These ‘politicians’ are actors paid by Communists and Jihadis to destroy the USA.

If they don’t play ball their NSA file gets dumped to CNN and their career ends the same day.

How sad. The fat gene from Huckabee’s side of the family, and some help from her side of the family has resulted in obese children. They, with the exception of the young girl, look like an ad for helium balloons. They will be battling this fat gene for the rest of their lives as is Huckabee.

“Rebrand it, refocus it, but don’t retreat,” Huckabee reportedly told CCSSO members.

Seems like an analogy for the gop wing of the uniparty in general. Don’t make the changes that your constituents want, simply rename them. Or put less elegantly, don’t call it a “s*** sandwich”, call it “steak on toast.”

“Don’t hear much from them these days.”

Don’t worry. They’ll be back later this year, pimping for the gop wing of the uniparty. I suspect that most are paid bloggers. Until the campaign season starts in earnest, there isn’t much perceived need for them.

You can tell who they are when they insist that ya GOTTA vote for the gop! Ya just GOTTA!

This is the problem it’s the name, rename it and now we have something he and they can support.
