Countdown to Iowa: Let loose the testosterone!
So much for kinder, gentler campaigning in Iowa. It’s Macho Man time.
Huckabee guru Ed Rollins wants to knock out Mitt Romney’s teeth.
Huckabee Hollywood pal Chuck Norris wants to choke the Romney people (via Allah):
At first, Mr. Norris’s anger seemed directed at the press or pundits, but then the action-film star lit into Mr. Romney for describing Mr. Huckabee as a preacher. “Get off of it. I don’t know how long Romney’s been governor, but I’m sure he’s been governor as long as Romney has,” Mr. Norris said.
After a blogger suggested that the actor and martial-arts aficionado deliver a “roundhouse kick” to Mr. Romney, Mr. Norris replied, “I don’t roundhouse kick. I choke. … I’d just like to choke those guys out.
Meanwhile, Silky Pony is trying to strut his macho stuff–a spectacle that has Phil Klein at The American Spectator (and most sane Iowans, I imagine) giggling:
EDWARDS’S PUGILISTIC populism (which John Tabin captured brilliantly last week) is an absurd spectacle to witness in person. I’ve never heard so much macho talk coming from an adult since I used to watch the WWF as a kid.
His closing argument is that, “I will fight for you with every fiber of my being,” and he spent the speech explaining why we needed a fighter, why he is itching for a fight, and why he can kick the butts of corporations because his father taught him to stand up to street toughs when he was a young boy. (I kid you not.)
During his speech, he recounted the story of a 17-year-old girl who died because her insurance company resisted approving payment for a liver transplant. “And people say to me, that what I’m supposed to do as your president, is to sit at a table, and negotiate with those people?” he asked indignantly.
“Let me say this very clearly: Never! It will NEVER happen when I am President of the United States!”
His heroic intransigence is especially silly coming from a man who wants to reengage with Iran and North Korea. So, if you’re a communist country that runs gulags and starves millions of its own people, a leading state sponsor of terrorism, a nation that threatens to wipe Israel off the map, vows “Death to America,” and supplies Iraqi insurgents weapons used to kill American soldiers, Edwards wants to chat. But meeting with an insurance executive is simply beyond the pale.
Next up: Denny K will bench-press his wife for the cameras!

