Mike Huckabee seems like a very good man, but his politics are muddled, he often settles for half-a-loaf, and his positions are often not clear to me.

Agreed. Huckabee is a generally likable guy. That said, he tends to give in to Liberal ideas and schemes at crucial times — and to Government solutions — and that’s exactly what we DON’T need.
I’m quite happy he endorsed the primary candidate against the “party man,” because it seems the party man wants the same old Republican option of paying lip service to social issues to get the Conservative base — then governing “from the center.”
Well, no, enough. No more betrayals, Mr. big shot Republicans. No more “compromises” or “bipartisanship.” NO more taking Conservative votes — your base — for granted. Republicans can choose a candidate their Conservative base likes — or they can lose. Or find a new base — they know they can’t out Democrat the Democrats, but if they TRY, they deserve what they get.
Those who would object that we have to have the Republicans in the federal elections would do well to consiuder that the country survived without Republicans for over 70 years — and from the time they were created for decades they were mostly radical troublemakers. Patriots can take the party — but if they can’t they can stand on their own. In any case, it’s not the party but the PRINCIPLES that must be paramount. Period.
