Huckabee really is this stupid

Postby paleocon on 06/18/08, 10:56 am

Just another reason I never supported Huckabee.  

This from the clown who was making stupid jokes about someone shooting Obama at an NRA meeting last month.  This clown just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut.  

Republican Huckabee says don't denigrate Obama  

Jun 18 02:32 AM US/Eastern
Former US presidential contender Mike Huckabee urged his fellow Republicans on Wednesday not to denigrate Democrat Barack Obama, saying they should celebrate the historic moment of a black candidate.

I never understood how Evangelicals supported this guy.

It's just like J.C. Watts and some other Republican or Conservative black politicians actually considering voting for Obama. It's insane.

It's like me voting for some random German-Irish atheist, without considering his party or policies. Or voting for Jimmy Carter over Margaret Thatcher, because Jimmy is a man .... oops, scratch that. It's like voting for some male democrat over a female conservative, just because the democrat is a man. Can people really be this cavalier with their votes? (o.k., dumb question)

I have heard rumors that JC Watts was thinking of voting for Obama.  I can't figure that out either.  Irrational would be the word if the rumor is true.  

The whole concept of "identity politics" are lost on me.  If Margaret Thatcher were a black lesbian I'd vote for her over anyone who ran in the primaries from either party.  I don't care about the color of her skin or sexual preferences as long as she is truly conservative.  

Obviously, many people look at the world very differently than you or me.

GOPER wrote:Vote fro the united diverse bipartisan party! Vote for John McCain.


This is exactly the kind of babble that supports Watchers' thesis that GOPER is a democrat plant or troll.  I mean this is nothing but gibberish and babbling.  And GOPER constantly makes these kinds of remarks.  How can a single party be "bipartisan?"  

It is like he builds his posts from some three column list of adjectives and nouns or a chimp randomly arranging sentences from wooden blocks that have words written on them.  "Join the broad-based unified glorious peaceful respectful non-harsh politically correct big-tent non-exclusive moderate conservative open minded party."  

I find myself not wanting to believe a politically active person could engage in such disjointed thought.  If he isn't a troll or trying to yank our changes the other alternative is truly frightening.
