Mike Huckabee: Art and music education

[we vs us]

Might have something to do with your mistaken belief that everyone to the right of Nancy Pelosi is RWRE.  You are old enough to remember before the religious zealots hijacked the Republican party.  There are more of us than you think.  We just don't get the press.

Or the votes, sadly.

Why did fiscal conservatives and a party best known for personal responsibility and small government allow the religious right take over their party?

But I cannot fix what's wrong by running away.  Unfortunately, when given the usual offeings of the Democratic Party vs. the Republican Party, I am usually forced to put up with the religious wackos on the right as the lesser of two disasters. (My opinion, I sure your results will vary.)

I wish I knew.  Probably an unholy alliance to beat the left's ideology.

Edit: Also along the lines of the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Former Republican presidential candidate and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has criticized recent Oscar-winner Natalie Portman for being pregnant and unmarried.

The need for ratings has gotten to him.

Red,
Yeah, I remember.  I was a huge supporter of Gerald Ford.  One of the biggest mistakes this country made was not electing him for his own term.  Stupid.  He vetoed more spending bills than any President in history.  In just a couple years.  Can't beat that at all.

Oklahoma had a chance to get rid of one of the worst a while back by voting for Rice, but we went with Inhofe again.  

RM said the Republicans are "known" for personal responsibility and small government.  Well, that is certainly ignoring the last 31 years of history, where the Republicans have put the Democrats to shame by their spending and big government approach.  Took about 200 years to get to $900 billion in debt.  Then 20 to get to 11 trillion.  And now just another 4 (or maybe 8?) to get to 15+ trillion, trying to fix the economic catastrophe of the previous 8.  

Well, it should make for interesting times.

And while everyone digests that, here is the next big catastrophe unfolding.  Every once in a while, when a small number of people get 'all' the money, it becomes like a big monopoly game, and everything comes unraveled.  Economy develops the financial equivalent of vapor lock.  Looks like we may be getting close.  Maybe about Dec 21, 2012??

Lots of noise in RWRE circles about how 'bad' it is when people can vote themselves benefits - well, I have to agree.  When those 1%'ers buy Congress and get them to pass the laws for their benefit, well, it has gotten bad.  But that's what re-distribution of wealth is all about.

Think what you want, I just couldn't vote for Rice over Inhofe.

[heironymouspasparagus]

He could have been just a 'place holder' until the next election, but it would have gotten rid of Inhofe!

Like we have a chance to get rid of Tim Harris and Kurt Glassco every time, but we still keep keeping 'em.  All three cases of the definition of insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results!

You don't understand....   I thought Inhofe was a better choice than Rice.  I don't expect you to agree. There are evidently enough Oklahomans that like Inhofe to keep him in the Senate.

[heironymouspasparagus]

Evidently. 

How sad is that?

[Red Arrow]

Depends on your position. 

You and I obviously disagree on that.

I'd like Nate to provide some examples of Huck's insanity.  I find him rational, engaging, and scary when it comes to numbers.  I'd love to see a debate between him and the teleprompter, or President Obama for that matter. . .eh, whoever shows up.

More Gaspar lunacy regarding a president who is more intelligent and thoughtful than any of the rightwing chattering class nutjobs on this forum.... the only way Huck the healthcare hypocrit wins a debate with Obama is if FOX NEWS asks all the questions.  Besides, I thought Huck was gonna kiss Michelle with tongue after she appeared on his show a few months ago...... 

[heironymouspasparagus]

Only in Huck's dreams.  No one will kiss a face like his.
