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.

Amusing how Thompson started the all-out attack on Huckabee...

In what alternate universe did this ever happen?

The lying POS, Huckabee, could not win fair and square and resorted to his stock in trade, the glib lie.

He is disgusting.

And yet, when Fred spoke it was about actual, ya know, ISSUES.

when Huck spoke it was more cheerful, to be sure....but it was a serious of quips about Metiemucil, Hollywood writers, and getting up too late...and always a laughing deflection of having to discuss anything of substance.

So I guess, if that’s what you want in the leader of the free world - one liners - then knock yourself out.

Since when did Fred telling the truth about Huckster’s tax increases become surly? Huckster was a Dem at one time is definitely a socialist liberal.
