Huckabee protests Washington results

I'm no fan of Rev. Scudder, but he does have a point here. The party machine seems to be playing favorites: just ask Ron Paul.

And lest we conclude that only one party pulls these kind of stunts, we should also talk to Denis the Menace.

Anyone who still thinks that hanging chads were a one time aberration in American elections just hasn't been paying attention.

AP - Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is crying foul after John McCain's apparent victory in the Washington caucuses on Saturday.

Hey Dave. Been too busy lately to even read any blogs. In November the HA got trampled in a political firestorm. You'll love this mess! November 4th. The elections are held in Terre Haute, and the incumbant mayor is defeated. The next day, the HA board of commissioners holds a special meeting and decides to put the executive director on administrative leave until his contract ran out on December 31st. Guess who gets instructed to change ever single password on the network, in the applications and the phone system. Grrrr..... The reason they did this - to create a job for the outgoing mayor after he finishes appealing the election. His premis is that the guy that got elected wasn't elegible to run because of the Hatch act. He worked for Hamilton Centers, which recieved federal grants yah, yah, yah... Anyway, this post caught my eye, and demonstrates how Ron Paul could become the next president. (continued)

Anyway, I've decided that Ron Paul is from Texas, and is therefore the most likely candidate. I think that since we wouldn't allow Texas to be a country of thier own, they have decided to run the whole mess. My evidence. In my lifetime, almost all of the presidents have had Texas ties of some sort. Eisenhower - born in Texas Kennedy - killed in Texas, to be replaced by a Texan Johnson - born in Texas Nixon - was vice president under a Texan. Sent thousands of Texans on fully expense paid vacations to Southeast Asia. Ford - Are you really a president if you never win an election???? Carter - Made thousands of Texans rich when conflict with Iran caused oil prices to reach record highs. Texas Oil Production increased 250%. Reagan - helped the newly rich Texans keep their money. Is it a coincidence that the most popular TV show during his term was "Dallas"? I don't think so.... Bush Sr. - made his fortune and political career in Texas Clinton - had sex with Texans. Which of course brings up a more important issue than the presidency - the domination of Texan's in the Miss Amerika pageants..... Bush Jr. - Can there be any explanation about why he was elected president other than the fact that he was born in Texas? I rest my case. Ron Paul will be the next president!
