Where "poof of air" = exit polls
And "results" = election fraud in Florida and Ohio

"I love my parents a lot. But I don't want to move back in with them."
-- Chelsea Clinton, not headed back to the White House
(2/14/2008)
Yes, that's quite a chuckle. Fortunately, when you work for a hedge fund, as Chelsea does, you're seldom faced with having to move back home. More likely, she owns your home. These are the values instilled by her parents, teary eyed champions of the downtrodden.

Harry Ried should be tried for criminal charges as should all the good ole boys & girls (Senators) who voted in favor of this bull shit law.

These guys and gals work over time kissing our little idiots wants. We need Mr. Webb for a leader in the senate and Ried needs to get the hell out of the way, what awast of time. Now lets see if Nancy girl rolls over to................

So Senator Dodd, does this mean you've ruled out endorsing Hillary Clinton? I can't see how you could not condemn her for skipping the vote since she was in town and already gave winning the Potomac Primaries. At least Obama found time to vote. Maybe now would be a good time to recognize a true leader, not someone who's afraid to make the tough choices.

I hope the Huckster didn't allow any capital punishments when Gov. of Arkansas.
He would go to the other end of made up fairy land...the fiery part.

One wonders what Huckabee's recommendation would be for not attending church or not "honoring" one's parents (just what would legally constitute not "honoring" them?).. Lookslike we atheists are in for trouble on Huckabee's Law #1. Oh yeah, then there would have to be jail time for lying and infidelity in addition to murder and stealing. What a lunatic!

Matthew 22:36-40

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Huckabee must have one of those evangelical bibles that end at Leviticus and pick up again at Revelation.

- po I'm a Fan of po permalink

Yeah, 10 basic laws, one of which is "thou shalt not kill." Last I checked, there were none of those loosey-goosey exceptions to that law. Nope, none for Islamofascitst or Iraqis or Iranians or US citizens, for any reason. So, until he can advocate following each and every one of those 10 simple laws, he's not fit to be President (putting aside the issue of whether he's fit to uphold the Constitution, rather than the New Testament, at all).

There are only ten basic laws according to Huckabee - but there could be fewer - according to George Carlin....

Is Huck scary or what. I hope McCain takes him as his running mate.
