Well I agree with Ron Paul of course, but Huckabee did a clever thing there. By couching the discussion in terms of honor, and making Paul look like all he cared about was the Party, he made his viewpoint seem more righteous, if not exactly right. Also, you gotta love the underdog's fervor, but I think in this case he looked a little ranty, and Huckabee looked more "presidential" (an adjective I feel dirty using, I'll have you know).
But Paul's right; the country was highjacked and the people were hoodwinked and when your leadership fails you that badly, it's time to replace it.
my god, the jowells alone preclude him from executive office.
Odd clip for me. I agree with ya.
There are two sentiments being sold. Paul is selling outrage, Huckabee is selling guilt. They both do fine theatrically, which is what interests me. This party appears to be in shambles. For the reaction to be so loudly divided between anger and guilt is kind of surreal. And I don't believe there was any feel-good tact left for anyone at the podium to take: Iraq is now a china shop and we are the bull, according to the mainstream Republican presidential candidate...
2008 is for a democrat to win and a Republican to guide, seems to me.
