Zing!

"If we're going to make a mistake right now, let's make it on the side of protecting the American people."

Yeah. Well.
Let's do that right now, by deep sixing Mikey politically, forever -- like we should have done Georgieboy seven or eight years ago.
It will take years -- no, decades -- to regain our lost standing in the international community -- if we ever do.

Strange, and I was always the impression that Huckabee is slightly intelligent. There goes that notion.

Perhaps we should pre-emptively detain future lawbreakers in America too, ya know, just for the hell of it.

(I forgot that American lives are worth more.)

Oh jesus, silly preacher.

Yes, he should have put it into Biblical terms, beginning with:
"Verily, verily. I say unto you. If we let somebody out ..." [etc. in King James' terms]

Why has Brother Michael neglected these golden opportunities? He could use Biblical-term pronouncements to gain credible standing as the holiest-of-all-candidates.

It would have been so easy. So uplifting.

with almost every headline each passing day, Matthew 10:36 becomes, more and more, the only literally true statement in the Bible.

When I heard him speak the words this morning on NPR I thought how banal this man is. Out of a tradition of dogma comes these trite dogmatic statements. So we follow up a president who doesn't read with one who doesn't think. I don't THINK so!

also, in the context of shared responsibility, it is my understanding that there is nothing to prevent the Democratic Party majorities in Congress from passing legislation to specifically defund the maintenance of the prison facility at Guantanamo.

(though, it is also my understanding that the Pentagon/WH could re-allocate funding from other programs to continue it)

So why don't they (the DEMS) do it?

Most dems are still cowards when it comes to fighting the administration.

You're welcome.

It's time to ask Huck and all of the R candidates, except perhaps Ron Paul, if they really want to be like Darth Cheney or Jr.

Huck and Pryor seem to be in a race for the most embarrassing AR politician in the national spot-light since Faubus.

Would be a tough bet if Vegas set up such a possibility.

Perhaps AR could build a little museum for both of them, half pre magna carta, half torture chamber, half dedicated to screaming women who will die in childbirth, and half dedicated to their apocalyptic biblical hopes and vision of the future...

Surely there is a place in the bible that explains four halves..

I don't understand why folks like Huck or Pryor have so much fear of liberty or Habeas Corpus and yet they consider their knee-jerk fears to be an sign of strength.

Even the faith based courts get what our former Gov, current Senator, and President and his AG do not... from the wapo today

Maybe for an encore he'll take a stroll in bagdad and tell us how it's just as safe as walking around in Arkansas.

"Most dems are still cowards when it comes to fighting the administration."

Amen, Crazy Horse, amen!

Huckabee's NEVER been a serious contender, except in his own mind. Let's see: so far, on the national stage, in these debates, he doesn't "believe" in evolution except when he's caught in wanting to legislate religious superstition over science, and then he "sort of" does; he doesn't "believe" in a woman's and her doctor's rights to choose her best medical care without his imposing his religious "morality" on their private reproductive and medical decisions, and; he's all for imprisoning people without acknowledging their Constitutional rights, at Gitmo or anywhere else.

How many brick walls does Huckabee have to hit before he realizes it's over?

He's a non-starter. His horse never left the post.
