Go ahead AP, kick me in the Malkins while I am down!
conservnut on January 22, 2008 at 10:52 PM
where was Fred in polls just before the Huck surge?
jp on January 22, 2008 at 10:53 PM
AP, as the Observing Editor, I am hereby declaring a moratorium on “cratered.” It is now officially overused.
Anwyn on January 22, 2008 at 10:55 PM
Fred for Supreme Court Justice.. Fredalanche!!!
whiskeytango on January 22, 2008 at 10:56 PM
Wow, can you imagine the meltdown on the left if that happened?
conservnut on January 22, 2008 at 10:58 PM
If nothing else came of Fred’s candidacy, at least he mortally wounded the Huckster’s.
Fred was far and away the best candidate, just not the best politician, because he refused to pander, refused to play the media games, and told the truth.
While the other douchebags signed pledges they have no chance of ever keeping, or promised constitutional amendments that have no chance of ever passing, Fred told it the way it was, offered detailed solutions, and gave his honest assessment.
He will be missed.
As for the Huckster, and his “decent and honest campaign” (his words), I believe the 9th Commandment says something about bearing false witness.
Your day of reckoning is coming.
bigred on January 22, 2008 at 10:58 PM
Alas.
Of course, in my case, it was more platonic.
Weight of Glory on January 22, 2008 at 10:58 PM
I guess the Fred! just wasn’t willing to get into the gutter. Too bad, our loss.
stonemeister on January 22, 2008 at 11:02 PM
Godspeed Fred…
Verbal Abuse on January 22, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Believe me, I know a lot of FredHeads and they all say NO to Huckabee.
Oink on January 22, 2008 at 11:07 PM
A true Fred Head will never for the liberal, pandering, blasphemous douchebag Huckster. NEVER.
bigred on January 22, 2008 at 11:10 PM
Socialcons are on the way out of the Republican Party… Where will they go? Ron Paul 3rd party…

