The Huckabee/Paul Smackdown

[nlm]

I'll agree with Boris - Huckabee was speaking in almost all platitudes and emotion driven rhetoric.

Ron Paul was not speaking in platitudes and emotion driven rhetoric - nor has he been through out, and that is refreshing.

Huckabee dropped quite a bit in my estimation - he showed himself to either be a fool or hack.

What exactly did you expect from a guy who thinks humans coexisted with dinosaurs?

Good point.

The greatest flaw in the Huckabee line of think is that we are "fixing" it.

We are not "fixing" it - we certainly broke it, but now we are trying to create something new there.

We are not trying to provide a stable government in Iraq - we are trying to create a government there in our own image; in a place that has never had anything close to that.

The reality of what Huckabee means is "since we broke it we need to remake it in our image" - which is a fool's errand and one that the American people would never buy into if they understood what he (and Bush and most of the other Republicans standing on the stage with Huckabee) was actually saying - and they know that, so they run this line of crap about "fixing it" out there.

Very true as well.

Thank you sir.
