It's a free country and even jackasses have the right to bray

So I was listening to a call-in show (not a conservative one) that was asking people who they would vote for if the election was tomorrow.

One guy said "Huckabee! He'll stop abortion, stop gays and abolish the IRS, replacing it with a sales tax so the drug dealers have to pay taxes too!"

My first response was "Lovely. Why don't you just SAY you hate women, gays, poor people and blacks and that the Huckster makes you feel 2 inches longer?"

What scares me is there are a lot of folks out there who feel the same.

Fair tax indeed. Again not taking into account that middle class and poor spend a higher percentage of their total income, and the rich invest a higher percent. Just another way for the rich to get a total pass.
