have won Vietnam, no matter how many lives were lost, right? And anyone who thinks of Iraq in terms of "victory" and "defeat", like simplistic children in a game, is an idiot, IMO.

10. Are you serious?
So are you really saying you think Huckabee would be a better president than Obama? Seriously? Talk about a loss of perspective...

Unless you think one who wanted to quarantine those with AIDS, is superior to any of the democratic candidates. Really wouldn't have pegged you as a Huck fan.

26. I read quite well, thankyou.
So well that I can tell when to read someone's words as discredited as they are so blinded.

Sorta like when a really angry Kerry fan, last time around, called Howard Dean "a piece of shit" and then decided all of the Dean supporters were likely covered in the goo. I could understand not being supportive of another candidate - even critical - but to the point of repeatedly and angrily (could almost feel the spittle fly out of the monitor) call a major candidate "a piece of shit" - oh ya and as bad as bush.

I still don't take that particular Duer terribly seriously. S/he completely discredited him/herself.

Your first post places your sentiments as blind as the other poster to which I refer.

So whatever dude. you publically stated that Huckster was more qualified than Obama. That suggests that were the race down to Obama and Huck you would vote for Huck (per your own words) thus to me you will forward be read as "William the Huck fan". All from your own words.

And get this, I write this as one who isn't even an Obama fan (as in my response isn't knee-jerk pro my candidate anti your candidate).

So ya, I read between the literal lines real well. Learned to read posters in GDP the last time around. Now I mostly come in the forum for quick reads - and some good laughs at those who are making spectacles of themselves.

28. If you read well then why did you say
"got it... William for Huckabee." Nowhere was it said or implied.

34. Okay, tell me this,
let's say that Obama wins the Democratic party nomination, and Huckabee wins the GOP nomination. For whom do you vote?

You already said, in this thread, that Obama is less qualified than Huckabee. Ergo, I have to assume - based on your post - that you would be more inclined to vote for Huckabee.

I find that interesting coming from a DU poster, a belief that as weak and awful as a potential president Huckabee would make, that you think he is more qualified or thus "better" than ANY of the democratic candidates (well Gravel hasn't held office in years, so perhaps he would be an exception... thenagain, Gravel or Huckabee.... thats right I still go with the Democrat.)

Given that your snarky comment on this very thread indicated that you prefer Huckabee over at least one of the main democratic candidates, and I haven't seen anyone else make such a claim (that Huck is more qualified than any other democratic candidate), I have to conclude that you are unique in your support for one of the republican (and an insane and corrupt one at that) candidates.

Thus "William for Huckabee" or "William fan of Huck".

Point being: When we let our vitriol ooze out of our pores, sometimes we mislead others of our real intent. Unless that is you really would vote for Huckabee over Obama in a general election. Given your proclamation up thread, care to clarify?

36. I Can't Speak For William
But as an HRC supporter on this board I suspect he feels under attack... When one is under attack the reptilian brain kicks in...

I don't post everything that comes to my mind as I don't say everything that comes to mind but I can empathize with his anger...

38. given, I see no difference + Huck is better suited =
William for Huck! Okay, lets just say "William with a soft spot for the Huckster over at least one democratic candidate" - nah that takes too long to type.

25. Don't be fooled by Huckabee's "aw shucks" demeanor. He is much
sharper than he appears to be.

39. Not even Chimpy would be dumb enough to imply that Pakistanis
in America were a particular threat to us in light of the Bhutto assasination. Sorry, he's made enough gaffes that I just don't think he's all that bright. A crafty opportunist, perhaps, but not wise or thoughtful.

5. There was one, but he took office in 2001. No interest or ideas, just wanted to be a war president.
And so he has been. War criminal, too.

6. Tom Tancredo? Oh, that's right, he got out of the race...
the Huckster might not be able to get a C in International Relations but he has a 'theology' degree - oops, er... he has a religious study degree and a few hours of grad study at a divinity school... what was that about not lying, Huck?

Yep - the Huck is pretty pathetic.

and thought to himself "go for it!" Idiot.

12. Did Huckster mess something up on MSNBC this morning?
I missed what he said but afterwards one of their pundit-generals
was ridiculing him for not knowing his east from his west.

Did anyone catch what that was all about?

15. He described Pakistan as sharing an "eastern border" with Afghanistan--
of course, Pakistan has a WESTERN border with Afghanistan. Might have wanted to check a map at some point before giving an interview.

30. Shuckabee and Paul are bookends...
think of them as Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

We have so much trouble with our own candidates, think how much worse it would be if we had to choose from 'theirs.'
