Huckabee’s brilliant monologue on Congressional ineptitude.


Huckabee is by far the best speaker in the GOP and it is clear that the preacher comes out when he gives these 2 minute monologues…but the one from last night was especially brilliant.

I may not agree with some of his veiws

But I have to admit, the guy knows how to talk to people. This, and the one about the “Congressional Action Relief Plan” were pretty funny and accurate.

This is a great video....

I embedded it below. Thereyougoagain, next time, if possible, please try embed the video because it makes it easier for people.

Oh, and Scarlos, here is a link to a diary that I recently wrote that has the “Congressional Relief Action Program” embed in it. I thought that you might enjoy it. :-)

It’s just not a diary. It’s a comment and belongs in an open thread. I made the same comment, actually a tad more vociferous, on a couple of similar “diaries” put by another newbie.

And this guy put up two. I made a similar comment on his other one.

 

Wow... Huck is a good speaker whether you agree

dbecraft Sunday, March 1st at 10:44PM EST (link)

with him or not. No need to try to ban him here (Why is my question). He is a great candidate to many (I don’t think that he has much of a chance) but why would you put him down – here?

After all, he is a conservative and worthy of consideration just for that reason. He probably won’t make the short list in 2012, but he should not be flamed.

mbecker908 (Diary) Sunday, March 1st at 10:47PM EST (link)

Beyond noting that we’ve been through this crap before and Huck may be lots of things, but a “conservative” ain’t one of ‘em.

Oh, and as far as him being a "good speaker"

mbecker908 (Diary) Sunday, March 1st at 10:47PM EST (link)

so’s Obama.

Of course you're right...but as I said below

dbecraft Sunday, March 1st at 10:56PM EST (link)

it isn’t the time to start condemning previous candidates. I would not have voted for him either (way too liberal), but was just trying to state my views on condemnation of politicians before they are even considered a candidate.

He is a good speaker (hence TV show), but of course I don’t agree with him on many things… I am much more like you on Conservative issues…

Formally known as Deagle… “Golf is a way of life…”

Don't float. Please answer my question.

I asked first.

They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.

I was not talking about you specifically… I was explaining my viewpoint with today’s youth and their inexperience but highly educated. It was not aimed at you…

I am the one that is old…and looking at the next generation with dismay. Is that really so bad – doesn’t every generation do that…so, take it easy, nothing was meant personally.

I doubt that it is possible to convince you of anything at this point anyway… If you don’t realize that memories of the exact years are variable then you don’t deserve any more contact…

I enlisted in 64 and went to Vietnam after a 2 year station in Yokota, Japan (lucky me), and then went to Vietnam. It occurred at the end of the year or the beginning of the next – I’m not sure and I’m not going to put out my discharge papers to make the determination. It was enough to get me into the VFW (which if you knew, they check your discharge papers before letting you in)…but I digress…

How about I tell you that I worked as a Crypto Electrician in the Air Force for 8 years (and had access to lots of Russian documents and ship movements). Do you really think that someone could (or would) make all this up just for you? If so, you are stupider than I ever thought…

Huckabee is a very good speaker, and he has many assets that together compose a formidable political aptitude. Being brilliant is not one of those assets.
