Super Tuesday

It’s finally here.  If you listen to media pundits, Obama’s got this in a landslide.  If you look at the polls, Clinton’s got this in a landslide.  I can’t wait to see how the media/polls difference is explained off again.  ( Stolen election?  Bad exit poll data? )   Bottom line, I think the media LOVES [...]

I gotta score one for Huckabee today.  On the issue of the Confederate flag in South Carolina: “You don’t like people from outside the state coming in and telling you what to do with your flag,” Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, told supporters Thursday in Myrtle Beach, S.C. “In fact, if somebody came to Arkansas [...]

I read this first thing this morning: Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks in an upcoming article, “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” I have real issues with this for several reasons.

Huckabee slams the Saudis

November 26th, 2007 | No Comments

Mike Huckabee had this to say in what I think is a response to the gang-rape victim in Saudi Arabia: Every time we put our credit card in the gas pump, we’re paying so that the Saudis get rich — filthy, obscenely rich, and that money then ends up going to funding madrassas,” schools “that [...]
