high salt sins against humanity.

They're in cahoots.

179 BY DESIGN. hence the MFMs love for the huck

Oh yeah.  It was an unholy pact.  Fuckers.

180 "Frankly, Huckabee is the Left's caricature of the Religious Right." Exactly. which should make you wonder if the left doesn't have something to do with his being on the scene.

181 Sarah Palin, who said she could see Russia from her house.

I would laugh out loud, but that might be punching down.

182 "Except for the whole socialist medicine thing" When the Legislature overruled his vetoes, what do you think he should've done? Maybe executed them all and replaced them with conservatives? All his Constitutional options had been exhausted.

183 Plus I am sick of hearing certain republican big wigs say "well it is their turn", or some such nonsense in relation to Huck, Romney, etc, etc. You don't choose anyone because "it is their turn", you pick the person who best represents the ideals the party stands for, who best understands the major issues we have today, but most of all, the best leader who will the job done as president. Do that and victory will follow. I don't care how much experience or how many failed runs the person has.

184 Somebody needs to start an anti-huck PAC that we can money bomb.

I despise that man.

185 I wonder how much the ol' huckster weighs these days.

He used to brag about how much he lost, but as soon as he got his Fox News gig, the pounds just kept creeping up on the fake man of the cloth.

How's his son doing, you know the one that tortured and killed a stray dog at BSA Camp Pioneer and somehow managed to still achieve the rank of Eagle Scout?

I think Huck's dirty.......real dirty......Jim & Tammy Fay Baker dirty.

186

Who are the idiots on the right who take this asshole seriously??

 

The ones that fall for the cocktail party, MFM crap thinking that is who would do best. They are lulled by the left into this sense that certain republicans, picked by the left for their weaknesses, are the best candidates. The left has completely fooled them into thinking that normal americans constitute the "ultra right wing" and that a "moderate" (blech) could win because they wouldn't "scare" the independents. We know that moderates can't win, only people with principles and conservative credentials. If they fall for it again after the McCain debacle then they are truely idiots or just tools of the marxists.

187

Mike Huckabee:  The Poison Pill Conservative

The mfm is going to love on him.

188 Bullshit. No one is staying home this time.

Run Huck or Romney (or anyone else from the "whiter Obama" stable) and see what happens. If there's no third-party candidate to get the ~30% FUCK Y'ALL vote, there'll be a nationwide down-ballot Dem sweep you won't believe.

And that's what the pros behind Huck and Romney want.

We lean to right here get used to it.

Huckabee's bass guitar 2012

 

191 107 Reason enough for me not to support Huckabee: 


http://bit.ly/tiT2   It looks like one of them infamous Arkansan inbred chaingangs.

192 I don't trust him I think maybe cause he ruined MA with that health care thing.

Actually, Deval ruined it with that health care thing.  Not saying I liked the original plan, but it has been destroyed by Deval and the the dems on Beacon Hill.

193

175 Chile beats Switzerland

I dunno...it's a toss up..Chile has some nice beaches..but skiing is better in Switzerland

194 Sorry, Huckabee, we already have Chris Christie.  No room for any more fat fucks.   

195 153 Huckabee = Christian socialist.

Beat me to the "Christian socialist" comment.  "Christian" socialism is still socialism.  And after Maurice Clemmons, a man who Fuckabee pardoned despite all the warnings not too, killed those 4 police officers, Huckabb shouldn't be anywhere near the Republican nomination.  Since it's the New Yorker's elevating dear Huck in this puff-piece, their chaotic intentions are clear.

/Watercow, thanks for the epic Sarah Palin snark fail.

196 We all saw what Huck Magic did for Andre Bauer's SC gubernatorial campaign.

Not much.

197 He's by far the best qualified candidate to deal with an economic collapse/recovery plan. It's what he's done his whole life in the real world. Also, as my Governor he was absolutely nothing like the parody of him that the MSM pushes. He might "look like a Ken doll", but he has more brains than Obama and Huckabee combined.

One word:  RomneyCare.

Rush babe- Being a Minister in no way makes a true believer. Barry Lynn says he's a minister also, but he doesn't believe the gospels at all. The collar doesn't make a believer and Huckabee can claim anything he wants, but he hasn't proved anything to most evangelicals.

You're preachin' to the choir.  I was only reporting the facts.

198 Monty or another cob logger, could you delete post number 12?

199 Huckabee: McCain II

200 Posted by: loppyd at June 21, 2010 Not to mention that MA had been headed that way for decades before Washington/Romney even thought about it. As you know, the Leg. is 75-85% Democrat (not an exaggeration) in any given session. It's a myth that the health care bill in MA is "Romneycare", but it's a persistent myth.

201 [Interviewer]: Monty, is it true that you're running for President of the United States in 2012? [Monty]: Me? Hell no! But my ass is. You can ask him all about it. [Interviewer]: Your ass? [Monty]: Yep. He's been wanting to run for public office for a long while now, and feels that given the current crop of candidates, that he's got a fair shot at it. Do you want to chat with him? (Monty begins to unzip his pants.) [Interviewer]: NO! I mean...it's not necessary, really. This is just a, a, a background interview. [Monty]: Your editors will probably want a picture, though, right? [Interviewer]: NO! Er, not at this early stage. Hey, listen, I've got enough for an introductory article here.... I'll just let myself out. [Monty]: Vote for Monty's ass in 2012! It's better than the alternative!

202 "I think Huck's dirty.......real dirty......Jim & Tammy Fay Baker dirty." More like Rahm Emmanuel dirty

203 Can we has teh FRED publicly kick his f'ng ass? Just walk thru the two faced MFM....say nothing....and just punch this carney assed prick, right in the face. Then just turn around, straighten his tie. and say "That there, just needed doin' "!

204

Playboy magazine interviewed Huckabee, to hit the stands next month.

Huckabee reveals he lusts in his heart for Nikki Haley. (Dot notwithstanding.)

205 Posted by: oblig. at June 21, 2010 11:55 AM (x7Ao

yep

206

STOP STOP STOP

STOP saying there are any republicans you won't vote for. If you mean in the primary, fine. If you mean in the general, STOP! We cannot afford another 4 years of Obama. I can't afford the guns, generator, water purifier, gold, food packs, medicine, and fencing I would need if that nasty marxist stays in power for another term.

207 Damn my lack of tag-closure! Busted tags - the silent killer. (Pixy, why can't we have a preview-before-post feature on the comments?)