afterdarknesslight on January 22, 2008 at 11:14 PM
South Carolina was going to ruin either Huckabee or McCain. It may as well have been Huckabee in an evangelical garden…makes the grave even that much deeper.
SouthernGent on January 22, 2008 at 11:18 PM
Well, nationally speaking, it’s pretty clear that from September to December, Huckabee steadily chipped away at Thompson.
None of the other candidates moved much. Is there any other way to account for this?
I think FredHeads may have to accept that Fred attracted a more complex set of adherents, at least early on, than we can see in our sheltered blog world.
viking999 on January 22, 2008 at 11:18 PM
Stop the sniveling you bunch of quivering queenies. Buck up. Face reality. The Fred is no longer with us. Snap out of it!
Time to regroup and form a new battle plan:
Romney is the only candidate we can throw our support behind. Sure, he’s far from perfect but, unlike McQueeg, he isn’t followed by a boxcar of baggage containing dirty anti-Republican, anti-conservative laundry.
Does he have a checkered past? Questionable statements, decisions and policies? Yep. Then again, he was a Republican adrift in the cesspool of Massachusetts liberalism. He did what he could to survive there and still managed to implement a marginally conservative agenda. Hell, I give him credit just for that.
Rudy is dead in the water. Sorry, Rudyheads, but now you’ll get a chance to drink the bitter gall we Fredheads just quaffed. Tastes crappy, no? Get used to it. The Lisper is hithtory.
McQueeg must be stopped at all costs. We must work together and work hard against him. I want to see his poll numbers go down faster than Larry Craig in a Minnesota men’s room. McCainius delenda est.
As for Chef Squirrel-ar-dee, you can count on him to run a scorched earth stalking horse campaign against Romney. That oily, unctuous bigot will happily flush his country’s future down the toilet if it means taking a heathen Mormon with him. Huckabeus delenda est.
The challenge, my friends, will lie in countering the surge of bigotry that will spring forth from those of our evangelical conservative brethren who profess a less than tolerant view of Mormon folk. We must do all that we can to persuade then that, if elected, Romney will not actually erect a statue of Brigham Young on the White House lawn or decree that polygamy is the law of the land.
We may have a chance if Mitt is the nominee – even if his first name is Willard.
Buck up, troops. This is gonna be a long, hard, slog and we still have nine months to go.
NemoParticularis on January 22, 2008 at 11:20 PM
From the article: “Fred’s candidacy was bigger than him.”
I think Mary Matalin’s got it right.
Nevicata on January 22, 2008 at 11:28 PM
Jimmy Carter II has no chance now that Fred! pummeled him in the SC debate. For that I am truly grateful.
Now it is time to back Mitt to the hilt to end Mr. ‘I spit on Republican values every damn chance I get’ McLair’s bid.
SimplyKimberly on January 22, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Lovin’ it.
CliffHanger on January 22, 2008 at 11:32 PM
Remember right after Fred finally anounced his run..Huckabee challenged him to a one on one debate and fred(scared out of his mind)refused!
HaraldHardrada on January 22, 2008 at 11:32 PM
And now, a trip down Memory Lane is all you got left…
CliffHanger on January 22, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Great rant.
I’m doing my part. Spread the word.
Mcguyver on January 22, 2008 at 11:36 PM
Too much was expected of Fred. Some thought of him as a Reagan. The mantle was just too big. That being said…Fred was a conservative and ran an honest campaign. Even though he lost, at least he never lost his class.
Now I believe it’s time we push Mitt to the top to give McCain the black eye he’s been deserving for years!
CABE on January 22, 2008 at 11:36 PM
NO to Huck and NO to McCain!
MITX on January 22, 2008 at 11:37 PM
HaraldHardrada, you have a new friend here – name is NemoParticularis. Fight!
Entelechy on January 22, 2008 at 11:37 PM
Someone has to face the valley
Rush in! We have to rally and win boys
When the world is saying not to
By God, you know you’ve got to march on, boys
Never hold back your step for a moment
Look alive! Oh, your courage will grow
Yes, it’s higher and higher and into the fire we go
Into fire!
