Has El Rushbo actually forgotten how our coalition was built?
"Both McCain and Huckabee are actively seeking support from non-Republicans. If I didn't know better, I'd say some of these candidates have some sort of grudge against the Republican Party and are trying to harm it."
Seems like he has. Think what you will about McCain or Huckabee, but Rush is not right on this one. In fact, there was another guy who appealed to Democrats and Independents in building a winning electoral coalition. Rush has heard of him... and even has an affectionate name for him: Ronaldus Magnus.
I know all the concerns people have about McCain -- and they are well founded. Trick is, in order to allow that Mitt Romney is a conservative, one must also assume Mike Huckabee is a conservative as well. Visit MikeHuckabee.com and view his positions on issues instead of listening to the establishment hit police. What you will see is the rebuilding of the coalition years of Bush/Clinton/Bush has eroded.
The Huckabee bridal registry idea may have come from press reports that Hillary Clinton had one in a store in Omaha. Supporter and billionaire Warren Buffet and friends encouraged others to help with furnishing the Clintons DC and NY mansions. The details of a Clinton registry have been disputed by their supporters as has been the Huckabee story, but the overall effect is that this is another similarity between the Huckabees and Clintons that is not flattering.
U are a joke, “my friend”, as mccain would say with a weird smirk.

LOL!
I thought all Sidebar Moderators were issued a bottle of Troll Remover when they took the job.
LOL...thanks for pinging to the fun one.
Yeah, but then the kitties wouldn’t get a chance to play. I like it better this way. I was hoping for some good zot threads as the primaries ramp up!
Can you do Cagney?
Obviously he's French........
A certain Christian radio talk show host was bashing Fred today and promoting Huckabee. She actually played parts of Mrs. Thompson’s interview, but of course, not in it’s whole context in order to bash Fred. Pathetic.
You didn't write that you were (as far as I found). But, before I replied to the first time, I had checked out you last several posts and guess what I found. You were on Huckabee related thread seemingly disagreeing with FReepers who were badmouthing Huckabee. I drew a conclusion. Was I wrong?
Keep worshiping at the alter of Rush. Soon your mind will be his completely.
I have taken issue with Rush on two of his positions: immigration (I think we should have more, not less immigration and that legislation should be passed that makes it easier for people to come here -- legally) and the position he took on Terri Schaivo -- Rush wanted the federal government to step into this state adjudicated matter.
Dang. I miss all the fun.