208 I don't know which is worse, Huck or Meg Whitman.

209 He doesn't have a prayer.

210 He used to brag about how much he lost, but as soon as he got his Fox News gig, the pounds just kept creeping up on the fake man of the cloth.

He lost the weight on a rigorous (taxpayer funded) program by the U of Arkansas, who told his staff what to feed him and when.  As soon as he lost the staff, moved away, and started eating like a real person, voila. 

I won't criticize his size, just his desire to put everyone on a government-administered diet.

211

 "They treated me like a total hick," [Huckabee] added. "A complete, uneducated, unprepared hick."

That's because you are a complete, uneducated, unprepared hick.

212

Italics fiX0red!  Yaaayyyy!

Huckabee running!  Booooo! 

213

But all this despair about Huckster reveals what the GOP needs to do: change it's primary process. No more front loaded primaries, we must gradually unfold. No more winner take all primaries, where McLame ekes out the slimmest of pluralities in Florida and other states and takes all the delegates. No more "open" primaries, where non Republicans get to go urinate in the GOP voting pool.

 

214 The only reason he got any votes at all is the idiots who think religious = conservative.

He is a lying corn-pone populous liberal.

215  Evangelicals are not the problem, the problem is Obama and his whole devil cult. Evangelicals just want the same thing as everybody, peace and the right to bring up their children as G-D fearing AMERICANS with respect for our laws and constitution. If by chance that Huckabee is nominated we have no other choice but to come out and vote for him, but believe me he is far from first choice.

216

Huckabee is a tempremental little bitch.  He goes ghetto whenever he's insulted. 

We've had enough boys with ego problems in the White House.

217 Even though the current bozo is making Bush look really good in retrospect, I think there is real disdain for the compassionate conservative (ie, christian socialism light) that He and Huck represent.

My first question is, if these assholes want to Tithe, I am all for it. Cut all government redistribution programs down to 10% GDP and I will not complain. Until then, STFU about helath care and open borders and social justice. (and asking for money on Sunday while preaching for higher taxes.) You already got 3x10% and that is too much,

This is why the TEA Party has to stay focused on core issues and not get too distracted by social-con BS.

218

It makes me think the GOP really doesn't want a win.

 I wonder why.

219

Ebony and Ivory,

Side by side as they play food nazi!

220

Can we has teh FRED publicly kick his f'ng ass?

Can Teh Ferd *get off his ass* and actually run?

221 Monty, where does your ass stand on the toilet paper crisis? Two-ply or one?

222

jonicelli.

choose 1 ply, use twice as much.... win -win.

223 Huckster was never an optino for me, but I made a commitment to myself after 2008 to never support a candidate pimped by none other than superdouche Palin-basher and former McCain campaign advisor Steve Schmidt .  Even Dale Paterson, should he hire that human dildo Schmidt.

224 See, the system worked.

225 "If Mike Huckabee were to sit down at this table and play me in a game of "who can eat the most", he would beat my brains out. HeÂ’s really, really, really competitive, to the point of competing against his staff, competing against his wife."

Fixed it.

226

There is a reason they call the GOP the Stupid Party. 

 

227

Need I remind everyone that Fuckabee was the subject of glowing admiration from... Michael Medved?

Michael Medved is unlistenable.  Besides his smug, ghey voice, he also was gaga over McCain (still is, in fact).  I cannot stand him! 

Posted by: runningrn at June 21, 2010 11:42 AM (CfmlF)

Charlie Crist was also the subject of glowing admiration from Medved.  I no longer take him seriously.

228 225 The only reason he got any votes at all is the idiots who think religious = conservative.

Alas, that applies to a good percentage of my few IRL friends.

229
Who can beat Obama? 

the media will fall in love with him again in time for the election. 

230

Sure, yeah... lets put up a stupid evangelical that will serve as the MFM and DNC pinata.

Again GTFO

Posted by: MelodicMetal

 

This presumes that the MFM might love ( at best) or demonstrate (at worst) some semblance of professionalism toward any Republican candidate, particularly after the nomination process is complete. That presumption is absurd. No matter who is nominated, they will be villified. Media shills who literally take talking points from the WH during interviews!?! That is no different thatn CNN taking copy straight from Baghdad Bob and reciting it on-air.

231 "I think Huck's dirty.......real dirty......Jim & Tammy Fay Baker dirty." ...and no one has more experience in detecting that kind of dirt than "fundamentalists." Really, the idea that Huck would sweep "fundamentalist" voters is pretty ignorant.

232 The fucking dems are voting in the republican primaries. Gotta fix it. Closed primaries.

233

He goes ghetto whenever he's insulted. 

The Hucklefuck goes ghetto??

..I gots ta see that

234 I think I am going with the Napolitano/Stossel ticket.

235

224

+10000000000

236

I would much prefer someone else, however, I would vote for the moth circling my back porch light against Obama.

Yeh, but the moth isn't responsible for quite as many deaths as Huckabee.

237

[Monty]: Vote for Monty's ass in 2012! It's better than the alternative!

 

BUNK11!!11!!11!!11

238 Kiss It!

239 the fake man of the cloth

I usually refer to those types as 'a Man of the Polyester.'

240 Maybe the next GOP presidential candidate should cut them off at the legs.  Hire a couple of lobbyists and PR firms and legal teams and figure out anything anything the MSM can run with and then stand up and debunk them one by one.   That should keep them busy for a couple of weeks trying to re tool the game.

241 Yes.... my plan is working... ve haf control of ze intertubes...

242

OK, as much as the Huckster may make us cringe, please stop the Third Party Delusion. It's worse than the Hispandering Delusion, if that's possible.

If you don't think Palin's competitive enough to let the MFM foist the white Obama on us by not running Libertarian -- which is a party gaining ground daily thanks to the gutless GOP -- you're the one who's delusional.  A vote for Huckster or a vote for Obama would be the same thing -- abject ruin for the US.  If the GOP remains its pansy-ass self, Libertarians are going to easily overtake it in the next two years.

243 [Monty]: Vote for Monty's ass in 2012! It's better than the alternative!

Hmmm...

Disadvantage: having to look at pictures of Monty's ass at every government office in the country.

Advantage: Funniest State of the Union EVER.

Disadvantage: Instead of rhetorical shit coming from our President, we'd have actual shit.