Onward, ho!
Percy on January 22, 2008 at 11:38 PM
You should be so ashamed of yourself. First you picked Fred who obviously had a losing campaign from the start.
But unlike the Fredheads, you went from the frying pan into the fire when you jumped on the Huck camp.
Are you Jim Pinkerton, by any chance?
Mcguyver on January 22, 2008 at 11:39 PM
Hell no, he’s Huckabee himself.
Entelechy on January 22, 2008 at 11:42 PM
A very sober analysis. Right now McCain is winning by default and without some serious banding together, he’s going to slip over the finish line.
TheBigOldDog on January 22, 2008 at 11:45 PM
You need to convince this Fredhead…. and probably a lot more than just myself.
Having said that, I am listening. But I am not a fool.
Well, unless you listen to Haraldhaharra. Or whatever.
wccawa on January 22, 2008 at 11:45 PM
If he’s Reverend Huckabee why don’t I see a cross behind him. Or a bookcase or something?
Tuco on January 22, 2008 at 11:47 PM
Tsk, enchilada. It would be callous and downright ungentlemanly for me to pummel and thrash poor Harry, especially since it may have the salutary effect of jostling him out of the fantasy he has of being called on stage to play dueling gee-tars with President Chef Suirrel-ar-dee at the Inaugural Ball hoedown.
Note: that’s ‘hoedown’ – not to be confused with Monica Lewinski after having fallen to the Oval Office floor.
NemoParticularis on January 22, 2008 at 11:47 PM
The fact that you were a Fredhead tells me clearly you are no fool. But it is what it is, wicca. And we have to play the cards we are dealt. I have thought long and hard about this and I’m willing to throw the dice on Romney’s political conversion.
In this case, the POTENTIAL devil that we do not know is far more preferable to the actual, verifiable devil we DO know.
NemoParticularis on January 22, 2008 at 11:51 PM
This will take time. And a lot of thought.
You understand, I think. My loyalties are not tied to the end of a windvane.
wccawa on January 22, 2008 at 11:55 PM
Then let us band together.
We few, we happy few, we band of conservative brothers;
For they to-day that throw in their lot with me
Shall be my brothers; be they ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle their condition:
And gentlemen in America now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us to save our republic on Election Day.
NemoParticularis on January 22, 2008 at 11:57 PM
E, I laughed. I’m sorry.
baldilocks on January 22, 2008 at 11:57 PM
No one who should be President wants to be President
* sigh *
gmoonster on January 22, 2008 at 11:57 PM
Understood. Sleep on it. Pray on it. Most of all, think on it. For what it’s worth, Nemo does not flutter in the wind and has established bona fides here as anything but a flake or a RINO.
We will need you in the fight. I hope to see you in our ranks soon, wicca.
NemoParticularis on January 23, 2008 at 12:00 AM
It’s really, really simple. If conservatives don’t ban together and back Romney we are going to get stuck with McCain. That means we get Hillary-John McCain or Hillary-Rodham Clinton as President. It’s like asking if you want your right eye blinded or your left eye blinded.
TheBigOldDog on January 23, 2008 at 12:01 AM
Go easy, Dog. One fans a dying ember into a roaring fire not with a roaring wind but with a gentle puff of breath.
NemoParticularis on January 23, 2008 at 12:02 AM
All of the libs I’ve talked to out here who back Mubarak Hussein say if hillary is the nominee the one person they would vote for would be Mike Huckabee.
Also don’t forget a lot of libs and independents are opposed to amnesty and would vote for Huckabee if against the amnesty loving dem candidates.
Nominating Juan McShame would guarantee a Hildebeast presidency!
HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 12:04 AM
Sounds like a plan. Giddyup!
Devils we know who WILL sign Shamnesty ’09: McCain, Rudy, Huck.
Potential Devil we hope will NOT: Mitt
And keep your fingers crossed.
fred5678 on January 23, 2008 at 12:06 AM
I meant to say:
Also don’t forget a lot of libs and independents are opposed to amnesty and would vote for Huckabee if against the amnesty loving terrorist loving socialist dem candidates.
HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 12:07 AM
fred5678 on January 23, 2008 at 12:06 AM
Why do you keep saying Huck supports amnesty?

