That was his idea of helping in Iran. Ronald Reagan and George Bush I armed both Iran and Iraq during the war in the 80s, and that is acknowledged now as one of the big problems of our intervention during that time. Is Rubio completely unaware of history and our effect on the Iranian people over the years?
It's too bad that Huckabee is now backing Rubio over Crist who is one of the few moderate and thoughtful Republicans in the public eye. |
|
|
This is huge pick up for Rubio. There is no better race that conservatives can send a message to the Washington, DC insiders that this primary in Florida. The NRSC has no business backing Crist in the primary. Hopefully Rubio beats him! |
|
|
People like Crist are exactly why the repubs lost. Conservatives, the true republicans are tired of these middle of the road politicians. Only when we get back to our conservative values and promote conservative candidates will we prevail. |
|
|
|
Rubio never, ever said he want's to "arm the protesters"
What he said was: "I have a feeling the situation in Iran whould be a little different if they had a 2nd ammendment like ours".
Moron!
|
|
|
|
What is so courageous about it? Huckabee wants to be President in 2012, and Crist is being hailed as a possible contender. The Huckster loses nothing if Crist loses this race. He has always been about himself at the expense of the Party.
And I say that as someone who thinks Crist is a RINO and should not be elected. |
|
that makes me itch any time I see him. One of those empty-get along people who've been making their smooth way from their first student council meeting.
His tepidness is all the more obvious here in Florida after the years of a true class man, Jeb. |
|

I am glad to see a public conservative take a shot at Charlie Crist who is another backstabing moderate that grow government and takes away American liberties. We don't need anymore moderates! We need Reagan conservatives! I hope all prominent conservatives will support publiclly Rubio over the RINO Crist! Get these damm moderates out of power, screw them! Look how these moderates have destroyed the GOP over the last eight years and now we have a marxist in the White House. |
|
1) It would be very easy to go along with the crowd and support Crist...I guarantee you that fraud Romney will support Crist....Huck is a principled man...he says what he believes and believes what he says
2) Rubio supported Huck in 2008 and will do so again in 2012; when the Huckaboom 2.0 takes effect. |
|
"Moderate" Republicans (read:RINO)are the problem. They should ALL be thrown overboard.
Let them go join the Dems. |
|
|
I agree with Wendy, the huckser left a bad taste during the last election. Go Rubio! |

I'm happy to see Huckabee getting behind yet another principled Conservative. I'm not sure Crist is beatable, but that doesn't mean there's no reason to try. |
|
|
They are already joining the Democratic party, and we welcome their support. The Republican Party is becoming a regionalized entity with very little future at this point. It's not a good thing to kick out the few remaining rational voices you have, but that seems a point that the GOP doesn't want to bother entertaining. |
|
on Huckabee. I remember last year, when he was harrassing Romney, how you guys were calling him a "Socialist" and making fun of every misstep.
Now you guys probably realize he's the only bright star you have with such dim bulbs as Sarah "The Flintstones was a documentary" Palin, Mitt "Magic Underpants" Romney and Bobby "How may I provide excellent service" Jindal.
My reservation about him is that he's still a religious nutter, but he's a likable religious nutter, because I think he actually GETS what Jesus was trying to say. |