Advantage: The world would quickly get in line behind the US. Why? Because we'd have a literal asshole in the White House!

244 Any Hucklefuck supporter is a Person of Stupid

245 Huckabee can run all he wants -- he's not getting anywhere.  He's a man whose time has long since come and gone.

By the way, put it in the books: Charlie Crist is going to be the next Senator from Florida.  It's going to be the biggest ball-kicking irony of Election Night...we'll probably win California but lose Florida.  Urgh.

246

Yeh, but the moth isn't responsible for quite as many deaths as Huckabee.

 

Fine, the giant killer man-eating moth circling my back porch light--as long as it's not Obama. At least it's an american.

250 Huckabee isn't a candidate whom I would support. But I don't understand why you dislike him so much, Gabe. From what little of him that I have seen, I got the impression that he is a decent, fair, kindly and very nice man. I'm curious. Did you dislike Jerry Falwell, too, and if so, was it for the same reasons? (Reasons which say more about you than they say about Huckabee.)

251 Hey you all, it's so obvious who the best Republican candidate is. It's ....a...now ya know it's...OK I'll have to get back to ya on that one????

Not only that, but Fat Motherfuckabee used his influence as governor to kill an investigation of the dog-killing incident.

254 The only reason he got any votes at all is the idiots who think religious = conservative.

There's the challenge.  Jesus wasn't a fascist.  I don't claim to read His mind, but I'm pretty sure voting for a totalitarian like Huckabee rejects the gift of free will.

255 NOOOOO!!! My evil plan haz been foiled...


WOVERINE!!!!!!!!

256 hahahha Rush agrees with me about Barton.....listen...

257

From what little of him that I have seen, I got the impression that he is a decent, fair, kindly and very nice man.

He's not.  Review the commutation process that got that killer on the loose.  Pay attention to how he treated prosecutors and anyone else who disagreed with him.  The key is, pay attention.  Sentiment like yours is going to get us fucked over in '12.

258 Oh, and by the way, for everyone who's still butthurt about how Obama's beating up on poor little BP...just remember, if/when Crist wins, you'll have them to thank for it.  In a world without the Deepwater Horizon spill to demagogue (look at Rubio out there, sinking as he has to defend offshore drilling in a state notorious jumpy about it), Charlie Crist is toast.  Now, he's going to fucking be Senator.  GOD.

259 This is awesome.  All the douchebags are gathering in one place.  Their massacre will be delicious.

260

Advantage: The world would quickly get in line behind the US. Why? Because we'd have a literal asshole in the White House!

Plus, funny pictures with the King of Saud and Nancy Pelosi

261 OT :  Don't watch soccer, but I would guess there will soon be some dead N. Korean soccer players as soon as they touch down in Pyongyang.

262 Disadvantage: Instead of rhetorical shit coming from our President, we'd have actual shit.

Could be an advantage; you can't grow mushrooms in a pile of rhetorical shit.

263

This was the reason I always thought he stayed in the primaries so long.  He knew it was over and smarter to just drop out.  But he stopped playing for 2008.  He figured he had the McCain strategy of 2000.  He became the runner-up.  So at the next opportunity it would be "His turn."  Staying in the primary longer allows to him evaluate his support in each state, further review the people on the staff.  Knowing who to let go and who to bring back.

This bullshit of "Its my turn next" does not help us. 

And just to hear a million cries of NOOOOOO, anyone thinking that McCain will actually believe he should try and run for pres again?

264 The repubs canNOT let the MFM pick their candidate for them again.  Prescription for disaster and certain doom.

265 That's because you are a complete, uneducated, unprepared hick.

See, that just isn't true. He got as far as did last time cause he able to put on the charm when he wants and he did far better then anyone else in the debates. I wouldn't vote for him because he governed like shit and his views on the role of government but don't underestimate his ability to campaign.

Posted by: lowandslow at June 21, 2010 12:05 PM (GZitp)

266 I been had. 

267

Can Teh Ferd *get off his ass* and actually run?..

I don't want to see teh Fred run. I just want Huckster taken down by an "Elder" (?) of the party. Before Huck thinks "Golly, they really do like me this time!".

I know...eating their own..yada yada..

268 @263 Read the fucking thread.  It's ALL here.

<walks away, shaking his head>

269

Advantage: Funniest State of the Union EVER.

Disadvantage: Instead of rhetorical shit coming from our President, we'd have actual shit.

 

The cool thing:  Monty's ass won't need a prompter to give a SOTU address.  Anything that emits from it won't stink half as bad as Obama.  Plus rumour has it that Monty's ass is honest. 

270

I know Virginia's primaries are open because of state law.

Time to write Cuchinelli a letter. Right now we have the legislature, the governor and the attorney general. No time like the present.

271 Oh, and to those evangelicals who say they'll stay home if this fat-ass moron isn't the nominee:  I'll stay home if he is.  The last thing we need is a Republican ushering in more socialism.  I'd rather have Obama do it.  If Huckabee gets elected it will be the end of the Republican party.  But he won't get elected, because the MFM will prop him up until he gets the nomination, and then they'll destroy him in a matter of minutes.  This guy has more fucking baggage than LaGuardia International.

272 Ah, so he's like Obama, only a better "white" version.

Posted by: The Other Trav at June 21, 2010 11:19 AM (00/a9)

Huckabee is the other white meat... PORK. And he has a lazy eye and worse five o'clock shadow than Nixon. He's the greasiest candidate I've ever seen.

273 Don't watch soccer, but I would guess there will soon be some dead N. Korean soccer players as soon as they touch down in Pyongyang. Posted by: Guy Fawkes at June 21, 2010 12:09 PM (T0bhq) By the time they touch down in Pyongyang, they will have won the world cup. Didn't you get the memo?

274 Chuckleberry moved to Florida for a good, sound reason. He's making some serious coin now, and Florida has no state income tax. Arkansas does (have a state income tax). Don't over-think it, boys and girls. The simple solution is usually the correct solution.

275 You can be a good campaigner and still be a complete, uneducated, unprepared hick.

I, uh, object to the word "hick."  I'm, uh, a citizen of, um, the world.

276 Oh, and by the way, for everyone who's still butthurt about how Obama's beating up on poor little BP...just remember, if/when Crist wins, you'll have them to thank for it.  In a world without the Deepwater Horizon spill to demagogue (look at Rubio out there, sinking as he has to defend offshore drilling in a state notorious jumpy about it), Charlie Crist is toast.  Now, he's going to fucking be Senator.  GOD.

