I've come to the conclusion that Huckabee's crazy, but Romney is SLIMY. Not the same thing.

Human nature makes us want to avoid bug-eyed crazy bastards like Huckabee, but I'm almost beginning to think that Romney's the more dangerous of the two.

Huffington Post has the clip of him calling McCain a liar. He says "HE'S LYING" and the reporter says "Are you calling him a liar" and he says "NO."

EXCUSE me?

1. I have to agree. That's why I hope McCain gets the nomination.
He's the least crazy or slimy of the bunch.

3. Not at all. I'm just not sure they can't steal it.
We're gonna wipe the floor with them. Hanging onto our win is another matter.

4. Huckabee's a smilin' right-wing looney and a liar
MIKE HUCKABEE’S WILLIE HORTON


Republican presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee, the former governor from Hope, Arkansas, is hoping you don’t look in his closet because there's a Willie Horton hiding in there.

Huckabee's Horton, is a monster named Wayne Dumond. A criminal with a long rap sheet of assaults, and sexual molestations, Dumond was an admitted participant in massacre of a Cambodian village when he was stationed in Vietnam. Upon return to the United States, he admitted to participating in a claw hammer murder of a fellow soldier in 1972. Dumond was convicted of sexual molestation of a teen age victim in 1973 and confessed to a rape charge in 1976.

Huckabee, ignoring Dumond’s reprehensible criminal record, bought into the Clinton hating, rightwing, partisans, that were attempting to smear Bill Clinton for the rape of a 16 year old girl high school cheerleader that Dumond kidnapped at knifepoint, raped and terrorized for two days. Dumond was convicted of this crime in 1985 and sentenced to life plus 20 years.
Huckabee worked, against the advice of the parole board and law enforcement officials, to secure Dumond's release from prison. Dumond's 16 year old victim, Ashley Stevens, upon learning of Huckabee's attempts to free her assailant, met with the governor and said she put her face inches from Huckabee’s and said, “This is how close I was to Wayne Dumond. I will never forget his face. And now I don’t want you ever to forget my face.”

Undaunted, governor Huckabee toiled on, eventually securing Dumond's release from prison on the condition that Dumond move out of Arkansas. Dumond complied, and moved to Missouri, where six weeks later he raped and murdered, 39 year-old Carol Sue Shields. Dumond was convicted of Shields’ murder based on DNA evidence. Dumond died, peacefully in his sleep on 9/7/2005, before he could be brought to trial in the rape and murder of a second victim, Sara Andrasek.

Dumond’s murders committed after Huckabee had secured his release from prison resulted in a firestorm of public condemnation. The governor responded to the criticism by denying he had anything to do with turning Dumond loose on the American public, in spite of voluminous testimony to the contrary.

Blind adherence to rigid political ideology, an absolute refusal to accept advice from others and stubborn refusal to accept responsibility for his own actions, has not served George W, Bush well as a President. These shared character defects will not wear well on Presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee either.

Ironically, or perhaps predictably, Huckabee is emerging as the consensus choice among so called Christian Conservatives. Go figure.

6. For me, the distinction between the two is subtle...
...I've read the story you've posted, and I've also taken note of the way Huckabee's "creatively" rewritten his fiscal history. Yes, absolutely, he's a liar.

But Romney's more oily, more slick, more of a snake. Huckabee tries to get by with his "Aw shucks, Aunt Bee, I love me some good barbecue" front, and he's got the religious fanatic layer on top of it, but I see him as crazy coming right out of the gate.

Romney, on the other hand, reminds me of too many of the sleazy managers I've worked for in my career. I've heard things said behind closed doors by the "suits" that would shock the hell out of most people and Romney's one of those guys.

7. Plus Romney can talk more and say less than anybody I've ever heard.

5. I think Romney is on Larry Flynt's list
It's obvious that Romney is a chronic liar, to the point where he cannot help himself. I can't wait to learn the dirt on him.
