The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux) - Page 376

A very interesting read. the writer is someone who was part of the power struggle after the 2004 elections that brought forth Howard Dean as the DNC chairman and notes that the Republicans are about to have the same struggle and that if the struggle goes the same way that he fears the next RNC chairman could very well be Mike Huckabee. However, the writer notes, the party isn't that intelligent.

unfortunately the author, like most Americans have misunderstood Mike Huckabee as an evangelical nutjob. You can thank the media for that. For example I was interviewed during the Primaries and after going out of my way to note that I wasn't an Evangelical and most of my fellow volunteers locally and around the Country were not either, we were still covered as religious whackos.

If you really want to know who Mike Huckabee is basically imagine a George W. Bush who is who he promised he would be, add in a higher IQ and a much better level of communication, and imagine if Bush had never lied to the country, wasn't a corrupt oil man, and wouldn't have gone into Iraq and there you have it.

With that said there is one major difference between the Howard Dean and Mike Huckabee campaigns. Howard Dean was popular right off the bat and peaked too soon. It took a long time for Huck's campaign to go anywhere and the the very loyal grassroots arm was just starting to become a well oiled machine by March of this year and we we have not just stuck together we have grown in number since then.

Okay I'll stop now...you have probably gown very tired of me babbling on.

Quote:

One sunny day in 2009 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench.
He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here."
The old man said, "Okay" and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U. S. Marine, saying, "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I've told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow."

omg! I'm going to hell. I thought Helen Thomas passed away. I think I told a couple people that I was sad that she was gone. But I check the Huff Post and there she is! My apologies, Ms. Thomas. Oy!
Helen Thomas is still around.

Poor Sarah Palin. Thwarted at every turn- looks like her shortcut to the Senate is closed.

I can't tell if in this clip Bush is not wanting to shake hands with world leaders or if they don't want to shake hands with him. Interesting.