Oh please.  If the reasons Gabe dislikes Huckabee says more about him than it does about Huckabee then its doing that for everyone here.  We've spent the better part of a week here arguing with eachother about things, but apparently almost everyone here can agree with the idea that governor that released crimnals from prison and was a slimeball in the last primaries is a worthless candidate that we don't want.

279

And just to hear a million cries of NOOOOOO, anyone thinking that McCain will actually believe he should try and run for pres again?

 

I don't think he will.  First of all, if he loses his Senatorial election, he is done.  Unlike the Democrat party, Republicans do not reward failure with party accolades of gravitas and promotion within the party.  Secondly, if he wins his Senate election, it will probably be close.  He will be just grateful to have accomplished that.  I think he's done with presidential aspirations.  Plus he'd be like an 100 years old.  Of course, at that point senility and delusions of grandeur could kick in which might prompt him to run, but I doubt it.

280

You just know Palin scares the shit out of them (both left and right).

 

281 The trouble is, there is enough people blinded his doe-eyed act as a nice Baptist minister that they ignore the fact he's a total tool.  I for one will be e-mailing friends and family to show them the truth.  He has the capacity to still steal a large portion of otherwise conservative votes.

282 Makes me ashamed to be a bass player. Trying to split the Christian vote from the Conservative so a "Moderate" gets in.

283 Dear Mr Huckabee,

Sit down and shut the fuck up.
2012? No way. no how.
Don't you have some pardons you need to work on?

284 Huckabee's son is a TARP beneficiary.  I hope he's not connected to the billion dollar fraud the DoJ just cracked in Florida.

285 He has the capacity to still steal a large portion of otherwise conservative votes.

Posted by: Schlippy at June 21, 2010 12:16 PM (xm1A1)

Maybe, I think he has more capacity to attract pro life liberal evangicals. There are alot of people out there that are pro life but want the government paying the tab for poor people and are for amnesty.

286

From what little of him that I have seen, I got the impression that he is a decent, fair, kindly and very nice man.

He's not.  Review the commutation process that got that killer on the loose.  Pay attention to how he treated prosecutors and anyone else who disagreed with him.  The key is, pay attention.  .

Misplaced compassion, the sign of the progressive.

287 There goes the evangelical vote.

What kind of fucktarded evangelical would vote for this son-of-a-bitch who let a murderer go free to kill again?

288 Medved's worse feature is not his "hispandering," and there is some room for debate on what to do about illegals. Yet somehow he always falls short of putting security as job number one, two, three, and four... What makes him obnoxious are things like praising Fuckabee as the most talented politician out of the entire 2008 GOP field; I fell over when I heard him say that. I even recall I was on a freeway in SoCal heading south and felt like pulling over and hurling into the divider. It's also his absurd obsessions like belief in Bigfoot, and I don't mean the one in the White House; his war against Halloween as The Evil Holiday; his taste for interviewing fruitcakes even though the experience leaves one learning nothing new; and especially his taste for nanny state gubmint. By which I mean he has never met a tax he didn't like... provided it was on something he personally feels is deleterious. Alcohol and ciggy taxes he loves. He also declares there is virtually no limit to the taxes, impositions, mandates and rules an individual state may impose upon its citizens; it's just the federal gubmint that has limits outside of the Bill of Rights. He likes the idea of "promoting" having children by taxing single people at higher rates. He is fine with social engineering by taxation... provided he's the engineer. And he loves him the taste of Fuckabee's boot. What a disappointment. Unlistenable now.

289 "Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz says Fairfield County money manager Peter Schiff has collected enough signatures to appear on the ballot for Connecticut's Republican primary for U.S. Senate."
  

290 Aside from the obvious political missteps and general stupidity (a populist Republican-- just what we need), he gives real fundamentalist Christians a bad name.

291

...superdouche Palin-basher and former McCain campaign advisor Steve Schmidt

the title 'former McCain campaign advisor' said it all.

292 58 As much as I love Red Eye, I am compelled to vomit when he guest hosts.  He thinks he's so damn funny and clever.

That's one show on foxnews.com I haven't ever bothered to load along with anything starring Shep 'my employer is unbalanced' Smith.  My hatred for this total schmuck started long before murdock hired him.  Would that they would pay him well enough to stay the F out of the election.

293 Another thing:  That cop-killer wasn't his only pardon.  Motherfuckabee pardoned more criminals than all six neighboring states combined.

294 You just know Palin scares the shit out of them (both left and right).

That's my favorite thing about her.

295

I mentioned that early on in the infamous atom-bomb thread before Drew and Ace went nuclear, but I didn't stick around to read the fireworks 'cause I had something else to attend to.  If it comes from Rush, it's gotta be right.

304 If things don't look good after the primaries start, call me. I know how to win.

305 You know who this helps?  Mitt Romney.  Except I don't believe he will run.  Nor do I believe he could ever win the GOP primaries.

It's also his absurd obsessions like belief in Bigfoot, and I don't mean the one in the White House; his war against Halloween as The Evil Holiday; his taste for interviewing fruitcakes even though the experience leaves one learning nothing new; and especially his taste for nanny state gubmint.

Meh, those I treat as Schtick. Every host has some sort of Schtick or another.

I know on the rapist turned murderer Fuckabee's claim was that it was actually the governor before him that caused it and there was nothing he could do.  That always screamed bullshit to me.  I bet a lot of the other pardons were also "Its out of my hands" type ones as well, especially when they went on to commit violent crimes again.

Chile beats Switzerland

This is proof, demonstrated on the field of sport, that Pisco and Coke is superior to Hot Chocolate and Mini Marshmallows.

321 Huckabee is a raghead

322 Huckafuck is the only nominee that will 100% make me vote third party. That dirty, sleezy, low-life fuckstain exists for one reason: So the MFM can keep painting all conservatives as bible-thumping, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing hicks. And that fucking worthless fucking jackass plays their game willingly with glee, just so he can feed his ego.

There is not one single person in the whole of the GOP who does a better job of playing to the worst media stereotypes than Fuckabee.

Vindictive, petty, stupid socialist cocksucker, stays in the GOP primary just so he can end with more delegates than Romney. Why? That's his character and it ain't nowhere near the example of the Jesus he claims to follow. Fucker is about as Christian as Obama.

