Who on my list is a RINO, can you name one?
Exactly!
Mitt and Huck have not practiced consistent Conservative principles, and their slights aren’t modest ones. They are HUGE ones. Mitt instituted basically a tax on you for breathing with his “mandatory health care” nonsense, and lets not even get into the fact we are dealing with gay “marriage” in this nation because of his complete ineptitude in handling that issue in MA. Huck is so out there he things law breakers should be allowed to be citizens with a stroke of a pen.
No candidate is perfect, but these two try to sell themselves as ideological conservatives when they clearly aren’t. I don’t expect perfection, but I do expect consistency of principle, sometimes you lose the battle, but you don’t back down from your stand even when you lose if its based on a principle you believe. Mitt and Romney are laughable when they try to sell themselves and the heir to Reagan.
Sarah ain’t perfect either, but I see far more deeds to match her words than either of those two.
I just want someone who is honest about where they stand, why they stand that way, and I can have faith will back those stands up with actions that are consistent to their claimed beliefs. I won’t agree with them all the time, but at least I know where they stand, and that’s more important to me than anything else. I don’t want another Fauxbama with a different letter beside his name who will say anything to win an election and will do whatever they want afterwards.
Huckabee has effectively used the media to promote himself. Huckabee’s mug is plastered on all over on FNC. First there is his Weekend show, then he makes several pundit appearances on Greta, Hannity, O’Reilly, and Fox & Friends. Plus ABC affiliate radio stations run the Huckabee report, a weekly radio commentary that Huckabee gives on the issue of the week. In Chicago, the Huckabee report is broadcasted run after Rush’s show. Thus giving him a big audience to speak to. This is a big reason why Huckabee is leading the 2012 primary. Sarah needs to do something similiar.
**Romney is a republican, but he is NOT the heir to Reagan conservatism that he wants ...**
After inflicting a version of Obamacare on Mass.. that THEY call ROMNEYCARE... Reagan is the LAST COmparison he should be making... DUKAKIS, maybe.
I would think so...
Exactly, and that’s why he got booted last primary, he spent millions of his own money because no one else would give him any trying to sell himself as the heir to Reagan, and it was laughable on its face.
He effectively signed a bill that taxed people for breathing, then touted it as a great thing!!
You can’t claim to be a serious principled conservative with FauxbamaCare part in your “accomplishments” column.
I will be happy if Palin ends up being our nominee, because it will mean she solved her problems and will have found a way to attract majority support.
I wouldn’t appoint her our nominee if I had the power right now, because without some major work, she doesn’t look electable at this time. I could be wrong about that, but fortunately the election process gives us ample opportunity to see, at the ballot box, whether Palin is or is not electable.
No, not that message (that message is true, but irrelevant, as we all sin). I’m talking about the message of the THREAD, which is the poll numbers for Palin.
As a Palin supporter this doesn’t worry me a whole lot. All she has to do is run and run on principle and they people will come around to her. Debates, rallies, fundraising, those are the things that matter. I trust Ras but it’s just too early. I didn’t even know Huckabees name until 2007 or maybe even 2008, shows you how stuff can change. We are 3 years away. One huge silver lining here: let the left (and others) think she is toast so that they won’t be as motivated to destroy her. Then she can take them by surprise in 2012.
Go Sarah!!!!!
A Huckester supporter started this thread along with others like it.
He has the same rants sounding like one of the
Fred Phelps radical Culture Nazis on other threads.
This person can’t stand women who besides being wives, mothers, are also successful in their career.
This person believes women should be June Clevers,
seen and not heard.
How will the poll look AFTER the book comes out?
I bet the numbers flip
**He has the same rants sounding like one of the
Fred Phelps radical Culture Nazis on other threads.**
And has be properly ZOTTED.
One of his fat ass sons was tossed out of the boy scouts for killing a dog.
To be added to or removed from the VK list, FReepmail me with "Add VK" or "Remove VK" in the subject line.
That idiot pushed his luck a bit too far.
His gratuitous trashing of Sarah Palin was obvious.
He can go back to his Fred Phelps and continue his
culture Nazi routine
These polls mean nothing this far away. Huckster is liberal on everything other than abortion. He’s basically a pro-life Democrat who calls himself a Republican. He will never be the nominee.
Troll.
Shor Yu Ken!
Not surprising since the media would pump up either of these two RINO’s right up to the point where they got the nomination. Then they would start playing the videos of Romney promising to protect Roe v. Wade, and advance the homosexual agenda. Then they would start running the stories about Huckabee calling illegals “God’s Children” and investigating Huckabee blocking a police investigation of his dog torturing idiot of a son.
We let the left pick our last candidate and now we have to sit back and watch a band of marxist / Maoist radicals shred the Constitution.
I have an idea, we might lose anyway, since the media will ultimately demonize any GOP nominee. But let’s pick a candidate that will energize the base so we have a chance and if we’re going to go down, let’s go down swinging.
Rudy gave up early. If he had run a good campaign, I think he could have beat obongo.
