Why all the Huckabee hate?
Jan16
I’ve made no apologies for my support of Rudy Giuliani – even though it has raised the eyebrows of some of my more conservative brethren. He is not doing as well as I hoped and is actually running under someone I liked at first glance, but thought would never make it, Mike Huckabee.
As Huckabee has slowly risen in the polls, so has the rancor against him. No, I’m not talking about CNN or any other liberal media titan; the most vitriolic of the attacks have come from Republican bluebloods.
I would really like to know why.
Any modest examination of Huckabee’s record reveals positions and statements that most in the party would disagree with. But it’s okay to oppose without bashing.
I have trouble with many of Huckabee’s proposals: a national ban on smoking and mandatory health care for children, to name two. He definitely has his warts, but so does Romney (who is too ready to say what people want to hear), McCain (who is too cozy with the liberals and moderates), and Rudy (who is has several disturbingly liberal policies).
Why Romney lost the CNN/YouTube debate

The fiasco CNN and YouTube hosted — they called it a Republican debate — was uninspired from beginning to end. The questioning was incredibly hostile and unenlightening in turns and basically followed the same line.
Why Rudy Giuliani has my vote
Nov28
Today I officially entered my name as a Delegate supporting Rudy Giuliani in the West Virginia Republican State Convention. As a social conservative, the decision was not easy.
To be honest, my first choice was Mike Huckabee, but his chances of winning the primary, much less the general, are slim. Even now there are only 7 West Virginia Delegates supporting him.

The most uninteresting part of any magazine is the editorial section. Most editors spend their 500 words pleading with the subscriber to visit page so-and-so and not forget to check out the special section of the month. Unlike most editors, Forbes gets two full pages to comment on things that happen outside the magazine.

The bodies from the slaughter at Virginia Tech are yet to be buried and the liberals are already talking about gun control. The left’s leading spokesman (and now that Don Imus is gone, perhaps the most hateful person on television), Rosie O’Donnell, declared on The View that her “right to live peacefully in America is violated by someone’s right to own a semi-automatic gun.”
My one dollar check to the state

Well I am back in the land of the living after spending last week working on designs for multiple clients and calculating my taxes.
After reams of paper, hundreds of man-hours, and complex computations that would send “Deep Fritz” on the fritz (I exaggerate only slightly), I figured out that I owe the state exactly one dollar. I would have paid the state fifty dollars just to avoid the aggravation of filing.
The Dean of Screams is back

Howard Dean is still the favorite for the position of Chairman of the Democrat Party. I must say the Democrats selecting a ranting liberal is welcome news for the Republican Party. It seems as though the Democrats are going to try a different tack for their party: instead of changing their failing positions, […]
Rice gets confirmed
Jan19
After strenuous grilling for almost eleven hours by Democrats who allow partisanship to stand in the way of what is good for their country, Condoleezza Rice got confirmed.
Regardless of who nominated her, Rice is an excellent choice for Secretary of State and will do a terrific job. Unfortunately, there were two […]
I’ve got a Manchin

My fellow West Virginians: I am humbled and honored to stand here at this podium today as your Governor.
With that, the newly elected West Virginia Governor, Joe Manchin, began his inaugural speech.

One of the liberal institution’s arguments against the war in Iraq is that there was no terrorist ties between Osama and Iraq. One more piece of evidence surfaced today proving they are (once again) wrong. The funny thing is that it came from the most unlikely source, the BBC itself.
The article is about […]