I'll tell you right now, there's an audio/video/news story, something, out there right now where Fuckabee used the pardon of the cop-killer to try to drum up support among blacks--somehow, somewhere, some campaign stop he used it; because that is the only reason he pardoned him was for a chit to cash in later. And the MFM has sat on it.

And one last thing, it's those who support him in the GOP that make me refuse to call myself a Republican--people so stupid who think, "Oh, that boy's got a bible, he must be a good kid, I'll vote for him!" make me wonder if they have to remind themselves to take regular breaths. 

323 Shit, if Huckabee appealed to me, I would just vote Democrat.

324 Meh, those I treat as Schtick. Every host has some sort of Schtick or another. You may be right. Unfortunately this schtick is deadly dull and enervating, and it consumes 75% of his dreadful show. I had to quit listening because the time involved wasn't worth the effort to get to the 25% that was tolerable.

325 Everybody please read this, it will give you all the ammo you need: A Conservative Case Against Huckabee

"Michael Medved was born into a Jewish family in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and was raised in San Diego California ...He entered Yale University as a sixteen-year-old undergraduate, and graduated with honors in 1969, and then entered Yale Law School.

After his first year of law school, he left to work as a head speech writer for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Joe Duffey, and then for four years as a speech writer and political consultant. After political campaign work, including a position as an aide to Congressman Ron Dellums"

Did you guys think he was anything but a dem?

328 @ 327

I bet he's still jealous over her Daily Beast gig.

329 I'm not voting for either Romney or Huckabee.  If we are going to go down then the Dems need to own it and we don't need idiots on the Republican side providing them cover with their own versions of socialized medicine.  After what Romney did to health care in MA he should not be part of any serious conversation on potential nominees.

If either of those idiots gets the nomination I am voting third party because all of the protests and Tea Parties will have been for nothing and the election will just be  throwing the last bit of dirt on the Republic's burial plot anyway.

330 While I know many of the people here are southerners, and i love the south, i will tear through your states like Sherman if you vote for this guy in the primaries.

331

Huckabee defends why he commuted Clemmon's sentence.  It appears he did it because of racism--his, not theirs. 

"Unfairly harsh because he was young and black."   See, if he had been white, the sentence would have been fine.

332 How does one kick off a Republican campaign with a glowing piece in the New Yorker? That alone should be the kiss of death, chasing the writer from that rag off of his porch with a salt gun would have been a better start.

333 Sir... Sir... Monty's Ass? A question? What is your opinion of Compassionate Conservatism?

334 Yeah, Huck.  Coming out and announcing that you are going to be the "Anti-Palin" will net you scads of support from tea partiers, doncha know.  You already have several strikes against you:

1 Pardoning several killers, with a few of them killing again after release
2 Endorsing Andre Bauer in SC gov race - shows you have absolutely zero political accumen
3 Hiring Steve Schmidt as campaign adviser. 

No way in hades Huck gets the nod.

335 Anyone willing to "take one for the team" and be the bait to catch the Huckster in a gay sex scandal? That would definitely sink him with the Christian right.

336

I could hold my nose and vote Romney, it would be painful but I could do it. I cannot, absolutely cannot vote for Huckabee.

I voted for McCain and that was hard enough, but I simply will never vote for Mike Huckajesussaves.

LAKEHURST — Officials have lifted a lockdown at a navy base in Lakehurst, N.J.

The base says the 87th Security Forces Squadron responded to "simultaneous incidents" around 9:30 a.m. Monday. In a statement, the base says no personnel were in danger. The statement does not say what the incidents were.

The lockdown lasted an hour and kept traffic from getting into or out of the base.

Dear Gawd! Pawlenty?!!

Of course, let's not consider Pawlenty, the guy only showed he can govern better then most the potential candidates. You know, the thing we should actually base our opinion on.

Pawlenty has managed to turn the craziest state in the union, minnesota, towards fiscally conservative ideals. That is nothing to shake a stick at.

This is the state that is filled with all political spectrums. This is the state that reagan lost in his landslide of 84.  For Pawlenty to pull them further to the right is a major accomplisment.

Fine. Anything really. Dirty emails. I don't care. Something that takes him out. Wonder who did all those Arkansides for Hillary? Link Huck to them.

373 Maybe this is a sign we've got it all wrong. I mean, what can you say when the crazies descend on you from the left and the right?  Huckabee??? Why not just renominate McCain (and I'm still waiting for that shoe to drop) and get ready for the name change to "United Socialist States of America"?

Huckabee ... Ron Paul ... is this what happens when a party no longer has a clear vision of what it is?  The GOP has floundered now for over a decade at the highest levels and the leadership vacuum is beginning to tell. Thank you, John McCain. 

So, it appears our only recourse is to line up with one of the crazy factions. I thought we were done with the John Birch phenomenon but apparently not.

To ensure we cover most of the electorate, let's just adopt most of the left wing's prize platform planks (a la Huckabee), throw in enough conspiracy theories to satisfy the most rabid (a la Paul) ... and be sure to include a UFO wing. Did I leave anything nutty out of this victory recipe?

So, we're apparently going to have to eat a big, steaming crap sandwich if we're to stop Obama and his Bag of Nuts ... now it's only a matter of which one is the least odiferous.  Step up and make your suggestions.

Pawlenty is my governor.  He's pretty far down my list of ideal candidates (Palin, Paul Ryan, and Mike Pence being at the top of the list), but I'd take him in a heartbeat over Huckabee, Romney, or Daniels.  And I'd take Romney or Daniels in a heartbeat over Huckabee.  I'd take Ron Fuckin' Paul over Huckabee.  I'd take Amy Fuckin' Bishop over Huckabee.  I'd take a fucking circus clown over Huckabee.  

376 A "tongue bath" from "The New Yorker"? That's all you need to know to conclude that Huckabee is the candidate the left WANTS to run against. And therefore is the LAST person who should be nominated.

@388, we got us a gen-u-ine Huckabooster.

Dude, how about caring more about the country than you do yourself?

380 O/T the south was so thrilled to have a dem finally elected after the civil war. My grandfather's (b. 1892) first and middle names were Grover Cleveland....

381 Heh! Heh!  Rush playing clips of the MFM's outrage with BP's Tony Heyward out on his yacht.  Then saying "remember, FDR spent a lot of time out on his yacht during The Great Depression and WWII."

382 Let me tell you something, I'm a Christian and I have to say Schmuckabee is dangerous.  Why?  because Christians are fucking morons, that's why.

There's a guy named Joe Carter with a blog called Evangelical Outpost.  He pushed Schmuckabee like he was a Reagan conservative who came down from heaven on fluffy wings.  And I consider Carter to be somewhat intelligent, but for these fucktwit Christians to be completely blind to Huck's liberal leanings and completelack of common sense and judgment (like letting a killer go free because it's the christian thing to do????)  worries me a lot.  It could split the primary votes again and we'll end up with another shit candidate who will fail to repeal obamacare because he has neither the stomach nor the passion to get it repealed.

And you know who this benefits....

383

I'm not worried. Ron Paul will overtake him in the primaries.

384 The problem with all of this is, even if the Tea Party candidates make a strong showing the election, our leadership upon retaking the House will be the same ones that lead us to great success under Bush. Same faces, same stories. Weak willed, unfocused, bloated, corrupt, democrat lite leadership. At this point Huckabee would fit right in.

385 We need to beat the (D)s at their own game: find a nice, likeable fellow who's very good at mouthing cheap platitudes but who is ideologically a strong conservative. We get him into place and then we proceed to eat, fuck, and kill every single democrat in the nation (but not necessarily in that order).

The GOP has floundered now for over a decade at the highest levels and the leadership vacuum is beginning to tell. Excellent observation. Wanna know why Fuckabee generates such ire? Because he's a symptom of the sickness that kept the GOP in loser mode since not only 2006 but even earlier... GWB won in 2004 mainly because we had an identifiable war underway that Kerry wanted to lose, and people knew it. That advantage fell away by 2006 after relentless leftard demonization in the MFM. Get ready for a second term of Unicorn Rule unless the GOP finds which end is its ass and which end is its head.

391 If that asshole ends up being the nominee I will officially give up on the Republican party and ignore politics forever.  It will force me to face the fact that I have no representation in government and never will again.

You know, after how the 2008 campaign basically started in late 2006, and then picked up steam through 2007, only to make 2008 feel like Father Time was dragging his heels, I was really hoping that the 2012 election cycle would wait until the fall of 2011 to start warming up.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha into infinity.

It would be fun to see Cantor run, if for no other reason than to get a few more Helen Thomases hiding in the MFM to show themselves.

or the DNC letting everyone know he is a son of abraham if you catch their drift

413 Fuck Florida

414

More bad news, Crist the Douchebag has a double digit lead over Marco Rubio.

Doesnt help that yesterday it cam out Rubio hasnt been paying his mortgage.
Ugh.

Apparently, there was a dispute with the bank.  Don't go running off to ladies' department with Jeff B. now, Ben.

416

I already said that I'm not a Huckabee fan. He won't be a viable candidate for 2012. So why bother to make petty comments about him?

Posted by: With Obama, Rahm and Hillary we get Howdy Doody, Buffalo Bob and Clarabelle

Because he gave an interview where he wanted to paint himself as anti-establishment GOP.  More in line with the base.  That's coded campaign preplanning talk.  If he didn't do that comments wouldn't be made about him like this.  And there's nothing petty about them.

417 Rubio down big to Crist, So maybe Rubio defending Romneycare and attaching himself to Huckabee and Jeb Bush while keeping Sarah EFFIN Palin at a distance was not such a smart idea?

418 The Huckster is a huckster

419 Seriously, both Mitt and Huck are on my 'stay home and drink beer' list on any Election Day.

Posted by: Upscale Community Organizing Thought Criminal

 

1. I don't care for either one as a candidate.

2. When some social conservatives were accused of doing exactly this in 2008, the GOP blamed them for losing the election.

420

So why bother to make petty comments about him?

What? We say worse things about Ace every day.

And he only kills hobos...

421

I think Huckabee has overestimated the number of stupid people he can rely upon.  It's a different time now in the information age and changing daily.  Not all voters are unconnected pig owners in the woods of Arkansas.  He knows he's full of shit.  But, like Obama, he thinks he's totally awesome at it.  And that the stupid vote will put him over the top. 

Huckabee, there are fewer and fewer hicks out there.  That's one consequence of the information age.

422 So maybe Rubio defending Romneycare and attaching himself to Huckabee and Jeb Bush while keeping Sarah EFFIN Palin at a distance was not such a smart idea?

Rubio did that?

423

287 Oh, and to those evangelicals who say they'll stay home if this fat-ass moron isn't the nominee: 

I haven't heard anyone say that, though. Perhaps some have. But I doubt it.

424 Hell, if I'm voting for a fat guy, I'm pulling the lever for Christie of NJ....

425 "After what Romney did to health care in MA he should not be part of any serious conversation on potential nominees. " Pray tell, what did Romney "do" to health care in MA?

426 Rubio did that?

To answer my own question - yes, he did.  Romney, Huckabee, and Jeb Bush have all endorsed Rubio.  As far as I know, Sarah Palin has not officially endorsed Rubio.

427 So this explains the Meatloaf comment on the Fox show about "knowing what it's like" to receive unfair criticism.

What a plant.

428 263 Huckabee isn't a candidate whom I would support. But I don't understand why you dislike him so much, Gabe. From what little of him that I have seen, I got the impression that he is a decent, fair, kindly and very nice man. I'm curious. Did you dislike Jerry Falwell, too, and if so, was it for the same reasons? (Reasons which say more about you than they say about Huckabee.)

I dislike Certain Fuckin' Doomabee for many reasons. Among the foremost: His Mormon-baiting campaign in 2008. Really, that should disqualify him from ever showing his face at any GOP event ever again. For the rest of time, I mean.

"Decent, fair, kindly, very nice." What are you smoking. His attacks on Romney were sleezy, petty, and insulting both to Mormons and to Christians who then get tarred by proximity to the Huckster's misbehavior.

429 Fuck off, Huckabee.

I didn't like Romney [still don't], but the crap Huck through at him was disgusting. I would not vote for Huck. He is vile.

430

The media is choosing their preferred 2012 Republican candidate, i.e. designated loser, like they did in 2008.

A profile in the New Yorker. For Christs sake.

431 It's like they want to hand Osabama a second term. Interesting side note: While "Obama" is in Chrome's dictionary, "Osama" is not (although Obama is a correction option for Osama). So I added both Osama and Osabama. "Ogabe" comes back "Mugabe". Apparently even web browsers have wised up.

