I *hate* the Ted Fonda Liberal Opinion Network.
All night last night, I watched on CNN pie charts showing Nanny Huckabee, Mitt Romney, John McCain-Feingold, Fred Thompson, and "Others."
The pie charts would lead you to believe the 15% of caucus goers in the "Others" category were fairly evenly divided between Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani, and Duncan Hunter.
It was only when you read the scrunched up tallies at the bottom of the screen that you saw that Ron Paul spent much of the night 1% or less behind Fred Thompson or John McCain-Feingold.
It seems 11% gets you your own slice of the pie chart, while 10% gets you lumped in with the "others."
I suppose I shouldn't expect any better from the Ted Fonda Liberal Opinion Network. After all, they must be products of Outcomes-Based Education, because they seem to believe Ron Paul is a Democrat.
"If the federal government is truly serious about doing something with the AIDS virus, we need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague," he wrote. "It is the first time in the history of civilization in which the carriers of a genuine plague have not been isolated from the general population, and in which this deadly disease for which there is no cure is being treated as a civil rights issue instead of the true health crisis it represents."
And just wait until you see how he now justifies having held those views.
"Fifteen years ago, the AIDS crisis was just that, a crisis," he said. "There was still a great deal of, I think, uncertainty about just how widespread AIDS was, how it could be transmitted.
Bullshit. As this 1987 PSA demonstrates, we knew before then that AIDS was transmitted through blood or sexual contact. Ryan while had been dead two years by then. There was no uncertainty by 1992 about how AIDS could be transmitted.
In the very late 1980's, I came home to Sturkie, Arkansas, from college one weekend to find my parents very upset. They hadn't slept at all the night before.
Their cattle that they were pasturing on rented land had disappeared.
When they found who had taken them, it was a couple who had bought the land from the man my parents were renting from.
They had had an agreement with the man that they would be allowed to use the pasture until the first of the year. He had told the buyers this and they agreed.
But they had loaded up the cattle and taken them to their farm anyway and wouldn't let my parents have them back until a trial happened. My parents couldn't even go look at the cattle to make sure they weren't being mistreated or neglected without a police escort.
During the trial, the couple claimed that since both agreements were oral contracts, they were not binding. Not surprisingly, the judge ruled otherwise and my parents got their cattle back. When they were returned, however, they were all sick and my parents lost a lot of money on them in ADDITION to the court costs.
The husband was later convicted in a seperate case of two counts of cattle theft. The wife testified in his defense.
All this information is verifiable in the County Clerk's office of Fulton County, Arkansas, in the county seat of Salem.
And that is why I will never, EVER vote for Mike Huckabee. In fact, if he's the Republican nominee, I MAY have to vote Democrat instead of Libertarian because the stakes are so high. In appointing this woman, he exposed himself for the disgusting and reprehensible pro-theft subhuman piece of filth that he is. And if YOU vote for him, you better not let ME find out about it, because I may never talk to you again.
"Governor Huckabee, same question. Do you need Congress to approve such an action?
HUCKABEE: A president has to [do] whatever is necessary to protect the American people. If we think Iran is building nuclear capacity that could be used against us in any way, including selling some of the nuclear capacity to some other terrorist group, then, yes, we have a right...
Probably not many Christians will pray a prayer like this, but a Southern California pastor might as well do. He encourages his flock to pray for the death of those who opposed his endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee by using his church’s stationery and Internet program.
