They hire politicians, they don’t trust them or believe in them or follow them.

Huckabee is just an embarrassment to them and probably wouldn’t cut their taxes. But, having the religious Right vote might make him electable. That would truly be a huge embarrassment to the Rich — who think they control who gets elected.

Of course we knew that. But it’s still surprising to see him parade his selfishness in front of the world. Republican values. Only money counts, and there isn’t any money in being a Supreme. </p> <p>What a pitiful excuse for a man.</p> What an asshole! Of course we knew that.

What a pitiful excuse for a man.

The rhetoric suggests he doesn’t really have any understanding at all of the Iran. Now I don’t think he’ll do the bombing thing, despite his well demonstrated propensity for that activity, but am uncomfortable in the extreme with someone opining on a subject where they demonstrate a clear lack of knowledge. That’s the sense in which he is a neocon, as well as his pride in how the military solution worked when he was in charge.</p> I think the rhetoric is the true Clark and the diplomacy is lip service.
