Thanks for the response. I agree with some of what you said, and even the parts I don’t, I think there’s something to lofting those arguments even if they don’t win me over.
Look, I’m no fan of Huckabee, but saying he even comes close to a man that could do the things McCain has done, is a severely low blow. I don’t agree with that. And so when you try to tie Hunter to doing something similar to what Palin is doing in Arizona, I see it in shades of gray rather than the black and white with McCain vs Hayworth.
I would have held my nose and voted for Huckabee. There wasn’t a chance in hell I’d vote for a man that would team up with the people and support the things John McCain has.
But your shades of gray is my point. Just because some may not think McCain isn't the king of the RINOs doesn't mean they're any less of a conservative. And that's what's being done here. If you don't think McCain is the worst threat to this country, etc., you're pond scum.
I held my nose and voted for McCain because of Sarah Palin. Any other choice as VP (outside of Thompson) and I would have written in a vote.
In 2008, if someone held a gun to my head and told me to vote for Huckabee, I would have said 'shoot me'. No way, no how. EVER.
And as someone who harbors that same level of contempt for McCain, you should understand that- even if you don't agree with it.
