Dumb and Dumber.....

John McCain and Mike Huckabee have become unusual allies, united by their desire to stop Mitt Romney from winning the early presidential nominating contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.
While Huckabee and McCain have repeatedly criticized Romney, they have showered each other with affection. McCain has lauded Huckabee as "a man of integrity, honesty, and decency." And Huckabee has praised McCain as "a true, honest-to-God American hero."
The warmth between them may be heartfelt, but both men recognize that they need each other over the next two weeks. McCain needs Huckabee to beat Romney in Iowa's Republican caucuses on Jan. 3, so that Romney is weakened for the New Hampshire primary five days later. And Huckabee needs McCain to draw votes from Romney in Iowa. Polls indicate McCain and Romney are in a statistical tie in New Hampshire, and Huckabee is leading Romney In Iowa.
The alliance between the folksy former Arkansas governor and the irreverent Arizona senator has been one of the stranger story lines to emerge in the Republican race.
McCain, after all, has had a rocky relationship with evangelical voters since he criticized Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson during the 2000 presidential campaign, saying their message of "intolerance" hurt the Republican Party and America. Huckabee, meanwhile, has rocketed to the top of the Iowa polls and the top tier of national candidates by courting evangelical voters and marketing himself in his ads as a "Christian leader."
McCain and Huckabee have put aside whatever differences each might have in the interests of blocking Romney, said Dante J. Scala, a University of New Hampshire political scientist. At presidential debates, and whenever they cross paths on the campaign trail, McCain and Huckabee swap compliments.

In a pig’s eye!
Stupid is as stupid does.
Birds of a feather...
I decided a long time ago I would vote for McCain if he got the nomination despite his lunacy and track record. He sealed the deal when he sang “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” on the campaign trail. What can I say? I’m also crazy so McCain’s craziness appeals to me. I also really want to see Iran get bombed. McCain also said he wanted to kick Russia out of the G8! Crazy! But I love it.
They better desire to stop Obama and Hillary instead
Dumb and Dumber.....
“Huckabee/McCain 2008 - a strong ticket”
Both on board with illegal aliens/wage depression, and the global warming/carbon credit scamsters.
Two of a kind!
A Rino and a Rino form alliance against a Rino.
It's no secret around here how I feel about McKook. But would I vote for him to stop Hillary?
In a nanosecond.
You have a wonderful way with words.
Nope. While they will be fighting over who is the most pretend to be conservative; the rest of us will be voting for the true conservative, Duncan Hunter.
Repetitive, but unfortunately factual.
An alliance?? What is this the “Survivor: Caucuses?”
The “Pro-Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants” ‘08 GOP Presidential ticket: Mike Huckabee/John McCain.
Where the hell did you get a picture of George C. Scott and Hitler?
Ahh Geez. Spare me the nauseating do-si-do .
Huckabee/McCain 2008 - a strong ticket
More like a kamikaze mission.
Mccain/Huckabee 08
Tenemos un sueño
