Take Control Of YOUR Vote/Huckabee And Fred Thompson And Conservatism/Huckabee In The News, Last Week
If you're catching up afte the Ames Straw Poll got your attention, at the bottom of this post are some things I accumulated in the week leading up to Huckabee's showing in Ames..
Unfazed, the Notheastern liberal “experts” at MSNBC, convened and discussed only Romney and Giuliani, with a mention of Thompson and that McCain has just offended Republicans, now distrusting on too many counts. The absolute rejection of Iowa Republican activists, of Thommpson, Giuliani, and McCain did not even give them pause. Conservative Christians, they said, care more about terrorism than they do their other pet issues. And presumably to these people, conservatives think Giuliani and Romney are the only Republicans in
Just so you don’t think I’m the only one who’s noticed Fred Thomson’s unprincipled (he may understand that money buys politicians, but he doesn’t understand The Constitution and that laws can’t stop it, which is a liberal idea), Nate Nelson writes at WordPress about Thompson’s overblown conservatism at Huckabee’s Appeal , as does Captain’s Quarters, from where I followed the link. Huckabee’s blog cites: Ed Morrissey of the Captain's Quarters Blog adds more insight into the great (Huckabee) article from the WSJ.

I agree with you about Fred Thompson, whom I find increasingly irritating. I wrote a piece on my old blog about Fred Thompson as the Republican version of "The Great Pumpkin." You may remember in Charlie Brown that the kids would wait each Halloween for the arrival of the Great Pumpkin (it was a humorous play on people who keep predicting the Second Coming will happen in a week or so). But every year they were disappointed. I wrote this months ago, and somehow Great Pumpkin Thompson has still not arrived. The Republican contest may very end up being between Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee, neither of whom will ever be seen with his hands around the other man's throat. They will both use the phrase "I'm the only candidate that . . . (whatever)," but that's about as "vicious" as they'll get. Imagine that, a civilized campaign!
On MSNBC: that will teach you never to listen to that particular cable outlet. You may listen to CNN in the morning because Kiran Chetry makes fun of silly stories the news directors think are worthy of note. Plus, she likes dogs, cats, small children, and Mike Huckabee (whom she interviewd Monday) so she must be nearly perfect.
I'll get over to your blog. I just wish the Thompson candidacy would take a decisive blow to the chin, before it gets off the ground.
MSNBC is its own little intellectual (using the term loosely) dimension. But, Huckabee appears with those guys and disarms them. They don't quite know what to make of him.
Check your e-mail for the link to the Salena Zito article that will appear tomorrow in the Pittsburgh (PA) Tribune-Review. It's about Mike Huckabee.
