Huckabee is an ass. We want a leader that jokes about suicide and assinations? No wonder his kid was fucked in the head. And we want this guy to run our nation?

Read Escargency on the Internet please-

you see why it´s better to have Daniel and David as hope for the future....

[charadester]

Much ado about nothing. She simply meant that ANYTHING can happen, so she takes the campaign seriously all the way down to the final hour. Put a bug in a Republican war room, and you'd hear things that make this sound like a nursery rhyme.

If Obama held Clinto's feet to the fire about this remark then you know why his remark about lipstick drew the same fire.

And THOSE chickens came back to roost........
