I will never vote for Huckabee.

I'm a reluctant Huckabee supporter. For now, he is the candidate least objectionable to me. Which is not saying much.

Can you please tell me why you would say "I will not vote for..."? Never-mind if you can't vote for him on principle. I can understand that. But why would you say it? What advantage does it give you to reveal your position? I don't see how you can persuade people that way.

We should stick to arguments for and against our candidates instead of firewalling our opponents with feelings. We should attempt to provoke intellectual responses instead of emotional ones. A few fellow FReepers have cast doubts and concerns in my mind about Huckabee. But then so many others make me so angry that it is hard to contemplate alternatives. It seems that very few have made positive overtures for their candidates. That may be because of human nature's inclination to the negative and/or my own ignorant blindness to it.

Know Thyself

"The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates

Romans 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

“I will never vote for Huckabee.”

I will never vote for Romney, nor will anyone else other than mormons or the uninformed about mormonism.

The issue is not going to do away.
