JERUSALEM – Former U.S. presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said Tuesday there should be no Palestinian state in the West Bank and endorsed Israeli settlements there, sharply disagreeing with Washington and much of the world.
A three-day tour of Israel, hosted by a far-right group of religious nationalists, is taking Huckabee to some of the most contentious hotspots in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict including a West Bank settlement outpost that even Israel's hard-line government considers illegal and an east Jerusalem housing project that the Obama administration has demanded be halted.

Can I say how weird it is for me to agree with Ann Coulter and Mike Huckabee? I guess dismissing nutjobs is really a bipartisan thing!

I've always been neither here nor there on Mike Huckabee, but actually I'm starting to really like him!
I saw this clip when I was at the gym today:
Also!! I caught a glimpse of them saying that there is going to be (or already is) a website where you can submit your ideas to "fix" the GOP and make us better for 2012...

"You should have been here in March," said King, who spoke at one of the earliest rallies in what has since become a nationwide phenomenon.

These days, political turmoil isn’t a one-way street.
President Obama’s mediocre approval ratings and the Democrats’ internal battling over the details of the health care reform plan are the obvious headline-grabbers, but the opposition party has troubles of its own.
Just 15% of Republicans who plan to vote in 2012 state primaries say the party’s representatives in Congress have done a good job of representing GOP values.

Even before Barack Obama was elected to the presidency, Rupert Murdoch had declared war on him via the personalities of Fox News Channel, a subsidiary of Murdoch's media conglomerate, News Corp.
Since Obama's election, the cable channel's hosts and paid analysts have launched a full frontal assault on the president, smearing his nominees, calling him a racist and suggesting that his administration was trying to persuade disabled veterans to off themselves.
Now the fearmongers at Fox are crying foul since the president and his aides declared Fox not to be a news organization.

'Values Voter Summit' or GOP Rally?
Last weekend's 'Values Voter Summit' in Washington could have been mistaken for a sort of off-year, off-brand Republican National Convention. Headliners included 15 current or former Republican elected officials or Cabinet members and no Democrats.
