32. Um. Not.
I'm pretty sure the American electorate has had enough of bullshit fundie sanctimony as substitute for actual working government, at least for the next generation or so.

38. Sadly,
there are millions of people who will put the abortion issue and/or personality above all else.

39. Happily,
there are millions more who won't. Single-issue voters didn't swing the election in '00 or '04, and they won't in '08. Abortion is far down the list of most important issues for the vast majority of U.S. voters.

27. That is my fear as well. But, it remains to be seen.
Jesus. The thought of President Huckabee is even more scary than Bush.

34. That's my feeling, too.
President Huckabilly would be as bad as President Bush.

But if he gets the nomination, he will be a most formidable opponent...

16. Again proving just how wacko the pukes are
Huckabee is pure wackjob. But he says all the right things that the wack jobs want to hear. That is truly scary.

20. Looks like the Huckster's decision to leave Iowa & go on Leno's show last night didnt hurt him a bit
The Huckster will be strumming a little Freebird tonight, that's for sure.

35. Good, let the narrow-minded Bible thumper take the GOP nomination.
The majority of this nation is fed up with religious despots.

36. I sincerely hope you're right
and that Huck doesn't bamboozle the entire nation with the same "aw shucks" good ol'-boy schtick a certain fucktard fooled so many people with in 2000 and 2004.

Religious fruitcakes still play big in much of the country.

41. They've been played for years and they started realizing it after 2000/2004
They vote together but can they overcome a strong registered Democrat turnout? Very unlikely.

37. Republican meltdown is a lovely thing.
It was supposed to be McCain, but he started to seem kind of angry and demented.
Then it was supposed to be Rudy, but he turned out to be carrying some fairly unpleasant baggage.
Then it was supposed to be Frederick of Hollywood, but he wore the wrong kind of shoes and didn't really seem all that interested in the job.
It was never supposed to be Huckabee. He's just not the right kind of Republican, don't you know.

The GOP race just keeps getting funnier. It will be laughs all the way!
