Reference Cream’s “The Politician”.
Or this one from Motorhead:
I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in my pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician and I decide your fate
It’s called “damning with faint praise.”
I think it’s spot on.
And, its a lie about both. Neither ever got anyone elected except themselves. The 2010 election was Obama’s first real test as a “politician”. He failed.
Reason Number 1 why I will never consider voting for Haley Barbour for President.
You know, I really used to like Barbour and Huckabee for that matter, but their suck-up butt kissing really turns my stomach.
Did he add 'Bless his heart' ?
The MSM make or break politicians these days.
They support Zer0 just like they supported Clinton. Refusing to call them on their lies and misspeaks or as they like to call it, fact check.
I saw the show. It was not a compliment at all. I would have preferred him to call obamadoff a communist sleeper cell traitor, but it wasn’t a compliment.
“Okay, who put the pod in his cellar?!”
LOL! I have to use that one.
YMMV.
Haley Barbour you got to stop making that stop on US 49 between jackson and Yazoo City and getting the Kudzu for smoking. remember Kudzu was introduced from Japan after WWII in Mississippi to control something or other but after it was introduced it became quite invasive and now only politicians use as a medicine when they need to lie through teeth. Come now Haley stop sending the supply to the white House the lies are getting thicker and thicker each and every day.
Haley barbour please do not run for president. What you are doing for Yazoo City, Mississippi for your stupd remarks is making it a laughing stock. next we will hear they want to change Grand Avenue to Haley barbour Boulevard. Yazoo City will say they have two boulevard named after comedians Jerry Clower, and Haley Barbour.
Scratch barbour from the posibles list.
[Jesse Jackson was nowhere close to becoming President.]
You hit it perfectly: the valueless measure by which Barbour judges a politician.
Wow! That is a dang good description of the A-hole in the WH these days..not to mention all the other countries where these people run the world around them.
These days I trust people like Palin and West, DeMint and a few others...and that’s it.
Let's see - "The Ploitico" wrote the story.
Looks like they feel they have something to fear from Barbour and are doing the same "let's marginalize this person with the conservatives" that they have been doing with Palin.
If we keep falling for this crap, all the common-sense conservatives, that might try for the ballot, will be relegated to the dust bin before we get near the primaries...Might as well be listening to Chrissy Mathews and his ilk for advice on how to pick a Republican candidate.
An Obama can be more easily excused for his evils, than a Barbour for his amoral support of same. Obama doesn't know any better, theoretically, given his background.
It is contemptible to give support of any sort to the vicious and the seditious.
But it is also, helpful. That Barbour showed what his weakness is, that is being star-struck. A beta, or a gamma. Not an Alpha. Not a serious man of kind we need in these times. A player in the power game. A man that will be dominated, can be dominated, seeks to be dominated -- by the dominant.
It's interesting. Barbour's at his peak. But at that peak, in all the power he has he gets trapped. Confuses the assumption of massive political power by a charlatan in a susceptible nation to such a fraud as Obama as played with being a great politician. Yet it is just a construct of a idea propagandized into Obama that is like a loose jetsam caught at the top of a great cultural wave. That's not being a great politician.
Barbour might have said that Obama is great in exploiting the politics of our time. That would allow for a caution as to how long Obama will be able to do so.
Obama's rise is not accounted to Obama, but to those who have supported the vacant and immoral delusions he represents. That also is what Barbour misses. And also is why Barbour's statement is unwise praise, highly unwise praise. To support such a destructive man in the very week he has pushed the perverted immorality of homosexual marriage upon a nation that rejects it, is not only unwise, it is contemptible.
Certainly highlights the stupidity of Barbour's Truce on Social Issues position.
It's not a truce.
It's a surrender.
Truce on immorality means a cultural suicide.
There’s no hope of honest books, honest accounting, honest business in a culture where immorality is wide-spread. Corruption grows like a fast-spreading cancer.
And — as the rise of Islam showed, rampant immorality can get overthrown by a over-zealous hyper-morality that locks a culture into a repressive stone age. The culture of the Saudi peninsula when Mohammed arose was immoral, full of gambling, kidnapping, sexual perversion. With his teachings Mohammed attempted to make it moral. Instead see what is had today! A zealous religion that is a false cover for the same immoralities.
That could be where WE end up, with “leaders” willing to go along with the immoral as long as it enters step by step.
Our Founders were men committed to a moral culture. They were not perfect, they rejected zealotry, but they would not have stood by approvingly while some charlatan of a leader declared the immoral moral.
If as Barbour says is really the case in this piece then why would he want to run on the RINO ticket to replace Obama? Why not run as his running mate?
