That thing was floating around like a ghost before you realize it’s the window. Vote for Huck and GO TO HEAVEN.

Drudge is making hay over the floating cross in the Huck ad

.

I saw that earlier. Much ado about nothing, it seems to me. Sometimes, a window is just a window.

I’m not sure and wouldn’t be surprised if the subliminal message is intentional. Might show up in a political textbook someday.

I pegged Clinton from the first day I heard him….this guy is from the same mold.

Bank it.

.If youthink Huck in insincere.. then your sicerity meter needs recalibration…..

My sincerity meter is just fine. It was set at the factory and is running within .001 percent of specifications.

I used it to try to get a reading on The High Reverend Huckster and nothing whatsoever registered.

I thought there could be a malfunction, so I tested it on a rock and also got nothing. I then tested it on Bill Clinton and got a positive reading. Very small but clearly discernible.

you dont change your views on abortion at age 50… if your pro life just say so.
DarianCounts on December 17, 2007 at 4:05 PM

Why not? Many people do. Many people have, especially with the re-infusion of the issue into national politics through the needle of stem cell research debates. My mother changed for primarily that reason. Why is it impossible for Mitt to have changed for the same reasons she did?

It seems to me that you are assuming a fact that is not yet in evidence.

Kinda silly. After all it is a Christmas card ad

The reason I don’t believe Huck’s sincerity is because his words do not corroborate with reality.

Rudy- No passion & not really a conservative(mildly shady)
Romney- you dont change your views on abortion at age 50… if your pro life just say so.
McCain- at least he believes his own BS
Huck – Sincere/compassionate(could pull some dem’s)
Thompson- he aint takin no sh*t… and he’s doing things his own way.. and has a healthy contempt for Libs
Paul-(he’s Ron paul) ’nuff said
Tancredo- great on immigration… but thats not enough
Hunter-not enough fire..

Dems…. Biden….maybe…but only if he’s runnin against Ron Paul

Anyway, it doesn’t look like Ron Paul has control of this campaign.

He doesn’t have control over the grassroots part, and that’s fine! There is no problem with that whatsoever. If anything it shows how we’ve come full-circle, there was a time when candidates didn’t do any campaigning personally.

Look, everyone has the right to peaceable assemble to petition their government for grievances. This is merely an extension of that. People believe in something bigger than themselves and give their money to it. That doesn’t need to be directed by Paul himself. It’s like someone queried the other day if the blimp was a violation of campaign, the mere question speaks of the absurdity of the question: process for process’s sake.

I’d also say, lets assume a significant percentage of his supporters are truthers, just for kicks. Which do you deem better? That they should engage the system by the system through the system, or they should become anarchists and/or revolutionaries? This is why I don’t favor, as Bryan put in comments to his post this morning, calling him or his supporters ‘cranks’ or as some like ‘morons’. Whatever the realities are, there are a large group of disaffected people out there looking to make a change through the ballot box. Whatever the errors of judgment/understanding/vision, certainly they deserve appreciation for the manner in which they vent their frustrations.

Sure, but it fits the motif. Let the people do what the people want to do to express their desire as long as it doesn’t infringe on others civil rights and not all things need to be under central authority, directed from a titular head. No biggie.

The constitution established a president to be a lot more than a figure head. Anyway, it doesn’t look like Ron Paul has control of this campaign.

I dont think there is a GOP candidate in living memory that I have taken such a visceral and primal HATRED TO as I have for Huckabee.

I lasted all of 5 seconds in his new ad. Thats all the schmaltzy BS I could take. He makes me SICK. I even last a few seconds longer watching a Hillary ad.

Its not that he is evangelical. Its that he OOZES SLEAZE and INSINCERITY. To me.

This whole Huck “surge” has me seriously rethinking the sanity of the entire Republican base. Seriously.

Are you sure it’s not your brain that’s swollen?

Maybe, but that seems counterintuitive to me. Part of his appeal is that he has ‘never’ compromised on big government issues or wasn’t manipulated by Bush as the Dems, esp HC, are fond of claiming.

Spirit of 1776 on December 17, 2007 at 3:04 PM

But he has never met his money bomb designer, nor knows what he is doing until he does it. Paul also didn’t know what Truthers were doing to him, and still doesn’t seem to get it. I get the distinct impression he is just riding a wave and feeling great about it. If that is true, there will be a time he will have to pay the piper.

Both will lose in the general (Rudy becuase the evangelicals will stomp off in a snit and Huck because he simply can’t win by being Mr. Religion) and we will finally have the split between the religious right and the EconConservatives.

Let’s bring the split to a head and let the Democrats run things for a while.
