In your reply to my first post, Sig, you made two mistakes: First, you thought that the phrase "made him look like a rank amateur" was a cut at Huckabee. It wasn't. It was a compliment, because it meant that Huckabee made Jim Guy Tucker look like a rank amateur politician. Second, you compounded your error by failing to note a statement I made at the start of the post, namely that, as Bill Clinton had done in the case of Bush, I warned people not to underestimate Huckabee.
To make matters worse, you're the only person to read the original post who didn't seem to get it. That was evident from the tone of your response, which was dripping with self-righteousness and contempt. Then you were unable to admit your mistake, and trotted out the very old and very juvenile "I outgrew that type of response when I grew up" rejoinder. That alone indicates that you did not outgrow that type of response, because it was used to divert attention from the fact that you screwed up big time when you misinterpreted my original post.
You're a big boy, if you are going to call my motive into question, based on your own inability to interpret text, then you had better be able to take a barbed rejoinder. You're in the big leagues now, so don't dish it out if you can't take it.
To repeat, I did NOT insult Huckabee, I paid him a compliment. Yet, I will not vote for him for president. I bear the man a grudge. It's personal. I don't hate him, but I no longer trust him.
