#1 The lying asshole Huckabee then showed the negative commercial to all the press, and then his staff LEAKED IT. All guaranteeing that his negatvie ad woudl be a hot topic.

What a 2 faced slimy bastard.

Huckabee is the only guy other than Ron Paul that would have me NOT vote Republican.

#2 Ditto, OS. I might even vote for Bloomberg over him - Nanny B. is at least up front and lacks the hypocrisy & sanctimony.

#3 FYI Romney's "negative" ads simply out Huckabee on his record of being a pro-amnesty, instate-tuition-for-illegals, tax raising, weak on crime, murderer-pardoning nanny-stater.

WHat the hell is wrong with Republicans in Iowa? They vote for this asshole, last time they gave Buchanan 30% and prior to the Pat Robertson got 25%.

Iowa is full of morons, and the Republicans are cutting thier throats by letting a pack of idiots like that set the leaderboard for thier campaign in 08.

#4 Even the MSM press laughed at how baldfaced this lame effort was...

I think it'll backfire, big time

#5 "I'm Mike Huckabee, and I vehemently disapprove of this message! Look at it, folks, does that look like something I would say? I mean, really!!!"

#6 Iowa has a lot of compassionate conservative Christians and may be considered morons to those who only look at the bottom line and dance to big corporate interests. They tend to put family first.
Romney's co-pay sounds like a good plan to me...otherwise we will pay at least 18 years of social costs and/or incarceration or medical costs for disabled and premature babies born to drug addicted moms who do not or cannot care for them. Iowa also places a heavy emphasis on education for our future generations and hardworking bluecollar families barely making it on two part-time jobs without benefits deeply resent subsidizing anything for illegals. Midwesterners also have a lot of children serving in the Armed Forces and the Republicans have a real shot at picking up anti-liberal Dems dissatisfied with Pelosi and Reid. Likewise, Bloomberg and Hillary's big business ties don't play well, either, and Ron Paul actually has a real following over abolishing the income tax. Anything can happen this year.

#7 Y'know, Huckabee's right. From now on I'm not going to call that drug addicted black Muslim Obama a drug addicted black Muslim. And if my staff does it, I'll be really pissed off...

#8 Someone close to me went to a huck rally and said he gave a good show, no cue cards or anything. I mentioned that it isn't the message but the messenger. Thanks, shucksonme, for proving me right. Same crap as clintoon, arkansas farking politics.

#9 Danileee - you are a MORON if you don't look to consequences of such policies that Huckabee espouses - amnesty for illegal aleians, loose borders, coddling Mexico, nanny-state policies...

Nothing wrong with being a social conservative - I an myself. But I am not an unthinking boob who jerks the lever for Huckabee without looking to the truth about the man and his record.

Same for Romney an his socialized medicien. If you want to see the end result, look at England, look at Canada.

Fool.

God gave you a brain. Use it.

#10 didn't mean you personally, but you "in general" (plural) if the fakery of Romney and Huckabee are enough to fool yas.

And Iowa seems to be disproprtianately full of such self-important self-deluding idiots.

Put Iowa LAST next cycle - it is hardly represnetative of the Nation at large, nor of the Republican Party in general. c.f, the large portion that Buchanan, Robertson, Keyes, et al pick up there - fools pushing thier unelectable half-empty candidates on a half-empty pack of morons in Iowa. Small wonder nanny-stater Huckafraud and Flip-Flop Multiple Choice Mitt (the chosen one of the Country Club Elite) are in the lead, and boobs like Ron Paul are pulling large percentages.

#11 Iowa is not good at picking the final candidate either. I think that whoever wins Iowa, will fail to get the nomination for the Republicans. For the Dhimocrats, Iowa is enough of a social tit area that the winner might fully well get the nomination nod.

#12 Old Spook:
I definitely do not support open borders or coddling Mexico, or special privileges to aliens but we can't turn our back on our own elderly, infirm, or disregard the social consequences to all of society when babies are born out of wedlock to children, corporate greed imports cheap labor and exports jobs, slashes health care benefits and generally creates stress that cause families to disintegrate. Functioning responsible adults are the fabric of society and it seems only candidates of faith really "get it". We may need the nanny state for our own citizens to keep America from imploding, and my brain tells me we cannot afford illegal immigration, taking in all the world's wartorn refugees, and educating kids speaking hundreds of foreign languages in public schools funded by property taxes on homes depreciating rapidly. In general, people want someone who understands real life of Americans outside New York and DC. The caucuses are protest votes by cynical people tired of the status quo.