KayAnn this notion that the Republican Party is becoming a regional party, oh and the Demoncratic Party is not? The Gallup Poll pointed out that this country is 40% conservative, moderates are at 35%, and liberals are 21%. See poll here:
http://www.gallup.com/poll/120857/Conservatives-Single-Larg est-Ideological-Group.aspx/
The problem is that since George Bush took the GOP to the left since 2000, the conservatives in the GOP base who bolted by 2006 after years of Bush's big government policies and entitlement programs, and finally amnesty for millions of illegals and a refusal to do anything about the border. I know because me and my whole family did so. Bush was a moderate and McShame was a moderate. The last election when we had real conservatives was 1994, then came George Bush who destroyed the GOP. The only true conservative on the national scene has been Sarah Palin.
What do conservatives have to do to win in 2012? You have to run a true conservative in the Reagan mold and get that 40% rock solidly behind ya, then you go for simply 1/3 of the moderates based on integrity and good governance and this will put one at 52% majority vote and the White House. That is what Reagan did in 1980 and it worked beautifully and he never compromised his conservative principles in the process. Personally I believe that Sarah Palin is the only political figure who can pull this off. |
|
"That is what Reagan did in 1980 and it worked beautifully and he never compromised his conservative principles in the process."
Me- Except when he signed arms reduction treaties, gave amnesty to illegal aliens, raised taxes, enlarged social security, ran the National Debt of to Four Trillion... but other than that, he was as straight as could be.
"KayAnn this notion that the Republican Party is becoming a regional party, oh and the Demoncratic Party is not? The Gallup Poll pointed out that this country is 40% conservative, moderates are at 35%, and liberals are 21%. See poll here:"
Considering 20% of self-described conservatives voted for Obama, that doesn't mean much.
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/polls/#USP00p1
All that tells me is that after 30 years of villifying the word "liberal", people don't want to be associated with it.
Of course, what you call conservative is actually being a religious reactionary... Sorry you can't see the difference.
But Palin's popularity is even plunging in Alaska..
http://politicalwire.com/archives/2009/05/07/palin_populari ty_plunges_in_alaska.html
"A new Hays Research poll shows Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) now has 54% positive rating and 42% negative rating among Alaskan voters.
That's a dramatic change from the 86% positive and just 9% negative a year ago.
By comparison, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) now has an approval of 76.3%."
Heeeeelllllo Gov. Murkowski!
Caribou Barbie is going to be shown the door in 2008.

LOL…Yeah since when did CNN ever have an accurate poll, oh yeah never! Please put your trust in CNN polls, this would make us conservatives very happy! I personally love the “self-described conservatives” these would be your Charlie Crist, Colin Powell, Olympia Snow, and Susan Collins types. These are not true Traditional Reagan Conservatives. Let them join the Demoncratic Party since they share the same political ideology.

LOL…LOL…LOL…Yeah know it is gonna be great when he is campaigning for Obama in 2012 against Sarah Palin because this guy is an idiot. Any first year political science class will tell you that any poll conducted with less than 1000 likely voters polled is worthless. Heck I learned this from a former Democratic strategist who happened to be one of my college professors. So you are asking why am I mentioning this point. Because this poll he cites by its own admission stated, “In this survey we asked 400 Alaskans about Sarah Palin and Lisa Murkowski.”. That is 60% less than what a poll would need to even be in the ball park of accuracy. My gosh with the intelligence levels like this Obama Drone, us Palin guys & gals will have much to celebrate about if she decides to run in 2012!

I take back the liberal part, but I still do not like the name (just being honest). Yet don't you see a drift in the GOP from when Reagan left office (save the 1994 revolution) to the "moderate" side? Can you really put Dole and Bush in the same category as Reagan? Would you consider yourself a conservative first or a Republican first. Just curious not trying to put you on the spot. |

Well, expanding Social Security I'd call a pretty major entitlement... but more to the point, we spent 4 trillion on weapons we didn't need to secure the collapse of an enemy that wasn't really a threat?
I want a refund!
AC-Yeah since when did CNN ever have an accurate poll, oh yeah never!
Me- CNN said Obama was going to win and.... he won. That's an accurate poll.
As far as Palin, I think the problem is that because she's been put on the stage as a national figure, people in her home state are scrutinizing her now.
And If I'm Lisa Murkowski, and I have a 89% approval rate and Caribou Barbie is down to 54 and sinking, and this See You Next Tuesday (think about it) was the one who toppled my father, I'd be looking really close at challenging her.
Keep in mind, how quickly people stopped talking about George Allen after he lost in 2006.

