I have no problem with that...it’s when people become so focused on one person, whether it’s Palin/Huckabee/Hunter/Pence/???? that they refuse to acknowledge someone else including those mentioned who aren’t their first choice, can do a good job too. Now, I’ll not ever say I think Huckabee can do a good job; but I like Sarah, and I’m open to anyone else, too, who meets my standards. It seems like there are some people, who refuse to see the potential flaws in their candidate, but are insistant in pointing out the flaws in everyone else. We won’t win with a purity test, and we won’t win by pouting. Instead of trying to tear someone down, as seems to be the case, and refusing to consider anyone but X won’t get conservatism advanced any quicker or a conservative message out any clearer.
Oh come on, Mark...they don’t make men in New Hampshire anymore...G-d took the sign down a few years back... :-)
Great. Now I have visions of the Great Boston Molasses Flood...
I honestly don’t know a terrible lot about him, except what I’ve read on FreeRepublic. It’s rare that a Congressman (not Senator) rises to the office of the President, because many Congressman have great appeal inside their district and 0 appeal everywhere else. The problem I have with him is his endorsement of (p)hucakbee. That’s something that crosses into unforgiveable territory for me. I’ve not spent much time learning about him because even if he does decide to run, by the time the primaries reach Kentucky, he won’t be around. He and (p)huckabee seem to have a similar problem when it comes to raising $$, and reality is, you need money to run a successful campaign.
I am supporting Palin, obviously but I am not “offended” if someone wants to support Huckabee, Romney, etc. If Palin fails to garner the nomination, we may well end up with Romney, then what? I swore last time I would never vote for McCain and then I voted for McCain. My strategy now is to back my candidate to the fullest and live with the results.
Amen! I support Palin; but I’m not going to spend my time talking down all the other candidates. I do have a line in the sand that I won’t cross; but the likelihood of it coming to that is very small.
BTW - reading your tagline - did you see the hysterical article posted earlier by someone about how Sarah has never encouraged her kids to go to college? lol.
You know who I would love to hear as a guest host? Greg Gutfeld, of Red Eye. That guy is awesome!
J C Watts is a snoozefest......

Yes, I did! I had to laugh at the incoherent ramblings of that “educated” fool. I only have a high school education and I couldn’t wait to get out of there but I’d stack my intellect against a lot of college graduates. It isn’t how much education someone has but what they do with it.
Yeah, Greg would be good. He has a quick wit.
I loved when Steyn started on that stupid “Coexist” symbol with the gay symbol next to the Muslim crescent and how nobody seems to have thought this through. It reminded me of that old Woody Allen line, “The lion may lie down with the lamb, but the lamb won’t be getting much sleep.”
Joooooooos!
Case in point - Rush Limbaugh. He’s very successful, yet no college degree.
College is a waste for most people. Peruse Facebook photo albums of the college kids you know...Not a lot of “book learnin’” going on there.
The sad thing is that many people quit reading books once they finish formal education. They quit growing. The best thing to learn early on in school is the ability to read and comprehend. If a person can master reading, education becomes a lifelong pursuit. However, all the book learning is useless if it isn’t applied to building life experiences.
I love the educational setting; I love being inside the classroom and having intelligent discussions about readings...however, from my experience, that rarely happened INSIDE a college classroom. It was the smaller, study groups that met independent of class, without a teacher, that, imho, provided me with more education/information than the majority of my classes.
No doubt, the quality of education has suffered these past decades. I hope there are more people with your attitude.
