things I want us to do as a party and through this election process is once again make sure that people understand that when we lower taxes, when we cut spending, when we have a strong national defense, when we stick to our principles on the sanctity of human life and the primacy of traditional marriage and we also unapologetically hold to the idea that the second amendment is just as precious as the first amendment and in fact without the second, we don’t have the first, because we have no way to protect it. All of those things were a part of that Reagan coalition. I was part of it in 1979. a lot of the evangelicals who became part of helping Ronald Reagan to be elected. Over the year, sometimes republicans have thought that one part of that coalition was more important than the other. I think they’re all important and weapon need to recapture it.

“I think they’re all important and weapon need to recapture it.”

I couldn’t agree more with your post!

The problem with Huck is that, while he’s a staunch social conservative, he’s not and economic conservative, nor a national security conservative.
WRT, national security, I don’t think he’s serious given some of the statements he’s made.

“Huckabee is the anti-Reagan. He is a pure values voter candidate, with a big FU to fiscal conservatives. A vote for Huckabee is a vote to destroy the Reagan coalition, and to relegate the Republican Party to minority status for years to come.”

I am a conservative first, and the only party where I am welcome is the Republican Party.
I would hate to see it destroyed.

THEN WHY IN THE HELL DO YOU SUPPORT HUCKABEE??????

Sorry for the insult here - But are you just stupid, or are you lying above?????

Huck raised taxes over FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS in Arkansas -- that means raising taxes 250 BILLION when President. Huck TRIPLED SPENDING in Arkansas. Huck Released 1300 hardened CRIMINALS in Arkansas and now wants to Bring the GITMO prisonsers here ...

As another said - PAST ACTIONS ARE THE BEST INDICATOR OF FUTURE BEHAVIOR!!!!!
