		<description>I can&#039;t help but think should Huckabee be put out of the running for the GOP nomination, he will accept an offer to run as Hillary&#039;s VP, should the Democrats prove to hate this nation enough to actually give her the nod.</description>

I am POSITIVE that Ronpaul is slyly including all his donations from white supremacist militias in that total from &quot;the military&quot;.

Fox News also discounted the value of Ronpaul&#039;s polling numbers, too!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Huckabee/Jesus

Did I say Jesus? I meant Hunter or Tancredo. But I think those two would not stomach such a pairing.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

NEITHER WOULD JESUS!

This man would have the Good Samaritan making charity donations to the ROBBERS instead of to the poor beaten and robbed man - with his taxes on NURSING HOME BED OCCUPANCY of $5-6 DAILY, and banning medical care for smokers and the obese (if being &quot;obese&quot; is merely a willful selfish CHOICE, why hasn&#039;t he spoken to his own wife - who is obviously doing her very best - when he was busy grooming HIMSELF for this office, PHYSICALLY!!! ??????????  Whenever I see a man who spends more cash on himself than he does on his wife in matters of public appearance...he has told me everything there is to say about his attitude towards ANYONE but HIMSELF!)

OPEN BORDERS AND SLAVE REPARATIONS TO HOME INVADERS???? DEPENDING on ENTITLEMENT SEEKERS TO PROVIDE THE IMPETUS TO OVERTURN ROE V WADE (re his comments to TEENS at &quot;The Call&quot;, May 27, 2007)

No, I don&#039;t see any REFLECTION of the words and actions of JESUS in THIS &quot;Baptist Minister&quot;!!!!

Huckabee should heed Matthew 25. And Jesus&#039; admonition to the &quot;many&quot; who would say on that day, &quot;Lord, Lord, we did many mighty works in your Name!&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;Too little too late&quot; which if you have been watching is a &lt;strong&gt;constant refrain about Fred&lt;/strong&gt; in ALL the focus groups, is a complaint that a  man who isn&#039;t giving more energy to his CAMPAIGN is PROVING to the VOTERS that he doesn&#039;t have, or POSSESS the required basic amount of energy level for all that is required of a President, through the long haul and high job performance skills required.

 The job isn&#039;t like his Hollywood jobs - &quot;hurry up and wait&quot;.

It isn&#039;t just the lack of attention to the campaign - it is the lackluster interest he shows when he BOTHERS to show up.

Most people aren&#039;t digging into his background and are fooled about what he is doing IN THE RACE - drafting for McCain, his long-time butt buddy, &lt;strong&gt;for whom he managed his 2000 Presidential bid.&lt;/strong&gt;

They are ignoring warning signs like his own direct and SIGNIFICANT input into McCain-Feingold-THOMPSON,
 the vote that spared Bill Clinton from removal from office together with the chairmanship of the Senate Committee assigned to investigate the CHINESE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS to the CLINTON Campaign funds which he deliberately turned into a fiasco, to save the DIMS from embarrassment, AND A VERY GREAT DEAL MORE, 
including but not limited to his DEAD SILENCE on the SHAMNESTY BILL his best butt buddy co-authored with Toady Chappaquiddick Kennedy, AND HIS POINT BLANK STEADFAST REFUSAL TO ALLOW ANY NEWS HOST TO DRAW HIM INTO COMMENTS LAST SPRING ON THAT ISSUE, on the flimsiest and most self-serving of gross excuses - NO PATRIOT WOULD KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT WHEN THE NATION NEEDED HIS PATRIOTIC INFLUENCE  AND A CLEAR MESSAGE ON PRECISELY WHERE HE STOOD ON THE MATTER - how convenient to NOW voice his &quot;opinion&quot; when the nation has already made it perfectly clear where the ONLY VIABLE OPINION has been made CLEAR - FROM A FORMER PROSECUTING ATTORNEY??? I ain&#039;t buying that balderdash he was selling to Sean Hannity about WHY HE COULD NOT SPEAK ON THAT ISSUE LAST YEAR!

He has shown with such issues as Clinton&#039;s campaign tactics i.e. Chinese donations, PERJURY, &lt;strong&gt;HIS SLANDER OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS ON THE ISSUE OF PERJURY AND IMPEACHMENT&lt;/strong&gt;[Ann Coulter discusses] - AS A FORMER WATERGATE PROSECUTOR!!!!! - TORTE REFORM, MEGAN&#039;S LAW, MARRIAGE PROTECTION AMENDMENT, and many other JUDICIAL ISSUES that he is particularly UNFIT to have any influence over American government.

On a purely CONSTITUTIONAL matter.

