I thought the time was right to start up a live thread for results and comments about tonight, so here we are!

It’s established and standard Christian definition, when it comes to salvation — you don’t meet up with Christian doctrine — you’re not Christian... it’s not hard to understand...

No. It is not hard to understand. Your position is that any religious group that is not Christian is, by your definition, a cult. Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, all cults. I was just clarifying that.

Way to go! :)

Thank you for everything you did! :)

When Fred officially locks in third place, will he be giving a speach? Just wondering if he is or has already headed for New Hampshire.

[DCPatriot]

Well, to be fair...when Rush starts up, it’s hard to talk over him...both for his eloqence and his hard-of-hearing..which he acknowledged early on tonight.

I briefly met Laura Ingraham in Nov or Dec of 2000 when she walked her dog in with the “Get out of Cheney’s house” protests against Algore’s attempt to steal the election. She’s a real nice person in addition to being pretty, charming, and smart.

Where did she go? After the Rush call and the following commercial, she was gone, but Estridge was still there.

Ingraham probably wanted to leave to get some sleep before her show in the morning, but they didn’t even bid her goodbye or say that she had to leave.

I will tell you this, “half the Dims are out of the race and it hasnt even started”

The Republicans have heart.

We’ll see what happens

[CedarDave]

Gosh, I have seen you post this SO many times. Maybe YOUR first criteria is religion, but it’s NOT that way for the majority of Republicans, nor the majority of Americans either. And, maybe these people don’t pass YOUR criteria for who is a Christian and who is not, but ultimately that is up to G-d — NOT FOR YOU TO DECIDE!

Frankly, Huckabee wearing his faith on his sleeve is a liability for the GOP in a general election, and a liability for our COUNTRY in the state the world is in right now. It is also a liability for all Christians if he turns out to be as two-faced as he seems...

I don’t think many here appreciate your take on these things, really. I know I don’t and I consider myself a Proud Christian! I could care less whether you consider me one or not. We are not selecting a leader of our church, we are selecting a leader for our country. The more you tout religion the more you fall into the stereotype of the MSM and the LEFT, and that doesn’t translate well to the rest of the world.

Why not support a true CONSERVATIVE on political issues and leave theology out of it?

Excellent post -- agree completely and bears repeating.

Did you ever meet the man?

Did you hear him in person?

Did you read any significant amount of his writings?

Did you listen to more than an hour of his debates or talks?

Or

did you only read disinformation about him?

[Tennessee Nana]

That’s a scary story there... A child [Huckabee’s son] who tortures an animal has serious problems, and most of the time those problems can be traced back to their parent(s). Very odd, and that he would try to cover it up by firing someone just point to more problems, IMO.

I wonder if this has caught Mark Levin’s attention yet?

No doubt about that. We really got whipped tonight, though, there can be no denying that.

It shows that we did nor or could not campaign in Iowa.

Of course, I credit the MSM for the big blackout and also clever chameleons for co-opting the "tough on illegal aliens" issue, albeit they will hold this positions just long enough to get them the nomination.

My only consolation of the night was that Hilary had to eat crow.

[Kevmo]

I do not know DH’s strategy.

However, he may yet surprise us even before New Hampshire. Because he has campaigned in Wyoming, which has a race before New Hampshire, and no one else is campaigning there.

Then there’s New Hampshire.

[MinuteGal]

Yours is the FR post of the year!

You said it all. I've also had it RIGHT UP TO HERE with the religious issues, the sect issues, the abortion issues, the holier-than-thou issuers.....they are wrecking our party.......and are a staggering cross to bear.

[DogandPonyShow]

I don’t think any of those three would be hard to beat.

[keepitreal]

LOL. Shep made Huck speechless. Guess he couldn’t come up with some half-truth fast enough.

[La Enchiladita]

Okay, I won’t be scared of course, because I do pray. I just feel a strong warning re Obama, especially with Oprah backing him.

But Oprah is not God, even though she thinks she is. Only God is God.

[katykelly]

Rush was on Fox? I was watching football. Just trying to catch up.

[LibertyRocks]

I agree with your thoughts on this... Huckabee plays into ALL the stereotypes of the MSM and the Left in regards to the GOP. Very, very sad...

Judy Annie on now, Spinning

WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!
