Get the coroner, call the funeral parlor, and make arrangements with your fellow republicans. The slow and painful suffering of the Republican party will soon be coming to an abrupt and agonizing end.
Before you get into this bulletin, I'd just like to say that I was completely astounded by the sheer ignorance of every individual on that stage (except Ron Paul, of course) last night.
The display of madness both in calling the war a "Good idea, worth the price in both blood and treasure," and insisting that we were justified in attacking Iraq was mind boggling.
To take it a step further, many of them insisted that Weapons of Mass destruction that we sought in the outset of this war are still out there somewhere. Huckabee even insisted that they may have been moved to Jordan.
Let me make a few things perfectly clear:
1) The "weapons of mass destruction" scenario was based on what was later proven to be bad and forged intelligence. No evidence whatsoever was found that Saddam Hussein had any materials he was accused of having.
2) The weapons he did use against the Kurds in the 1980's, aside from not being nuclear, and having a short shelf life, were given to him by the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. Look it up for yourselves.
Therefore, referring to this useless and utterly rediculous set of accusations which were aired out and put away, then stating that "Bush was right" on perhaps the biggest mistake of his entire administration, has set the entire Republican Party up for failure.
That is exactly what is happening. These candidates, whether they know it or not, are purpousefully throwing the race. There is absolutely no way that a Bush-talking republican is going to win in '08, not after the disastrous administration we just went through.
Unless Ron Paul's message can resonate with the rest of America, the Republican Party is screwed. We need to get the message out there and we need to get the Republican Party back on track. Tell your republican friends "Just come home."

The Huckster's Take on Neocon Lies: Saddam Moved WMD to Jordan
Think Progress
January 25, 2008
During the Republican presidential debate last night, Mike Huckabee suggested that Iraq did have weapons of mass destruction, but that they were moved prior to the war. In making this observation, Huckabee compared Iraq's weapons of mass destruction to an Easter egg hunt:
Everybody can look back and say, oh well we didn't find the weapons. Doesn't meet that they weren't there. Just because you didn't find every Easter egg didn't mean it wasn't planted.
Chris Matthews pressed Huckabee on this point in an interview after the debate. "Do you believe there are WMD in Iraq that hasn't been found that would have justified the war had we discovered it?" he asked. Huckabee offered this response:
I think it's more likely that that weapons of mass destruction that we know that he at one time had, he used weapons against the Kurds, good chance they may have gone to Jordan. We don't know where they are.
Josh Marshall points out that, "if you keep up on right-wing moonbat orthodoxy," you'll know that it's Syria — not Jordan — where they allege the weapons were supposedly smuggled to.
The Bush-commissioned Iraq Survey Group, charged with determining the truth regarding Saddam's weapons programs, declared in its final assessment that "it was unlikely" that any such official transfer to Syria took place:
The investigation centered on the possibility that WMD materials were moved to Syria. … ISG found no senior policy, program, or intelligence officials who admitted any direct knowledge of such movement of WMD. Indeed, they uniformly denied any knowledge of residual WMD that could have been secreted to Syria. […]
Based on the evidence available at present, ISG judged that it was unlikely that an official transfer of WMD material from Iraq to Syria took place. However, ISG was unable to rule out unofficial movement of limited WMD-related materials.
The ISG concluded that "Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991."
