“Huckabee made a responding negative ad but then decided not to show it. “ Oh please. He showed it to the press and did get it run a lot more than if he *had* bought it. That was so transparently a “we need to attack Romney but we want to do it on the cheap” ploy practically no insider fell for it ... yet it probably worked because bumpkins have a false believe that the slick Huckster actually is an
Huckabee has been to most dishonest and least ethical candidate in the race. Rollins on his crew? His push-polling. His false evasions on his record as Governor. His sly ‘offhand’ comment to NYT. The constant “I’m a Christian” theme to troll for the identity/bigot voters, all the while claiming to take a ‘high road’ that he had no right to claim.
Sour grapes? More like umbrage that Iowa voters fell for the PT Barnum circus act.
“So in addition to the guys like me that wont vote for a Mormon for President because I think Mormonism is a cult and a terrible twisting of the truth”
... stop right there. that’s an awful terrible and prejudiced reason to vote against someone. To defend that way of thinking is to defend stupidity. The result of that stupid thinking is a CLUSTERHUCK, the worst candidate who happens to be a tax-and-spend populist but is the most “most Christian” wins. As a result of this thinking, the Reagan coalition falls apart and a RINO or Democrat gets elected. Bravo, I hope the death of Reagan conservatism was worth keeping a Mormon out of the White House.
Yah. Huckabee didn’t show the ad. You never saw it. I never saw it. The people of Iowa didn’t see it. But hey, people that think he pulled the ad are rubes.
I call some of Romney’s LDS supporters pouting about the loss “sour grapes” . . . you call it “umbrage.” At least we can agree in principle if not in terminology.
And if you think it’s stupid to oppose Mormonism, a false religion and one that declares Christianity a lie, I’m proud to be called stupid by you. I guess us stupid folk just can’t figure our way to voting for a flip-flopping, homosexual agenda supporting, plastic man like Romney. It really would take a brilliant mind to figure out a reason to support a man like that so you could be right.
