Spineless As An Amoeba

“Insanity is unsuccessfully trying the same thing over and over again and expecting a positive result each time”; so said President Bill Clinton in discrediting President Bush’s efforts in Iraq; well, success in Iraq is nigh and President Bush stares at vindication straight in the eye as his change in strategy in Iraq continues to yield positive results by the minute. The surge is working and the cynics are experiencing difficulties in accepting the facts; once again, President Bush gets the last laugh.

Contradict this with the other “agent of change”, Hillary, who for 35 years has unsuccessfully tried the same old thing, obstinately expecting positive results and somehow rationalizing her failures as the opposition’s misdoings; could this be the insanity President Clinton was actually referring to?

Americans are stupid, retarded imbeciles who can’t discern fact from fiction; at least this is the logical conclusion one would decipher from Hillary’s rhetoric in describing her 35 years of failure as 35 years of change. One can not have experience and change at the same time!! The changes Mike Huckabee, Barack Obama and John Edwards are advocating are moving in a different direction from the status quo, away from Hillary’s incompetence.

The ubiquitous truth is that Hillary is not an agent of change, nor does she represent change. The only difference she would make would be occasionally wearing a skirt while advocating for the status quo. I strongly believe that a female President would serve just as effectively as her male counterpart; however, Hillary is not the right woman. She is easily the most divisive, unpopular and manipulative political figure, and Bill knows it too. America is facing serious challenges and Hillary is the wrong gamble to vet them.

If a democrat, Hillary is the biggest mistake Americans don’t have to live with.

Mitt Romney and John McCain sparred Sunday over their tax and spending records and who was a better agent for change, in the second Republican debate of the final weekend before the New Hampshire primary.

McCain, a senator from Arizona, listed the pork-barrel spending he has exposed, as well as an Air Force tanker contract he squashed. "I think it was a reason why I wasn't elected Miss Congeniality in the Senate," McCain said. "I have a record of saving billions of dollars."

Romney on the other hand represents a different kind of change; he literally switches his positions as a matter of principle. Just like changing socks in mid summer, the only constant in Romney’s dismal political career is changing his positions on matters of importance. From dissing Pres. Bush, to gay marriage, gun control, economy, religion, amnesty and above all, the sanctity of life.

Romney is as spineless as an amoeba, alternating his views to advance his fledgling political career. His flip-flopping trademark complemented by his negativity confluence in a sea of deceit and disillusion. Why would he confuse a cult, Mormonism, with Christianity when he perpetuates difficulties accepting the Bible as the true and only word of God?

A savvy entrepreneur he might be, but a conservative politician he is not. If a politician, he is the quintessential independent; pledging allegiance to none but loyal only to himself.

Just like Hillary, he is a mistake Americans don’t have to live with and wouldn’t surprise me at all if he deflected from the GOP to team up with her for an ambitious independent push; oddly enough, their antics have an audience; proof that there are suckers larking out there.

Fueled by Romney's criticism Huckabee spoke of "a brotherhood" of sorts with McCain, an essential strategy to dislodge the well funded and resourceful Romney. "We have both been brutally assaulted by Governor Romney with amazingly misleading ads that attacked and distorted and misrepresented our records, Romney attacking me in Iowa, attacking him in New Hampshire," Huckabee said. Romney has to stop lying and wasting all his money to publish deceit and misleading information on the other candidates; then again, that’s the same as asking a leopard to shed its spots.


As one would expect, being in the lead draws a lot of scrutiny from both the media and the public and only a genuine candidate can withstand this pressure. The straight shooting and honest Huckabee took time off his busy schedule to clarify some ambiguities stemming from prior verbal slips, a byproduct of hard work; fatigue. Huckabee succinctly reiterated his position on the issues unequivocally contradicting those who had sought to discredit him as a flip-flopper. "People are going to go through and nitpick. And that's fine," he said. "But I'll tell you why we won Iowa. We won Iowa because people believed that there was a need for somebody who had clarity in his positions. And I've stuck by those positions."

True to his word, he hasn't changed his positions on faith, family values, sanctity of life, gun rights, national security, immigration and President Bush's tax cuts. Huckabee acknowledged some verbal slips, which he appropriately attributed to fatigue and repetition; “I think most of us do, especially if we talk as much as politicians do."

Huckabee continued on high note from last night’s ABC/ FaceBook debate as he stomped the media circuits this morning. His success in last night’s performance, coming on the heels of his convincing win in Iowa, was reflected in today’s New Hampshire polls, where he predictably ascended from 4th to 3rd with a very positive chance of a strong 2nd or even winning it all in New Hampshire. McCain has staked all his presidential hope in New Hampshire and with the aforementioned alliance with Huckabee is the more likely winner of Tuesday’s primary.
