- ThaddeusB, on 11/26/2007, -15/+20Its a sad day when RP supporters have nothing better to do than sit around constantly refreshing Huck's page just so they can be the 1st to digg his blog posts and put nasty descriptions on them. However, it is clear why they are so afraid of Huck - he can actually win unlike their guy!
- eksai, on 11/26/2007, -11/+12you honestly believe American people will elect a religious nutjob into office that will preach from the white house? Way to be delusional.
As far as refreshing goes...negative ghost buster, just followed a link- ThaddeusB, on 11/26/2007, -9/+10LOL! You think RP can win and I'm delusional! Sorry to inform you but 80-90% of this country is Christian - thats a whole lot of us "nut jobs"
PS If you don't think Huck can win, why are you trolling his blog posts?- nthegardn, on 11/27/2007, -5/+3Again, I agree with you ThaddeusB. You sure speak the TRUTH!

Perhaps he cares about his country enough to warn others when he sees an upcoming despot running for election? - afruff23, on 11/27/2007, -2/+5That number is BS. Most of those people aren't even practicing, and a lot are never voting Republican. Most people don't want an evangelical in the White House.
- Herkimer56, on 11/27/2007, -4/+2Even fewer people want a right wing extremist, white supremacist in the White House. That's why Ron Paul has no chance at all.
- LuaPron, on 11/27/2007, -2/+1There are a hell of a lot of people who want to see a president that has been consistently grandstanding against war and undermining our liberty. I think those issues are big problems for any candidate, but apparently, the majority of Americans aren't bothered too much by the people who vote for the patriot act and war funding.
Personally, I would rather see a [X] supremacist extremist in the white house than a man who seeks to [continue to] fight wars and undermine our liberties. Peace and liberty are more important than personal flaws.
That said, the claims about racism are more smear than factual. The claim rests purely on a single article in a newsletter with statements that are totally inconsistent with the view expressed in just about every other published speech Ron Paul has ever made. It seems to me that you and many like you would run with any perceived flaw and present it as damning evidence, totally ignoring both context and inconsistency.
Its pretty damn easy to smear him for what various groups of supporters believe. Its much harder when the smear is rejected and you are presented with the reasons some group of people support the guy.