NemoParticularis on January 22, 2008 at 11:47 PM
You don’t know it yet, but you’re both fighting the same fight.
baldilocks, you can laugh – no one laughs more at myself, than self. It makes all other not that relevant.
If you only could see how much I’m laughing here, tears.
This is for you HaraldH – it will remind you of your prominent Norwegian ancestor for whom this was sung when he sailed with a great army to the coasts of Northumberland and he was haunted by bad dreams and evil.
“Westward ho, with noise and rattle,
Rushes on the King to battle;
Helter-skelter, hurry-scurry,
‘Tis for me they waste and worry.
Soon my raven’s darling brood
Will fatten on their dainty food,
Tit-bits torn from sailors stricken.
Where I am disasters thicken,
Where I am disasters thicken.”
Entelechy on January 23, 2008 at 12:10 AM
There was a dream, a dying ember
There was a dream, I don’t remember
But I will resurrect that dream
Though rivers stream and hills grow steeper
For here in hell where life gets cheaper
Oh, here in hell the blood runs deeper
And when the final duel is near
I’ll lift my spear and fly
Piercing into the sky and higher
And the strong will thrive
Yes, the weak will cower while the fittest will survive
If we wait for the darkest hour
Till we spring alive
Percy on January 23, 2008 at 12:11 AM
It was the best of times
it was the worst of times,
keep hope alive!
canopfor on January 23, 2008 at 12:16 AM
Huck is a shuck.
He’ll fade like the sweat on a minister’s lip after the last collection plate is carefully emptied.
McCain, meanwhile, is like gum on your shoe.
Pink and annoying and tenacious.
Time to scrape him off the party he despises.
Let him run as a Dem. They’re promoting him.
Romney-Rudy 2008.
profitsbeard on January 23, 2008 at 12:16 AM
His record in office, not his Johnny-come-lately cribbed “plans”.
Time for some facts:
1. Pushing for in-state tuition for illegals
2. Sitting on his (thinning)arse for 20 months, after he signed the 287(g) bill passed by legislature, without writing the simple, but oh so critical, letter to ICE to actually START the training. His Dem. successor had to write it.
3. Bragging about #2 while lying about it.
4. Offering the Mexican consulate free office space so they could more easily distribute matricula consular cards to illegal aliens.
His heart is not in it – he sympathizes with the poor children of illegal aliens instead of enforcing the law.
fred5678 on January 23, 2008 at 12:20 AM
Hell, I could have written that article last summer. Well, I supposed I did in a way.
Fred didn’t want it.
Jeri was in the way.
Fred had to be cajoled into running.
etc, etc, etc….
csdeven on January 23, 2008 at 12:20 AM
No joke. Of course Fred did some good in the end, taking out the knees of Huckabee.
Spirit of 1776 on January 23, 2008 at 12:21 AM
No, it’s time to enlighten you.
Hucksterocchio has had this, where he sounds more like Tom Tancredo than Tom Tancredo sounds like Tom Tancredo on his web site for weeks.
Huckabee on illegal “immigration” from his web site
but this is his “soul” as already revealed before God!:
“Immigration bill un-Christian, anti-life, governor says Friday, Jan 28, 2005
By Doug Thompson
Arkansas News Bureau
LITTLE ROCK – Gov. Mike [Tysons Foods] Huckabee Thursday denounced a bill by Sen. Jim Holt that would deny state benefits to illegal immigrants as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life.”
You can not reconcile the two. No way, no how. It can not be done!
The man is a pathological lier.
MB4 on January 23, 2008 at 12:22 AM
I find a 125psi air compressor works quite well. The time for lips or bellows has passed. Besides, subtlety isn’t my thing ;)
TheBigOldDog on January 23, 2008 at 12:23 AM
Entelechy on January 23, 2008 at 12:10 AM
You keep talking about the events leading up to his death but you skip the important part..
“King Harald then was in a rage, and ran out in front of the array, and hewed down with both hands; so that neither helmet nor armour could withstand him, and all who were nearest gave way before him. It was then very near with the English that they had taken to flight.
Harald was said to have raged like a beserker until he, too, was killed by an arrow in the throat”.
“Where battle-storm was ringing, The foeman
feel its bite; Where arrow-cloud was singing, His Norsemen rush to fight,
Harald stood there, Danger to share, Of armour bare, With Harald there,
His deadly sword still swinging. Where steel on steel was ringing.”
HaraldHardrada on January 23rd, 2008 at 12:23 am
HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 12:26 AM
Or perhaps a bit of bovine flatus?
Tennman on January 23, 2008 at 12:26 AM
When the big old dog barks, sometimes he doesn’t even need to bite.
Exactly! Only thing left is to make excuses and slur other candidate’s religion. You stay classy, Mike Huckabee.
Spirit of 1776 on January 23, 2008 at 12:28 AM
Dude, it’s cool. I understand your point. I also understand his.
It’s gonna take some time… I ain’t no rookie here. But I almost wish that I was. Lay off. Relax. We’ll see where there the threads lead.
wccawa on January 23, 2008 at 12:29 AM
“We”? I do not doubt you mean well and hope to fire up the troops, but I am not a Republican — I am a conservative. I will not automatically jump to the next Republican who might win. I owe no one a vote, they have to earn it , and so far no one else has. Sorry.
Likewise you can not assume all the Fredheads will roll into his camp or any other. Some will of course, some wont however.
