Once upon a time someone in my household registered Republican in order to make a protest vote in a primary, so we get most of the mail and the phone calls. I thought that with the election being over (although my congress critter is not yet decided) the phone calls would stop.
But tonight (11-14-2012) the landline yielded a Robocall from Huckabee. They’re trying to raise $125,000 to get advertising on to FOX news to get the 47 Republican senators to repeal Obamacare.
This is absurd. It is a Democratically-controlled Senate, this is a waste of money. Obama would veto any such measure anyway.
So… what is he trying to do?
He’s trying to separate fools from their money. And screw up the Senate, and perhaps support FOX a little bit. But mostly get more money.
To advertise on FOX. Remember, Huckabee works at FOX News.
After all, with the election done, the revenue is not as rich as it used to be.
Rove goes after the billionaires; Huckabee goes after those who are angry and disappointed. I guess it’s niche GOP grifting. Fox cashes in on them all.

Tired of politics? Need to escape? Try my Greek mythology based novels, either the story of Oedipus from the point of view of Jocasta, or a trilogy about Niobe, whose children were murdered by the gods - or were they?
