Republican star, US actor back E.Jerusalem settlers

Influential US Republican Mike Huckabee and Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight on Monday lent their backing to Jewish settlers in east Jerusalem, by laying the cornerstone for a new neighbourhood. The two were guests of honour at a ceremony to lay the foundation stone of a new settlement initiative called Beit Orot on the edge of the Mount of Olives. "The essence of freedom, the very heart of it, is self determination and self direction," said Huckabee, who has been touted as a possible Republican candidate in 2012.

I can’t believe Huck has any remaining primary hopes. Unbelievable. He was complete toast the day the murderer he freed committed those murders in Washington state. Huck is so toast, I think he looked very scared right after that, thinking Fox was going to can him.
Most politicians just don’t realize that people have started to wake up and they’re not going back to sleep for decades. Conservative means Conservative nowadays. If they’re kind of confused by the Tea Party, or just don’t like the inconvenience of having to deal with them, they’re in for a shocker: we don’t care any more about having a “person” for a “brand”. Gone are the days of continually electing the same Republican guy because he’s got an R by his name, and “we need him down there”. We don’t need any particular person elected. What we need is a true Conservative who votes No on every new program and votes Yes on deconstructing our FrankenGovermentStein for 2 terms and then goes home to the farm.

Oh, and if you have a murderer convicted on your watch, and it’s obvious the guy did it and it’s obvious he’s a lunatic murderer, hang’em so he doesn’t come back on us.

This is the kind of exposure Sarah Palin desperately needs. No more frolicking in the snow. Serious trips, meetings, exposure.

How about salmon fishing? Bear hunting? Showdowns with Kate Gosselin? Not enough gravitas?

Not enough gravitas?

Time to get down to international topics. Visit Allies, world leaders, trips to Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Britain and other European countries.

I enjoyed her Alaska show but wanted her to stand on Little Diomede Island and say something like.'This is the westernmost point of land in Alaska'. The camera pans to the west and she says, 'That is Big Diomede Island,Russia, two miles away'.
