But whether he has the machine behind him to get elected and/or put his ideas into practice is fortunately another matter.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17360212854272385905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1490423121850998388.post-1504359008263899362008-01-07T21:26:00.000-06:002008-01-07T21:26:00.000-06:00Hi Heidi--proposal and feedback coming soon! In th...Hi Heidi--proposal and feedback coming soon! In the meantime:<BR/><BR/>1) Huckabee's responses to the Bhutto assassination seem to me more indicative of his complete incompetence, ignorance, and intolerance than any coherent policy: he meant "sympathies," not "apologies," according to his own subsequent clarification; he got Pakistani geography entirely wrong; and, most tellingly, he described our urgent need to monitor our Mexican border for Pakistani's trying to enter (legally!) and commit terrorist acts. Good times.<BR/><BR/>2) More generally, and it shocks me to write this sentence about anyone, Huckabee represents an even more dangerous trend than anything in the Bush/Cheney years. I've never trotted out the "move to Canada" line, but if we truly were to elect a President who wants to do away with the separation of church and state, I'd be first in line at the border. Going the other way, Mike, no need to worry.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801262089171718637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1490423121850998388.post-35433359633941002392008-01-06T20:28:00.000-06:002008-01-06T20:28:00.000-06:00al sharpton's middle name is exciting. i know you...al sharpton's middle name is exciting. i know you're not knocking my man.1009https://www.blogger.com/profile/16098635681599211009noreply@blogger.com
