Open Letter to President Obama and the DNC

To: President Obama and the Democratic National Committee: Mr. President; Ladies and Gentlemen: With regard to recent events both domestic and foreign, I must assure you in the strongest terms that you are unequivocally playing with danger. Since taking office, you have confused our allies, insulted our friends, bewildered the American public, ducked serious issues, [...]

A President comes a beggin’

The next few days up through the Presidents coming speech next Wednesday will explain much to the American People. Depending on who you are and what you expect from him, Obama’s silky platitudes will fall on many deaf ears. It seems as if Obama has utterly forgotten the famous phrase that his Illinois predecessor once [...]

It’s all about Them, isn’t it?

Why won’t these Extremist Progressive Democrats listen to their own constituency, their voters, their own good people? Why call or accuse folks who stand up to ask questions or present their views at town hall meetings as a hired mob, a disruptor, or worse yet, a storm trooper? What? A Nazi Storm Trooper? Nonetheless, its [...]

Wurzelbacher is not the Devil Incarnate

But he’s not a dumb schmuck either. Considering the incredible abuse he’s taken for asking a question, a little air time is in order: Now, if the media can take some of the 100 news types that showed up at this guy’s door and go see how big the lie is that Obama one ‘occsionally [...]

Huckabee getting new teeth?

Looks like his show for FOX might require some fancier teeth. November, 2007 August, 2008

Huckabee not running for Arkansas Senate

I still think he’ll get a TV show and make more money. Here’s Huckabee’s announcement on the Senate seat: In an interview with The Hill, Huckabee said he is still “decompressing” from his presidential campaign, and reaffirmed past statements that indicated he had no interest in challenging Pryor or serving in the Senate. In a [...]

The Mike Huckabee Show

Get ready for the new lineup next fall. It might include the Mike Huckabee TV show. On the MSNBC program “Morning Joe,” the Republican strategist Mike Murphy predicted Mr. Huckabee would “suspend his campaign, hire excellent agents, and begin negotiations for a cable TV talk show, all within the next 10 days.” “We’ve got a [...]

Huckabee here to stay

The Washington Times has some of the worst news of the day: Huckabee will continue his political career. Mr. Huckabee’s inner circle says he’s the perfect bridge to re-establish the Christian right, which has suffered over the last decade, as a political force that speaks for millions of voters. “He has become the leader of [...]

Huckabee to Drop Out

Breaking news headline on top of CNN says that Huckabee’s campaign manager says that he will drop out of the GOP race, as promised, when McCain clinched the victory, which he did with wins in Vermont, Ohio, and Texas.

Avoid Messianic Politics

Ever since the day that I heard the speech that Illinois Senator Barack Obama gave at the Democratic National Convention in 2004–a year where I as a college student was investing interest in politics for the first time only to be disappointed by the fact that the best the Democratic Party had to offer up [...]

Bush On Drugs

Mike Huckabee: world’s greatest political hack. Has anyone stopped to think why I would call him that? The reasons may have come to your head. You might like him; but, have you even tried to think that there might be something Un-righteous about him? I am disappointed in the Christians of America. Do we so [...]

Huckabee tries to broker the convention with a Texas win

There is no way Huckabee can win the nomination at this point. With Mitt Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention seem unlikely, but a massive Texas win for Huckabee might prevent McCain from getting the nomination he seems so ready to receive. This email came from the Huckabee camp, a last cry to [...]

McCain uses McCain-Feingold to his advantage

Quoting a Rush Limbaugh interview with Time, “You know, Romney was up ten points in Florida until two things happened — until McCain started with this bulls–t about Romney being in favor of a time-line for withdrawal — he did that on a Saturday…  It was a Saturday he made that claim. So it’s three days before [...]

Who’s more conservative: Obama or Huckabee?

It’s a sad state of affairs when the Democrats are far more “conservative” in the fiscal sense than Republicans. Barack Obama’s new economic plan is nothing more than state interventionism providing low cost loans (subprime crisis, anyone?), jobs that produce nothing worthwhile, and wasted capital. At $60 billion, it seems like a lot of money.

Huckabee slams Ron Paul on abortion

Laurence Vance has been impressive in his short but sweet posts lately. On January 22–the 35th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision–Ron Paul was the only presidential candidate who spoke at the March for Life in Washington DC. Huckabee did speak at a Right to Life rally in Atlanta, but said: “The logic that [...]

America is “Coming Home” again this November

Two exciting events will happen this coming November. First, the end of the George W. Bush era, our national nightmare. On a more positive note, we will surely elect a candidate that is not George W. Bush. While I totally support Barack Obama, any of the contenders takes us away from this low period in [...]

Get out of the race, Huck

Mike Huckabee is not going to stop John McCain from getting the Republican nomination. It seemed likely at first, but after last night’s losses, Huck is dead. Byron York at National Review got it right, But inside the Huckabee camp these days, there is a distinct sense of pragmatism about the campaign’s prospects. The time [...]

Why Pro-Roe Might Be the Best Option…For Now.

This is the third and final installment from the series ‘Would the Reversal of Roe v. Wade Really Be a Victory for the Religious Citizen?” (Read part one and part two). In part one we discussed why religious citizens feel obligated to support so called pro-life candidates. In part two we discussed the problem with [...]

Immigration will be a non-issue in the coming Presidential campaign

There will be one positive aspect of a November contest between McCain/Obama or a McCain/Clinton campaign. The great immigration debate issue being espoused by many unenlightened Republicans, conservatives and neocons, will be greatly diluted. The belief held by these groups is that we should “deport them all.” Dowell Myers, author of “Immigrants and Boomers: Forging [...]

Virginia, D.C., Maryland – A Clean Sweep

Tonight, one Republican and one Democrat made a clean sweep of all the states up for grabs. John McCain and Barack Obama won with extensive margins in the states. What does this mean for Obama and McCain? For Obama this is most likely a statement to the Clinton Campaign saying,” Oh yeah, guess what? We’re [...]
