I have a list too. ;)

All your Ron Paul are belong to us.

It’s strange, because in my travels around the blogosphere I’m just not seeing anywhere near the level of support for Huck that the polls indicate. Not even close.

He’s gonna fall.

Over half of the Republicans I’ve talked to are for Fred Thompson.

Mitt is the best man in the hunt. Rudy wants my guns, McCain wants amnesty, and Tanc & Hunter are a little too angry. Ron Paul would be a hoot, but the hangover would be a downer. Fred has a good line, but he never ran anything big or had to make a payroll. He needs a little more executive experience.

Mitt is the only one left.

At least we would have no illusions nor be deceived about their goals, motivations, and methods.

Besides, shouldn’t Bill Clinton have been reason enough not to elect another President from Arkansas for 100 years?

A little paranoid now, aren’t we?

Ah, good insult. You just shot my entire argument all to pieces with that one. /sarc

Actually, I’d like an Errol Flynn-style Robin hood as president… He’d stand over our enemies, laugh at them, then swing down, kick their @sses, then laugh at them some more. Then have a big feast with lots of ale.

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of Robin Hood, Men in Tights kind of movie analogy.
More like a true Democrat.

An authoritarian candidate and God’s candidate, banning guns and cigarettes and fatty foods and maybe alcohol and God knows what else. No thanks.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease

Be positive:

Vote for Huck, and go to Heaven !!!

Sorry, Huck’s God-given clemency powers only work on rapists/murderers. They get to go to Heaven, because he can feel their innocence in his soul. His soul.

: )

Vote for Huck or go to Hell!

His goodness and mercy has to much of a Robin Hood flare for me.

And Hillary wont give us this?

Yes, she will, and as a result it should re-unite the conservative movement.

If Huck wins the presidency we may wind up with two liberal parties, (one of them evangelical), and real conservatives will be left to create or adopt a new conservative party. A Huck presidency, (or a Rudy, IMO), may be the catalyst that leads to a multi-party system in America. If evangelicals take over the Republican Party the disaffected members of the coalition will simply have to go elsewhere. I think that the same holds true in reverse with a Rudy presidency. We might end up with two liberal parties, one of them authoritarian, and the religious right will have to find an alternative party.

That’s why I support Fred even though he has some faults, and to a lesser extent Romney. Both of them are doing their level best to appeal to all of the Republican constituencies, unlike Rudy and Huck. I mean, I realize that Rudy and Huck have been pandering, but I don’t think people trust them. Mitt’s been pandering as well, but speaking for myself, I find him much more trustworthy than Rudy and Huck.

Not that it matter. I don’t think any of this will ever be more than theory because I don’t think that the appeal of either Rudy or Huck is broad enough that either can win the White House. I think the conservative movement may survive even if they get the nomination because conservatives will reunite against a Democrat in the White House.

If Rudy/Huck or Huck/Rudy is the ticket in ‘08 I have no idea what will happen. In my opinion it will basically be the worst possible combination and I will vote against it. An authoritarian candidate and God’s candidate, banning guns and cigarettes and fatty foods and maybe alcohol and God knows what else. No thanks.

A day in infamy, because FDR would never be selected or allowed to represent the Democrats of today.

right2bright on December 7, 2007 at 1:27 PM

Sure he would! I think Dems today would gladly overlook FDR’s hawkishness in order to have more of his glorious, glorious socialism. I mean, FDR is STILL managing to spend taxpayer dollars, and he’s been dead for over 60 years! His programs are still redistributing income and growing exponentially every year, and will continue to do so after all of us are dead and gone. What power that man had! He’s the liberals’/socialists’ perfect hero. Nobody even realized he was a socialist at the time because he was freaking brilliant. Yeah, they’d vote for him.

Maybe Fred! sees how the front runner gets the pile on, and he’s using his “strategery” to pull a rabbit out of the hat at the last second to avoid it.

Yeah, I know. Probably not.

I fully agree. If Huck wins, the GOP will think it doesn’t need a real conservative to win the White House, and move further left. If a Dem wins, the GOP will reminded how much it misses conservatism, as will the Republican voter base. It’s best to suffer for a few years and remember why a lot of us are sick of Bush. We don’t want amnesty shills, bailers, Dubai dealers, etc.

MadisonConservative on December 7, 2007 at 12:01 PM

What happened to all of the rhetoric that we ought to all support “moderate conservatives” over democrats because they will keep people like Hillary from holding power? I don’t mean to attribute that argument to you, madison, but that’s all I heard when refusing to support Rudy two months ago. “Who’d you rather have, Rudy or Hillary?”

What makes great sense, is a congress that actually fights with the president to prevent spending, unlike we had under Bush until recently. What we have had is president signing massive spending bills, and a congress writing them because they were both in the same party and couldn’t argue with each other.

One thing I’ve learned from Huckabee is that Republican candidates I thought there was no way I could accept suddenly look a whole lot more acceptable by comparison.

New campaign slogan for (insert GOP candidate name here):

At least I’m not Huckabee!