It seems to me that many have no idea the pull Palin has with conservative women, but Huckabee "gets it".
We are mothers. We are earners. We are tax payers. We do not want our children and grandchildren saddled with debt. We do not want hyperinflation in thier high school/college/graduation years to ruin their spirits.
Vote in 2010! And do everything you can in your state to get these snakes out of office. |

I love the name by the way! Hey if you don't like me I am fine with that. I am not exactly happy with how you clowns destroyed the GOP over the last eight years. I think as a political ideology your day in the sun is over, I love the fact that the GOP base is sick of your policies and political figures. Funny how after the election every Republican I saw on TV who is considered a contender for 2012 claimed that the GOP needs to get back to our conservative roots, which means under you guys and Bush we left our conservative roots. I love the fact that anyone eyeing 2012 is distancing themselves from the neo-cons. The problem with you guys is that you're too liberal for the GOP base and too conservative for the Democratic Party, it is a losing position to be in. |
|

Do you think Palin would accept a second VP slot? I am not sure that she would. I think she wants to be #1 on the ticket too much for that. I may be wrong, but why do you think she would do so? |
|
Anyone who insists on calling the Governor of Alaska "Caribou Barbie" should be dismissed.
We are talking about a person who changed the face of politics in a huge state, and is more knowledgable than most of us on many issues.
Face it, people--Palin knows more about the drilling industry and executive leaderhip than anyone else in the lineup. |

Good question. I don't know. I've heard Palin might run for Senate in 2010. I think it's a bad idea, although it would give her experience in D.C.
That's not what I want. I want less experience in D.C. For every one of our reps.

Love back at you! There are many women who support Gov. Palin. I went to her VP debate rally in St. Louis and got to see her and her whole family in person (including cute little Piper).
My sister (small business owner) and my Dad (war veteran and retired career military) went with me. |

Actually she ruled out running for the senate a while back. Funny in the news right now is whther she is even going to run for governor of Alaska in 2010 and just focus on 2012 full time, which many think that Tim Pawlenty is going to do. Personally I think she should remain as governor of Alaska and get two more years experience in before 2012. In 2010 she is a shoe in for Alaska, and it will be a high profile election. Also, I am sure she can run nationally and still effectively run her state.

Yes I know about your movement, led by Irving Kristol considered the father of Neo-Conservatism. I know that you guys back in the 1970's became disgruntled with the Democratic Party because you guys believed that L.B.J's Great Society went too far, but at the same time those of this movement are comfortable with F.D.R's policies. Many consider you guys to be the right wing of political liberalism, and I tend to agree with this conclusion. I do not use the term Neo-Con in a derogatory sense, it is an established political philosophy of which I happen to disagree with. It basically took over the GOP after Reagan, save briefly after the 1994 congressional elections. Yet it came back with a vengence under George Bush. Look as I said before Neo-Conservatism is a losing ideology. It's big government programs are too liberal for the GOP base which is why many conservatives stayed home in 2006 and 2008. It is too liberal for the GOP base, and too conservative for the Democratic Party. Personally I think it's day is over, the GOP base is sick of it. |

Yes, Palin creamed Biden. (Where is he, anyway?)
The media covered it up. I'm so sick of it I could scream. |

Hey, Neo, try making some sense. |

Thank you, Sir.
President Reagan, whom I admired greatly, was not any body's 'isolationist'. Nor is Rush...Nor is Hugh Hewitt...Nor is National Review.
There was a time when I admired FDR. Gone are those days, as are my Democrat days, though I remained registered that way until we moved from L.A. in '06 and settled in Central Florida. ONLY registered, mind you, having not voted for them since 1980--and, God, do I regret dimpling THAT chad!
Now..Into bed and my current wonderful Vince Flynn thriller,"Transfer of Power"...His Mitch Rapp series are ALL wonderful, intricately plotted and edge of the seat FUN! |

move by Huckabee for the country and FL. Seeing crist kiss up to the Messiah post election was the final straw. I figured Crist and Lieberman were inside shills for the Dems during the campaign, leaking directly to the masters the daily ins and outs.
Post election there's Crist getting his big taxpayer bailout and publicity with his Messiah, disgusting.
No time left for RINO's, they must got he way of the Progressive. Huckabee has the right answers, integrity, experience and proof his ideas work plus he has always been that way, its is pedigree. |

for Huckabee in the primary. But, he's doing the right thing by endorsing Rubio. Go, Marco! |

Me- Well, that's a sad commentary, isn't it? Why didn't we know that? The CIA had a budget in the tens of billions, and they couldn't tell us that?
Could it because we had an entire military-industrial complex that NEEDED a threat to justify it's existence and the trillions spent on defense?
People who visited the Soviet Union in the 1970's realized what the problems were, the ethnicities that didn't get along and the economic inefficiencies. That they had to spend half their GDP in order to keep up with us militarily. We knew from the Arab-Israeli conflicts that in combat their equipment was vastly inferior.
Where would we be today if we had invested those trillions of dollars in infrastructure, education, improving our industry to be more competitive? |

