4. Fuckabee Should Have us All Running Scared
What if he wins?

If he gets nominated, the GOP establishment WILL fall behind him, and the mass media along with them.
They'll bribe and blackmail him to keep him from doing anything too bothersome to them.

If Bush** can get (s)elected so can Fuckabee.

6. He is not going to win....
This little group (of corporate whore Dems and Repubs), has a plot to nip something like that in the bud....

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/29/AR2007122901476.html

Huckabee doesn't have the business interests Bush had.

12. A Bloomberg Run Would Hand the White House to the Repigs!
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 12:58 PM by AndyTiedye
Bloomberg would split the Dems right down the middle, allowing the 29%ers to choose the next President.

That is precisely the scenario that would be most likely to lead to a President Fuckabee.

13. Can we stop cowering in terror at the prospect of a Bloomberg run?
Jeebus, just because a pathetic, has-been consortium of Bush Dog Dems gripe about white trash, wimmin or uppity Negroid types runnin' for President, doesn't mean we have to listen to them.

Fuck Bloomberg. He's nothing.

14. Nader Was Nothing Too, But He Helped put Bush* in the White House
Any kind of 3rd-party run hurts us, because it splits the anti-Bush vote.

8. GOD yes. And that's why I applaud them.
They'll be screwed over, a way will be found to screw them over.. you'll see. But in the meanwhile: GOD yes.

9. You're right
It would be a good sign for America for regular people to reject Republican corporatist globalist bullshit.

11. It's the corporatists that are the biggest enemy...
The fundies don't have the numbers to get any where, and the hard core libertarians certainly don't... divide and conquer!!

As long as Romney continues to get thrashed
Very few people like him up here.

5. Romney is an Ass, but Compared to the Other Repigs, He Doesn't Look So Bad
That's not saying much, I know.

2. Those are great, actually.
All that says is that they hate the Republican establishment. Good news for us; they're certainly a demoralized party.

3. it's not scary at all
NH has a wide libertarian streak - hence the appeal of Ron Paul.
This is a very town in northern NH, which has traditionally been pretty conservative.

I'm surprised by Huckabee, but even more surprised by all the votes for Democrats. I don't live far from Hart's Location.
When I moved here 25 years ago, there weren't ANY Democrats there. Now there's an even split:

Democrat Obama received nine votes, Hillary Rodham Clinton received three and John Edwards received one.

I'm betting it's scarier where you live.

7. I like Michael and Ron.
Thumbing your nose at the Establishment within your own party is always good, when it's done properly.

They're what Kucinich's run was supposed to be.

You don't want John to have the party nomination.

10. Neither are beholden to major corporate interests...
(In Paul's case, none at all) Its refreshing to see more than a few Repubs FINALLY find that appealing.
