No I didn’t. I can’t go to many sites that are posted here that are link only or excerpted articles. Fox and msnbc are the worse. They’re loaded with graphics on their home pages.

Arrrgggghhhhh!

Every time I think that man couldn’t do more to remind me of Clinton....he pulls something like that.

Looks like he runs like my mother.

As Fred Thompson makes his final push in South Carolina, his opponents have stepped up their anti-Thompson rhetoric.

This is the most significant sign that Freddy has a few people scared.

MSNBC inside the Huckabee campaign just said “you can smell the fear in the Huckabee campaign....”

I’m pretty sure the GOP will carry Utah regardless. Utah is perhaps the most coservative state in the whole country.

If Utah comes into play, the GOP is officially dead!

[Fudd Fan]

“all fours”?

You truly are disgusting.

[Fudd Fan]

WHEW!

[STARWISE]

The Common Sense Foundation (which fact isn't showing up in searching), but but which I have a suspicion MAY be connected to Bill Moyers, is the org doing the push polling against Thompson and the other guy.

Huckabee criticized over groups' calls

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee had a popular wrestler and a TV and martial-arts star campaigning with him in South Carolina on Thursday, while his GOP rivals accused him of hitting below the belt.

With the state's Republican presidential primary on Saturday, the campaign grew nasty as former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee and Arizona Sen. John McCain accused Huckabee's campaign of conducting push polls -- calls disguised as polls that are intended to spread false information about a candidate's opponents.

Thompson charged that a group with links to Huckabee called the Common Sense Foundation was making calls and distorting his record on abortion. Thompson is anti-abortion.

McCain's campaign said Wednesday that it, too, has been the target of abortion push-poll calls by a group called Common Sense Issues, which performed calls on Huckabee's behalf in Iowa. When asked about the push-poll charges, the Huckabee campaign directed reporters to a news release on its Web site that was posted Wednesday.

"As I've said before, our campaign has nothing to do with push polling, and I wish they would stop," Huckabee said in the release."

Also, I think Ed Rollins is a pretty dirty, no holds barred campaign lead. I can see Huck telling him: do what you do .. just don't tell me.

Not what I wanted to hear.

Sheesh. Will we be treated to another McCain READING his victory speech?!

Go to “Tools” in your toolbar.

Choose “Options”.

For my browser I choose “Content” , and there’s a box that you just unclick that says “Load images automatically”.

From then on, you can manually load only the images you want loaded.

Crap like that is why I would never, never, ever vote for huckster. He’s just another lying scummy creep from Hope, AR. Huck may have been a preacher but he sure isn’t a Christian. Remember, Jim Baker was a preacher too..LOL

[Jane Austen]

Yes, that’s the one. Cindy appeared helping him down the stairs. Later McCain appeared unsteady on his feet. He has the creepiest smile.

Take about irony. Fox and msnbc declare Romney the winner in Nevada.

[Cedric]

You are nice.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ll do that now. :)

[Fudd Fan]

Exactly.

Ed Rollins was run out of New Jersey on a rail after pulling questionable (at the very least) stuff when he worked for the Christie Whitman campaign. When you’re too sleazy for NJ politics, there’s no hope.

Pic’s don’t slow mine that much but videos would take forever to load.

Yes, I know how to block graphics.

Ignorance is bliss...
