doesn’t really fly here.

And FYI, I wasn’t really referring to you being uncivil. My comment referred to people who find an excuse for everything and think their candidate is perfect. We’ve seen Romneybots, Huckabots, even Palinbots now….they’re all the same. Their American Idol candidate can do no wrong!

More like if Anteater says anything, you know right away that it’s a thought provoking comment about how great Mike Huckabee would be in elected office, former record notwithstanding. And thank God, because without anteater around, how would we know whether to support Huckabee or not.

Whatwith his demonstrably longer record of doing the same.

With Huck, I’d assume that he had already stolen my digits some way or other, and my mental efforts would go towards wondering how he made such detailed and functional replicas to replace the little guys.

Anteater might BE the Huckster.

The perennial rallying cry of the Huckabee supporters

In all seriousness, I don’t know much about Harmer. Is he conservative, is he in danger of not winning the election, and has he already won the primary? IOW, is the situation similar to that of “”? Personally, I have no problem with the position, “all politicians are scum”, and with subsequently labelling Palin and Pawlenty with that epithet. Conversely, I have no problem saying that Huck could be right on a given issue: I’ve made no bones about where I stand with Huck, and there’s not really much that can change my opinion on him, even if he worked tirelessly for conservatives from here on out (which would be nice). However, I’d like to have details before I agree with Huck’s support of Harmer simply to be agreeable. Could you, or anyone who lives in Harmer’s district/state provide some info on him?

if Anteater replies on a Huck post, then I’m sure Huck got hit in the eye with a correct, justifiable, and devastating attack.

Because that’s the only time Anteater ever posts around here.

His bad fiscal record, his obvious ambition, his obfuscation, and with me at least, an overwhelmingly smarmy “Elmer Gantry” type personality.

I just can’t warm up to him. I suppose I have the same feelings that way that the folks who are cold to Mitt Romney have. I generally agree with what Erick has written here.

This line struck me, however.

“Neither is qualified as a leader of conservatives when they will not support Doug Hoffman.”

Are we a Republican supporting site, or a conservative supporting site? IMHO, we should support conservatives, and so should the Republican party. There really shouldn’t be a difference. When there is, on a case-by-case basis, we have to choose the conservative if the Republican is a RINO.

As a party, if we nominate a RINO for national office we are initiating our own defeat. Republicans ARE conservative on almost all issues. Fall too far off that wagon, and they should be “Hoffmaned” by the rest of us.

If Huckabee and Romney don’t recognize that, they are confused and deficient.

“And we will remember in 2012.” Could not agree more. Personally, I have a speciallist of those relegated to political purgatory until I see actions befitting a true conservative. I accept no excuse for faillure to endorse Hoffman.

1) Of course Romney has mentioned Hoffman. He said that his non-endorsement of Dede should speak “volumes”.

2) Harmer’s special election is a couple days away too and only Huck has endorsed him, to my knowledge. Where are Palin, Pawlenty on this? We need to be consistent.

Keep up that kind of civility and you’ll do just fine here. Thank you.
