Posted on 21 September 2009 by Charley James | Comments (0) | Tags: Charley James, Mike Huckabee, Value Voters

by Charley James
The so-called “Values Voters” held their annual hate-in and what a surprise: Mike Huckabee won the straw poll of presidential contenders, taking 148 of the 500 votes cast, a whopping 28%.
Huckabee, the silver-tongued, jovial Baptist preacher now best known for losing weight, charmed the crowd gathered in Washington over Rosh Hashanah weekend –Shanatova, [...]

Progressive Inspired by Mike Huckabee(!), Now Running for Paula

Posted on 12 September 2009 by Denis Campbell | Comments (0) | Tags: BlackRiverProject.org, BringPaulaHome.org, Governor Mike Huckabee, Mike Huckabee, Paula Persechini-Pettiti, Victoria Nordgren

By Denis Campbell
Normally a former Bible Belt Southern Baptist minister, governor of red-state Arkansas and unsuccessful Republican Presidential candidate and I would have precious little in common. But it’s time for a true confession. Mike Huckabee was indeed an inspiration to me for the last 10-months.

Hannity Insanity
Few people are better at creating a Krauthammer-lauded “alternate reality” than Fox’s Sean Hannity. Columnist Dick Polman provides an excellent example:
On his Fox show one week ago, Sean Hannity told his credulous fans that President Obama had made a deliberate effort during his Cairo speech “to give 9/11 sympathizers a voice [...]

About The UKProgressive

UK Progressive began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign. It replaced two blogs: "Outside the Boundaries" (dedicated to US/UK Politics and Business) and "Fire the Guru!" an expose of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly known as The Vadimus Post from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'

We publish from a 19th century hilltop farmhouse in Monknash on the South Wales Glamorgan Heritage Coast. US-journalist Denis Campbell, based in The Netherlands and UK for 12-years is the publisher/editor. You can follow his live news feed on Facebook.com (Denis Campbell) and Twitter @UKProgressive.

UK Progressive is a free service. I cringe every time I hear a pbs, truthout or npr never-ending appeal for money. They make much more than we do. We're not your mother, we'll skip the guilt trip.
