Bob Parks takes us all to the woodshed. It was a good thumpin’.
A good article. Huckabee is beginning to collapse because now the spotlight is on him as front runner. Republican candidates need to stop worrying about whether the media will be pleased with them. Speaking small words heavy with apology for the beliefs of those who support them will not win elections. It is going to take a strong leader not the weak willed word parsers.
The writer of this story is full of it. Willard, judy and the lier Huckster, are definitely fourth are fifth stringers. The old guard and tackle joke!.
The candidates reflect what the voters want.
The public often gravitates between wanting the government to do things, and wanting them to NOT do things. The last congressional election was as much a punishing the Republicans for doing bad things as electing Democrats *precisely* because they hadn’t promised to do *anything*. They had NO platform.
I suspect the candidates appreciate this. That is why they seem to be all following the same rule book:
1) Don’t make waves. Don’t make promises for change.
2) Especially DO NOT push hot button items.
Fred Thompson, especially, seems to be following the “Front Porch Campaigns” of James A. Garfield in 1880 and William McKinley in 1896, followed by Warren G. Harding in 1920.
Please note that all of them were elected.
Great article, Bob!
While you’re waiting, you might want to just check on a man by the name of Duncan Hunter. He’s the real deal. The MSM has smothered him, but he keeps fighting because that’s who he is...check it out, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
It looks like second string Rs in Alaska. Sen Stevens and Rep Young are running behind their opponents, who are at this point unknown.