IMHO: The electorate just did not want the hard choices of a genuine conservative. That and I think Bush seriously hurt conservatism in general, just by claiming to be one.
For now, the truth is that you can’t out liberal a liberal. So Huck and McCain can’t beat Obama or Hillary. I do not think you can out moderate a liberal either… so I am not sure of Mitt, even less of Rudy. maybe with Hillary to polarize, but probably not against Obama — we will see.
Sometimes it takes a Carter, to give you a Reagan however. So I will wait through Obama’s spectacularly painful 4 years if he wins, and hope that another genuine conservative gets the chance to make a difference again afterwards.
But I do wish you well, and good luck to your candidate.
/and so the cycle goes
TCJ on January 23, 2008 at 12:44 AM
Thank you Fred for forcing us to focus on some important issues, but especially for kneecapping the Huckster. Best wishes to Fred & his beautiful family.
Now, Go Romney!
Security Mom on January 23, 2008 at 12:48 AM
Now, go convince HaraldHardrada of that.
Entelechy on January 23, 2008 at 12:52 AM
Amen to that, Mom. I really never realized how conservative I am in the minds of others. Sometimes, it takes a Fred.
a poignant haiku:
Fred, with bat in hand
Kneecaps Tax Hike Mike
Reaganism lives?!
LickyLicky on January 23, 2008 at 12:54 AM
I am an evangelical Christian by most people’s description, but when I see Yuckabee, I smell peanuts. Let me explain if you don’t understand that reference. It refers to “peanut-brain” Jimmy Carter, who was probably the worst president this country ever had. Does anyone else remember the $50.00 rebate that he sent to all taxpayers to stimulate the economy during the stagflation of the late seventies. Wage freezes and gas lines that would quit. I didn’t vote for him and I won’t vote for Yuckabee either, because I don’t trust him any more than I would trust the Devil himself.
McCain is a traitor to his party and no one should vote for him just because he was a POW in Vietnam. What has he done to help the Republican cause since then? His 83 ACU rating is for just last year when he began running for president and was trying to con the uninformed conservatives as to his conservative credentials. What was his rating before 2007? He is against free political speech with his consorting with the enemy Feingold and even though he says he now gets it on immigration, HE STILL DOESN’T GET IT. He’ll do a little enforcement and then say now we have to be charitable to the illegal aliens and give them a path to citizenship because we have now done the enforcement bit and NOW you can trust the government to continue to enforce the laws. HA HA You can’t trust the government for anything hardly. They can’t even fight a war to win it.
TruthToBeTold on January 23, 2008 at 12:59 AM
MB4 on January 23, 2008 at 12:22 AM
You’re misconstruing the story and only telling part of it.
To think that you won’t support Mike Huckabee because you think he is for amnesty(even though he is the only candidate with no amnesty as central part of his platform) is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard…
Now tell the truth… you hate Huckabee because you are an atheist!
HaraldHardrada on January 23, 2008 at 12:59 AM
This solidifies the fact that you are both unfamiliar with MB4 and unfamiliar with M.Huckabee.
Spirit of 1776 on January 23, 2008 at 1:14 AM
Fred’s contributions to this primary season have been a God send to the republican party. He certainly moved the candidates to the right and exposed HuckaBigot for the disgusting sycophant that he is.
IMO, Huck will lose. McShamnesty will implode. And we will have the two most palatable choices left to choose from.
csdeven on January 23, 2008 at 1:14 AM
You two need an atheist/theist thread just for the both of you.
HH, on your ancestor’s comment, above. I know he lost the final battle, but he did fight hard and win many before. Few know much history, though. Your ‘love’ for Huckabee will also not encourage them to look into it.
Entelechy on January 23, 2008 at 1:15 AM
That’s my Spirit – nailed it!
Entelechy on January 23, 2008 at 1:16 AM
I did not misconstrue anything and yes there is more, it gets cumulatively worse. You just can’t handle the truth.
Are you daft? Given what he has said and done before, and with no explanation for an across the board total 180 change of his “soul” he has no credibility with his purloined anti amnesty sermon. I doubt that he even knows half of what’s in it.
Another illogical claim on your part as I like Mitt. Of course I suppose The High Reverend Huckster would say that’s because the Morons worship the Devil.
MB4 on January 23, 2008 at 1:17 AM
I feel your pain. But anyone except Mitt is much more likely (or guaranteed!) to sign Shamnesty ’09, and that (as McCain is so fond of saying), my friends, is PERMANENT.
Up to 30 million illegal aliens given permanent residency after a one business day waiting period for DHS to do ‘thorough’ background checks and health checks, followed by a pathway to citizenship. Permanent. Think about that.
And another 30 million waiting to cross to fill their slots in villages like this.
What we need is law enforcement, as is working in 4 states so far. We need a fence, dammit, but we have to stop offering rewards of residency if the flood is to ever stop.
I have donated to Tancredo, Hunter, and then Thompson. Mitt is my (and your) last chance to stop it.
fred5678 on January 23, 2008 at 1:18 AM
Ah. If you don’t like my candidate, you don’t believe in God.
Cute. Now go to hell.
MadisonConservative on January 23, 2008 at 1:33 AM
Madison, are you an atheist, like MB4?
HH, do you know apacalyps?

