And I guess Chuck Norris ain’t so tough.

What I’m trying to say is Mike Huckabee will not be President. Where was his god two nights ago?

PS: I will have more posts up shortly. The baby is finally better and I just need to catch up on my rest.

You can’t beat this guy down! I love it!

Mike Huckabee is still upbeat about the campaign:

So when people say I can’t be the nominee, until we get to the convention in Minneapolis this fall in September, we don’t know absolutely, positively who that nominee is.

He also says the McCain lobbyist-fucker scandal is the best thing that could have happened to the Senator, and hopes that the NYT will run a first-page smear on him.

Obviously, that one didn’t seem to make a big difference. In fact, if anything it’s helped John McCain and I’m kind of hoping the New York Times will take me on and run a nasty front page story — may be the best thing that could happen to me, certainly was to him.

If this guy’s ever in Delaware, I’m buying him a bunch of beers. And roofies. I’ll give him that scandal he wants so badly!

I have to say I like Huckabee. He’s chipper, plays an instrument (yes it’s a bass guitar, but it’s something), and has a good sense of humor. You gotta love a guy that can make fun of himself, but you don’t gotta vote for him.

Enjoy!

Last night, the call fo change was heard and embraced yet again as Sen. Obama widened his delegate lead over Sen. Clinton by decisive victories in Wisconsin and Hawaii.

Wisconsin:

Obama: 58% of the popular vote and 38 delegates

Clinton: 41% of the popular vote and 27 delegates

Hawaii:

Obama: 76% of the popular vote, no delegate count yet

Clinton: 24% of the popular vote, no delegate count

The speeches have started to use stronger wording, with Obama taking a shot at the  quagmire (giggity) in Washington, D.C:

It is going to require more than rousing speeches. … It is going to require something more, because the problem that we face in America today is not the lack of good ideas. It’s that Washington has become a place where good ideas go to die

And McCain taking a shot at Obama:

I will fight every moment of every day in this campaign to make sure Americans are not deceived by an eloquent but empty call for change

Absent from McCain’s speech was any mention of Senator Clinton. It seems he knows who will be his opponent when the conventions are said and done.

Onr thing I just thought of: where was Huckabee last night?

The primaries are exiting this year for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that we are almost at the end of 8 years of an incredibly stupid leader. Hope is in the future, then you read this comment in a CNN article:

“I know the pundits, and I know what they say: The math doesn’t work out,” Huckabee said Saturday morning at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington. “Well, I didn’t major in math, I majored in miracles. And I still believe in those, too.”

While I realize this was very likely something Huck said to get a cheap pop from the audience, it’s things like this that turn my stomach because of the  “I’m proud of my ignorance” attitude that pervades a certain group of the American faithful. This attitude is the one that lets people say that this country was founded on Christianity, that you can’t have freedom without religion, that we should modify the Constitution to be in line with god’s law, and that we can go to war because god told us to. Politicians like Huckabee make me fear for the future of freedom in this country, and it’s because of his willful ignorance, and because he values his faith more than he does the ideals of this nation.

And he’s proud of that.

What would you do if you had all eternity for your soul to live on and a shitload of money that was handed to you? One man would continue what could be described as a hopeless cause. Currently, the bastard love-child of Jim Neighbors and Kevin Spacey is seeing his 533 delegate deficit not as a strong hint that God doesn’t want him in office, but the bottom of a hill leading to the presidency where he will likely piss all over the Constitution and every American that is not a straight whitebread conservative.Mike Huckabee: Would-be president, one time preacher, insane jackass.

The first votes of the NewHampshire primary have been tallied in the small town of Dixville Notch. A small graphic in the article shows some exciting statistics which, if they remain unchanged, show promise for a decisive election.

Look at that! Barack Obama has seven votes to Clintons zero. I’m not the strongest mathematician, but that looks like an infinite lead to me! We see the same occurrence with McCain/Pyle. Now, I’m not a huge fan of McCain, but Huck is a straight-up nutcase who will ruin this country if he gains the office of the President.

Very heartening numbers from the first results of the primary!
