I am informed that Dick Morris and Newt Gingrich are helping Huckabee behind the scenes. Morris has been everywhere today promoting Huckabee.
Huckster is not a conservative, and he is barely considered a Republican.
I don’t trust Morris. I certainly do not trust Gingrich.
It smells like forces are afoot to give us pro-life liberal who can be an agent of change. Agent of change being the operative code word.
Perhaps the GOP is tired of pretending to be the party of ANY conservatives. Maybe the GOP is tired of pretending it is not just a clone of the Democrats. Perhaps the goal is not electing a Republican, but the GOP wants a liberal, regardless of which party gets the win.
Between Ron Paul raising millions of dollars, and the Huckster getting all kinds of help from friends and “foes” alike, and a good man like Duncan Hunter getting no traction or recognition,to getting libs like Romney and Guiliani spouting conservative principles which are foreign to their record to date,to McCain now claiming he was never for amnesty, this whole campaign is starting to creep me out.
Plus I have a President who cannot seal the southern border, a Congress that betrays me by telling me they will build a fence and then defunding it, a Federal bureaucracy that defies Congress and is hell bent on continuing the Mexican truck driver project, and a foreign policy that wants to deal with terrorist states like Syria,Iran and North Korea, and betray allies like Israel—all this is not looking at the Bizarro World.
Things are not making any sense, and I see that something evil this way comes. In 1992, I could see the evil clearly coming from Bill Clinton. In 2008, I fear there is something sinister coming from the GOP itself.
God helps us if Fred Thompson is not our nominee. Everyone else will get trounced by any of the Dems candidates, because there won’t be ounce of difference between the two parties anymore.
You make a lot of sense. Your use of the term Bizzaro
World is true. Only I feel like we are now living in Bizzaro World, right here in River City.
Newt’s living in the green zone developing a more nanny-state approach to healthcare. Thanks for reminding me that I have to unsubscribe from his newsletter.
I like Dick Morris, but as a political pundit he is hardly Cassandra. I also like Newt, but it seems he is always trying to be a maverick as a pundit. How Newt though who was willing to shut down the Congress over the budget is willing to support someone that raised taxes is beyond me though.
Sure Huckabee is for the fair tax now, but his background doesn’t show this to be more than a political gambit.
I would like to like Gov. Huckabee considering his stands on pro-life and social issues. But he reminds me too much of Jimmy Carter another Southern Baptist who was pro-life and naive on foreign policy. I voted for Jimmy Carter (who made me a conservative) and I don’t want to make that mistake again.
“Morris hates Hillary.”
More importantly, Morris loves Morris. He would sell his soul for 20 hits to his website.
Why would Newt help upchuckabee?
VP perhaps?
Morris gives good advice, though he is a bit creepy. I’m waiting for Ed Rollins to sink the campaign. Rollins is an out-of-control blowhard, and at some point he’s going to shoot off his mouth and embarrass the Huckster badly. How this guy keeps getting hired, I’ll never figure out.
Also, think of how sales tax increases are sold to us. “Only a penny increase on each dollar you spend”. People think that sounds reasonable and the small increments really add up to a ton of hidden confiscation.
Just my opinion as I ponder thru the Fair Tax.
If he keeps beating on Hillary he will get the hits.
Well, character counts! Rollins, Morris and Gingrich.
Thats a large side of beef you have there.
Perhaps Fred wouldn’t be malleable in the hands of wannabe kingmakers.
I read on another thread that he is volunteering his services. Don’t know if that is true.
Are you serious?
Go Fred!
Great! Two failures with delusions of being puppet masters for a yokel.
I think you are right!
