This is a thread on GOP candidates that involved zero politics besides news he was getting out and a brief note on my own disappointment about it. Did you have anything constructive to add or did you merely wish to reinforce my opinion of you as an angry leftist with very little knowledge of the people she recklessly throws insults at?
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Dems used to chase the evangelical vote, and the Church never should've permitted a political coup.

Huckabee didn't hide his beliefs, but also made clear he wouldn't try to legislate them.

It was 12.9%, which is pretty good for a Dem in a very red state during a very red year.

There's no "victory laurel" there. The Iowa straw poll is as irrelevant as lint in one's navel.

Just because you don't like the quote doesn't make the person citing it "left leaning".

It was a quote from Politico which is a left leaning news blog and the sources were unnamed

If you say so.
