Mitt believers, is that headache you have just the hangover from last nights celebration or is it today's polls!
The "gold standard" poll of the Des Moines Register has Huck with a 6 point lead with two days to go!
Today's Zogby daily tracking poll has Huck building a lead for the past few days.
Huckabee has the "big mo".
I hear ya.
I'm looking at the bright side...a Huck win in Iowa means lead-toy-Romney takes a Chinese doggie hit.
I see grammar was not one of your better subjects. Were you educated in Arkansas?
This'll be my 34th year here, I think I know what I'm talking about. ;-)
"There’s absolutely no way my home state of Mississippi would go for either Dhimmi, regardless of whoever might be the Pubs’ nominee."
You may be in for a shock. MS votes GOP for President, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility that with massively depressed turnout that a rodent couldn't win a plurality. Bill Clinton got 44% of the vote in 1996 with Dole getting an underwhelming 49%. You put a liberal RINO on the ballot that will turn off Conservative voters, Hillary matches or clicks up a couple of points on her husband's performance, and the RINO loses MS by a few points. Don't say it can't happen, because it can. Hillary is already tied or slightly ahead of Joe Isuzu Romney in TN. Fred leads Hillary by double digits. Romney can't lose a single Southern state and win.
Bye, bye Mitt? Don’t think so, lol: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/31/iowa.poll/index.html?iref=mpstoryview In this one Mitt is 3 points UP.
As usual you equate Fred being wrong a few times and admitting it to Mitt flipping and flopping all over the place. Of course you will always find a way to excuse him and defend his liberal record. The truth of the matter is if elected he will be another GWB(who I voted for four times) who will find it easier to compromise than to stand and fight. If he gets the nomination I’ll vote for him but I don’t think he will be a successful president nor do I think he will live up to his promises on immigration. He will mirror GWB.
Wishfull BS of the first order. Get out of your mitt hating talking points and keep your powder dry. Above all listen to the candidates, all of them.
I repeat, they are all very well aware that the new media, and the base, will remember what their platform speeches contain, and will hold each of them accountable.
Mitt Romney is far and away superior in every way to any democrat candidate, period, that probably goes for every other Republican candidate as well. That said, there is sufficient evidence on this forum, that my mind is not yet made up.
So without trying to devine the winner in the primaries, why not try really hard not to undermine the election process with such off the wall propaganda from dem talking points, and sheer balderdash unrelated to present day reality.
Forget someone elses rewritten history of every candidate, and stay in the moment, until the primaries are over. Listen to what the candidates are saying right now! All of them, dem and Republican.
I have a Christian brother who is a Dem.... Nicest guy you ever wanted to meet. He would give a person the shirt off his back. Don’t get me wrong, his actions are honorable..but he is a Lemming because he is a Dem...the dems arn’t going to just take from him, they want to eliminate him. I can’t get him to understand the end goal of the world workers party is to erase religion. I guess it’s a Catholic martyr thing. Denial ain’t just a river.
“Accept Mitt as the Republican nominee. It is our destiny.”
I tend to agree with you on this. He started early and has held on. He looks and sounds good and has lots of money to carry him to the end. He’s not my first choice, but I can live with him. I think he will pick McCain as his VP. McCain has name recognition and will provide the military and foreign affairs knowledge that Mitt lacks. In a perfect world it would be Hunter/Thompson, but it’s not going to happen that way.
All TV morning shows are reporting Huckabee in the lead. One can find a poll evidently that will support his belief about anything.
This puts the Huckster in the same league as Dingy Harry 'The Mop' Reid ......... not a good place for the Huckster to be since Rush 'cleaned the floor' with Dingy Harry. Also, as Huck has become a (temporary) front-runner, I've not been impressed with the way he's handled the situation - in fact, I've been totally repulsed.
>>>Huckabee has the “big mo”.
You are the 5th or even 6th person that has used a black magic expression to reference Huckabee.
That is kinda disturbing because the first thing I think of is that dog.
Fred may or may not win, but it won’t be Mitt either....
34th year where.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Thompson could’ve run away with this thing if he had just early on endorsed the Human Life Amendment and the Federal Marriage Amendment.
I know people are going to jump in and say, “but Fred’s a federalist and he wants those issues decided by the states”.
Well, maybe, but here’s where Fred goofed. Presidents have no direct involvement in amending the Constitution. It’s left entirely to the legislative branch. Currently, our culture is too demented to pass either an HLA or an FMA. Those amendments will only pass if or when there’s a moral turnaround in our society. That may happen someday (hopefully) but it won’t happen during the next eight years when Fred would be serving as president if elected.
So it wouldn’t even be a live issue if Fred becomes president, and even if it was, he wouldn’t have any real say-so in the matter anyway. The only way he’d have any involvement would be if he tried to use his office a bully pulpit for or against either an HLA or an FMA. I have no doubt that if Hillary was prez, and one of those amendments had a shot at passing, she’d be on the phone to senators, twisting their arms and threatening to withhold funds from their pet projects unless they voted to kill the proposal.
But would Fred do that? If, for example, a Human Life Amendment was on the verge of passing, would he get on the phone and start offering pork to senators to switch their votes on the issue? My guess is he wouldn’t. He’d just stay on the sidelines and let it pass or fail.
So, that being the case, why was he so adamant that he’s against those amendments?
A) They have no chance of passing in the near future.
B) They’ll only have a chance of passing when our culture is a better one than we have now, in which case the people would want the amendments by a wide margin.
c) Constitutional amendments aren’t subject to presidential veto or signature.
D) I can’t imagine that Fred would try to kill either of those amendments if they really had a shot at passing. Only a pro-abortion or pro-homosexuality fanatic would do so.
So why didn’t Fred just say this: “We currently don’t have the votes for such amendments, but it’s not in my jurisdiction as president, so if Congress and the states want such amendments, more power to them. In the meantime, though, I’ll fight for family values in areas where I can have some impact.”
If he had said that, fine. But by going on the Sunday news shows and declaring his opposition to those amendments, it allowed Huckster an opening.

“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to New Hampshire Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006
“Romney arrived on the scene with great promise,
but is leaving the Republican Party here in shambles.
Not only are the Republicans yielding the governor’s office
for the first time in 16 years, but registered Republicans
have fallen by 31,000 since Romney took office,
and their legislative presence is at historic lows.
But it worked out fine for him:
He is now chasing the prize he really covets, the presidency.”"
- Boston Globe 11/8/2006
Smell you own candidate's bullcrap first, pal. He's gonna kill this party. He's done it already in MA.
