They don't have any thing of value that they can part with. As a starting point for a compromise, I would suggest allowing state and local governments through their elected officials decide on issues like abortion and homosexual marriages. This is not something the courts should be deciding arbitraily. Often times the courts have been used to strip rights away from so called religous conservatives. Let the voters decide on whether or not we will have things like abortion, homosexual marriages, whether or not prayer is schools shall be allowed, and whether or not we can have nativitiy scenes at Christmas. The powers that be within the Republican party need to focus on returning power to the voters and not on ignoring or fighting against religious conservatives. Busboy33

This isn't petty in-fighting- it goes to the heart and future of conservatism. Thought you hit it right yesterday on BlogTalk with Michael VDG of the Poligazette when you said that half of the state parties are controlled by so-cons. I live in a Red midwestern state with a 2/1 GOP voter registration differntial. Yet, as a direct result of the GOP's Great Divide, we have a Dem Governor and AG. My state often battles over inserting intelligent design (creationism) in biology texts, which is very disconcerting to secular conservatives. An aside: <i>go home to your momma</i>. Love it- you crack me up. Rick, hell of a post. This isn’t petty in-fighting- it goes to the heart and future of conservatism.

I am not a Huckabee supporter (I prefer Romney or McCain). Huckabee has a bad habit of making "oopsies" that allow him to go negative but pretend he is not. As Rush would say, this is too cute by half. But if you take the time to listen to what he actually says (instead of what is said about him), his message is quite reasonable. I listened to Hannity debate Huckabee the other day (right after Iowa). Hannity tossed out ALL the usual criticisms against Huckabee and the Huck fielded them all with reasonable and credible rebuttals. Frankly I think the out of hand rejection of Huckabee because of his professed beliefs is religious bigotry of the highest order. Equally as repulsive as the bigotry evangelicals get accused of for failing to support Romney. After bothering to actually listen to Huckabee (since Iowa) I can see full well why he gets the support he gets. It comes from people that actually listen to him and not just to his critics. And before I get tossed into the pile of dismissed perspectives for being just another ignorant religious zealot let me just say I am a voracious blog reader, talk radio listener, news watcher and Ann Coulter/Michelle Malkin groupie. And yes, Huckabee foreign policy would probably be Carteresqe but I think war fatigue has placed many Republicans in a situation where they would be relieved to see us pull back on the world stage. Even though that would probably be bad in the long term. Oddly Rick I think Huckabee aligns with your feelings on all but social issues pretty well. Assuming you listen to what Huckabee himself says. P.S. I take no responsibility for spelling or grammer.

My dear mother died eleven years ago. You may wish to know that I was the Chairman of the Board of Governors of a University College before I retired. I have opinions, and strong ones and the right to express them. What's your excuse? <em>And I quote: <strong>HAHAHAAHAHA! With glee.</strong> What matchbook cover "University" were you Chairman of the BOG? And the above would indicate that your emotional development was stunted as a child. I don't need an excuse. You need therapy.</em> Well hello Rick,

I’m 61 years old. My dear mother died eleven years ago. You may wish to know that I was the Chairman of the Board of Governors of a University College before I retired. I have opinions, and strong ones and the right to express them.

What’s your excuse?

And I quote:

HAHAHAAHAHA! With glee.

What matchbook cover “University” were you Chairman of the BOG? And the above would indicate that your emotional development was stunted as a child.

I don’t need an excuse. You need therapy.

Whilst the world has moved on the inmates have taken over the asylum that is the Republican Party; you corporatists thought that they were just playing, but wrong; they were planning, evolving and getting ready. Now you can't win without them, and if you dump Hucks then many of them will look for another Christian candidate - either third party or Mr Obama. HAHAHAAHAHA! With glee. Malcolm Well the Republican Party is about to hit the rock bottom that it deserves. Whilst the world has moved on the inmates have taken over the asylum that is the Republican Party; you corporatists thought that they were just playing, but wrong; they were planning, evolving and getting ready.

But because it's easier not to seek the truth; people believe the lie that is evolution it's just like some voters beleive the lie that Huckabee is conservative. It's like the lie that Fred was going to drop out of the race and endorse McCain. I guess if a lie is repeated enough then some people will believe it when common sense points in the opposite direction. I suggest Stephen Green read "Starlight and Time: Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe" by Dr Russell Humphreys. Fred Thompson is the Common-Sense Conservative. Being a Christian makes Fred the logical choice. I'll keep donating to Fred campaign till Fred is elected President of the United States. I would like to see Fred behind a pulpit every Sunday, the strong spiritual image would help. But we know Fred does not pander for votes like his competition.
