posted by on December 18 at 11:15 AM

Fascism: Ron Paul, commenting on Huckabee’s Christmas commercial, drops the F-word.

King of the caucus: Everyone loves David Yespen.

Are you on the list? If you’ve ever voted or donated, probably.

Obama: More electable?

Conservative panic: About Mike Huckabee.

Meanwhile, conservative blogger Rod Dreher notes that Ron Paul's own Christmas video isn't exactly all puppies and atheists, either.

Just me, but I'm loving the GOP going insane over Huckabee's current run. Huckabee is starting to look like their Gene McCarthy. Welcome to the denouement, fools.

Ron Paul is a douche, but he's got the right quote for Huckabee. 'When fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.'

I keep seeing all the polls saying, after you ignore the headline teaser from the MSM, that basically all Dems are pretty happy with all or almost all of their candidates and that almost all Repubs are pretty unhappy with all or almost all of their candidates. And the Independents just aren't biting the tasty treats that the Repubs are leaving out for them ...

Gonna be a fun year in 2008! 400 days and a wakeup!

Well I'd rather have a douche like Ron Paul than a filthy stinking cunt like Hillary Clinton.
