That's funny. When I think of the scheming, prevaricating, left-wing, Arkansas campaign-money cheat Huckabee I think of this a passage. (paraphrase) Many will call on my name saying Lord, Lord, and I will say I never knew you.

One who listens to his smooth tongue has ears that need tickling.

The Fox pundits and employess dance to Rupert Murdoch's tune, plain and simple.

Of course, it's impossible to read what results Murdoch wants in the primaries and in the general. Whatever it is, it's to the benefit of his pocketbook. Not us schmucks.

And just wait till his liberal son takes over the empire. He'll make daddy look like Reagan.

CNN has done everything they can to harm our the WOT, our military men and women, and all of us who support them. Tuning in to CNN is supporting THEIR liberal mission, IMHO.

Well I should hope that one believes their religion is the one true church, otherwise it would not be a religion, lol.

Regardless, MR has never outright disrespected or even discussed, another candidates religion, that I have heard.

Unlike the GOP candidate that won tonight.

“...So this little stretch-marked cornpone is either lying, has a closed head injury, is a complete ignoramus — or all of the above.”

Only Ann could say “stretch-marked cornpone”. Too funny.

Huckabee was competitive in SC before winning Iowa. It’s now Huckabee and McCain wrestling for SC after McCain takes NH on Tuesday. Pat Robertson didn’t have any chance of winning other states like Huckabee does.

What? When did Romney say that Christians were apostate?

Romney is a true-believing, 6th-generation Mormon, a former 2-time bishop & 1-time stake president (a stake prez heads usually 5-10 wards). His dad's cousin, Marion G. Romney, was one of the top leaders in the church at one point headed the LDS missionary outreach. Marion G. Romney said that among the top 4 lessons taught to LDS missionaries to "reach out" with the LDS "gospel" was the doctrine of the 100% Christian "apostasy" and LDS "restoration."

In fact, of all LDS doctrines, this is tops because it comes directly from the "First Vision" of Joseph Smith & has become encased with LDS "Scripture" in the Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith - History, verses 18-20. [LDS cannot just shed "Scripture" as of simply yesteryear rhetoric]. In this passage, Smith describes two unnamed personages who appeared to him; these "personages" told him...

...ALL "Christian sects" were wrong...

...ALL believers of such "Christian sects"--referred to as "professors"--were "corrupt"

...ALL creeds of these believers were an "abomination in his sight" [abomination=putrid]

Earlier this year I went to the largest retailer (not just book retailer, but overall retailer) in my region...to their book section...where they had a special LDS section...one of the most prominently displayed books there was supposedly all about the Christian "apostasy" which took place about 4th century & lasted for about 1500 years.

LDS don't believe that just some Christians and some Christian churches fell away; no, they label ALL Protestants & ALL Catholics & ALL Orthodox as "apostate Gentiles."

Romney descended from Parley P. Pratt. Parley's brother, Orson, a leader in the LDS church, called the Catholic church the "whore of Babylon" and the Protestant Church one of its "harlot daughters."

This guy is talking about corporate GREED and medical costs??? It was HIS greed in perpetrating fraudulent medical lawsuits that is (partly) responsible for the state of affairs. Silky Pony is the phoniest POS I ever saw—barforama.

Please. Spare me.

If he really wanted to be important he would have gone to school like the rest of his brothers, cousins, ancestors etc. and got a law degree.

Instead he became a disc jockey.

And that’s all he is— a glorified, politically themed Delilah.

Republican 3rd placve is tightening between Thompson 13.6% to McCain 13.31% with 72% reporting. I hope McCain doesn’t squeeze by, as Fred will get lost in the shuffle.

-— He already was when he had third outright. Now Fox has them at 13% each and they’ve already moved McCain to third and Fred fourth.

Am I seeing a conspiracy here? I think not. Go Fred!

I thought about trying to explain to you why you are insulting to people like myself who support Huckabee, who are conservative evangelicals, and who are very well educated, but then you lump Rick Warren and Joel Osteen together....so I shall just leave you to your slander

Yes I agree. I think perhaps we should email the FRED campaign to tell them to stay with it because what I saw tonight on CSPAN was a nightmare all around.
Bargaining for votes, offering goodies, GOOD Lord what are we doing here.
