If Huckabee should get the nomination....

...makes me shudder.

[rodguy911]

Great analysis, and with Bubba on the ropes popularity wise it’s time to bring out the old assassination hit squad out and go to work.

One last comment: We all remember what happened the last time Hillary appeared on these shows:

"The cackle."

I think it's a safe bet she's not doing that one again.

Merry Christmas Matty(breakfast rules)

25 years in the desert...but unusual in the sense that we only get a week or two of it each year. Last year, we lit the fireplace 2 or 3 times. More so this year.

In your early days the desert would cool down at night, but we've built ourselves a heat island that reeeaaalllly sucks most summer evenings as you know, and perhaps has some affect on moderating the winter cold.

Russert..... Sorry, it’s already been a long day... :)

;)

[rodguy911]

Just too good JM,you wouldn't be referring to the Hillary robotic/totally scripted manner now would you?

Rush has her down to a tee on his 24/7. Some of those bits he does are just so priceless.

[kjam22]

It is just tougher and tougher to be a phoney in the political realm these days :)

[rodguy911]

Oh now I get it,yeah fat tim if a L/W shill if nothing else.

[Mr Rogers]

RP is a loon. Some folks don’t deserve face time on TV, but I make an exception for him since he works so hard to prove he’s nuts.

[kjam22]

LOL

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

and Paul has a majority of what...

He has a majority of disgruntled Republicans, cross-over Democrats, independents, and newcomers joining his campaign. You fail to realize that the GOP base has shrunk significantly since 2004.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I don’t think you’d want to see me scream, Johnnie. I might shatter your computer monitor.

[snugs]

We often get goose fly over Ashford and quite a lot of coutry people in the villages still keep them as guard dogs.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This is what Paul's all about. Anarchy. Simply destroy the whole system. Tear it all down.

He has stated that there would be a transition period for those who still need government programs, those who are on SS, Medicare, etc.

As for the IRS, it's all about shifting the debate. He knows that he probably can't get rid of it, but I bet whatever comes changes out of it would be much better than the current convoluted system we have now.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

smart

I really don't give a rip about propping up corrupt tin-pot dictators in Africa with my tax dollars. You?

[rodguy911]

How nice Eleanor! Same to you as well.

[9YearLurker]

I agree, Ron Paul does diminish the GOP on one level.

On the other hand, if it takes a vocal outlier like him to make a more moderate downsizing of the government seem like an acceptably moderate position, might there be some potential good to come from him as well?
