“I never joined a cult and I am not a liberal. I win!”

No, you’re just silly and childish.

[Kozak]

If we all agree on the importance of the smaller states in the electoral process, why can't we rotate it among all small states? Why does it absolutely have to be Iowa and New Hampshire?

The current nomination "system" is idiotic. We would better off with nude twister or throwing darts blindfolded. The Rats nearly ended up with Dean last time only coming to their senses at the last minute. Seems like it's our turn for insanity.

“Sticks and stones” Sister Flag.Being right means more than name-calling.Conservatism is rational debate not leftist emotional ad-hoc-ary.

“The 4th largest church in America is hardly a cult.”

All of the other top ten churches which happen to be Christan say that the Mormons are not Christian and have to be baptized.

“Conservatism is rational debate not leftist emotional ad-hoc-ary.”

Well, I’ll tell you what. You try having “rational debate” with ansell12.... unless you are just like ansell12 yourself. I’m going to bed. Have fun.

[Coldwater Creek]

Anyone but Rudy and Huckabee? Maybe your old buddy and fellow orange bleeder, Al Gore will run after all!

[W04Man]

NOT too strange that a liberal Richmond MSM newspaper would fall for this......

ESPECIALLY SINCE REPUBLICAN ACTIVISTS WENT FOR FRED 112 TO 51 OVER HUCK ONE WEEK AGO AT THE GOP MEETING IN ARLINGTON

I agree with enjoying the fury of Huckabee! What tantrums! The truth is with the economy starting to struggle, I can’t think of a better candidate to win in 2008. He comes across well on TV and seems to be the best retail politician running in either party. He is definitely able to reach out better to the middle class who is having a difficult time paying the bills with high gas and food prices. All of our candidates have flaws but Huckabee with his ability to communicate to the electorate will win the day if given the chance.

"He is resolutely anti-abortion, supports a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and is a man of deep faith. He has been elected — and reelected — to statewide office in a Democratic-leaning state."

Great! That's about 10% of what conservatism is about.

How is he on lowering taxes? What is his philosophy on the economy? Where does he think the federal government has too much power and how would he reduce it? Is he serious about pushing a national sales tax or is that just pandering?

Interesting that Huckabee, Romney, and Rudy point to being elected in a liberal state as a positive thing.

If Mormons were around in America before 1776,would they have been persecuted? Seems to me the Church of England was the enemy of America at the time and it was VERY Christian (almost Catholic).The religeous intolerance of the Anglican Church was a major bone of contention between England and her North American colonies.This is where the constitutional “Freedom OF (NOT from)Religeon” has it’s roots.
Protestants,Catholics and Mormons worship Christ in diferent ways.All three have scriptures unprovable by empiracal evidence.
So faith is fact to the faithful and the only logical response to the eternal grave of the athiest.Christianity,like conservatism,is what works and I would not subvert the basic dogma out of personal sectarian vanity.
Let the Muslims do that.

[ansel12]

I don’t know about all that Mormon stuff, but I do know what all of the other nine churches among the largest ten agree on, and that is that the Mormons have to be baptisted because they are not Christians.

[Happy Rain]

Well,at least in our disagreements we aren’t blowing each other’s churches up.
Great to be in America,ain’t it?

[captnorb]

Is Iowa a state where anyone from any party can vote in the caucus?

[ansel12]

“Well,at least in our disagreements we aren’t blowing each other’s churches up.”

I guess, earlier I thought that you were trying to act like Mormons are Christians. I don’t know what “each other’s churches” means, but it seems to mean something to you, so OK.

Thank you. Thompson/Hunter 2008

I’ll sit it out too... I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ANOTHER LIBERAL. You liberal Republicans can nominate this pos at your own risk... but if you do... dims will win.

[LibLieSlayer]

I’d vote for McCain before I will vote for rootiromneyhuck. I will not vote for President if any of those three are the nominee... and I have voted Republican since I could vote... and I voted for NIXON my first time out! I will never again vote for a liberal... and all three are screaming liberals... and their records prove it!

LLS

[LibLieSlayer]

Amen!

You gals with crushes on mitt are disgusting. He was a LIBERAL governor of the most LIBERAL State in the Union... and you are his LIBERAL minion! He governed as a PRO ABORTION, ANTI GUN, HIGH TAXES, REPRESSED RIGHTS kennedy... and whenever he speaks of his changed views... he is LYING!
