    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864

    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

    That’s why I love you Riley: You didn’t included Huckabee. Thanks! :)

  2. Riley, on June 12th, 2008 at 11:09 am Said:

    Yeah, no reason to include Dukakabee. It would only stir up his merry band of enablers to spam the poll.

  3. Ted, on June 12th, 2008 at 8:09 pm Said:

    This is not rocket science.
    Palin as McCain’s Veep.

  4. PWConservative, on June 18th, 2008 at 2:55 am Said:

    Mike Huckabee

  5. Timothy Watson, on June 18th, 2008 at 9:46 am Said:

    Mike Huckabee

    Negatory. If that’s the case I just won’t vote.

    Is Huckabee going to pressure the federal parole board (or John McCain for clemency) to release rapists/murderers like he did as Governor, so said rapist/murderer can go on to kill other people?

  6. Riley, on June 18th, 2008 at 9:51 am Said:

    There’s a reason why we don’t even list Huckabee on this and why we’ve referred to him as Mike Dukakabee for months.

    I know. That’s why I’ve got a link to Virginia Bloggers Against Mike Huckabee on my blog. :)
