Appeal to Mike Huckabee, be a conservative Hero
vanity | 02/01/2008 | FreeAtlanta

Posted on 02/02/2008 7:24:12 PM PST by FreeAtlanta

Dear Mr. Huckabee,

For the sake of the Republican Party and your future political viability, please consider stepping down before this “Super” Tuesday.

I know this is asking a lot, but most conservatives despise John McCain as a politician. If you cause him to be selected in the primary, this will hang around your neck like an albatross. You will not be able to remove it. If you think you will have favoritism from McCain, first, you can't trust him and second, he will not be elected. The base, a good percentage of what would be your future voters, will not vote for him. He will loose to the Democrat candidate, and your political future will be over.

If you have people reading this forum (I strongly suspect you do), then please consider backing out of this race. If done correctly, you could elevate your political future and gain the appreciation from a very dedicated national base.

You do not want "moderate" or "independent" love, because they are so fickle. You do want our respect. Please step aside for now.

Thank you,

Free Atlanta

He would not have lost Florida, if not for conservative votes being pulled away by Huckabee, Thompson, Guilani and Ron Paul. If not for the Iraq stuff, I would be tempted to look closer at Ron Paul!

The liberal "Republican", the RINO, won Florida, barely. A few Huckabee votes for Romney, and we wouldn't be worried about the unstable, angry, illegal loving liberal who is about to gain control of our primary.

Vote your conscience.

Huckabee, I am not a "political consultant", but if you continue down this path, I know your political future is spent. Your books won't even be worth much.

Free Atlanta..... Free our Nation

Polls? Yeah, I have seen how accurate polls have been. The main-stream media (encluding Fox for some crazy reason) is shoving McCain down our throats. They are afraid of Romney. Huckabee is no threat to them.

You are wasting your time.

Mike Huckabee does not care about Conservatives nor the Republican party. He is only concerned with Mike Huckabee and LOVEs the attention he is getting by the adoring liberal media.

Better idea. How ‘bout Romney, Huckster, McCain and Paul ALL step down and we can put a REAL Conservative as our nominee?

Who?

Huckabee sounds just like a Democrat.

All three of them sound like Democrats. Romney has to earn my vote. He hasn't. I'm voting for Huckabee as the best of a bad lot because of guns and abortion. McCain is a distant second choice. I am not an evangelical.

The latest national polls show Romney at 22% and Huckabee at 19% (McCain was somewhere in the mid 30s). He can’t win the states in the south where Huckabee has a chance of beating McCain anyway. The fact is McCain is the second choice of most Huckabee supporters. If Huck drops out, McCain will pick up more states. The only chance of preventing McCain from getting an actual majority of delegates is if Romney and Huck pick beat him in states where they are strong.

BTW, if Romney was a better candidate his supporters would have to beg others to drop out.

If Romney wasn’t born a Mormon, this race would have been over months ago.

Don't assume that Romney has a right to conservative votes. I don't trust him on guns or abortion or homosexual agenda issues. PERIOD. Except for Giuliani, I would vote for ANY of the others over Romney. The Paul people would NEVER EVER EVER vote for a guy who would force them to buy medical insurance. Don't blame the others for Romney losing Florida, and Iowa, and New Hampshire, and South Carolina. Blame your candidate. He has not made the case for us to vote for him.

If Huckabee did what you said, I'd vote in Illinois for McCain or Paul. Don't assume Huck, or anyone else dropping out has the effect you expect.

I will vote for Huckabee not because he merely talked about pro-life but he actually helped reduce abortion.

And he was the only one in the race that is for overhauling the tax code wit one rate even if I don’t necessarily agree with his fair tax formulation.
