That Darn Republican on Thursday, January 31, 2008 10:25:37 AM
It would seem that esteemed conservative pundit and consummate Buckeye Hugh Hewitt is starting up his spin machine against former Arkasas Govenor Mike Huckabee and Arizona Senator John McCain, however... he hasn't taken into consideration the RNC left none of its constituents with real choices... all for a blind tirade in favor of Mitt Romney? Excuse me... Mitt "Anti-Reagan" Romney? Ok, maybe Mitt's tooth polish is blinding you and rendering your ability to think on the fly mute. If I can remember Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter were the only real choices we had, and did they stand behind them, no... somehow infected by the notoriety game the left is blindly possessed with we are left with frosting rather than cake. Now the real question standards to be answered, is Mike Huckabee electable... and regardless of wether or not I agree or not, he is. If he is still in the race and coming in as the strong third... he is electable. What folks have to remember is if we gain a republican majority - the president is controllable. If Huckabee somehow gets the nomination the nation will be forced to look at thing in the light of what America really needs to deal with... with the supposition that if God truly rules in the affairs of men, He will be driving home the importance of pro-life issues, national sovereignty... same sex issues etc. Greed has been an issue from day one so is not the high issue on the totem pole. Bill Clinton's big "F" America with granting China "most favored trade" status and allowing a nation who [before such time] couldn't afford to build a nuke - now is illegally propping their currency, buying up ours and tipping the trade deficit in their favor. All on our watch with no answer from either side of the political isle - this is a huge matter of national security, McCain is inept in that area, and Romney [bless his heart] is untested. The only thing we have to go on is his past record which is flip-flopish at best.
Hugh... you couldn't call the liberal upheaval two years ago, and you are missing the point now. I am not a huge supporter of Huckabee, but it is a personal choice to vote for whom you feel a stronger tie to that you cast a vote for. Right now Christians are the most maligned people in society that happen to be the most productive and it shouldn't be that way... that is being maligned. We haven't had a good model in the Oval Office yet, and it may be the right time for him... who knows, but you aren't helping. One thing is for sure, I trust neither Romney, nor McCain to run this country... Huckabee is bright, and if it came down to him, he absolutely can handle Hillary, and Obama in a straight out debate on the issues, the left has platitude, not platform. We will triumph in the end. Our framers left us a two party system for a reason because one is either right, or wrong on a given issue and no room is given for fence sitting [a third party approach]... may I suggest you withdraw the fangs a little and let your Calvinist virtue be a bit more visible than [perhaps] Mormon tactical clarity? Mike Huckabee has the right mind and right heart for the country... the office of President isn't the whole government, but the voice of a direction. Coincidentally, the number 8 in the Bible is the number of new beginnings - Christ was risen on the first day of the new week - or the eight day. This is a dire stretch for America if we get it wrong, I'd rather have a man in the office that know's how to get on his knee's and invite the Wisdom of God Almighty, rather the cynical rantings of mired in conventional wisdom... when push came to shove, but it should never come to that.
