Huck Camp: Blame Fred

MSNBC ^ | Jan. 19, 2008 | Domenico Montanaro

[Saundra Duffy]

Huckabee is so annoying.

[dusttoyou]

As a FRED supporter from the beginning, I would like to have you explain where you get this absurd assumption that A. FRED will come out for Mclame and B. that true conservatives would just blindly follow his endorsement of the Major RINO Mclame.

Sounds like more of same old SORELOSERMAN huckleberry BS.

[Owen]

Neither has the money to win the long battle.

It’s Romney. Thompson’s people will mostly go to Romney. The only thing that will stop that is McCain funding Thompson to stay in.

[littlehouse36]

After Huckabee's gracious concession speech -- in which he had nothing but kind words for John McCain who he said showed great "civility" -- former SC Gov. David Beasley, a Huckabee surrogate, railed against Thompson.

 

Kudos to MSNBC writer Domenico Montanaro for accurately describing what happened. 

 

Huckabee, as usual, stands there with a halo over his head while the destruction takes place.

 

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

“...he will be the Republican equivalent of George McGovern. IMHO of course.”

Don’t be so humble when stating the TRUTH!

[SoConPubbie]

Rudy and McCain are peas in a pod as far as being liberal and unelectable.

Neither is an acceptable candidate!

[I_like_good_things_too]

Well said. I’ve tried not to despise huck, with the thought that I might have to try to vote for him in a general, but he’s so despicable, there’s just no way. I thought politicians are supposed to make themselves MORE likable, and to attract MORE voters?

[donnab]

They outted themselves.

[donnab]

Well Huck why haven’t you gone after McCain. Even in his speech he still compliments McCain. Hmmmmmm.

[ThermoNuclearWarrior]

What you don’t seem to understand is that no one likes the idiot Huckabee any better than they like McCain. Fred should stay in the race until the end. Who cares if takes votes away from RINO’s like Huckabee or McCain? Maybe Republicans need to support a real conservative like Thompson.

“Huckabee is so annoying.”

I like him. But his politics are a bit disturbing.

[joydoc]

THE FORMER GOVENOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA IS A ‘POOR’ LOOSER.
PERHAPS FRED THOMPSON HAD AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE BUT IT’S CALLED POLITICS.
IS THE FORMER GOVENOR THAT NAIVE NOT TO REALIZE THE MOVE.
NOW SOMEONE WILL DEFEAT McCAIN.
WE CONSERVATIVES DO NOT WANT McCAIN, OR HUCKABEE, AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
WE ALREADY HAVE THE ICE QUEEN AND OBAMA TO OVERCOME. NO NEED FOR A LIBERAL RIN0 SUCH AS A McCAIN.
McCAIN IS A NICE GUY AND A WAS HERO. DOES THAT GIVE HIM THE RIGHT TO THINK HE SHOULD BE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT?
IF SO WHAT FOOLS WE MORTALS BE

[syriacus]

Poor, poor Hucka-wanna-bee.

[rrrod]

A friend in Greenville SC told me last nite folks were turning against the slimey huckster at the last min. Word went via phones that “to stop the huckster, McCain was the way to vote” “A Fred vote was a wasted vote.”

Not sure of this and cant follow the logic but just passing on info.

Evangelicals were turning away from Huckster at the last min it appears. He will be gone soon and will remain just a bad joke.

Not sure what will happen with Thompson but it doesnt look good now.

[KTM rider]

"The pundits are so full of nonsense. Mike Huckabee can barely capture Southern Baptist evangelicals. He has played the spoiler in this nomination process with his identity politics and populism.

Good point, it's like the rodeo clown Huckles took the focus off the issues, it turned into a religious war, and Romney came off smellin like a rose, mcCain and Julie got bucked right off and bit the dust

To: Ex-Governor Weasly, Dope from Hope, and Ed Rollins

All three of you can go pound sand. I will NEVER vote for you, Mr. Huckabee. You are a worthless, disgusting POS socialist scumbag. I'm glad I supported Fred, if for no other reason than to see your worthless RINO ass spanked.

BTW, Mr. Rollins, RE your statement about kicking Mitt's teeth out: I hope to meet you in person someday so I can kick your teeth out. You're a worthless little puke who isn't fit to shine Senator Thompson's shoes. Hell, you aren't fit to clean his toilet.

FOAD you inbred losers.

[arturo]

I merely pointed out that because of his history with McCain, if Fred should drop out, it’s quite likely he would endorse McCain. And everything I said in my post is factual.

Makes sense to me. Would explain Thompson's kid gloves approach with McCain, and the liberal-like hatred he has whipped up against Huckabee, McCain's greatest threat. I'm convinced that Thompson has only been staying in the race to run interference for McCain and his reward could very well be the second spot on the ticket in the fall. I don't know how else you explain a guy staying in as long as he has when he is clearly going nowhere.

[arturo]

Ha ha. Where were the black helicopters when Rush was claiming McCain and Huckabee were conspiring together to take votes away from Mitt, and all the dittoheads ate it up?

[Huck]

Fred Camp: Blame Huck

True dat.

[arturo]

First, let’s get something on the table: I have never in my life been MORE disgusted with a politician - not Nixon, not Clinton, not nobody - than I was tonight when I saw Mike Huckabee have the ASTOUNDING gall to stand up and say that the top two finisher ran a clean campaign and he was proud that he finished as he did “honorably”

Amusing how Thompson started the all-out attack on Huckabee, and when his opponent's supporters fought back, all we hear is whining about unfair play. I have no doubt this cost Thompson in more ways than one. He not only came across as surly, but the fact that he concentrated on one opponent and one opponent only gave the appearance that he was just picking a fight, like it was personal. He was bragging about being the most like Reagan, all the while not appearing like Reagan at all.
