My Dream Ticket - Huckabee vs. Whoever
By Kvatch
The California presidential primary approaches, and frankly I no longer care which Democrat wins. My man Edwards is out of the race. Senator Obama is unqualified and Senator Clinton is a corporate shill who I don't really think will change anything.
That is not to say I don't care how this election shapes up. I do. The fact that a Democrat is probably going to romp notwithstanding, I want my party's standard bearer to beat the right opponent, and by that I mean the right opponent—the far right—as right as it gets, and that's Mike Huckabee.
"Why Huckabee?" you might ask. After all, on a number of issues, like incarceration, he's more progressive than his GOP stablemates. Nope...it's because evangelical conservatives are lining up to support him, and they're my real target. You see I want a repudiation of the, "God's country," "Christian Nation," "...my country right or wrong," wackos who've controlled debate for a couple of decades now. I want the Constitution to again be the supreme law of the land and liberty to be our guiding principle. In short, I want there to be wailing, rending of clothing, and gnashing of teeth from the buckle to the tip of the Bible Belt!
I want to see money-grubbing televangelists laid low, with the IRS as the avenging angel. I want some good old-fashioned book burning. Keep the Bible but pile up the pseudo-religious pamphlets—"Your's for only a $20.00 donation to our godly ministry!"—bring on the gasoline, and light 'em up!
I want to see 12-step programs for neo-cons. "Hi. My name's Paul Wolfowitz, and I used to flog the idea of preemptive war. - Hi Paul". I want every Republican who ever used the term 'gay agenda' to occupy a special float in the next San Francisco Pride Day Parade. In short, I want Huckabee because he's the standard bearer for a group that typifies everything that is wrong with this nation. I want him to lose and lose badly. Then...and only then, I'll start to hope.

Well, I got to the same place from a different starting point, but we're adopting the same approach, Kvatch.
Happy voting!
Sounds like a plan to me; I'm ready to get my country back. The one that allowed us to "live and let live" (how is that for a 12 step plug?). I think the neocons are pod people...
Right on dude!
But as to making the lying, conniving, demented godbothers see the error of their ways, they wouldn't if God himself tattooed "I'm an idiot" on their foreheads.
Congrats on the new blogging home, Kvatch! You'll be a great addition to an already great blog.
