People not watching the early polling states closely may be taken by surprise. Hotair’s Why Huckabee wins with the values voter is just what they need to read.

The surprise is more that conservatives are backing Huckabee; Rush has been stating that “he is not one of us” although not in those exact words. Huckabee is a strong social conservative, No on abortion for example, yet for values held by conservatives that don’t go to church he is lacking.

The Christian right knows Romney is associated with Massachusetts politics: Gay marriage, Abortion, The S-2205 vote shows Massachusetts politics as pro amnesty … All that may be fine with Rush, but is less than what the Christian right wants.

McClain, authored and amnesty bill, although he called it a children bill or something. Oh, ya a bill to allow people to not become citizens but stay as long as they want and work for cheap wages to prevent inflation. That anti wage inflation bill. Although he has seen the light and does not support any bill that uses the word amnesty. Take that word out he is ready to sign.

Fred, failed to get support, as well as many other possibles.

I tend to keep a considerable amount of the stuff I am currently working with on my desktop. And, I tend to have many programs / windows open. You can right click on the windows tool bar and select “show desktop.” But, that process takes a lot of time; There is also very little space when many programs are open on the windows tool bar; there is an easier way.

Unfortunately, windows itself does not provide an icon that can be placed onto the top section of the start menu; But, a script file can be made and a shortcut to that script can be placed onto the top section of the start menu.

A simple vbs script that can be placed in a file named desktop.vbs consists of the following:

Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject(”Shell.Application”)
objShell.MinimizeAll

You can copy and paste that code into notepad, then save as desktop.vbs - once the file is created open the folder that contains the file and using the right mouse button (not the left) click and drag it down to the start button; the start menu will open; drag it to the location you want to have the icon and let go of the mouse button. Your shortcut will be created and can be renamed.

Now to use it click the start button, then click your desktop option, that is all there is to it. For me the script is easier to use and faster than the normal way of showing your desktop via right clicking and empty spot on the tool bar.
