Huckabullshit

Will the Huckabullshit never stop? Talking to the gutless Wolf Blitzer only moments ago, Huckabee touted the idea that a few hundred dollars tax rebate would spur consumption and boost the economy that's been weakened by more of that same idea - while recommending that we decrease consumption by adding a "fair tax" or regressive sales tax that will have the less affluent spending more of their income on taxes than the more affluent. That's bullshit. Besides the lack of evidence that tax increases lead to recession and ignoring the fact that prolonged expansion has followed tax increases, we are looking at something even worse than Bush's borrow and spend policies. We're looking at a future where the Theocrats crush the peasants and the government governs private behavior according to the dictates of the clergy.

The same smiling face responded to Blitzer's question about making the constitution conform to the will of "the living God" by rambling on about female suffrage and the flexibility of the constitution and the permanence of the Ten Commandments. More bullshit. Huckabee's living God is a dead Jew on a stick, whom the government is forbidden to acknowledge as God and the ten commandments are superseded according to Christian tradition along with the other 603 Biblical commandments the Reverend Huckster chooses to ignore as a Christian.

It's more and more evident that this man is a dangerous idiot with a confused, self contradictory concept of economics, government and theology and a complete ignorance of science.

I'm surely not going to argue the point.

Huckabee's living God is a dead Jew on a stick...Sometimes a phrase just catches my eye and makes my day. This did it today.

I'm just so sick of the weirdos, crackpots, phonies, freaks and crooks we get offered for the most powerful job in the world.

What about a sane person who's a lot smarter than average?

A sane person that is smarter than average? Why in the hell would they want such a crappy job?

Very true - you have to be nuts to want to be President

You almost have to be nuts to listen to the news too and if you're not, you'll get that way.