That’s funny. I “hate” him because I’m a conservative Christian.

I’m already on the bus.. at some point, can we stop in VA and pick up teh Fred?
stlpatriot on January 23, 2008 at 1:40 AM
No, I hate Huckabee because he’s a liberal and hides behind a Bible when he gets criticized, which doubly pisses me off because he’s harming christianity in the process.
doubleplusundead on January 23, 2008 at 1:43 AM
Someone should have kicked Fred in the ass and told him to grow a pair. I emailed daily for him to go on the Michael Savage show and prove he had what it took. Short answer; he didn’t. It’s time for fred to vanish into obcurity where he belongs.
Go Mitt GO!
HotAirExpert on January 23, 2008 at 1:45 AM
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to

Dammit, there I go with quotes again…I’m turning into MB4.
doubleplusundead on January 23, 2008 at 1:46 AM
No Huck!
No McCain!
GO Mitt or Rudy! (in that order)
xplodeit on January 23, 2008 at 1:47 AM
I concur. Huck peaked in Iowa, as shown by his inability to get even a majority of EC’s in Michigan. He is spent.
McCain, my head tells me, will not fair as well as he has as we move into the states with more R’s and less I’s. If Rudy can tap into his security con base, we might avoid what I think were the two worst candidates of this cycle.
The man seems confused on a lot of things. At least I can help clear up the obvious:)
Spirit of 1776 on January 23, 2008 at 1:47 AM
You mean he’s religious? Ah, I finally get it. hehe
whiskeytango on January 23, 2008 at 1:47 AM
Got to shake my head…….he wanted VP, he wanted to support McCain, he wanted to bag Huckashuck for everyone….
Elvis was seen in a saucer, Ghandi killed Kennedy, and ‘When Worlds Collide’ is stone cold fact.
I believe it…..Huck took the position that Thompson wanted and he didn’t plan on that. Call it poor judgement, or poor staffing, or whatever….Fred is out and now we get to choose between luke warm, tepid, and stone cold.
We are getting what we paid for…….a snowball’s chance in hell.

Ms E……not to pull the thread sideways, but my GGGGfather started the first Baptist church in Carolina. There is even a statue to the gentleman in the state. From Carolina, to Tennessee, to Illinois, to Arkansas, to Texas, to California, I have a claim to Baptist Popery!
That said…..I picked the wrong horse. It is that simple.
No biggie. Fred couldn’t cut it. Now I have to look at Romney, then Rudy (I can’t spell Guiliani either, hell I can’t spell anything), then McNuts. All will be OK. My electric bill will still arrive and beer will still be available at 7-11.

Of course I go most by “What has been the previous record of immigration actions while in elected office” as I put a lot of stock in “Watch what they do, not what they say”.

Lim, then all’s well. You from 7/11, MB, the microbrew, and the sun will still rise in the East. Glad you’re practical abuot it.
MB, on the promises Mitt’s the same with Huck. The past record is more telling than all the promises in the world.
Worst in all 3 categories – in our faces McCain.

Heh, we typed concurrently, trying to say the same…great minds think alike, poor ones go under together.

But do we believe that Mitt can beat O’bama, or Chillary?
Right now I wouldn’t bet on him beating O’bama.

Newp. Atheists tend to annoy me as much as HolyHalfwit does.
If I had to peg my religious affiliation, it would have to be Jedi.

Exactly. Can I ask one favor of you? The word liar is spelled l.i.a.r. (or H.U.C.K.A.B.E.E.), whichever you prefer. ;)
