From reading the article the only person using the term "short-busers" is Herman Cain. Since he is a self-admited National Sales Tax advocate I take his characterization under advisement. After all he knows who his target audience is.

HUCK-A-PING!

"Unelectable" Huckabee is winning elections!

***SKY IS FALLING, SOUND THE ALARMS***

In the interest of equal time, we now present the following rebuttal from FR's own FredHeads (many of whom are in need of Metamucil):


"This article is LIES!!! ALL LIES!!!! Everyone knows ONLY FRED is conservative!!!!! Huckabee is a MARXIST SOCIALIST COMMUNIST DIRTBAG LIBERAL SCUMBAG who LOVES ILLEGAL-ALIENS & CRIMINALS & TERRORISTS & NANNY-STATE TAX-HIKING LEFTIST DEMOCRATS!!! He is the MSN created candidate ,a reincarnation of CARTER, CLINTON, ELMER-GANTRY, MAO, HILTER, O.J. SIMPSON & POL POT!!! Huck DESTROYED ARKANSAS and will DESTROY the GOP & AMERICA TOOOOOOOOOO!!! RUDY is better than Huck!! Hell, I'll take HILLARY over HUCK!! A vote for HUCKLEBURRY is a vote to CHOP-UP LITTLE PUPPIES IN A BLENDER!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAGGGH!!!"
"And oh yea, vote Fred 2008 or you're a douchebag & liberal sellout"
