But there are, Fred obviously being one of them and, I believe, far and away the best choice. Making a commitment to a candidate like Huckabee because he has a more <em>fervent</em> commitment to the correct side of issues on which <em>all the fervor in the world will not get him one tiny step more forward in those issues than Thompson could get</em> is what makes me see red.

I'm trying. But my evangelical brethren are really, <i>really</i> starting to irritate me. I cannot believe two issues matter more to them than Huckabee's entire miserable, liberal record.

You've been doing great work on the Huckabee thing and I'm glad you're doing it at Ace's where tons of people see it. As I see it the only guy who has any hope of countering Huckabee is Thompson. He needs to light a fast fire. Hi Slu! You’ve been doing great work on the Huckabee thing and I’m glad you’re doing it at Ace’s where tons of people see it.

And before I get any grief, it doesn't show tolerance to tolerate white supremacists. He would destroy the party. There would surely be a 3rd party candidate, handing the election to Hillary! Many Republicans officeholders would not even support their own party's candidate. I can't think of anyone other than Ron Paul who would be a worse disaster than Romney. I think Huckabee is a huckster, but while he would lose, and be a terrible president if he did eke out a win, he would not wreck the party. Romney would, as well as further cement some black and minority notions that Republicans are racists.

As the recent posts on my blog make clear, I'm just as irritated/angry/dumbfounded by Huckabee's rise. Good post, Anwyn.

I don't identify well with the two major parties, but I'm a realist when it comes to voting -- a Libertarian vote is a wasted vote. So, I basically just choose the person I think will screw up the country less than the other one. It's a tough choice sometimes... heh…Tater, that’s the way I’ve seen every presidential election since I was of age in the early 90s.

The top four candidates just plain suck. Rudy, I'm a Democrat in GOP clothing; Flip-flop Romney; Yukabee who strikes me as a crossbreed between Carter and Clinton, and finally the ultimate RINO, McCain. I've voted in every Prez election since 1980, but it's gonna be hard to motive myself to get out this year. Basically boils down to voting for someone who sucks, or for someone who sucks more. What kind of F*ck Up election is that. What the F*ck happened to the GOP??? We really don't deserve the white house, not with that piece of Sh*t line up. Here's to an outside prayer that Thompson or Hunter will pull off a miracle. Later Yeah, I’m about to give up hope on the GOP this year. The top four candidates just plain suck.

All this smokescreen thrown up by disgruntled "base" is going to lose the election for us. I say to hell with the "base". If they want to lose that badly, they can leave the party for all I care. I won't support an empty suit like Huckabee, a liar and huckster like Romney, or a RINO like McCain. Rudy, while not my perfect candidate, is our best bet, and he'll be conservative on appointing judges, which is all that really matters with a Democrat congress in charge.
