For a while now I’ve considered Huckabee to be my #3 choice in the Republican Primary, but that’s only because of his stance on the 2nd amendment. Fred Thompson comes in at #2 simply because he doesn’t appear to be a totalitarian nutjob like Romney and Guiliani do. Tancredo and Hunter are even further long shots than my #1 pick of Ron Paul so I can’t really consider them viable.

Anyway, onto Misha’s take on Huckabee:

Wow. What’s not to love?

He’s not merely a functional illiterate with less knowledge of U.S. history than your average EUroweenie fucking 2nd grader [Justin: reference to his knowledge of Cuba], he’s also a self-admitted opportunistic liar! Combine that with his hatred of his fellow citizens, calling them “racist and nativist” when they don’t agree with him that every single illegal immigrant in the country should receive for free, on the spot, what millions are waiting in line for decades and paying through the nose for, his tender heart when it comes to pardoning rapists and murderers, his love of raising taxes and his philosophy that we should deal with mentally unstable psychopaths like Ahmadinnerjacket according to the Golden Rule and it’s a wonder that he’s not ahead in the polls by 60 percent.

If he were running as a Democrat, that is.

At this point, all I can say is that the polls showing him way ahead as the potential GOP nominee in ‘08 had better be doctored by the MSM.

Ayup.

I personally believe that the best we can hope for in the Republican Primary is a knock-down drag-out brawl between Paul and Thompson.
