Spmeone should call him or Email him....

He reads FR and was pinged. I was looking forward to hearing him this evening, but he came down suddenly with the flu and had a last minute replacement.

If there is any way for our HERO, Duncan Hunter, to get into the NH debate, I would be all for it. We have to keep pushing regardless. The man still charges into battle, so I will follow right behind with all the firepower I can muster against enemy lines.

I think Iowa is more or less an aberration for Huckabee just the same. Now is the time to really form a true conservative wedge against that moron.

1546 of 1781 Precincts Reporting - 87%
Name Party Votes Vote %

Huckabee, Mike GOP 35,621 34%
Romney, Mitt GOP 26,524 25%
Thompson, Fred GOP 13,932 13%
McCain, John GOP 13,693 13%
Paul, Ron GOP 10,184 10%
Giuliani, Rudy GOP 3,613 3%
Hunter, Duncan GOP 458 0%
Tancredo, Tom GOP 3 0%

FWIW,

Romney has to win in his backyard in NH or he is out.

Thompson and McCain barely beat Ron Paul. Ron Paul has more money than everybody except Hillary and Romney. Thompson and McCain have to place 1 or 2 in NH or they are out due to lack of funds. Giuliani did amazingly bad and really has to ramp it up fast. He too needs a 1 or 2 finish in NH.

NH is going to be very interesting as to whom can hold out until February.

I take offense to your catholic smear.

(don’t like Huckabee and I’m CATHOLIC) Take your ignorance elsewhere.

You didn't say it, no reason for you to apologize. What upset me is not the Iowa situation - we never expected to do well in Iowa - but more that it was a continuation of a general tone of sarcasm and disrespect. Huckabee, while I believe his foreign policy is abysmal and his immigration policy highly questionable, gets the crap beat out of him on a daily basis here. It is merciless and, however right they may be, almost says more about his critics than him. I for one am satisfied that he beat Romney and beat him by a sound margin, despite being outspent 20:1.

At any rate the coalition will be needed later, so folks like the #46 poster are not doing the GOP cause any favors.

Does anyone get the feeling that all the voting that went on tonight was a vote for ‘none of the above’ ?...

I'd say so. We need to stop looking for Reagan, who was not nearly as good as he could have been. I think that a wonderful day may be coming or is at hand when most Americans merely tolerate the President instead of worshiping him.

For me, no King but Jesus, for whom there is no substitute, so don't fear a theocracy because there can be none until He returns.

Governor Huckabee reminds me of a man that was 2nd in command at the Christian College I attended. His favorite saying, plastered all over the school, his office, and in the sermons was borrowed from the President of the school: “It is never right to do wrong to do right.” This is a philosophy I try to keep in my Christian life, in spite of the man.

You might ask why in spite of the man? He went on a crusade while the President was out of the country, culling out those who did not fawn all over him. I could even have accepted that. When I had to file an unemployment claim against them in order to seek a job, they took it to a court hearing. The man lied like the snake in the Garden. The judge agreed with us as too much of his story did not pan out.

Mike Huckabee raised taxes 2:1 over what he cut with most of the burden falling on those he claims to represent. He intervened to keep his son from going to jail over hanging, stoning, and cutting the throat of a dog at Scout camp. He registered as a newlywed after years of marriage to subvert a state law and get furniture donated to him by lobbyists and cronies. He was found guilty of enough ethics violations to run a Conservative governor from an uncorrupt state out of office. The man’s testimony does not meet up with his message.

For the story of Walter Martin, read this:

http://farms.byu.edu/display.php?id=345&table=review

He is a pretender, a fake, and his literature is pathetic.
___________________________________________________________

Well according to your criteria for judging pretenders, fakes, and pathetic literatjure, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God who is God come in the flesh, is too, so Walter Martin is in good company
