Lieberman was a bad pick because it was part of Gore's distancing himself from the highly popular Clinton presidency, but it was more a symptom rather than a problem in itself. I think most people's loathing for Lieberman came after the election when he became one of the go-to rightist Democrats for the Republicans.

Lieberman was always a bought and paid subsidiary of the insurance industry and AIPAC but he didn't really get repulsive until a few years after he lost in 2000... At least in terms of my radar...

Huh, that's weird. I think I love...Megyn Kelly.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/megyn-kelly-ribs-huckabee-women-cursing

quote:


When Fox News host Megyn Kelly read that her former colleague Mike Huckabee allegedly went off on "trashy" women at Fox News for cursing, she assumed he was talking about that one time she accidentally called him "Fuckabee" on-air.

"Megyn, you're the only one who's used that word in front of me at Fox like that," Huckabee joked Wednesday night on "The Kelly File."

The potential Republican presidential candidate made a splash Friday on the Des Moines-based "Mickelson in the Morning" radio show when he said he was taken aback by New Yorkers' use of "gratuitous profanity" while he worked on his now-defunct Fox News show.

“This would be considered totally inappropriate to say these things in front of a woman," he said. "And for a woman to say them in a professional setting — we would only assume that this is a very — as we would say in the South, that’s just trashy!”

Many who listened to that interview thought Huckabee was referring to his female Fox News colleagues. Huckabee told Kelly that the women at Fox were "lovely and delightful."

“Well I do have some news for you before I let you go," Kelly ribbed her former colleague. "We're not only swearing. We’re drinking, we’re smoking, we’re having premarital sex with birth control before we go to work, and sometimes boss around a bunch of men.”

"Oh, I just don't want to hear that," Huckabee responded.

Lieberman got repulsive after 9/11, when a lot of people who had previously been sane lost their goddamn minds and went full on anti-Muslim/bomb everything.

Will every GOP candidate sign this National Organization for Marriage pledge?

quote:

"I have to tell you, I am really excited about our opportunities this year. We're in the best position we've been in in years thanks to the support of you and other members of NOM. With a solid pro-marriage majority in both the House and the US Senate, populated by real marriage champions like Representatives Raul Labrador and John Fleming in the House and Senators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and newly elected Thom Tillis and Tom Cotton in the Senate, we are in a great position to advance critical legislation. In fact, our federal team is already hard at work on several bills including protecting the right of every American to be free of government punishment for defending the truth of marriage in the daily lives.

"In addition to work in Congress, we're also working behind the scenes to advance critical legislation at the state level, where a huge majority of pro-marriage legislators and Governors now hold office across the land. We're also working hard to make sure the next Republican presidential nominee is a trusted conservative and marriage supporter. We'll have an announcement soon about our new presidential pledge that we will ask every candidate to sign. It could be a game-changer in the presidential contest, because it is going to put candidates' feet to the fire. But all of this and more can happen only if we have the continued support of members like you. Please renew your membership today." - Brian Brown

Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich signed the 2012 pledge but sounds like this pledge is going to be much more crazy anti gay.

Any candidate with a brain wouldn't sign this, they'd get clobbered with it in the general. Hell, I thought the GOP was going to stop hammering same sex marriage as hard as were since it was clearly doing more harm than good.

I remember back in 2008 when he was one of the very few on the right not to try to pigpile Obama over Reverend Wright, going so far as to say on Fox (if I remember right) that as someone who grew up in latter days of Jim Crow he totally understood why African Americans of Wright's age might well still carry resentments. It was surprisingly reasonable of him.

Yeah, I was stuff like that. And when he answered questions , he seemed to actually think about each question rather going into robot mode and spitting out the correct sound bite. There was quiz on the BBC website, one of those "See which candidate agrees with you" things. I was really surprised when Huckabee came out as my lest "favourite" candidate.

Huckabee is one of the more frightening Republican candidates because he's smart, charming, and (relatively) sane, which makes him a one-eyed man in the land of the blind as far as the modern Republican party is concerned. He's just got the old-time religion.

I don't think calling a completely non-controversial popular pop star a whore is a relatively smart or charming thing for someone running for public office to do...
