Of course you are a condescending pleb, who just got his fanny kicked. No pleb likes being made to look silly, which is so easy to do with you.

Next week will tell what's up with Romney, Huckabee, and Iowa.

By the by, you are obviously a RINO.


Wren, you're hilarious buddy. I agree with you on a lot of things, but you're just so self-centered and cockey in your opinions that it's hard to take you seriously most of the time. Your mantra is always "I'm right, you're wrong, but I'm too good and too smart to tell you why." If anyone ever needed to get off their proverbial high horse, it's you. I don't think you've been down to earth in years.

BTW, I'm a progressive, liberal, atheist Democrat. Where in the hell did you get the idea I was a Republican? ??? ??? ???

Just messing with you, Dad. The reason I love popping your pomposity because you just described yourself.

Use some critical thinking, and I will respond the same way.

You haven't said anything resembling critical thinking in this entire thread. Maybe you should look in the mirror before casting aspersions at others.

Now you are sounding like TigerLily. Use reason and logic, and I will be glad to respond to it.

Throwing out aspersions doesn't do anything for learning, so let's get to it, Dad.

Let's see. Who here has already presented some reason and logic for their opinions?

There's also the recent Newsweek poll showing Huckabee with a 39/17 lead over Romney in Iowa. This poll was concluded on the day of Romney's speech and offers some interesting analysis about the evangelical base:

Questions about religion"in particular skepticism about Romney's Mormonism"appeared to play a role in the latest results on the GOP side. The survey was completed on the day of the former Massachusetts governor's much-heralded speech in College Station, Texas, addressing his religion, though most respondents probably had not heard it. Still, only a small number of the 540 Republican voters surveyed in Iowa (10 percent) said they wanted to hear more from Romney about that issue, and close to half (46 percent) said at least some Iowa Republican voters will not consider supporting Romney because of his Mormon faith. More than a quarter (27 percent) said they don't consider Mormons to be Christians, and one in six (16 percent) said they are less likely to support Romney because he is a Mormon.

Huckabee's religious credibility, by the same token, appears to be a key factor behind his surge. Huckabee has opened up a huge lead among evangelicals, who are likely to make up about 40 percent of GOP caucus-goers on Jan. 3, the survey found. Among all Republican voters who identify themselves as evangelicals, 47 percent support Huckabee while only 14 percent back Romney. Among nonevangelicals, the two candidates are dead even at 24 percent apiece. Even so, a majority of Republican voters indicated that other issues, such as abortion, same-sex marriage, immigration, health care and Iraq, are more important than religion.

I really wasn't impressed with Romney's speech and I'm not aware of too many people who were, other than Mormons, you and a couple of stupid, supposedly "lifelong Democrats" who read the Trib.


Hmmmm . . . that looks like me. What do we get from Wren in response? Nothing but empty platitudes and insults.

I gave back what you delivered, Dad, and I will always be ahead in the bop-o-meter. I never tolerate rudeness. Always be polite to me, and I will do the same. But I don't accept or tolerate nonsense from freak leftists or wingnut ultra rightits.

But if you want to talk issues, go ahead.

For one thing, the polls do not seem to support my gut reaction that MR did well in his speech.

If that is correct, Huckabee weakens Romney at the exact time that Giulani, who won't get going until the 5th or 6th primary state (that's where he is strong), is somewhat vulnerable.

So, if that's right: Romney's campaign begins to splutter, Huckabee's will peak, then Giulani's will explode Huckabee's like a tank taking a HEAT round down range.

Giulani wins the nomination handily.
