CNN Debates at Reagan Library
This was basically a sham. We got, literally, 10 minutes of McCain and Romney arguing over semantics. Whether or not Romney used the word “timetable” as a reference to troop withdrawel or a reference to milestones. Is that really what the debate is about? I could have sworn I was watching two high school girls [...]
Ron Paul on Fox and Friends
If you didn’t see it, you missed a good one… [youtube 1CHb8CWw-Q4] This will undoubtedly spark all kinds of debate, and his statement is going to be spun like crazy. Let’s see how many times he’s accused of saying “American Christians are facists.” Of course, that’s not what he said at all. Why would he? [...]
Is Huckabee The Duke or The Dauphin?
Which ever one he is, George W. Bush must be the other. Stay with me for a minute. I caught the end of a pretty bad film version of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” on TV the other day, and I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Huckster Mike Huckabee when watching the con [...]
Dirtiest Player In The Game — Mike Huckabee
Mike Huckabee has just completed his new stable of Four Horsemen. He’s now being endorsed by 16 time World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair–WOOOO! This endorsement by the Nature Boy is enough to complete my heel turn on Huckabee. Flair has been added to the stable, headed up by Huckabee, which also includes noted jobbers Ted [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part IV
McCain’s answer on Vice-Presidential powers was actually pretty funny. “Only one President.” That is a strong answer. Guiliani sounds like he’s pretty comfortable with Cheney’s roll, and Romney is defending G.W. Bush’s use of Cheney, saying it is entirely up to him. If I were President, I’d have the Vice President make sure that I [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part II
Getting a new post going here since they’ve decided to move to domestic issues. Huckabee is now in favor of nationalized health care. Why can’t this just be left up to the individual states? Huckabee buddy, I hate to tell you this, but there is way more money in illness than there is in health [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part I
I DVR’d it, so I’m a little behind. First of all…does anyone actually believe that Fred Thompson is going to run? I just don’t see it happening. Romney won’t address anything in Brownback’s ad, just gives examples that contradict it. It sounds like he may be personally in pro-choice, but governs as pro-life. “I changed [...]
Rejected 2008 Campaign Slogans
I was reading some old posts on the debates and post debate interviews and thought it would be funny to make up some campaign slogans for the Republican candidates. Feel free to play along… Mitt Romney–Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful, I’m also a Mormon. John McCain–Vote McCain! Did I read the queue card right? [...]
Post Debate Coverage Part IV — Huckabee
“Have fun out there?” Geesh…come up with a new question! I really like what Huckabee is saying about the Fair Tax. It actually IS an issue that can bring people together. Of course, Burt and Ernie loved his contrived line about John Edwards. Let’s have a discussion about who had the best sound bite. That’s [...]
Live Blogging of the South Carolina Debate Part III
Last segment… Question 41: McCain wouldn’t torture someone because of world opinion, but he’s sure okay with occupying other countries. Question 42: Guiliani doesn’t want to be responsible…just use “any method you can think of” Question 43: Romney has been diffusing bombs during his time as governor of Massachusetts. And combing his hair. Question 44: [...]
