Weird, isn’t it?

I'll spell out the whole thing, since you discovered the common thread of what Huckabee backers believe:

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Late Fred Mojo [Rich Lowry]

First Read also picked it up:

Final SC Thoughts: And with one of us on the ground in South Carolina, here are a few final thoughts on the GOP contest there: Thompson’s crowd yesterday of more than 400 anti-immigration, national security hardliners was fervent and he was animated, pacing back and forth on the stage gesturing forcefully and talking tough. He got “Amens” and “that’s rights” Perhaps his best performance yet? But one can’t help but feel that had he given his all and had he bought into the process, he could win this thing — which he probably won’t. Huck, playing guitar again, drew a smaller crowd than Fred (about 250 to 300) at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. And many on the ground are questioning the level of zeal here among evangelicals compared with Iowa. As for McCain, he’s going to get the veterans and coastal voters. It’s almost as if they’re on a mission. Maybe they even think something’s owed to him from 2000. This state will break three ways — the coast, Lexington County and the upstate. McCain solely campaigned at the coast yesterday, while Huckabee and Thompson campaigned in the same neighborhoods upstate.

Huckabee is going to win SC b/c he is going to do VERY well in three of the most populous and most conservative counties- Greenville, Spartanburg, and Lexington.

Romney can't even win the majority in a state where he's virtually the only one campaigning.

Hardly. You posted that Huckabee was for "the workin men." That is pure classist rhetoric unless you've been living in a cave for 120 years. When you got called on it, you said, "Oh, I really meant everybody." No sale...unless you have been living in a cave or trapped under very large rocks...

Nor is this an isolated instance. You have repeated class warfare statements on other posts, agreeing with Huckabee's statement on "Club for Greed" and other things. Do not spin it now as "simply being for everyone."

My prediction earlier this morning was:
Real Clear Politics New poll:
McCain	Huckabee Romney	Thompson Paul	Giuliani	
26.9	25.9	14.7	14.6	4.4	3.4

"I'm incredulous McCain is doing as well as he is here. I will predict Huck, McCain, Fred, Mitt, Rudy, and Paul. If I'm right, this will be a big blow to Fred's campaign. His only hope is that a lot of McCain and Huck voters change at the last minute to him and the undecideds (10%) break for him and he wins. That could happen. But I won't bet on it. "

I said this before I saw the results of the ARG poll and the poor weather. That'll hurt both Huck and McCain, I believe. I now, daringly, predict Fred for #2 and McCain for #3.

Amen to the RINO train of the last few elections. If Fred isn’t the nominee, I’m gonna be like 3/4’s of the rest of the country and live in political ignorance for the rest of the year. No “lesser of two evils” for me this year, if Fred is not the race, it’ll be the first Presidential election I sit out since I started voting in the 70’s.

Ya caught us, Depudy!

Working men and women are working men and women and when that is what they call themselves, that is what they believe they are, which is true.

Now, "upper class" is what some unfortunate souls call themselves and think of themselves, believing they are exhalted above others, which is a fallacy.
