I attended a Huckabee event in Des Moines last night. He spoke for about a half hour and then answered questions. I left before it was over, but I think I got a fairly good look at what he says he stands for:

He's Pro-life, Strong supporter of the 2ed amendment and believes we need to give our troops the necessary tools to win the war on terror.

He spoke at length about the need for everyone to become MORE HEALTHY; emphasizing good nutrition and leading a healthy lifestyle. He spoke strongly against the use of tobacco.

I got the impression he is supportive of the $1 per pack tobacco tax increase that is moving thru the Iowa Legislature.

And I walked away wondering if he would be equally enthusiastic about a Twinkie Tax.

Mr Huckabee and I are probably never going to be on a first name basis. If he gets the nomination I will put his yardsign in my yard and I will vote for him, but I won't give him any money and I won't do any phone calling for him.

Short and simple: Despite all his good qualities, he's a Smoking Nazi who could easily become a Calorie Nazi.

In my lifetime I have discovered the only people more sanctimonious than Reformed Whores are Reformed Smokers.

I'm going to pass on this fella.

Oh this is tooooooo delicious!!

What Biden said...from townhall's blog...

~~~~~~~~~~~

Biden on Obama:

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,”

A clean black man? The first black guy on the American political scene who can both shower regularly and speak properly? Is that really what Biden thinks?

If a Republican had said this, we'd have a national outpouring of grief over the residual ignorance and racial insensitivity in our country, and the guy would be in sensitivity training unti round about the time John Kerry is elected president. Biden, I'm sure, will pay no consequences for his boneheaded comment. Update: In other Dem leadership news, Schumer and Clinton both have imaginary friends, and they talk about them to the media.

You're selling him short, IG....(IMO)

He's more zealot-like on health issues cause he lost over 100 pounds by sheer determination, discipline and changing his approach to eating.

He set high standards for himself and met them...
