You mean this is the shirt that you were going to make, but you've decided not to, because you want to improve the tenor of the political discourse, and so you're just posting it here in order to show everyone the shirt you're not going to make? :lol:

ultimately i don't make anything unless someone buys it first. But i realized that putting the idea out in the marketplace is not the way i really want to present myself.
unfortunately, i had already put it up and didn't know how to delete the thread, and couldn't think of something to edit it into.
so I guess i'm using it now as an example of changing your mind about the suitability of one's own actions in a public forum.

Oh, and I thought you were making a witty commentary on Huckabee's infamous press conference...
In an act of political jujitsu, Mike Huckabee has halted a negative ad that he was about to broadcast on television Monday against his Republican rival, Mitt Romney. But while claiming the moral high ground, he proceeded to show the ad to a roomful of reporters, photographers and television cameras who are repeating his anti-Romney message for free while Huckabee declares that his hands are clean.

I'm looking to the more moderate voters in New Hampshire to vote for a better candidate. It seemed like the Iowa race was about who loved the Bible more, and since Mitt Romney has an extra book that evangelicals don't like, that didn't go down well. Hopefully, it wasn't about who could have won The Biggest Loser or has the best bad jokes that sometimes come out sounding cruel. Or about who would quarantine the most people with AIDS.

Huckabee revels in the class war. He’s Two-Buck Huck, and darn proud of it. He likes nothing better than playing the Hick from Hope. He and his wife lived in a trailer for a while, he points out. His son killed a dog one summer, “a mangy dog†at that, as Huckabee explained to the befuddled national press corps. He said he used to eat squirrels, cooking them up in his popcorn popper. Ewwwwhhh!
And what’s up with that Chuck Norris shadow, following him everywhere like a late-night rerun? To the establishment, Norris is a B-lister with a bad hair dye and a ’70s-era karate shtick. They prefer Bruce Willis – bald Republican action hero.
Huckabee has been telling people in Iowa that Republican higher-ups would never let him become the nominee because he “has a hick last name.†Wow. I’d like to be in on that focus group.
“For my family, summer was never a verb,†he says. Take that, Mitt Romney and your perfect family, costumed in Ralph Lauren casual wear down by the shore. And this: “Wall Street types are afraid to death of a guy like me.†You mean, a guy who lost 110 pounds and cooks squirrels in his popcorn popper?
And his astonishingly regressive tax plan, getting rid of the income tax for one that takes revenue from sales, would do for the rich what the late Leona Helmsley did for her dog in that infamous will.
Republicans in the three-home set should relax. Huckabee may occasionally lack class, but he’s no class warrior. You can have him over for dinner. Honest. Just hide the popcorn popper.

Why hasn't the mainstream press picked up on that fact that Hackabee crossed a picket line to appear on Leno? Working man's candidate indeed. Or is it that he is just so heinous that it is just a matter of course that he would cross a picket line and say screw you to all of the working folks that are picketing?

Actually Leno's writers did not picket him that evening, but the stagehands, production crew, etc. did. As a former production crew member (although not in Hollywood) I will attest to the fact that they are indeed working men and women.

Unions aren't as powerful as they once were and fewer people have qualms about crossing picket lines than they did 20 or 30 years ago. The people picketing aren't always right (though I think the writers do have some valid points.) Plus I don't think the perception nationally is that the striking writers share much comraderie with union steelworkers or coal miners.
