Yeah ... they know a 'Rat sympathizer when they see one. It's an inbred sixth sense.
He's beatable in the general election?
“Huckabee is being promoted by the mainstream media...”
Given articles the last two weeks smacking him on AIDS policy and Romney’s church and women’s rights and gifts he received as governor and (whatever else), what exactly is your definition of the word “promoted”?
Clearly, his poll numbers continue to grow in spite, not because, of MSM coverage.
He’s also being promoted by Dobson and Newt.
I said a long while ago I was supporting Thompson because he has a conservative record and could keep the coalition together.
McCain had alienated too many people.
What happened? Rudy’s supporters thought they could screw conservatives and push social conservatives out of the party and force Rudy own everyone’s throats.
Romney supporters long ago decided in their elite meetings that Romney could have a makeover and be turned into a conservative, so they set about destroying Thompson because he was an impediment. The problem is that they only succeeded in hurting Thompson, Romney has never really moved much from where he was.
Now we have open warfare between the fiscal small government conservatives and social conservatives. Social conservatives by supporting Huckabee are basically putting the screws to the Rudy wing of the party. make no mistake, the Rudy wing started this bloodbath. But in the process social conservatives are going to destroy themselves if they go through with Huckabee and take everyone else down with them. Huckabee is a Liberal snake that cannot be trusted. even on Judges. especially on judges. His discernment and judgement are too questionable on too many issues to believe he could successfuly pick a good judge.
And Dobson is a good example of that. he let his emotions get in the way and held on tight to Miers with all red flares going off. No wonder he supports Huck. And newt, Newt wants power. he sees the way to power being through the social conservatives and as a plus he gets to hit back at the conservative power makers that nixed his run because he was too “controversial” a candidate. At this point I’m sick of both of them and the evangelicals AND fiscal conservatives here.
I’m a conservative. And a Christian. And I refuse Rudy and Huck. If the party’s base on the ground comes to its senses, let me know. But I won’t support their petty blood wars OR their eventual candidate if it comes to be Huck or Rudy. That candidate will lose in a landslide anyway and bring on Hillary in that instance. sadly, she’d be better then either one only because Republicans might actually fight her.
