Mike Huckabee is a liar!!!!

[DaShi]

I know!! I didn't believe it either!! But then I just got this response from Amazon.com.

Please note that shipments with delivery confirmation numbers are
not actually trackable--the Post Office merely provides confirmation
that the package was delivered, but can't always tell where a
package is while it is en route.

Ball's in your court now Mr. Huckabee!

This is actually not entirely true any longer. Packages are not currently trackable per se. However, letters are, with the new Intelligent Barcode technology which has yet to be rolled out to packages (but eventually will be). If some of your spammail starts coming with different looking barcodes that are tighter spaced, have more bars, and have bars that go both up and down (as opposed to the old PostNet barcode that's just |..||...||..|), you've seen it.

[SlowwHand]

Go both up and down? Part 2.

Man, don't you people anally follow campaign speeches?

I like you, too. We know we got borders that have been left untouched. And as a result of that it's harder for you to get on an airplane in your hometown than it is for somebody to cross the border who has not a scrap of paper on them and we have no idea who they are. And here's what's really amazing. Half the people who are now illegals here on this country came here legally but they're living here with expired visas. It's not bad enough that our government can't secure the border, that's the first thing I'll do, we'll secure the border with American labor and American fences in 18 months. But the really crazy thing is that our government who issued people a permit to get here lost track of half of the people who are here who never ever got their visa renew or went back home. Now, how incompetent is it? How dysfunctional is it? When our government says there are millions of people here and we have no idea who they are and we have no idea where they are? Look, if you order something today on Amazon.com, they'll give you a tracking number. And you know what? You can find out exactly where UPS has that book you ordered. You'll know whether it's in the warehouse, whether it's in the truck, in transit or whether its at your door. You can log in on the Internet and you can know exactly where that book is. If Amazon.com and UPS can keep with $5 book, are you telling me that our federal government can't keep up with 10 million people? So, this I pledge to you. We will either fix it ourselves as a federal government or we will give that job over to UPS and they'll be able the find those folks.

So Mike Huckabee doesn't see any real difference between an inanimate object and a sentient, locomotive being?

Oh, please dear God, let him win the Republican nomination.

I think Huckabee is smarter than DaShi...

This is, entirely, accurate. If you have it shipped UPS, it will tell you exactly where it is (even if they've lost it, it'll tell you where they lost it even!). USPS != UPS. UPS is the people with brown trucks and brown uniforms, and the weird white board on TV. USPS is the post office, they take your letters and lose them, and have white trucks and blue uniforms.

"Delivery Confirmation" is a USPS term referring to the USPS' initial, crappy 'tracking' system.

[DaShi]

Touche, Mr Huckabee, touche.

[DinoDoc]

That must be emberassing for you DaShi.

[DaShi]

Sorry, DD. Got in there before you could get your jibe. Better luck next time.

[Flubber]

So are you acknowledging that Huckabee was not a liar or are you looking for more lies to keep the thread going?

[Jon Miller]

I know people (on other forums) who are seriously upset and opose Huckabee because he isn't tough enough on immigrants (in Arkansas).

I feel a need to return to this:

If Amazon.com and UPS can keep with $5 book, are you telling me that our federal government can't keep up with 10 million people?

This is, quite honestly, the single stupidest thing I've heard any candidate say to date. I can't believe this guy was allowed to run a whole state -- even allowing for the fact that it was Arkansas.

[dannubis]

So you have to vote for someone who pledges himself to hunting down illegal foreigners who are working in your country to do ****ty jobs nobody wants to do in the first place for their pay ?

Wasn't this guy a christian nutjob?