The only credible a$$-kicking ticket that would strike fear around the world:
Thompson/Bolton’s Mustache ‘08!
The best theme the Republicans had in 2000 was “Time for the Adults to take charge.” We can thank the Democrats for reminding the nation why they voted for Republicans in the first place. Now please let everyone try not to to much spectacularly foolish while the Democrats are busy making themselves look like idiots.
Personally, I’d like to see all the spouses going at it cuz bill would get his behind kicked…
Waiting for Shrillary to out-macho them. After all, she’s the “smartest,” why not the “manliest”?
Chuck Norris in “Code of Silence” 1985
‘When I want your opinion, I’ll beat it out of you…
Duck Romney LOL
Please! I may want to eat in the next two days.
Edwards? Macho? Has that face ever seen a razor yet?
Just trying to help you keep your New Year’s Resolutions.
Sponsored by the DNC. A prelude to Foreign Policy in the Middle East. If this doesn’t get Iran to give up their nukes I don’t know what can.
I still can’t believe that the best that the Party of Ronald Reagan can muster is Huckabee or Romney. Empty head vs empty suit, as far as I can see.
#10…..Fred is still in there. He’s the best for our party.
That’s not very “Christian” of the Huckabee campaign is it?
Considering what I’ve heard all of them SAY, and then DO, I seriously doubt you’ll find enough to add up to a single ball.
“Bad, bad, Leroy Pony…”
Regarding Edwards, I was thinking more about a quote from Joe Pesci in the Rodney Dangerfield classic Easy Money,
“Get away from me you half-a-sissy before I give you a good slap.”
LOL – What testosterone?
Democrats have always liked the idea of talking tough but they have never been tough. It’s hard to be tough when you pander to every group imaginable and have to get clearance from politically correct police before you do anything. I’d argue the only thing they are genuinely tough on is George W. Bush but that’s in word only because he’s kicked their ass on just about everything in 2007. Wimp Harry and San Fran Palosi probably spent more time in therapy talking about how badly GW and the Republicas treated them than they did working on anything for the country. They are king and queen of the Dems Do Nothing Congress.
There only one resolution to this:
THUNDERDOME!!!
Gibson/Turner ‘08!
MM, when you wrote “let loose the testosterone” I hope you didn’t include Hillary!
I’m telling you, these Republicans are making Paul look better than better
So which candidate is the phoniest- Clinton, Edwards or Huckabee?
Which is biggest liar?
Where does Chuck Norris rank in this pantheon of distinguished albeit rather stiff thespians- Hillary, Norris, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Seagal or Jean Claude VanDamme?
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war – I say this after seeing some of the latest Hillary pics.
No kidding Soap, they’re about as macho as the guy’s? in the video. The village people vid was good for an a.m. chuckle though.
Timothy S. Carlson, did you live in Rockford, IL. when you were a kid on Duncan ave?
Nope, sorry. Near Philadelphia.
Oh well. Thought you were someone I knew long ago.
#19
Hillary has more testosterone that Obama, Edwards,
Biden, Dodd and Kucinich put together. Has anyone
looked closely for an adam’s apple?
This is not the brightest hour for Republicans. Rather depressing actually.
As for the Dems, not unexpected. Edwards isn’t half the man Hillary is.
Democrats frequently use their “fight” rhetoric when speaking to their base. But they are not talking about fighting with Amercas enemies, rather other Americans: Republicans, large corporations, Wall Street, Christian conservatives, gun owners, insurance companies, oil industry, etc… This is a party at war with a very large portion of America.
Who asked Edwards to negotiate with insurance providers?
I don’t remember making that request; don’t really remember the request for him to get on the phone with Musharraf after Bhutto’s murder either…
Edwards reminds me of the guy at some party who injects himself into the center of a conversation to create a sense that he ‘matters’.
I wish Barry Goldwater were still alive.
My Vegas money is on chuck norris for the choke out. As far as the wives fighting, we’re just lucky Goracle is not in the race. The candidates are also lucky Condi is sitting this one out, I think she could knock out silky in the first round!!!!!!
Gee, I’m afraid the infomerical king might choke us all! And dentures, invest in dentures.
Standard campaign speech. “My opponent is a Washington insider. I will fight for you.”
Maybe we should go to cage matches to determine who gets to run for any public office. In the Democrat race I believe “she who must not be named” would kick the day lights out of the rest of the field. After all she is the smartest woman in the world with the proven track record of constantly cheating death in spiral landings to war torn countries dodging snipers and assassins at every turn, a true American action hero (in her own mind).
I just heard HRC on MSNBC videos Hillary’s Laugh Gaffe…she was saying, “and
what in my background gives me the ability to deal with evil and bad men?”
She could not keep a straight face and neither could all of the people around
her.
I’m thinking Slick Willy. Anyone else think the same thing?
Until you factor in Ron Paul thinks 19 thugs flew planes into the WTC buildings. Then you are snapped back into reality – if you have a brain.
Arthur C. Clarke once said that the person we choose for president should be
the person most qualified that wants it the least. He should be carried kicking
and screaming to the White House and, if he does a good job, at the end of his
term(s) let out for good behavior. (He did not say what to do if he did not do a
good job)>
Never thought much of Chuck Norris anyway. He made the same movie 16 times and it now looks like he’s Huckabee’s bully.
Hillary maybe menopausal but exuding testosterene? I don’t think she is that much of a man yet, although among the Democrats she is the closet they have.
You guys can’t wait…can’t you?
can you?
*puke
Thanks 30. Brain bleach stat!
Soap – understand Silky is teaching her to shave
Silky shaves his legs????
There is something I could have lived without knowing!
Hey everybody Senator Grahamnesty has posted at Redstate his desire for you all to vote for McCain….go tell him what you think.

As the unpaid researcher for MM.com and HA.com, let me add something to Mr. Rollin’s resume. Right after Christie Todd Whitman was elected governor of New Jersey, Rollins was in the midst of taking credit for the win when he couldn’t resist tossing out this Clintonian size tall tale. He said he passed around the dough to the “Black preachers” and ministers and churches and kept the African-American vote total down. In addition to the utterly unethical and cynical nature of his claim, it was pure baloney. It was absolutely amazing. Rollins fessed up to unethical, cynical, possibly racist and just possibly illegal conduct, and he was making it all up. What person in his right mind would fess up to behavior that makes him look like a total fool and on top of that, the stuff he fesses up to is complete fiction? If Huckabee wants this clown on his payroll, Huckabee should be asked about Rollin’s silly behavior. Rollins worked on the Perot campaign in 1992 for about two weeks. What does that say about both Perot and Rollins? Well, maybe those two kooks deserve each other.
I feel like a one person research company.
Village of the Damned? Children of the Corn? Hillary wants your first born.

