So your theory boils down to good-old-boy networks, pigs, and lipstick...

LOL Yea, kind of. The key is to block the Rockefeller types from continuing with Bush III. I have to do some more research on Huckabee. If he is reliably pro-life, pro-gun and anti gay agenda that's a good place to start. I heard Newt has started advising him. Newt has been a little flaky on some issues lately, but he does have a head on his shoulders. In general what I have observed is that Huckabee knows he doesn't know everything and finds the appropriate experts to help.

At this point, my only apparent option is to write in Duncan L. Hunter in the primary. Many of us have been getting beaten daily on FR with a hammer labeled "Fred!", but I do believe that a man who is open about his faith and has military experience fits the bill far better. Hunter satisfied both criteria, Huckabee only one. However, if Hunter gives Huck the thumbs-up with an endorsement, that may be enough to sway me - esp. if the prospect of a Hunter in the next administration looked bright.

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years' 'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage
