Dude, Mike Huckabee lied in our faces about that cross in his ad. There was nothing wrong with a cross in his ad; he’s a Christian. Why did he have to lie about it? Admit it and be proud of it!
Mike Huckabee tried to protect his dog-torturing son by using his own position. He lied about how he lost all that weight, rather than admit to some kind of surgery and help other people go through it. And he supports illegal immigration or amnesty for all the illegals.
I am not sure we had the right conservatives in the race. I was for Fred Thompson, but he definitely didn’t have the fire in the belly after all. We have to make sure, next time, to get the right people out there and to control our primaries to only allow Republicans to vote in them.
You're on the mark. We didn't have the right conservatives in the 2008 race, which is why McCain wound up being the last man standing.
Fred was also my choice, but in my opinion, all that was off was his timing. He would have been fine, had he jumped in when the base was energized for him.
As it was, he delayed and delayed - losing precious campaign organizing time. Once he did step in, the overwhelm of the pace made him look "tired". He only started running when all of his opponents had already gathered speed.
And if I hear that phrase "fire in the belly" one more time, I think I'm gonna strangle the person who says it.
