RUSH: You can love your guy. Just don't call him conservative.
Identity Politics and the Hucksters

Awaiting her coronation, Hillary Rodham Clinton instead faced a seething revolt within her own party. More than 70% of Iowa Democrats rejected her....after 15 years of domination, the Clinton dynasty has finally lost its grip on the Party. What's devastating to her is that she lost so badly to a political novice. The problem with caressing the jewels of the crown before the coronation is that it's embarrassing when it turns out that the coronation goes to someone else. Clinton's invincibility has turned into inadequacy.

Huckabee is more William Jennings Bryant than he is Ronald Reagan (or Rush Limbaugh).
Thus, the Huckabee base is limited and probably can't achieve a majority in the GOP. However, populism is directly opposed to conservatism when it comes to the issues of a.) governmental power and influence and b.) class warfare.
Consequently, it's a minority that can do some damage.
Hehehehe...yeah it is, so take a Zanx and chill! :)
geez- the rats are deserting this sinking ship REAL fast
He is eloquent, likeable and classy, and his soaring rhetoric is JFK-esque. If I happen to be walking by the TV and he's on, I stop and listen. Unfortunately, all I hear is fluff and empty platitudes. There's no "there" there - just an attractive package with ultra-liberal ideology.
“Huckabee another (dope) from Arkansas, who uses religion like a snake-oil salesman.”
Excellent description!! What is it about that state that produces such morally bankrupt politicians who make it onto the national stage?? Lord save us from another presidential candidate from Arkansas!!
Huck uses religion like a snake oil salesman and the msm are quiet as churchmice. YET, when our President even hints that he is a Christian, hades opens her doors and rains brimstone on him. I think there’s a difference here...I haven’t figured it out yet.
Perceptive comment.
Heheh——lusting after high office does terrible things to a person.
“Hillary, your loss doesn’t look to good for The Clinton Legacy.” Kiss my A$$ Bill !!
CLINTONFATIGUED
It was inevitable that eventually people would become tired of seeing that gray fuzzy-haired Brillo pad with the W.C. Fields nose scanning the audience with seedy lecherous eyes for poontang.
But why so long?
Husain and Edwards had better spend a lot of extra money wacthing out for themselves, their families and their pets. Accidents and suicides just seem to happen when people appear to threaten the Clintonistas.
Exactly right...
NEVER count out the Clintons until the last rug has been rolled.
I believe you are correct AP...Obama, even with the deep pockets of Oprah behind him, is first on the Clintonista ‘List.’ Edwards is just fluff and will be easily dispatched...but they need to ruin Obama quickly to stave off futher humiliation.
Everyone is voting “change”. Change from what to what? From capitalism to socialism? From freedom to tyranny? It seems to me that though everything is not well in this country, it could get a lot worse with the wrong type of changes. People need to ask, “What do you want to change and how do you propose to make these changes? Who loses what in these changes and who gains what with these changes?” You want the troops home regardless of the fact we are now winning in Iraq? Then we’ll change from fighting them in Iraq to fighting them here on our soil. So be it. You’ll have change. You bought too much house with an adjustable mortgage. Maybe you want change so the government can bail you out of your bad decision. Is that the kind of change you want? Good business decisions usually bring good results. Think about it. Why not buy the size house you can actually afford five years down the road. You need to find out what kind of changes these men and woman (God help us) are talking about. So far, I have heard NO specifics. Believe me folks, change can be far worse than we have it now.
Hillary doesn’t play well to women period. My wife and daughter despise her lack of character by not getting rid of her womanizing husband after he humiliated her in public, not just with Monica but with Paula Jones and many others. Her complicity and willingness to tolerate this behavior because of her personal ambition are viewed as weakness.
ha! when I read that ole Bill wasn’t looking too good, my first thought also was... rut rho... here comes the sacrificial ox to queen hillary
Undoubtedly that thought has occurred to her!
But Hillary won't off Bill, much as she might be tempted to, because too many of her core supporters base their votes on the promise that a Hillary win puts Bill back in the White House. So having Bill as a husband cuts both ways for her.
More likely she'll fabricate something else as a sympathy ploy. Maybe her mother will become suddenly "ill." Or Hillary herself might have a breast cancer "scare."
