Huckleberry voters noticing that Faux is (gasp) NOT "fair & balanced"!!
I'm sorry.. I'm enjoying this wa-a-ay too much. Now that CorpoGOP has decided that McCain will prevail, the standard marginalization of Huck has started in earnest. It is really quite cute how startled and furious they are..
http://youdecide08.foxnews.com/2008/02/10/huckabee-challenges-washington-caucus-results/
"It seems that everyone in Washington, and the media is so eagar to get McPain in the White House, they don’t care if anyone has voted or not, and that is probably why they don’t even bother counting all the votes in some states. Just because Carl Rove has decided who he wants doesn’t mean we have to raise the white flag right now. What is the big rush?
I agree with Huckabee, that we should just let the process run it’s course. At least let the states that haven’t voted yet vote, and it would be nice if all votes would be counted (only once).

Gulianni, Hulk Gov Arnold, and the rest of the sneaky group can stick McPain where the sun doesn’t shine. We have brains and can think for ourselves Whoever wins or loses at least give us a chance to vote and don’t disregard the voters just because you don’t like who we support. Manipulating Americas into thinking that their vote doesn’t matter at this point is low.

Carl Rove needs to crawl back under his rock and stop telling Huckabee supporters that their candidates don’t have a chance. We know he is behind. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out, but everyone has not voted yet, and many people who voted in the primary whoes candadate gave up may support Huckabee. He is the only true conservative voice running."

2. Now They're Claiming Voter Fraud
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Seems so convenient these days that if your candidate isn't doing well you...

1.) Blame the corporate media for ignoring your candidate
2.) Scream that any and all primaries are rigged against your candidate
3.) Blame the "establishment" no matter what...everyone is out to get you.

The fun is how McCain will try to "unite" the party...the more he tries, the more he pisses off the right wing.

8. Crying Wolf Gets Old...
It's not the corporate media's job to get a candidate's message out, it's up to the candidate...and by now if the voters don't know who they are and what they stand for, that's more an organizational problem than blaming being cut out of a debate or being slighted by some TV bobblehead.

I'll be interested to find out...again...if there's some real fire as to the vote count in Washington state. I'm also waiting for the first conviction or bona fide proof of vote tampering this year. It just seems like such a convenient answer when a candidate under-performs and cheapens the credibility of that candidate if its not proven to be so.

14. They're right. All those things have happened to their candidate.
The GOP establishment wants Huckabee even less than they want McCain. They did everything they could to promote Giuliani and Romney, but it wasn't enough. They've been actively trying to tear Huckabee down since at least New Hampshire. That's when I really noticed it, anyway.

I do find it funny that so many right-wingers are suddenly willing to cry 'election fraud', now that they've had a taste of being on the losing end-- but whatever. This problem needs to be fixed, and if they're going to help to push it along, the more the merrier.

15. No Argument From Me
If this is what it takes to get some real election reform and unification, then let the party begin.

The deal is there needs to be some fire to the smoke...several times we've had various campaigns complain of voter fraud and its been proven wrong...it's becoming a crutch for a campaign when they under-perform. It's like a sporting contest...blaming the refs. Yes, sometimes they make a bad call, but the team should have performed better during the game so they wouldn't have been put in such a bad situation.

Yep...the GOOP establishment is trying to crack the whip...reluctantly...behind McCain. For many, it's their meal ticket...they bet on other candidates and now are gonna suck up to McCain to get some of the juice of the campaign season. I'm glad to see this as the more he tries to "unite", the weaker he looks and gets.

5. Apparently they just pulled their heads out of the collective posteriors.




Even if only to come up for air.

11. "it would be nice if all votes would be counted (only once)" is the KEEPER of course
but your quote is a classic, even if questionalble :rofl: given the latter statement!

My thinking, "it would be nice if all votes would HAVE be counted in OHIO" of course!

12. Get fucked with Huck. This stupid wank hasn't even seen the

13. Followers of Radical Fundamentalist Cleric Mike Hucksterbee
need to take a time out and catch a breath.

Their candidate is perfectly positioned for the Veep nod and if that happens, AND McCain wins, there's a strong likelihood we'll be saying "President Huckster" in eight years, if not three.