As a Watergate prosecutor, a Howard Baker protege&#039;, and a character actor as a prosecutor on Law and Order - which is produced and primarily cast by Liberals, continually shows a highly Conservative message in order to maintain a strong audience level in AMERICA - this man is MOST UNIQUELY BLATANTLY displaying that he is most unfit of all to be charged with duties entailing the appointment of JUDGES to our Judicial branch, and in charge of deciding the CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES of CLEANING UP the Judicial debauchle we now have - IN A CONSTITUTIONAL MANNER.
i.e., in particular, his handling of the Committee that was charged to investigate the CHINESE DONATIONS to the Clinton campaign funds, his participation and LEADERSHIP in the authorship, and push in getting McCain-Feingold-THOMSPON passed, reasoning behind decisions for his stance on The Marriage Amendment, problems with McCain-Feingold-THOMPSON, Megan&#039;s Law, etc, etc, and the SHAMNESTY ISSUE.</description>

		<description>I STILL so don&#039;t get it when those who hate McCain have such love for Fred! It&#039;s like they are so fascinated with the CHARACTER on Law and Order, they don&#039;t KNOW who Fred, the guy behind the curtain, really is - they are voting for the strange wizard with the deep voice out front.

Of those most likely to be the next pull out - FRED - so he can throw his voters and support to McCain, in a VAIN ATTEMPT to save McCain&#039;s candidacy - since drafting for McCain is the only reason he is in this race!

Myself, wild horses could not drag me to vote for ANY ticket that contains ANY ONE of these guys in EITHER POSITION - NO MATTER WHAT:
McCain, Huckabee, Rudi, Fred, Sam Brownback, and or a number of other RINOS who would definitely increase the LEFT LEANING of these men and their work in DC.

I will only consider Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, AND POSSIBLY Mitt Romney MAYBE/not PROBABLY, of those who have officially been candidates.

I&#039;d love to vote for the likes of Oliver North, Franklin Graham, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin - who is too young, yet, maybe Tom McClintock, maybe Jim DeMint...Maybe David Limbaugh, maybe Michael Reagan...

BTW, have any of you guys received an e-mail titled &lt;strong&gt;&quot;WEAR BLUE&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;? If you have and have not yet opened it, among the thousands of &quot;chain-mail pass-alongs, &lt;strong&gt;OPEN THIS ONE!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>A Thompson/Hunter would rock and I could get excited about a Thompson/Jindal ticket.  But Mitt?  NO WAY!  I bought a ticket to Iowa to volunteer for Fred. And, prior to my first taste of front line politics, started out with a generally positive impression of Romney and probably would have felt good with a Thompson/Romney pairing.  However, the sleazy tactics and dishonest attacks I saw in Iowa were coming out of the Romney campaign (and Politico, but I can&#039;t say if that was directed from Mitt HQ).  If his campaign is dirty, then the man is dirty in my book.</description>

		<description>No way is Rudy out or near it. It seems that way to wonks like us, but the vast majority of the country is hearing this info like they normally do - as a mere footnote to their daily lives. Is Giuliani&#039;s political accumen up to the standard of his executive skill? That remains to be seen; he&#039;s playing the game as a hare when the turtles are the ones doing pretty well so far. But come Florida, if he does well, his entire situation changes. And it might - might - be an amazingly shrewd move. Huckabbe was big a week ago, now he&#039;s hugely diminished. McCain was written off a week ago, today he&#039;s the national frontrunner. No coronations are being bestowed by these initial primaries. Rudy didn&#039;t have a chance in these first couple of states. If he wins in those places that heavily favor him, then he&#039;s way out ahead of everyone again. If he loses, it doesn&#039;t nmatter anyway because he wouldn&#039;t have carried these states. That&#039;s the kind of practical thinking I personally admire, though it takes guts to play the game like that, and forge ahead during the opening moments of the glamor show. The key is how much momentum the candidates are getting from the general public in this very early stage. It looks like alot to us because we&#039;re all watching this like the Super Bowl. But Huckabees reversal and Romney potentially sinking fast as well as McCain&#039;s surge shows this is as fluid as a river. One big win and it becomes McCain vs Giuliani - where before Rudy&#039;s closest rival was Romney.

I can&#039;t say much for Paul&#039;s chances, but everyone else is firmly in the game, even Fred, though Romney is starting to lose his must-wins at the bginning of the game, and so things are beginning to look a little dispiriting for him.

Rudy, McCain, Huckabee, Fred and Romney are all still at least 80% in the gamer, and that&#039;s easily enough for any one of them to wind up being the nominee.</description>

With all due respect, that&#039;s what we &lt;em&gt;like&lt;/em&gt; about teh Fred! You want someone who wants to be President so bad you can see their teeth aching for it and you know there&#039;s nothing they won&#039;t do or say to get it, well, Romney, Shuckabee, and Hizzoner are right there.

Did George Washington really &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to be President?* Fred is offering to serve the Republic. See the difference?

No, Jack Bauer wouldn&#039;t make a good President. He wouldn&#039;t make a good Fred!, either. In his heart, General Zod knows he is not fit to kneel before Fred! ;-)

&lt;em&gt;*Okay, before everybody goes and gets wrapped around the axle, nobody, not even teh Fred!, is George Washington.&lt;/em&gt;</description>
