There is great hostility to Govenor Huckabee by many freepers. Since Rasmussen is including Huckabee in the daily tracking poll, it seems he is gaining some traction. I am curious since many on this site have grave doubts about a Huckabee presidency, how many would go to a third party or would just stay home?
Little babies like to live in “make believe” la-la land. is this harsh? Yes, but this is dead serious and I'm sick and tired of those with baby mindsets.
Tell me, does it feel better when the knife goes in your back if the person holding the knife has an “R” after his name? Are your rights any less violated if the person who violates them is an “R”?
This isn’t a horse race where you go to the window to cash in because you picked a ‘winner’. This is about real values and real principle — life and death stuff — and more importantly, our liberty is at stake. When the “R” is little different than the “D” you are not even slowing the socialist train let alone reversing course.
My demise may come sooner if I vote third party but it’s coming too if I vote for the “R” who thinks like the “D”. I just refuse to vote for my executioner.
>>>But there is no way that Huckabee is going to be the nominee. So, this is kind of a silly question. He can enjoy his day in the sun, his very brief look at low double digits, but it will be short-lived.

You don't seem to be the brightest bulb on the tree...
This is why we have primaries, as I’ve been saying for (martyred sigh) almost two years now. I’ll vote for Hunter or Thompson in the primary, depending on who’s still on the ballot and what I’ve learned about them between now and next April. Once we have a nominee, I’ll decide whether and to what extent I can support him.

I'm sick am tired of the BIG LIE that there not a dime's worth of difference between the two parties. There are very big differences in many areas rthat are important. If you claim otherwise, you are either a liar or ignorant.
I won't help to elect either of them... ALL FOUR ARE CONNECTED...

Maybe not... but I haven't burned out like you...
Wrong! By voting third party or staying home you WILL be helping elect Hitlery or the RAT candidate. All the clueless wonders who voted for Ross Perot in 92 gave us 8 years of the Clintons.
[Could people just grow up?
The next election is deadly serious business.
A vote for a “third party” candidate is just a way of guaranteeing a coronation for Shilery.]
It is not us conservatives who need to grow up, it is rinos who would run a liberal like Rudy and pretend he is a conservative and we know that would be disaster. Witness Arnold of Caaaalifoornia.
I would vote third party rather than vote rino.
[Any conservative who concedes this election to Hillary by staying home or voting third party is a complete idiot.]
Any conservative who supports Rudy is a fool as well as a complete idiot to expect someone to vote for a person who does not represent their views. Devil be damned, full speed ahead.
BTW, I invite all Christian FReepers here to pray that a RAT isn’t elected to the WH!
Damn right.
[Wrong! By voting third party or staying home you WILL be helping elect Hitlery or the RAT candidate.]
Wrong! By voting third party I will be voting for my representive and not your liberal rino candidate.
Huckabee is unelectable just like Giulianni. Their names end in a vowel.

Well said indeed!
kindred: Any conservative who supports Rudy is a fool as well as a complete idiot to expect someone to vote for a person who does not represent their views. Devil be damned, full speed ahead.
Anyone who thinks Mrs. Clinton is the be all, end all of the '08 election has already conceded defeat.
How can any reasonable person suggest that fighting a war and terrorism are not related to illegal immigration and the SECOND AMENDMENT???
Burn baby, burn.
Giuliani can go to hell...
I am neither ignorant nor a liar.
Who said anything about a ‘dime’s worth of difference’?
Who said anything about the Party?
I said little difference between the CANDIDATES.
Hillary is pro abortion, open borders, gun grabbing, health care nazi control freak.
Huckabee is an open borders, anti smoking nazi, health care control freak.
Rudy is a pro abortion, open borders, gun grabbing, control freak.
All shades of the same color.
Thank you.
No, I'll vote for "Bullwinkle" and put an "R" next to his name...
And I'm taking my ball, too! ; )
Like the cheap insults and minor flame wars, we will see loads of posturing throughout the primary process. It's actually healthy and indicative of a wide field of candidates. It's true democracy in action, as opposed to the coronation of the socialist democrats "dark queen" followed by some high-profile political human sacrifices.
The only problem comes when or if we don't get a conservative elected as the candidate. Then you'll see a real split along ideological lines that needs to happen. You can only ignore your base for so long before you don't have one at all.
