Paroled Dumond by letting the board sign their names to it, brutal taxes, amnesty for illegals, took a federalist approach on abortion until he realized the pro-life group might vote more for someone demanding a Constitutional amendment…which he’s already stated could never pass and has not the first clue what foreign relations are let alone how to lead them…He’s a mid-level manager for cryin’ out loud.

These are all issues he has blatantly lied directly to us and/or reinvented himself simply for votes.

It doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you’re on in this race, when this guy is urinating on our heads and telling us it’s raining we need to be shoving an umbrella where his sun doesn’t shine.

It’s real – check the stats and the headlines.

Even the military is majority D now.

Nuthin you can say can change that.

All idiots are not republicans, but all republicans, and especially Huckleberry, only get their “news” from Fox News. It’s so obvious.

Most of the time, I am not as adament in my positions as I lead on.

And this is one of the things that bothers me about your posting here. You are being dishonest.

I want you to know that I work with mostly conservatives, and when I’m with them I argue for gay rights, freedom of religion, more diplomacy, even offer the progressive view on climate change.

So this is what you do with everyone. You play the Devil’s Advocate, but you don’t tell anyone you are doing it. This is deception, in case you don’t know it. When you trick people, as you are doing, you are making them out to be fools. That you learn from the encounter is utterly beside the point. You get no credit for learning at the expense of others when it is totally unnecessary.
The best way to do what you are trying to do is to be honest up front and then pose your challange or question. To do it your way makes you an unwelcome troll who is trying to stir up trouble.

I hope you and others aren’t offended by my being here. You are helping me to become a more informed and discerning person.

From the responses here to your posts a number of people here ARE offended. I am one of them. Offer a sincere apology and change your approach, and I for one will let the past go. Until then IMHO you are an unwanted troll.

I don’t know about the others, but I am offended by your being here since you simply fling feces on the wall and don’t contribute anything worthwhile. And I don’t buy your “I’ve learned my lesson” or that we are helping you in any way. You are now and always have been a troll. I have no idea why TP let you post again. You earned your banning the first time.

Right leaning blogs don’t ban someone after they have proven that they are nothing more than a troll who contributes zippo to the debate. Right leaning blogs ban you after the first or second time you disagree with something they said. Right wingers are not up to debating their views, all they want is people who will go along with the crowd of lemmings.

Directly contradicting Mike Huckabee’s claims, his former senior aide tells the Huffington Post that, as governor of Arkansas, Huckabee indeed told the state’s parole board that he supported the release of a convicted rapist.

Reeves’s admission comes as a surprise since the interview was encouraged by Huckabee’s presidential campaign. Reeves served as chief counsel to then-Gov. Huckabee until 2003, and was subsequently appointed by Huckabee as chairman of the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission. Reeves has donated to Huckabee’s presidential campaign.

Fact is, this country has done little but lean to the right for 30 years, in spite of the “liberal boogeyman” stories that go around. On a bike, if you don’t lean to the left sometimes, you end up going in a circle, and it really does look like we’ve ended up back at Viet Nam, doesn’t it???

Remember, it was a Jesus FReak that got us into the mess we are in.

i guess that makes it a good thing that the righty blogs won’t allow lefty commenters – eliminates the temptation.

Americans like to elect governors as President — four out of our last five Presidents (Bush 43, Clinton, Reagan, and Carter) were governors of their states prior to being elected President (the exception was Bush 41). None of these four had ever served in a federal government position (either elected or appointed), and they all had little or no foreign policy experience before becoming President.

Up to now, Americans didn’t really care if their candidates had foreign policy experience. They seemed to either prefer candidates who had executive experience (such as a state governor would have) or they preferred candidates who they saw as Washington outsiders.

So where are all the governors in the 2008 presidential race? Only Romney, Huckabee, and Richardson are or have been governors — everybody else (except Giuliani, who was a mayor) comes from the U.S. Senate or the U.S. House of Representatives, where knowledge of foreign matters runs a bit higher than it does on a state level.

Maybe foreign policy is a bigger priority with the electorate these days.

Oh, please. She’s practically a Communist, didn’t you know? And a lesbian!
