I know that FR has become a place to bash any candidate that isn’t your choice, I’m not going there. I simply stand by my statement that John McCain realizes we are AT WAR, as does Bush. If everyone else realized that, we would be in great shape.

BASH.... McCain is the KING of BASHERS and his undermining and attempts to run Rummy out of town every minute of the day and night was NOT about winning a WAR. It is just too bad that McCain wasn't on OUR side instead of HIS side.

I agree. McCain appeared to be a small, petty, mean-spirited old man, while Mitt remained a gentleman acknowledging McCain's service and sacrifice. I wish Romney could have pointed out how McCain and his Gang of 14 have stabbed the conservatives in the back time and again in the last few years.

I think Rudy911 and McCainHanoiHilton are going to milk their tickets to fame for all they are worth until the end. I guess I cannot blame them.

It's pretty clear, though, that FOX and Rudy are happy to throw softballs at McCain and Huckabee in order to continue to keep them in the race to split the conservative vote so Rudy can win. The smart thing to do is unite behind the one conservative who has what it takes to beat Rudy (see tagline).

Also, while Huckabee seems to have a winning debate style, this is about winning the White House with conservative principles. We cannot forget that Huckabee opposed legislation that would deny government benefits to illegal aliens. How is that conservative? Also, anyone who insinuates, like Huckabee has done, that those who want the border secure and our immigration laws enforced are racists or bigots is not the kind of conservative our country needs right now.

In addition, he offers more of the same in the tax and spend department and will do nothing about changing the current wrong-headed course in Washington.
Mike Huckabee, The Sam's Club Candidate?
About Gov. Huckabee, the Club for Growth, which aims to be a gatekeeper interest group in 2008, is adamant. The group's leaders in Washington do not like him. He's the only person with his own category on the Club's blog. They point out that the state's per capita income is, by some measures, the second lowest among 50 states. They say he raised taxes five times -- a gas tax increase in 1999, the cigarette tax hike, tax increases in '2004, a tax on beer and a tax on nursing homes...He is certainly not a traditional small-government conservative...