Soap:
“Until you factor in Ron Paul thinks 19 thugs flew planes into the WTC buildings. Then you are snapped back into reality – if you have a brain.”
What in the world is going on when people actually take Ron Paul seriously? I can’t believe there really are Republicans/Conservatives who are in that camp. Just because he is willing to speak his mind (what little there is of it)????
Stop!!!! with the Ron Paul nonsense!!!! He is a complete wingnut and doesn’t have a grasp on reality! Please!!!!!
Wish I knew hatelibs – wish I knew.
Soap:
Could it be people on the left promoting this guy along with Huckabee? Any Dempcrap with a brain knows their candidates are not qualified and very flawed so maybe destroying the Republicans from the inside out is a viable strategy. Paul can’t win, would keep the base home, is a laughing stock, and just a total embarrasment (like Kusinich). Huckabee would be easy pickins/toast in the general election.
That’s the only answer I can come up with.
HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL!!!
Stranger things have happened!!
GO FRED!!!
At my age I hate to see such a waste of testoserone when I so badly need it!
Let them self destruct and we will clean it up with something—Hillary’s wig?
Let loose? Who has been holding it in?
The Best Republican Presidential Candidate for 2008
Former Senator Fred Thompson is the only real conservative in the race for the Republican nomination, and the only candidate who can unite all three pillars of the Republican Party, namely, fiscal conservatives; national security and defense conservatives; and religious conservatives.
The Republican party, given that the nation is divided, cannot afford to alienate any of these pillars, or they will lose in the general election, as a sufficient number of the alienated pillar’s constituents will simply not cast a vote for president when they vote. This is not an attempt to intimidate Republican voters, but merely a recognition that there are certain conservative voters who simply will not violate their own principles and vote for someone they have fundamental disagreements with, or do not trust. For example, Governor Romney, has not provided a satisfactory answer in the minds of many religious conservatives in his efforts to explain the change from pro-choice to pro-life. They want to know the motivation, and need to be convinced that it was not political. This matter remains unresolved, and thus alienates a proportion of religious conservatives who would otherwise support him as the party’s nominee – regardless of his own religious persuasion. Mayor Guiliani also has a similar problem with religious conservatives, given his personal position on abortion; and promising to appoint strict constructionist judges will not vitiate the conflict with pro-life constituents. Religious conservatives will not vote for a pro-choice Republican nominee – even if it means electing Senator Clinton president. They will not violate a moral conviction. They will simply adopt the attitude – God’s will be done, and maintain their conviction. Governor Huckabee alienates fiscal conservatives as a result of his tax and spend policies during his tenure in Arkansas. Senator McCain, terminally severed his relationship with a proportion of national security conservatives through his aggressive support of the proposed comprehensive immigration agreement, which failed as a result of a citizens’ uprising against this legislation; his opposition to the tax cut policy of the Bush Administration; and his opposition to aggressive interrogation techniques on high value captured terrorists.
Senator Thompson has none of the foregoing problems. Read why at:

A waste of testosterone? How about a waste of time and money for a handful of votes.
Boy, will I be glad when this vote is over. You would think it was the election! All other news is secondary. Meanwhile, while the world is in turmoil, we want to know about their healthcare and “lead in toys” plans.
Hatelibs,
What do you have against black transvestites? If Rupaul wants to offer opinions about 9/11, let his words flow like H20 off a rubber duckie’s backside.
Besides, I disagree on the whole hating liberals thing. Without them, who could we conduct controlled experiments on?
Little do they know the cure for their Bush Derangement Syndrome was a placebo.

Silky, Silky, Silky. It does not work for you.
You have hands, eyelashes and hair most women would covet. What are you going to do, work up the courage to scratch someone’s eyes out?
His Daddy taught him to stand up to street toughs? Gimmie a break! Either he had his ass kicked on an hourly basis or he “stood up to them” by becoming their bitch. John Edwards – Iran’s Bitch in Waiting.
Did he get Jack LaLanne’s endorsement!
As for Hillary, have you seen those ads? It looks like she hired a mortician to do her makeup.
Hey, what do you expect from a paper tiger like Edwards?
Thanks for the Village People video and the embedded irony.
I have to ask, does anyone besides Matt Drudge really give a flying rat’s anus about political caucuses right now? I sure don’t. It’s way too early.
Enjoyed reading your thoughts, again, JimM. This running for president is hard
one HRC. Everyday she looks more and more like hammered something in the
barnyard and BO and Johnny actually look better. I have a t shirt that I can let
HRC have, which says, “Don’t make me get my flying monkeys!”
PLEASE BE AWARE! Fred Thompson is not dropping out of the race after Iowa.
It’s a complete fabrication that was firmly denied by Fred himself yesterday, 1/2/08. Dirty 11th-hour politics at its finest. Thanks.
LET THE VOTING FRAUD BEGIN!!! I said it before and it calls for repeating – there will be more dead people, more felons, and more illegal immigrants voting than we have ever witnessed in political history. The Dems will ensure they “get the vote out” and something tells me Hillary will benefit most.
Has anybody pointed out that the reason insurance companies are making medical calls is that the government transferred that power to them via their ham-handed health care “reforms,” fought for by quasi-socialist pinheads like Edwards?
What health care needs most is for guys like Edward to butt out, for the government to butt out, and let the market work its magic with direct payments from patient to doctor, the individual patient determining his/her own health care plan, if any, and carrying it with him/her from job to job.
Hospitals will find it hard to charge patients $20 for a bandaid when the patients are paying the bills directly. However, you can be sure that there will be plenty of twenty buck bandaids in any plan a shyster trial lawyer like Edwards cooks up.
