His criticism of Romney sounds consistent with what other republicans said about him and he's right about Thompson, any pundit would agree with that he was a disappointment given the amount of hype surrounding his entry, and that he never seemed really knowledgeable about the issues. The Huckster's not settling old scores. If he wanted to settle old scores he'd send Chuck Norris, and you'd never hear about it. It doesn't seem particularly spiteful.

As someone who tends to vote conservative for powers for government and fiscal spending, I think it's ridiculous for Huckabee to think he's the champion of conservatism. He spent just like Bush when he ran Arkansas. And the way he treated Romney solely because of his Mormon faith is flatly un-American. And then he blames people with libertarian views for costing the Reps the election on Hannity today. What an idiot. Get over yourself. We all have our values, but your religious agenda is not the same as conservatism. Stop trying to ram it down everyone's throat. And you wonder why people are turned off by the Republicans.

Huckabee is a clown, certainly never had a possible chance at getting the nomination, but acting to spoil Romney's chances, giving us McCain who was destined to lose the election. It was clear a year ago, and it has played out. Now he has the nerve to take shots at Romney, who is by far the better man.

You cannot have a good gameplan if you don't have a good quarterback, right? You cannot have a good scheme if you cannot protect your quarterback, right? To come and think about it, they probably don't have it as bad as the Bengals! LOL!!! But get this first though. They gotta have an identity... I gotta say, this is more big news than the Cowboys for crying out loud, LOL!! Poor, poor GOP. So much to learn in so little time. Is sad that they can't even get on the same page.

Boy, are they going to need a good "draft" in the upcoming season. Who will emerge? Who will be the biggest free agent? This party is gonna need to do more rebuilding than the Clippers had in ALL of their seasons combined! You cannot have a good gameplan if you don't have a good quarterback, right? You cannot have a good scheme if you cannot protect your quarterback, right? To come and think about it, they probably don't have it as bad as the Bengals! LOL!!!

Never again. It retarded medical research and education so that we're neck and neck with Slovakia rather than leading the world in science and math. On the plus side, we do lead the word in dressing and acting like airheads, hookers and pimps. That's gotta count for something.
