Well, Mr. Obama has finally quit that ludicrous Chicago institution known as Trinity United Church of Christ. His membership had survived Rev. Wright, but was ultimately done in over the visiting Rev. Michael Pfleger’s bizarre self-hating white guilt trip, and radicalized political rally in sacred masquerade.
Having seen the deranged, obscenely ideological sermons of Wright and [...]

A clerical ally of Huckabee is in trouble with the IRS for turning his tax-exempt church into a political platform. Now that seems like a “fair tax” no?

A Huckabee blog calls it quits (sort-of). Facing the inevitability of McCain, he asks only that Huckabee “not look for or accept any positions in McCain’s cabinet.” Now there’s one of the first things I can agree with Huckabee supporters on.

The polls suggest that McCain will defeat Hucakbee in Virginia today by 48% to 37%. I for one am hoping for a larger margin of defeat for Huckabee, but I’ll take that. Meanwhile Obama is favored to sweep Virginia, Maryland and D.C.

It’s time to put “grassroots” in quotation marks for Mike Huckabee’s campaign. Renaissance Ruminations is being harassed by slimy disclaimerless robo-calls and push polls, from liberation theology central. An irritated Riley at Virginia Virtucon, who is experiencing the same problem, made his views known to the Huckabot: “The call cut off once I started giving [...]

Toronto police recently seized shipments of 10,320,000 counterfeit cigarettes from China (PRC authorities themselves intercepted nine billion in 2007). Chinese made counterfeits bearing fake American branding such as Marlboro, are produced “in underground operations, caves and old warehouses,” and shipped through Vancouver for sale on a vast black market that has developed [...]

Mick at Uncorrelated has another lovely post on the essentially vile character and politics of Mike Huckabee. Toward the end of his remarks he briefly hits Huckabee’s proposed Fair Tax:
…and politically DOA policy planks like the fair tax.
(Uncorrelated)
Politically DOA we must hope, because Huckabee’s tax plan would do more than “eliminate the IRS.” [...]

Have you ever taken a moment to read some of the many Huckabee blogs that have sprung up over the past months? They’re really quite strange. For instance, here is a snippet from a Blogs 4 Huckabee post on Ann Coulter’s infamous endorsement of Hillary Clinton:
If the Democrats win, the American people will [...]

Looks like the liberation theologist won the Kansas caucuses with a substantial 67% of the vote. Earlier today at CPAC, Huckabee had suggested that miraculous intervention by the Almighty would eventually deliver him the GOP nomination. You have to take that as literal belief when it comes to Huckabee. He also pledged to remain [...]

Utah Against Huckabee

Ken at Oblogatory Anecdotes, along with many other Mormon Romney supporters, is naturally very disappointed about Mitt’s withdrawal from the Republican race. Like many Mormons Ken is convinced Romney was defeated “for the most part because of his affiliation with Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.” But unlike some, Ken places the [...]

The Ecumenical Reform Coalition Strikes Back
Lee on Feb 06 2008 | Filed under: Domestic Politics, Election 2008, Lee's Page
With Romney’s odds of winning the nomination now highly improbable, and the press directly asking Huckabee if he wants to be Vice President, the McCain-Huckabee alliance many of us have longed feared is now quite visible on the horizon. Even worse though, is the distinct possibility that this ghastly marriage of factions is in fact [...]
That Nightmare Ticket
Lee on Feb 04 2008 | Filed under: Around the Web
Sadly, Mike Huckabee remains in the race in order to distort it. One has to wonder if the increasingly paranoid crypto-theocrat’s gambit to become McCain’s Vice Presidential nominee succeeds, how substantially will it depress mainstream conservative turnout? I’d say pretty significantly, as this is a concord between the liberal + soc-con wings of the party [...]
Still Anyone’s Game

McCain may be the front runner, but it is still anyone’s game going into next Tuesday. And the race can be just as muddled after next Tuesday, if there’s not a clear front runner.
And yes, it’s my contention that at this time, there isn’t a clear front runner. Just look at the numbers:

Huckabee the liberation theologist is now tied with McCain in Rasmussen’s latest poll at 24%. One would hope for South Carolinians to regain their senses prior to the vote, but it doesn’t look good.

The rhetoric is certainly heating up in this race. Just look at this speech from populist John Edwards:
