Why not look at Article6Blog.com, and see for yourself how Huckabee, in particular, played the game.

Romney faced his own issues with purists.

I have never heard anyone say anything about Romney’s religion. I don’t doubt there are people out there who send stupid emails around and every kind of idiot imaginable is on talk radio…but just in day to day life it is not something people make an issue of. To be honest, people around here are more concerned with the fact that he is from Massachusetts. Strange, I know.

As I said, nuts. I say that anyone that says they will stay home in Nov if McCain gets the nomination is a Spineless Wimp. Rummy went with the military he had. He didn’t get these options. Bush has had to deal with people calling themselves his Overseers. Hundreds of Overseers. Grow up kiddos.

But at the same time, it’s very hard to stomach the fact that a major reason he is not getting the nomination may be because of where he goes to church.

I’ll be viewing the choice in November with a lot of mixed emotions.

Gag me.

And exactly what do they think Hill or Barack’s immigration policy would be like? At least with McCain you might get secure borders. With Obama you would probably get a big blinking neon sign at El Paso saying

ENTER HERE!

morons.

He sure makes it hard to buy what he is selling.

Aitch, I can actually answer that. Believe it or not, it is about illegal immigration. Yup. The whole banana. You had to have been watching certain Pundits from way back. Long before Katrina. They have quite simply driven themselves nuts when they can’t vote for McCain over Clinton. Nutty as fruitcakes.

It wasn’t so long ago that the very idea of Hillary as president was presented as just about the worst thing that could happen politically. And I believed it. Now I’m witnessing people on the Right getting twisted so far out of joint over McCain that they seem to have changed their minds about Hillary and even talked themselves into thinking maybe a Hillary presidency wouldn’t be so bad. Because at least the Clintons aren’t McCain.

Funny, I seem to remember frightening stories about the Clintons siccing the IRS on private citizens, either because these citizens insisted on telling one or the other of the Clintons off, or merely because they got in the Clintons’ way (like Billy Dale, who just happened to be working in the wrong job at the wrong time). But suddenly I’m supposed to give credence to the idea that maybe, just maybe, John McCain, the GOP’s OWN CANDIDATE (well, not yet, but he very well could be soon enough) would be worse as President than the Ceaucescus of the Ozarks.

WTF, over??? Can I say now that big ragged bleeding chunks of the Right are in serious danger of jumping the shark when they insist on comparing McCains with the Clintons and finding McCain WANTING?????

I hate to point out the obvious, but it is not McCAin that is trying to wreck the GOP. All McCain did was run for his president. If it had not been for those horrid people voting for him in spite of Rush’s instructions to the contrary then McCain would not be in the running.

I think this episode points out once and for all, that the talking heads of the far right do not care about anything or anyone but themselves.

And I think Rich is right on how this day will go down.

That gripe have been said, I would vote for Romney, but I can live with McCain as the nominee. One nice thing about McCain – it will be sweet watching all the pro-deportation conservatives have to choke on the results as their policies go down to absolute and disastrous defeat.
