The most important and meaningful event in years for conservatives was the Chick-fil-A appreciation day he organized, one RINO losers like Romney ignored.
that’s right he gave us McShame......
Perkin’ group is the organization targetted by the same-sex-marriage-supporting terrorist gunman last week.
And, why isn't that happening? Is it the Romney wing of the party at work trying to crush social conservatism within the party?
we have a very dangerous people in the WH and running the senate .
we don't need fools too clueless to fold their cards after
THEY shot off their mouth and wiped out their own chances.
the guy needs to show some class and exit quietly not crying and blaming everyone for HIS DIRECT ACTIONS. Man up and leave. And we do not need Huckster playing games either.
“Devious” does not begin to describe the mischief that has been wrought in recent days, first with a Senatorial candidate who made a double gaffe on the air, with almost a single breath, then proceeded to double down on the damage already done, by neither admitting ignorance, nor by exhibiting any sort of humility for what was, for a short time anyway, only a misuse of a single word.
Rape is never “legitimate”, there is only one word that accurately describes this act of personal terrorism, and that is “forcible”. Nothing legitimate about that sort of trauma at all. Rape is an assault, a physical battering, with intent to do sufficient bodily harm so submission becomes the only alternative offered. The rapist relies on greater physical strength and the relative lack of will on the part of the victim to exert dominance. Ugly any way you look at it, rape is form of sexual bullying that is wrong on so many levels.
That objection aside, the reliance on some long-abandoned medical theory, that the female endocrine system somehow makes it impossible for the fertilized ovum to implant is the female is subjected to severe physical trauma, has been disproven over and over, long before this postulate was ever raised. There is roughly the same probablity that fertilization will take place, and the fertilized egg will implant, after a rape as after consensual union without all the trauma.
Now, the argument is made, to terminate a pregnancy after the act of forcible rape, is that just, right or even to be considered? There are so many variables here, it is hard to come with a “one-rule” answer. The liberals have had a easy answer (for them), ever since the right to abortion on demand was authorized by judicial decree, but nowhere is there any record of any such law being determined by public acceptance, through representative voting on the virtues or the ethical wrongness of such a blanket permission.
In his head, this may be the point that Todd Akin was trying to make, but he either cannot or will not articulate it, and falls back on his “strong Christian belief” as support, no logic allowed.
Therefore, it becomes a mission from God to stand or fall on this one postulate, and everything else just gets lost in the smoke and ruin that is left in its aftermath.
While all this as an admirable goal, as seen in the abstract, it only diminishes the larger effort here. People who should know better get swept up in the passion of the moment, and if the game doesn’t go their way, they will just scoop up all their marbles and go home.
That strategy for getting your way wore thin at about the age of six.
If Missouri folks vote for McCaskill it will become the “Eat Me” state.
There hasn't been a more meaningful show of conservatism in years than the one Huckabee organized in support of Chick-fil-A.
Huckabee didn’t give us anything, Fred Thompson started to late to defeat McCain.
Then find one just as strong of a replacement or watch the grassroots rally around Akin.
He was the devious slug who cut off everyone elses chances to stop McCain in 2008 .
He is Elmer Gantry without the good hair.
The cartoon ought to be about Romney. Since you have grown to love him, you’ll learn to like Akin, too.
I used to say that the Huckster was Bill Clinton with his zipper up. But it has become apparent that I was unfair. To the Toon.
The only people hurting republican chances are republicans themselves.
This is what the democrats did to the republicans in August of 2012.

Don’t forget that GrandMa at a townhall that told McLame that she didn’t trust that Obama he is a Arab/Moslem (Wahabbi) and then McStain ripping the microphone from her hands, trying his best to keep from pushing her back in her seat as his natural desire, as he vigorously shook his head ‘no-no-no ma’am’... he is a decent man...no-ma’am.
"There were talking point memos sent from the National Republican Senatorial Committee suggesting language to urge Akin to drop out. Political consultants were ordered to stay away from Akin or lose future business with GOP committees. Operatives were recruited to set up a network of pastors to call Akin to urge him to get out. Money has changed hands to push him off the plank."
Shame on you, Mike Huckabee, forcing those poor GOP operatives do these things! /s
So he is no great republican.
He is a greedy and power hungry fool that does not have the class or decency to quit.
He is responsible for this mess and only he can shut it down.
But he is a cry baby and delusional
Everybody in the 2008 primary knew Huckabee was a liberal. Him trying to step in to Missouri politics is more of the same. We are trying to get rid of socialist policies not tilt at windmills. I would love to place a God-fearing right-wing economic radical in every Congressional, Supreme Court, Executive and Bureaucratic position, but thats not going to happen. No General goes into a battle thinking there are going to be 0 causalties. You have determine the whole battlefield. The Akin Brigade is toast.
