Based on a quick reading it appears the writer is mocking the Christian belief. This shows a real arrogance. The non believers and the far left are bringing down the democratic party.Elitist bull shit want sell either (News flash)The democrats have already lost the 2012 election. The more I listen to democrats the sicker I get and I hate phony ass Republicans– The truth this country has gone to self center hell- A former democrat now a distressed
citizen who is watching time slip by with nothing or nobody to respect– Religion or beliefs don’t sound that bad asshole

Sheesh. Those boneheads who ostensibly work for US apparently don’t have enough to do in all those extra hours in the year that they spend not working. If the public wants a playoff, they’ll get one.

And we, the American public, are being screwed from both sides of the aisle.

Dickless and That One are alike in two ways: they’re both arrogant and ignorant to a fault. Moreover, they should both stop weakening the nation by opening their gaping pieholes and just shut up.

Well, this is how pathetic congress has become.

H.R. 390: College Football Playoff Act of 2009 – To prohibit, as an unfair and deceptive act or practice, the promotion, marketing, and advertising of any post-season NCAA Division I football game as a national championship game unless such game is the culmination of a fair and equitable playoff system.

In the latest Rasmussen poll, more voters would vote for a “Tea Party,” than for the Republicans. Further, among Independents, The “Tea Party” would garner more votes than either Dems or Gop.

Oh and then that other little thing, that when he left office, Huckabee ordered all computers destroyed wasting and costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars, plus destroying public records.

There is that matter of scrubbing his hard drives if he truly wanted to hide his communications and actions, instead of destroying all the computers.

I share your misgivings about this new escalation in Afghanistan, Tom. But I wouldn’t give Obama much credit for “thinking it out,” since what he said at Westpoint [loaded with contradictions] was basically what he said in March. And saying the President is basically a “decent guy” doesn’t fly for me either. I thought and still believe the same about Jimmy Carter. And he was a disaster in the WH.

And yes, I’ve heard the suggestion about running Cheney in 2012. Are these people insane? Didn’t Cheney do enough damage in 8 years? The Republicans are truly bankrupt if that’s the best they can do. And we, the American public, are being screwed from both sides of the aisle.

i do agree that a one incident of providing clemency for a child criminal that didn’t commit a violent crime would warrant that act. Huckabee would still be responsible for his clemency, but I wouldn’t say at the time it was wrong. It ended up a bad decision, but at the time, given circumstances, it would have been warranted, imo.

But it’s Huckabee’s extreme commutation/pardon/clemency policy that shows real poor decision making. 700 including Dumond, who after release raped and killed again…after lvg AR to MO. What reasons did he do such extreme release of prisoners. Political, religious, what he viewed as a “real” crime, like rape…considering his past views of women.

So, while one incident may not be directly his fault, there is so much more to it/him.

Had another comment swallowed by the spammy monster [or caught in a hiccup]. Please retrieve, if you can.

Thanx.

Comparing Sarah Palin to Barack Obama does not work to her advantage. It was a better argument when she was running for Vice President. But where I come from 1 unqualified candidate + 1 unqualified candidate = 2 unqualified candidates. They don’t cancel one another out. Neither candidate gains by being added nor compared to the other.

One thing we should have all learned from the 2008 primary and general election season is that the cult of personality is a poison pill. Doesn’t matter whether it’s a Dem or a Republican.

I like Huckabee on a personal level, but cannot regard him as a serious candidate.
In fairness to him though, the shorter sentence for Clemmons was recommended by several people at the time, and seems to be reasonable for a non-violent offense.
As to the GOP, hold the tolling bells of mourning. No candidate could bring less to the table than the “Chicago Kid”!
My eye is on Gen. Petraeus for 2012, but he recently negated the notion. Bah humbug!

Dick Cheney’s most recent kvetch? Obama was “dithering” on Afghanistan. Dithering? Pray tell, do my ears deceive me? Barack Obama was “dithering” on whether or not to send an additional thirty-five thousand kids into harms way? He dithered???

Oh! Dastardly Dick! Oh! Vile, deceitful Dickie! If thou had thus dithered, might not thy fellow countrymen and women have awaken this morn to a more content and peaceable homeland? Oh, vile and blundering Dick! Naughty Dick! Thou contemptible rascal!

If you’ve ever read my blog, it’s no secret that it is my profound belief that Obama is committing a monumental mistake by escalating the war in Afghanistan. But let’s give the guy a tip of the hat, okay? At least he had the good sense to think long and hard about what he felt he needed to do – unlike the previous administration that dove head-first and smiling into this quagmire. In spite of my criticism, I believe (I hope) that Barack Obama is essentially a decent guy who means well. As stated previously, it is way too early to give an etched-in-stone assessment of this administration. We need to see where Election Day 2013 finds us. We shall see what we shall see.

At the moment it would seem that Dick Cheney and his disgusting daughter Liz are fast becoming Number One the extreme right’s nitwit Parade. The darling girl is now promoting a movement ( and, PUH-LEEZ, I hope this is true) that would make dear old dad the GOP nominee in 2012. This can’t possibly be, can it? Optimist though I may be, my luck has never gotten this good! Could this merely be a dream from which I am yet to awake? Pinch me, please.

You should read her book. She had tons more executive experience than Obutt, plus integrity, and love of this country.

“that Huckabee is sincere and doesn’t know that our planet is a product of 4 billion years of collisions and blessed chance and that our flora and fauna (including us) are the product of half a billion years of evolution since the Cambrian explosion” — I personally could care less about this kind of intellectual crap. What I do care about is getting a President who loves this country, has common sense, and understands fiscal responsibility — oh, and integrity is a nice attribute to have, these things that have been missing in Washington for a few decades. In areas where Huckabee might lacking, he can hire CZARS to help him out. LOL

Whether Huckabee will run or not, I have no idea and I have no preference. What I am concerned about is getting the idiot Democrats out of Congress as quickly as possible and bring back some balance to our government. If we can do that in 2010, then by 2012 we might be able to work toward getting rid of some corrupt career Republicans. What I’m afraid of is that it will be too late to take our country back from the dictatorship course it’s on and the Republic may be lost to us forever.

Here’s the type of Congressman I’m longing to see representing me (others may not agree):