Actually, I wish I was in the UAW. I work for a company whose counts the auto industry amongst its customers (and I'm not saying more than that.) Actually, the last three jobs I've had were partially involved in the auto industry, that's how pervasive the Auto industry is. It's just not Chyrsler and GM that will suffer, it's hundreds of other companies that supply them. |

The Soviet paradox was the External Expansion and the Internal Decline. It may have been a 'wounded tiger', but that didn't make it less dangerous. The Soviets had far out produced us in weaponry in the 70s, at the height of so-called Detente--while Cawtah fiddled--and launched an ocean of blood in Afghanistan as an accurate read of Jimmah's weakness and kick in the head of American tepidness.

Sarah Palin is the top choice for Republican “moderates”, yeah that’s right Sarah Palin surprises all by being the top choice of GOP “moderates" and not just conservatives in the GOP according to the Public Policy Poll released today.
You can find it here:
http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2009/06/palin-moder ate-choice.html
“One interesting fact within our national poll looking at the 2012 Presidential picture last week: Sarah Palin is the most popular potential candidate with moderate Republicans.
61% have a favorable opinion of her to 53% for Mitt Romney, 50% for Mike Huckabee, and 44% for Newt Gingrich.
She's generally thought of as the darling of the conservative wing of the party- and she's the most popular there too as 83% view her positively to 79% for Huckabee, 77% for Gingrich, and 69% for Romney- but it may come as a surprise that she's tops with moderates as well.”
A new Pew Poll also has very good news for Sarah Palin:
http://people-press.org/report/524/republican-favorability
Among Republicans, however, the balance of opinion about Palin is more positive than it is regarding Romney or other leading GOP figures, Newt Gingrich and Michael Steele. More than seven-in-ten Republicans (73%) express a favorable opinion of Palin while just 17% have an unfavorable opinion. Romney, Gingrich and especially Steele are less familiar figures – among the public overall and Republicans – than is Palin. While comparable percentages of Republicans rate Palin and the other Republicans unfavorably, far more view Palin favorably. And Palin continues to be overwhelmingly popular with key parts of the GOP base – white evangelical Republicans (84% favorable) and conservative Republicans (80% favorable).
It seems that God has a sense of humor because both of these polls came the day after Eugene The Obama Drone claimed that Sarah Palin was done. Boy this has to really pissssss him offfff!

"The Soviet paradox was the External Expansion and the Internal Decline. It may have been a 'wounded tiger', but that didn't make it less dangerous."
Me- the point I made, that you ignored, was that the fact it was in decline was missed by the Reagan Administration, which had no idea that the Wall was going to come down a year after he left. The "Evil Empire" was just a collection of third world countries...
" The Soviets had far out produced us in weaponry in the 70s, at the height of so-called Detente--while Cawtah fiddled--"
Me- Yes, they produced a lot of inferior weapons that couldn't touch us technilogically...
"and launched an ocean of blood in Afghanistan as an accurate read of Jimmah's weakness and kick in the head of American tepidness."
Me- Actually, the Afghans invited the Soviets in to keep order. They had established a communist government on their own in 1978. What got those Soviet Afghans in trouble is that they tried to westernize the country, by educating women, getting rid of the Burqa, etc. You know, all the things you NeoCons say we ought to be doing.
Oh, yeah, and Reagan's answer? Hey, let's give a bunch of weapons to Muslim extremists... Hey, there's that Bin Laden Kid. Let's give him some guns.
"But, by GAWD, Jimmah showed Leonid what a tough guy he was by not attending the Olympics! Lucky us, we're now saddled with Cawtah-2 and every thug on the planet has him figured."
Actually, Carter and Obama both reflect the attitude of the day. After wasting blood and treasure in a war in a faraway land with no benefit to us, (Vietnam, Iraq) the American people aren't in the mood for pointless foreign adventures. The real problem BOTH of these guys have is that they are attempting to project power when they know that the public won't tolerate another war. |
