Maybe it’s just me, but we seem to have quite a few purportedly conservative posters on conservative sites putting forward some of the lamest “progressive” memes of late.
Sure makes one wonder.
Wow, Rush Limbaugh is really full of himself.
Rush, be a man and invited Mike Huckabee on your show and talk to him man to man.
Rush Limbaugh is such a hypocrite on this . . divorced three times, no children, and no military service.
and he is Mr. Conservative Values?
Go back to DU from whence you came.
I would say welcome...but you won’t last long.
P. T. Barnum was right.
Oh, so driving up the cost of doing anything in the USA with all sorts of taxes and regulations is now 'market manipulation'?
Cheap foreign labor has always filled the stores like Pier 1 with cheap goods. The fact that China and India figured out that making silicon chips was more lucrative than making wicker chairs is not due to 'market manipulation', but simply to the markets in India and China being more open to capitalist ventures than in years past.
It's amazing how many folks don't understand that when the rest of the world gets smart and goes capitalist, we'll won't be as rich by comparison. This will last until the relative wages balance out. Then, of course, we'll be poorer than the rest of the world by the ratio of our stupid regulation and taxes to theirs.
The president should do everyting right and reasonable, to curtail abortions, while actually making an effective effort to convince America of the reality of the need to protect all innocent human life -- for a change.
Not even the great communicator, Ronald Reagan, did that as much, as well as he could have (to say nothing of nominating O'Connor).
We need leadership. Also including:
- make sure no anti-life provisions in treaties, etc.
- continue to stand strong against embryo farming (but be happy to receive pharaceutical's money and use it against their worst work)
- assure no taxpayer funded abortions
- pressure Congress and lead America to end the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood
- be sure to veto the next attempts at harrassing pro-life demonstrators
- stop IRS curtailment of non-profit freedoms to speak and take pro-life action
Etc., etc., etc.
Now, that's funny. (and it might be closer to the truth than you might suspect)
I just hope the people of Iowa see thru his B.S. and vote for Romney. That will eliminate the huckster from the race.
lol
His mention of verticality and horizontal politics can also resonate. These words are often used in church politics and liturgical discussions. One wonders if that is where he got them and if they are directed toward a certain constituency. Nonetheless, it is true that many Americans don't pigeon-hole policies in ideological terms. If he can articulate that notion, he will be very popular. And speaking of articulation, what a breath of fresh air to hear someone speak the English language, actually complete a sentence when compared to what we have had to endure the last eight years.
So, not a grand slam, the format didn't allow that, but definitely a homer, and the fact that he got on the Tonight Show the day before the caucuses is just another quiver in his arrow. It speaks to his desire to win and his ability to discern how to get exposure. The guy is a winner.
And a fine articulation of the kind of effort it will take for a Republican to win in November -- and lead after that.
Hopefully, it will be enjoyable to observe. I think I'll actually do some participating.
Hope vs. just "Hot Springs"
Remind me again which of these boys is the one that tortured and hung a poor dog and got away with it?
Yeah, I wasn't aware that he was the real man from Hope. Anyway, his political skills are very good, and ideology notwithstanding, he may be the best nominee to counter the democrats in an election that is going to be about change. Huckabee wins Iowa.
You are on the wrong site...DU is your site of choice
“Remind me again which of these boys is the one that tortured and hung a poor dog and got away with it?”
One of the fat ones.
“Maybe it’s just me, but we seem to have quite a few purportedly conservative posters on conservative sites putting forward some of the lamest “progressive” memes of late.

Huck is really attracting the lowest of the low. Sorry, but I have yet to read anything by any Huckafan that made any sense.