432 There's only room enough for one awesome fat guy around here.

433 So that's two leftist goons running in 2012 - Huckabee and Gingrich. America has no need for these fat chucklehead, money-grubbing, fame-seeking, charlatans. Think of all the time, money and votes these two gas bags will waste just so they can get another book or tv deal. As buffoonish as McCain without the old boy creds to move them to the front of the GOP line. They are certifiable if they think they actually have a chance. Maybe Thompson's hot wife will force him to run again and he'll be just as disinterested and disappointing as last time. He sure seems more motivated and the happy outside campaign mode that's for sure. And of course that lunatic Paul is going to run. He's already making noise. So every leftist who doesn't think Obama is going to give them their weed and free swag is going put up a Paul sign on their POS car. And we're already to four no-chance waste-o-space candidates. Let's add Guiliani until he decides to drop out and endorse some ass clown just like last time. That makes five. Imagine the debate stage. It will be like a Dick Tracy villain line-up. Palin won't run. She's gunning for super-media-star. Hosting a tv show doesn't get your leadership credentials up and she is smart enough to know that. I'm sure we'll get a couple conservatives the average voter hasn't heard of and won't vote for even if they like his message. Hunter I'm looking at you. Add in the McCain. A leftist in GOP clothing who has no principles, but has two things going for him: a vigorous support of a leftist media (until general election time), and the old boy cred of having been there a long time. The GOP puts waiting in line above being a good President. The only wait-and-see for 2012 will be someone with the charisma, name-recognition, and ability to win. That could be a Bush. That could be a Reagan. We could very well not see a candidate in the GOP field who has these qualities and can win in 2012. Let's hope for a Reagan. I'm doubtful we'll get a Goldwater this election. Someone popular enough to get their ideas out to the voters but not popular enough to win. In the end elections are expensive and blogs are cheap. So we may get one candidate who can win and we actually want to win. That's my two cents.

434 Huckabee is Elmer Gantry, he's a con artist pretending to be somebody.

435

Misplaced compassion, the sign of the progressive.

Bizarre rationale there Clyde.

 

BTW, Clyde, FDR had two yachts, the USS Potomac, moored in Oakland, California, and the USS Sequoia, moored on the Potomac, both of which were modified to be handicapped-accessible. So I'm skeptical of your assertion that he got the US Navy to give him pleasure cruises around the Pacific on US Navy Cruisers. To be sure, he had his faults, but a Nancy Pelosi he wasn't.

Yeah, Clyde, you've got credibility.

 

436 The Founders, in their wisdom, saw fit to specifically disallow religious tests for public office in the Constitution. Unfortunately, the idiots who see fit to apply their own test are all on our side. "He's a Christian" is not a qualification, you stupid fucksticks! You, and Hucksterbee, can STFD and STFU! I swear I'm gonna lose it if we get another term of Osabama thanks to this guy and his drooling acolytes.

437

Huckabee go the fuck away! Go play in your band 'Mike and the Douchebags 'or something

438 Rush has been warning us about this kind of thing for years: be wary of people who the Left wants us to nominate. The Left knows that Legions of Conservatives would stay home if either Pass-the-Buckabee or Mittens were nominated. That's why they want either one. They perceive Mittens to be running out of gas. So, suddenly, second look at Huck? Don't fall for it. Sorry; accept no substitutes. Make mine Palin.

439 DrewM.: "If Huck is the GOP nominee, in '12 my first question will be, 'So, just how crazy is the Libertarian candidate this year?'"

+1 or more, depending on inflation

440 I think he is easily the strongest candidate the GOP has.

#450 Gabriel @ 1:34

There is no way of being certain of what is going on inside your head, Gabe. But in view of other opinions which you have expressed on this website in the past, I'm rather inclined to suspect that your reply was disingenuous and that you have ulterior motives for taking cheap shots at Huckabee.

BTW, from what I've seen, Huckabee's popularity with audiences, guests and staff of FOX would seem to show that the gossipy cheap shots taken at Huckabee here today aren't indicative of a consensus of Americans.  I continue to believe that he is a nice man, and that your bitchiness served no purpose.   

442 On my sacred honor I have to reveal I cornholed Mike Huckabee. I didn't want my wife to find out from someone else.

443 Ah, Huckabee... just another in the long list of Fox personalities that are unwatchable (like Powers, Colmes, Rivers, Hill, Beckel.... on and on).  His show was ok for the first half hour, then it got old.  He's a narcissistic egomaniac.  Kind of like most politicians who happen to be bad for this country.

444 There is no way of being certain of what is going on inside your head, Gabe. But in view of other opinions which you have expressed on this website in the past, I'm rather inclined to suspect that your reply was disingenuous and that you have ulterior motives for taking cheap shots at Huckabee.

Oh, joy, somebody who thinks I have "ulterior motives." Blah. I don't see you questioning the motives of the several dozen commenters above who agree with me about Huckabee. It's not like my opinion is an uncommon one here at the HQ...

What are you really trying to say? Hmmm... Just come out and say it, punk.

445 Huckabee is the MFM's wedge candidate, and Huckabee's just egotistical enough under his faux self-deprecation that he'll ride its tongue-bathing wave through the primaries to a) stroke his own ego and b) take out early, strong, anti-statist conservatives. That's Huckabee's role. He has a record. The MFM has a record. So, let's just not do something insane and repeat that which we just did and expect different results.

Rule of thumb: if'n the MFM is fer it, be agin' it.

In fact, and in a twisted, Huckabeerian spirit, let's make it a Commandment.

446 Cop killer. End of story.

Whoa, it appears that I hit a nerve.

It's like I said, Mr. Malor, I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to assert that I can read your mind.

But your ad hominem attack is tantamount to your concession that you just lost the argument, and your touchiness answers my heretofore unanswered questions, also. Apparently it is as I suspected, oui monsur?

Look at this pile of shit.  Who is trying to be certain about what is going on in his head, fool?  What other opinions?  What exactly would lead you to see disingenuousness, douchebag?  Disingenuousness vis-a-vis what?  And, finally, the hamfisted insinuation that he dislikes huckabee because he's gay.  You dumbfuck.  There are dozens of excellent reasons to dislike that ego-damaged asshole.  Read the above thread again, dummy. 

"Oh, well he's gay, therefore we can discount anything else he might say."  Read #443.  Just because you're stupid doesn't mean everyone else is; it doesn't mean a clumsy argument like that will work on anyone (but yourself). 

