Shades of Hillary's VRWC . . .

Mike Huckabee went on Morning Joe today and toyed with suggesting a "conspiracy" composed of the "Washington power circles" was out to get him. At 7:41 AM ET, the former Arkansas governor was discussing his efforts in South Carolina with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

Sheesh...uh...let me see...Think I’ll vote for Thompson...but oh no!!!...The news on TV says Thompson has no chance...guess I’ll vote for the Huckster...why??..I don’t know...so I guess it was the latter...you actually are an idiot...sheesh...

“Then he hired Jim Pinkerton, the gay Republican and Log Cabin activist.”

Hmmmmmm Got a link on that. I’d like to publicize that one more.

"I prefer to vote for a conservative; at least I can say I tried. Hunter or Thompson would work for me. We’ve only had 4 states vote - there’s a long way to go yet until the annointment."

The media will narrow it down again...you wait and see. I'm telling you, they think they own this country.

I like Brian Kilmeade. He’s conservative, cute and fun.

[nmh]

I think so too

Mitt/Fred ticket would be a good one and satisfy allot of folks.

[Earthdweller]

Buzz off!

Pinkerton gay?

He doesn’t seem like a gay guy to me.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

“Mika, I bet you never did this,” Huckabee went on, addressing Mika Brzezinski. “When I was in college, we used to take a popcorn popper, because that was the only thing they would let us use in the dorm, and we would fry squirrels in a popcorn popper in the dorm room.”

This is really going to endear you to the voters, Huck. Let me guess... If family traditions mean anything, you were frying them alive, right?

[Getsmart64]

Oh come on. I don't think the GOP has moved that far off its moorings.

According to the MSM...and Fox news for those that think they aren't part of the MSM...conservatism is dead...is it??...I ask YOU Unspun...is conservatism dead???...Is it???

It’s only too late for Fred if his so-called followers give up and cede to the MSM.

Compassion should not be legislated. It’s a matter between you, your conscience, and God.

When you bring so-called caring into the legislative realm, then you are talking about government-sanctioned stealing from one to give to another all in the name of “compassion”.

You would do well to read the wisdom of Davy Crockett on government handouts:

Maybe...but the Huck ain’t going to give you a reach around...

[altura]

Depending on where you live, you may not get a chance to vote for Huckabee... he may be gone.

As the country song says,

Thank God and Greyhound he’s gone.

And anyone who could fry up squirrel in a popcorn cooker could ride Greyhound.

(I doubt if he’s ever done either)

Are there any freepers out there who support huckabee besides myself?

[Miss Didi]

Me, too. Must be a gal thing.

[tips up]

The Dem options are too dangerous. I’ll vote GOP even if I have to hold my nose.

Taxes, SCOTUS nominees, war on terror, etc. Too much to entrust to a Dem. I’ll roll the dice with the GOP nominee even if they are not the best nominee.

[Yaelle]

Seriously, I became turned off of Huckabee first for his record, second for the lies he’s been caught in (which are illogical lies reminiscent of Clinton's, and third for his nastiness, which I don't really like in my President. He's very nicey-appearing and he knows how to talk. But there is something bubbling under the surface: I can tell he is just not genuine. I think as people become acquainted with him, they feel it.

[Yaelle]

Great post; that says it all.

"Depending on where you live, you may not get a chance to vote for Huckabee... he may be gone."

True.

[N3WBI3]

Nope, Im done giving the GOP mulligans they dont learn that way. I can hold my nose for *anyone* but Trudy or Willard. Hell I might even be able to vote Paul because as crazy as he can be at least congress (no matter who was in charge) would keep him in check.

Im pretty easy to make happy just dont put The two northeastern social liberals on the ticket and Ill pull the gop lever this year..
