If Chuckleberry is the best we got to offer in 2012, I’m seceding my home from the union.

Yeah. Good point. They put on phony events that don’t reflect reality, and then can’t figure out why they’re living in unreality.

Huckabee got us McCain which got us Obama which got us an unmitigated disaster.

However, I just don’t see how any of our candidates could have taken Obama last year...zero lied so well that voters actually thought they were getting a fiscal conservative....at least now they know better.

I think Romney won in 2007 and Romney and Paul almost tied in 2008- we see how well they did.

I wish there was as much concern about ‘oh-ten’
as there is about ‘oh-12’. Much work to be done.

Actually, Willard won it last year. Which is even funnier.

I don’t know who these self-identified “values voters” are, but I’d love the chance to sell each of them a gently used automobile.

I’ve tried very hard to just ignore the whole thing, but frankly I find the whole charade so distasteful these days its hard for me not to remark on it. Bleh.

Surprised at the low turnout; only 597 votes.

And I'll be putting my family in a bathtub and setting sail for Malta.

Fox mentioned it, but you’re right, Fox did not emphasize that important fact.

I am not troubled by the straw poll at all, because all of the people in attendance will happily support her. I’m certain Huckabee won because he gives a good speech and this time only those in attendance could vote, so Romney couldn’t steal with Internet voters.

Is this evidence that the Christian conservatives are not paying close attention to the political landscape?

Anyone who is smelling the coffee knows its between Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney. And Sarah has been 100% on the money with everything she has said. Mitt comes off as a smooth talker which brings out too many negative associations.

Who cares? I sure as hell don't. It's a meaningless unscientific vote.

Besides, I noticed they didn't do online voting this time around, and I think it's because they didn't want people outside the status quo being able to vote.

That’s why I posted the story. Not to bring attention to it, but to solicit some group catharsis.

These people are a joke. I’m glad Sarah missed it.

"Evidence that some of the people can be fooled all of the time."

Right you are. Watch Big Mike's eyes wander when he has an attarctive female guest on his show.

Clearly the followers of Jim Jones...I mean the Huckster... have worked out in their sheeple minds why the Huckster took off in the middle of the campaign to go to the Caymens..he says for a prior book signing commitment....who paid for wifey’s all expenses...multiple times to Las Vegas..the huckster penchant for not coming clean about his so called degree....and any defense of his goof ball son(s).

As to this Value voters group they must be strongly allied with the Taliban.....same mentality
