That is total BS. It is entirely possible to provide the needed services and reduce the size, scope and cost of Govt. Hucky here seems to have drank the Leftist kook aid. He certainly does not grasp that enslaving people to a substance level life subject to the whimsies of govt bureaucracies is NOT showing compassion for them.
It’s not just the Huckster Elmer Gantry whom has damaged Republicanism and conservatism for 2008. It’s his gullible minions and followers and the politically unprincipled and unaligned movements of the “Values Voters”, “Social-Conservatives”, the Evangelicals, and the Monomaniacal Single-Issue Anti-Abortion Party.
These folks were brought into the conservative movement 40 years ago with the naive and strained logic that conservatives and Religionists shared some kind of underlying motive related to liberty and freedom and the role of government.
Turns out (as Barry Goldwater then predicted), the Religionsists have virtually destroyed the GOP, and conservatism is next to go (if not already gone).
A book could be written about this, but it’s time for those who care to focus on this Elephant In The Living Room and to stop worrying about the ineffectual and artless RINOs. The damage they’ve done and can do is just a fraction of what’s been done by Social Conservatives, Values Voters, Evangelicals, and the Huckster Elmer Gantry supporters.
This guy is only just figuring out that Huckster ought to be kicked out so he can find his proper home amongst the ‘Rats?
If Sullivan and his bedwarming buddies thought Romney was going to be VP he'd be telling us some other piece of misrepresented BS about one of Romney's speeches.
Best bet for those who post "news" from Sullivan is to first report on Sullivan's motives, and not on the supposed content. Remember, Sullivan is "content free" - it's all about what his masters want him to say to serve their interests.
Except for the 2A and Abortion, Huckabee sounds like a socialist. It makes me question whether his 2A and pro-life views are foundational views or just cover for his left wing positions.
From my perspective as a conservative Christian, DC corrupted the national Christian leadership, not the other way around. Our pulpits have largely been silent in response. And most Christians do not seem to have a proper understanding of the Biblical role of civil government, which is consistent with limited government, not with the federal leviathan.
Suckapee is a pig. I can barley stomach McCain. I don’t think I could’ve voted for Huckaduck, even to stop OsmamaObama.