Your post is a prime example of why people hate Huckabee.  It reflects him; it picks up his mode of thinking perfectly.  That garbage makes real conservatives look bad.

And an overexposed fat idiot is bound to have some support, but don't conflate that with overwhelming popular appeal.  (Unless you're a narcissisistic douchebag; in that case, knock yourself out.  You will, regardless.)

449

Indeed, I am "touchy" about your innuendo: " Did you dislike Jerry Falwell, too, and if so, was it for the same reasons? (Reasons which say more about you than they say about Huckabee.)"

You were too chickenshit to come out and say what you really meant, which I also find touches me off.

450

It's like I said, Mr. Malor, I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to assert that I can read your mind.

I doubt you can read the label on that bottle of I'm A Dumbshit you're drinking either.  You're the one who started off with the ad hominem attack, asshole, and that is tantamount to your concession that you just lost the argument, and your touchiness answers my heretofore unanswered questions, also.

Go back to Arkansas.  You're about 1/2 as clever as you think.

451

Hah!  I just realized I had the sock on, and I couldn't be happier about it!

452

Don't leave yet, asshole.  I wanna see more of that clever.

453

As the wise man once said:  He knows he's full of shit.  But, like Obama, he thinks he's totally awesome at it. 

Very few people in the world like that.  You can see them coming a mile away.

"Pelican," I believe you're totally awesome like that.  Totally awesome.  That was some fine bullshit you spouted.  Wasn't it? 

454 Pick me up.  You know you want to.

But, beware her LOL.  It's lethal.

459 Relying on others for support doesn't enhance your credibility, Mr. Malor. It just shows that you need a crutch, 'cause you recognize that your argument doesn't have any merit or validity. Never mind how desperate you have to be to rely on the likes of rdbrewer and his ilk for support.

460

This is too funny. Tell me oh telepathic one, what did I really mean to say?

You already said what you readlly meant, dummy.  Doesn't take an astronomer to predict the sun's coming up in the morning, and it doesn't take telepathy to read your grade school mode of argumentation.

Here I am being tactful, and there you are getting all huffy on me. Tell me, does it go back to something that happened in your childhood?

And who on Earth would ever get huffy with the likes of you?  That is, those who aren't into psychological and intellectual honesty.

You're about as tactful as a fart in an elevator.  Putting someones sexual orientation in an attempt to discredit them and to minimize the myriad of reasons people might have to hate you, um, Huckabee?  Yeah, that's classy.  Tactful.

461

Relying on others for support doesn't enhance your credibility, Mr. Malor.

Reality isn't PlayDoh, dummy.  He's not relying upon anyone. 

It just shows that you need a crutch, 'cause you recognize that your argument doesn't have any merit or validity.

Stepping off from a lie and proceeding very logically to an invalid conclusion.

Never mind how desperate you have to be to rely on the likes of rdbrewer and his ilk for support.

He doesn't need me.  I don't even like 'em that much.  It's just that I hate intellectually dishonest assholes with the heat of a thousand suns.

You don't me to think that you've lost your cool, do you, you suave, shrewd and sophisticated, old troll killer you?

465 I just got one word for you guys:

Chris Christie

466

Brevity, rdbrewer, brevity. Someone might get the idea that you're freaking out in your frustration.

Not at all, psycho.  Hating your dishonesty dose not equal long windedness or freaking out.  But I can see why you might say that...

You don't me to think that you've lost your cool, do you, you suave, shrewd and sophisticated, old troll killer you?

Let me try to make the point again so that you can understand:  Reality isn't PlayDoh, dummy.  I'm fully aware you're wedded to that idea, though; you can't see anything else.  That's the lot of the subjectivist, intellectually dishonest asshole. 

467 (giggle, giggle, snicker, snicker)

468 Take your time.

469

Yay! Malor spelled "shtick" correctly.

Didn't rub off on the commenters, though.

(P.S. Ace, pay attention.)

470

You know, whey they treated you, um, Huckabee, like a total hick--a complete, uneducated, unprepared hick?  They were right.

471 He may be running but he is also growing faster then an Al Gore in 2001. 

Seriously, the man is getting big -- I guess that puts the rumors of a stomach staple behind him.

472 Steve Schmidt is going to have fun with something I caught part of this morning, while waiting for RUSH to come up on the radio. Apparently some sweet young thang went and sex-murdered HER OWN daughter,vomitous details, the lady's name is Marisa HUCKABEE.

Rats!  I got here way, too late.  You all (and probably many more) beat me to the punch...by a mile.  Even as a born-again Christian (one of them, too), I can't tell you how much your Huckster label as a "Christian Socialist" rings true.  Huckster is the modern-day version of famous Christian and populist William Jennings Bryan, who as a do-gooder gave us the modern Democratic Party; fueled mostly by misinterpreting and misapplying the Sermon on the Mount as something that made perfect sense as a political platform and who went about to implement legislation to usher in the kingdom of heaven. 

This guy is nothing but a quip-worthy opportunist fraud who can charm one's pants off by mixing "sounds good" with "feels good", only to lift your wallet to "feed the poor"; unfortunately, it's kinda like "compassionate conservatism" garbage that got us where we are. 

What I fear, is that the 55+% of the people who currently hold the sentiment that the BP shakedown is OK, will fall for this fraud, too.

476 Can't someone ban "keivn"???

Anyway, The Huckster who is PRO-AMNESTY - I heard him tell KIDS - "Hey wouldn't it be NEAT if the [end result] of giving Illegal Aliens the VOTE is that they voted to repeal Roe V Wade????" May 27th, 2007 "The Call" on Christian TV really late at night.

NOT TO ADULTS, to the children!

He is a slimey weasel of low degree.
I'm in heavy Red of Texas and do not know a single person who wants to vote for him, either. Same as McCain and other McCain supporters. And Newt Gingrich with his FAKE "Come to Jesus" "Founding Fathers" RECENT RHETORIC!

Do not McCain us again!!!

477 "HeÂ’s really, really, really competitive, to the point of competing against his staff, competing against his wife." "

I knew THAT the first time I saw her, saw her eyes.
She is a lovely lady. Very lovely.

We had some pastors like him in our area before. "competitive against his wife" isn't just about CHECKERS!

Take an older woman's word for THAT!

There is nothing I wouldn't put past him, nothing I would trust him with.

I would not trust him with the children's candy!
