Huckabilly sweeps KS

[Manedwolf]

Oh, for..

So, great. The delusional Paulisitinians Neo-Conservatives are going to put Hillbama in office.

WONDERFUL.

  Fixed it for you.  I am sorry but as far as minimizing the damage, why didnt people put someone like Paul in office in the first place?  I am sorry but the platform is broken and I cannot vote for any other candidates.

Hm. Perhaps because he's a delusional old man who thinks repeating Jimmy Carter's foreign policy would work, and that the US could be disconnected from the infinitely complex global economy and go to a 19th century gold standard without completely failing and imploding its economy? Once you get past the rhetoric, you quickly find that his policy ideas might as well be scrawled in crayon.

Paul needs to be put in front of the TV with a bowl of pudding and old "Matlock" reruns, and his disciples need to wake up to reality.

Are his followers really that bad at math, in the percentage of delegates he would have? Are they?

Is ad hom all you got?

Have you read any arguments in favor of the gold standard, or is the "past the rhetoric" part the bit where he gets called a delusional old man because we all know the gold standard is old fashioned?

Do you know how the delegate selection process works?  Do you know how the Republican convention works?

You're right. I have seen the light. Terrorist don't hate us because we are trying to screw over their country, they hate us because we mind our own business and are a free and prosperous nation. Never mind the fact that they don't attack other free and prosperous nations that mind their own business, just the ones that meddle in the internal affairs of others.

And then there is the reality that inflating a currency to pay for a great and just war that we absolutely need to do so the Iraqis wouldn't attack us will not damage the economy in anyway.

And I can't forget the reality that the Constitution can be side step for the war on terrah! Who needs freedom when a band of thugs are pissed off at us.

WONDERFUL.

For accuracy, you need to separate the two.....

Obama will be a one-term failure of a President.....

Hillary will be Empress for Life......

I got no respect for Huckee. When it became clear that it was between McStain and Romney, Huckee should have pulled out and let a somewhat conservative guy duke it out with the socialist. Instead he stayed and did just enough vote-diversion and damage on Romney to get Romney to drop out. So what did Huckee or conservatism win out of all this?? He is sorely mistaken if he thinks this bs somehow will get McStain to choose him for VP. That makes him not only unprincipled but also plain stupid.

[lupinus]

Romney is a real conservative?

Oh thats funny.  Sorry, but I refuse to call someone with a ton of sudden revelations a conservative.

[CAnnoneer]

I have not said that Romney is a "real conservative". But, at least he talks the talk. By comparison, on social issues Huckee sounds like Obama more often than not, so we already know he will not walk the walk.

In any case, that is not the point. The point is that as a result of Huckee's bullcrap, now the nomination is assuredly in the hands of McStain who is anything but conservative on any issue other than Iraq. Good job, Huckabilly.

[lupinus]

and Romney would be just as bad if not worse then McCain.

The mans done nothing good, ever.  Least McCain isn't lieing...well as much anyway

[CAnnoneer]

Least McCain isn't lieing...well as much anyway

Romney changed his positions; Mr Straight-Talk-Express outright continues lying on a number of issues ranging from the meaning of "amnesty" to Romney's position on the troop surge. McStain just hopes the media like him enough that he can continue repeating lies without consequence; the sad thing is he is probably right about that. I cannot see how Romney is the worse one in terms of lying.

Yeah...this year.

  Another thing I was thinking about,

the number of total voters for the democratic party seems to outnumber the total voters in the GOP.  I mean total voters not necessarily percentages.  I suspect that because the GOP is so disenfranchised right now we will have a democratic president in 2008. 

Thanks to W, for making every Republican look bad and for screwing the country over yet again is what I keep thinking.

  What if we are not concerned with social issues?  I am more concerned with economic issues, financial issues, and the War of terror.  I am not as concerned with abortions, gay rights, or any of that in particular but it does affect our freedom.  Romney was a horrible fake candidate, Huckabee is to religious and lets his faith guide his actions which terrifies me. 

Why would you blame someone for staying in the race?  Shouldnt they have the right to until the nominations are finished?  Don't you like the way democracy works?

Is there any significant difference between Huckabee and Romney?

Huckabee Pluses
Guns
Abortion

Romney Pluses
No amnesty for illegals
Somewhat better foreign policy ideas

[lupinus]

Romney changed his positions;

If he ever makes it to the white house, or at least a position where he can prove this, I'll be happy to say I was wrong about him.

But it's all to common after a lifetime of actions to suddenly change your tune during an election only to relapse as soon as you win.

  I personally feel that you are wrong about abortion and Huckabee.  I also think that they both have scrwed up foreign policies.  But I think that the amnesty for no illegals is also wrong. I dont think giving amnesty is the best idea, but changing economic policy to stop them from desiring to come is an excellent idea.
