There’s other states with a voice? Really? And here I thought is was all about Iowa.

To the extent that so-called “religious conservatives” support Huckaby, they demonstrate they are, at best, not at all conservative, and at worst, that they are, shall we say, easily led...

Here’s an idea - dump the Huckster, dump Giuliani (and dump Mitt and McQueeg, too) and get behind Fred. Fred has what the SoCons, the Fiscons, and the DefCons are all looking for.

Huck-Rudy showdown would be a primary fight between two candidates with almost nothing in common. It would polarize and tear apart the Republican party just as the national electorate is currently polarized.

Make you wonder whether the Huckster's sudden rise was financed by George Soros front groups.

In the end, though, the Huckster simply lacks the intellectual necessities to head a ticket, so he will take second spot behind Guilani.

I think the ranks of most of the people that attend these huge mega-churches are made up of people like that.

Hmmm... no mention of McCain, Fred, or Hunter. Nope, no bias here. More evidence of the drive-by’s efforts to manipulate the GOP turnout.

Freddoso is another Noo Yawk cosmo shilling for Rudy over that “dumb hick” Huck. Why does this idiot even think that its going to be Huckster versus Giussolini anyway? What about Romney and McCain?

+++++

If Thompson doesn’t get the nomination, get used to the idea of a Hillary presidency.

Huckleberry is the GOP’s version of Jimma “I’ze born again” Carter.

For any Christians who are supporting this imbecile, get a clue. You are supposed to be “wise as serpents...”, not stupid, gullible sheep, led around by anyone who can quote from the Bible. You are supposed to be wise and have discernment. And if you do, you won’t be supporting this loser.

Left out the word “vote”.

Huckabee cannot win a national election, so if he is nominated, the GOP will have committed political suicide.

The Huckster is kinda ticking me off. I don’t know what it is, but he’s doing nothing to motivate me. Duncan’s going nowhere and Thompson is not catching on. ?, Is this the year of the sheep?

Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

In this poll Hunter is up 3% and even with Paul and Thompson.

I have to say something. I said it on an earlier thread. The Fred campaign may be more wise than we have given them credit for.

While all the others are out there pounding each other, Fred is just now making a run.

By now, we are sick of all of the frontrunners, but we are yet to be sick of Fred.

Maybe a brilliant strategy and leave Fred as the last man standing.

From there, it becomes a Republican blood feud unless a third candidate can force a brokered convention.
***Intrade/Rasumussen currently show the chances of a brokered GOP convention to be 15%.

Thats my hope...but watching people align for Huck has me thinking that the intelligence quotient is missing.