- bpassmore, on 11/26/2007, -14/+16Yes, we are preparing an Army of sorts. We will hit the ground running when the time is right and surprise everyone that discounted us.
The type of influence that the Ron Paul guys are affecting is vitriolic at best. They do not have a leg to stand on. Ron Paul has been in office for what 22 years? WHAT HAS HE GOTTEN ACCOMPLISHED? In 22 years, what can you point at as his accomplishments? Zero. He is known as Dr No on the Hill. That is gridlock looking for a place to happen. But, we do not have to worry about that - Ron will not make it through the primaries because his supports are turning everyone off. On the other hand, Huckabee was a Republican Gov and a democratically controller legislature. Even in that environment, he still accomplished a great many things. He brought the educational system in Arkansas further in 5 years than the previous 50 years, and according to Truckers, Inc he was able to resurrect a failing transportation system quicker than they ever thought possible. Arkansas is a better state because of Mike Huckabee – America will be a better nation because of Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee is the most electable - his grass-roots efforts are translating into actual results, whereas Ron Paul's are just alienating themselves and others by there crass and rude behavior.- manicmarvin, on 11/26/2007, -11/+10Gridlock is good. Huckabee's Privates should bone up on their Montesquieu, Locke, Jefferson, etc. Try reading a book other than the Bible for a change.
- ilikemike, on 11/27/2007, -4/+3You had me from the moment you called me a moron! Uh, maybe not. Plan B - don't put off half of the voting public and offend the other half.
- janeuner, on 11/26/2007, -8/+9His accomplishments are far and few between....but he was right nonetheless.
We are not voting for a man - we are voting for an idea. If you can produce arguments that suggest that Huckabee's ideas are right and Paul's ideas are wrong, you will have many of Paul's supporters ready to debate and consider your arguments. But attacking the messenger? Ad Hominem will get you nowhere.
Case in point - Paul says the federal gov't should not be in education. I am glad Huckabee's state gov't could prove him correct.- ThaddeusB, on 11/26/2007, -5/+7Um, since when is supporting education at a state level "federal"
- janeuner, on 11/26/2007, -6/+6Re-read and try again. Huckabee's success in education as governor has zero application in the federal gov't.
- ThaddeusB, on 11/26/2007, -5/+7Um, since when is supporting education at a state level "federal"
- manicmarvin, on 11/26/2007, -11/+10Gridlock is good. Huckabee's Privates should bone up on their Montesquieu, Locke, Jefferson, etc. Try reading a book other than the Bible for a change.
- ThaddeusB, on 11/26/2007, -8/+14I also find it funny this RP supporter casts an army as something bad.
- afruff23, on 11/27/2007, -3/+6Because you're glorifying war at the expense of American soldiers, our national security, and our falling dollar.
- MoniqueMoniCat, on 11/26/2007, -8/+6Mike Huckabee is surely getting popular, from what I see other candidate's supporters are coming into the Huckabee blogs, investing their energy and valuable clicks. Thanks!
VIVA MIKE HUCKABEE!
Here's how it's going to go down, note the date being weeks ago and it's coming to fruition as we speak with Huckabee now the highest ranking in the polls of all the Republicans against Hillary:
"Given Rudy's emerging ethical problems stemming from all things Kerik, the last thing he needs right now are for the evangelical base to think they can unite behind a true believer in the fast rising Huckabee. Yes, Romney has money and organization, but he is blowing through that cash at a high rate. And a large part of Romney's evangelical support results from being seen as the less-than-perfect but most likely Anyone But Rudy candidate. But if Huckabee suddenly emerges as a real alternative for the remaining uncommitted evangelicals to unite behind, then Giuliani may find himself with a re-energized evangelical base opposing him, especially after Rudy loses both Iowa and New Hampshire as they head south. If Dobson and the rest of the uncommitted evangelical leadership feel Huckabee gives them a new chance to control the nomination, then the GOP race shifts [to Huckabee]."

http://www.blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive ... - CongressCritter, on 11/27/2007, -4/+7Rev. Huckabee is a warmongering neo-con.
What better words than "Army", "Rangers" etc can you use to describe what his campaign is about?
Well, besides Theocracy. - afruff23, on 11/27/2007, -3/+8If Huckabee has got such a great grassroots following, then where's the money? Where are the straw poll wins? Where are the text message poll wins? Where are the online wins? Furthermore, his whole viability depends on Iowa. If he loses there, he's done for. It's obvious that Dr. Paul is the grassroots sensation of this election cycle.
- ThaddeusB, on 11/27/2007, -8/+1Money isn't everything. Many have tried to buy elections, but few have succeeded - I' take the candidate with the better message over the one with more money any day. In regards to user self-selected polls, I will simply say that most of Mike's support is very new. And in regards to his need to win Iowa, I'll point out that even your assertion is true, at east he has one more viable path than RP does.
- afruff23, on 11/27/2007, -2/+4RP has a good surge in NH and SC. AL possibly too.
- afruff23, on 11/27/2007, -1/+4I forgot about NV, there is definitely something brewing there.

- Slightfade, on 11/27/2007, -3/+8Huckabee is a proven thief and vandal. He paid the fine!
Can't vote for another crook..... - WTC7WasPulled, on 11/27/2007, -3/+5Mike Huckabee would be probably the worst choice ever. Even worse than Bush in many respects. We would have never ending war.
Ron Paul is the only answer. Ron Paul.

http://teaparty07.com- Herkimer56, on 11/27/2007, -5/+3I'm not supporting Huckabee but I can't imagine a worse choice for President than Ron Paul. He's done nothing of note in his Congressional career except to totally fail to fix any of the many problems that he likes to complain about incessantly. Add to that his supporter base which comes from the far right fringe where the government haters, conspiracy theorists, white supremacists and neo-nazis dwell and you have a candidate that is totally unfit to be President.
