I Found A Horse

[Retired Greyhound]

but they would both be “whores”

[humblegunner]

He'll make a strong and trustworthy president.

I just can't get past that whole "cult" thing of his, though...

[So Circumstanced]

Nailed it he did. Thompson has my attention.

[Verginius Rufus]

I was being sarcastic about Mitt's hair.

I still haven't figured out what he has done that is so great, other than making a lot of money and saving the Winter Olympics (and I don't pay any attention to the Winter Olympics). Mitt still comes across as a phoney.

At first I was hoping that Huckabee would hurt Mitt in Iowa...now I think that Huck might be worse news than Mitt, but I have a hard time thinking he could get the nomination on his credentials.

[Redcloak]

That horse looks an awful lot like a donkey.

Perhaps a more accurate title would have been "I Found an Equine".

[Reagan Man]

Just WTF is Matthew E. Miller?

This rush to support a liberal is quite amazing.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Mitt certainly had reason to jettison Larry Craig, but Mitt did it with such finality and near hatred, it was almost sociopathic.

I mean, Pat Buchanon showed more sympathy to Craig than Mitt.

[rockrr]

I couldn’t have written it any better. Unlike the author of this piece, I didn’t have to cast about for “my guy” - he was there all along. I don’t have any qualms about “feeling the need to settle” as Thompson says what I think.

I’m happy and enthusiastic to contribute to his campaign and will gladly pull the lever for him in the primary and I hope the general).

I know that I irritate my brothers when I dodge the question about “voting for the Republican, whoever that turns out to be”. I’ve never voted Dhimmi, and never will. Should Fred fail to win the primary, I could vote for Mitt or Huck, but there’s no enthusiasm in me for either of them. I don’t have to worry about McCain because he’ll never survive the primaries. But what to do about rudy?

The first time I stated that I would never pull the lever for rudy my brothers pounded on me. “Would you rather have hillary?!” they screamed.

Of course not, but show me how rudy would be any better? I don’t think he has much in the personal integrity department, and that means that I have serious doubts that he means what he says.

I hope that I don’t have to cross that bridge!

“I was very proud of my association with Mitt Romney. I’d worked hard for him here in the state. I was a co-chair of his campaign on Capitol Hill. And he not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again.”

---

Pat Buchannon:”Up to this week, Craig was one of only two senators to have come out for Mitt Romney. He headed up the Romney campaign in Idaho. He vouched for Mitt in Congress and the country.
And Mitt wasted no time throwing his Idaho chairman under the bus, adding he deserved it:”Once again, we’ve found people in Washington have not lived up to the level of respect and dignity that we would expect for somebody that gets elected to a position of high influence. Very disappointing. He’s no longer associated with my campaign.”

Larry Craig’s conduct “reminds us,” said Mitt, “of Mark Foley and Bill Clinton ... of the fact that people who are elected to public office continue to disappoint, and they somehow think that if they vote the right way on issues of significance or they can speak a good game, that we’ll just forgive and forget.”

“And frankly, it’s disgusting.”

That Mitt was decisive, that he was a “good butcher,” as a prime minister must be, said Asquith, is undeniable. This speaks well of Mitt’s executive intolerance of failures and failing. But one did not hear much here in the way of compassion for Larry Craig or his family.

Some senators, like Chris Dodd, cut Larry Craig some slack and asked that we hear him out before sentence is passed.

Count your friends when you’re down, Nixon always advised.

Rush Limbaugh:“I didn’t talk about this last week, but Mitt Romney issued a statement much like he issued against — who did he throw under the bus? Oh. Larry Craig. He issued a statement: That’s reprehensible what Limbaugh said, horrible, whatever it was he said — and then later in the day somebody from his office called our office. “We just found out that this is a smear, and Mitt will say this if he’s asked about it.” He hasn’t been asked about it, so his statement still stands.””””

[Michael A. Velli]

But how can any conservative not see that Fred is by far the best candidate (viable, no offense, Duncan).

Because he isn't the best candidate.

[Bobbisox]

I found a horse too! He is a horse of a different color, an all American stallion! He is a war-horse, a tall strong man with a lovely soft demeanor, a leader who others follow, as in the debate the other night. Romney raised his hand until FRED stepped into the fray and said “enough is enough,” and refused to answer that stupid loaded question. You might notice that the RINOS on that stage all raised their hands. After FRED made his stand, Romney jumped on board when he saw the audience give their approval. FRED has grit and is not afraid to be himself. FRED is a leader that hires good executives to follow his lead. Romney would be an excellent executive in a THOMPSON administration, however, I would hope that even FRED would be leery of another RINO (Republican in Name Only).

THOMPSON is exactly what this Country needs. THOMPSON is exactly what those brave men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan need as a Commander in Chief. I would hope that you would look more closely at FRED’s written proposals on a plethora of issues very critical to our Country. This pretty much says it all:

FRED THOMPSON (true consistent Conservative Federalist) - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll do whatever it takes to stop the bastards, include water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arm all legal citizens and criminals will become more hesitant) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give them sanctuary anywhere, don’t hire them, don’t rent to them, don’t give them credit, don’t give them rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by them, they will go home or we will deport them) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with the laws currently on the books) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM (reform a program that can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt this nation) - DEFEAT THE DEMOCRAT (any fool they put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (choice for the tax payer) - WON’T PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators) - PING!

Huckabee is a hick. He lacks a spine. Lib in his views. Sure I like him... in charge of a church somewhere. As POTUS... Hell no!!

[RatsDawg]

Did Shep ask him that in an interview or something?

[Defiant]

Shep made the comment, apropo of nothing, in a segment where he was talking to Brett Baier about his upcoming show, and they were chatting about an interview Brett had with Duncan. Shep said something about Duncan being at 1 percent, and when is he going to get out.

[CZB]

“....Huckabee is clearly the most personally likeable & engaging.....”

Says you. To me, the man is “clearly” a charlatan of the first order. If I’m stuck voting for a lib in the end, it’s gonna be Giuliani, not some lapsed preacher who can only distinguish himself from Hilabama because he’s pro-life and they ain’t. Likeable? Tell me you’re kidding.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Very good confirmation of my memory -— Mitt is just such a cold, calculating, power-hungry man.

I am no fan of Pat Buchanon (we diverge on Israel), but when a politician ends up looking like a hard man compared to Pat, there is something wrong with said politician's emotional make up.

[DWar]

Obviously he is neither likeable nor engaging to you. Perhaps not to me either.

I was speaking on a larger scale than just you or me. To the majority of people he is likeable and engaging as evidenced focus groups who affirm this and by his dramatic surge in polling numbers.

If you think he is wrong on the issues and won’t support him because of that, so be it. But my point is that most Americans are not as politically aware as are you and they will be influnced by his “charm.”
