It's Huckabee or Hillary
There has never been another election like this in all of our history – it is for all or nothing … literally.
We will either win everything we have worked for in the last three and a half decades or we will lose it all. Beyond losing the chance to restore protection to unborn children in our lifetime, we face losing every single pro-life law we have passed in the last 34 years. Parental notice, parental consent, the woman's right to know law, waiting periods, fetal homicide, abortion funding restrictions, partial-birth abortion bans – all gone – wiped off the books in every single state with the promised signature of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to the radical "Freedom of Choice Act," or FOCA.

Oh, let me add one more thing for your information and then I’ll leave you good folks for a little while. Here, in Ohio, at EVERY PUBLIC LOCATION, no smoking signs are posted with a number to the State for reporting violations — citizen turning in citizen. We could have had a SENISBLE law, if that was what the people wanted. If that’s the type of state/country you want to live in, and if that’s the way you think we should be treating one another, when all that had to be done was to remove the ashtrays and have the no smoking sign without the snitch line...
Sorry, one more thing I promise. :-) Hubby and I just returned from Vegas a week ago tomorrow. I can’t tell you how nice it was being around happy adults — happy adults because they weren’t being told what they could and could not do. For your pondering. Take care. :-)
Fair enough - I am a little more radical because I won’t vote for Giuliani if he gets the nomination and I will have a hard time deciding what to do if Thompson gets the nomination and Dr. Dobson and other religious conservatives defect. I probably will follow them because if they defect and lose pitifully then the social conservative movement is finished. As a result, I really want to avoid having to make such a choice by nominating a good Republican candidate that I can support. I still hope that candidate will be Duncan Hunter but if the social conservatives do in fact end up unifying around Huckabee I probably will end up supporting him unless he starts campaigning like a nanny statist.
BWHAHAHA! Huckabee PRAISED the Clintons. If he’s nominated libertarian and swing voters are going to vote 3rd party or stay home. Huckabee CANNOT attract the independent vote because of his big gov’t socon views, open borders, and nanny-statism.
Huckabee should be a candidate for Surgeon General..NOT POTUS.
We've lowered our standards when it comes to defining what makes a person qualified to be our President. I don't see Huckabee as a great leader..BBL
sw
Hint - Huckabee is not a conservative.
I like them both, but we must be honest. Who was the last president elected directly from the US House? They may possibly have even held leadership over various committees, but that hardly demonstrates any form of executive leadership that people are looking for in a leader.
Believe me, I’d like to see either of them win, but they just don’t have the wind in their sails.
Didn’t he support amnesty?
BTTT
The Taliban think they have “good moral character” as well. Huckabee believes the state should regulate behavior that only harms the individual.
For me, the issue is freedom and personal responsibility, meaning close the borders, send the illegals home by cutting out welfare payments, removing anchor baby status, reducing taxes and regulations, removing the nanny state, and so on.
Hillary thanks you for not voting GOP. I bet she’ll give you ‘free’ medical care and take your guns away also as a bonus!
I’m so sick of these ‘we can’t get everything we want’ social ‘conservatives’ that threaten to let the democrat win each time.
That’s for sure. Huckabee is below Ron Paul as a likely GOP Nom. IE, .0001%.
Relax, Tolsti. Let’s just see how this plays out. There’s 14 months before the election takes place, adnd 14 months for more Clinton fatigue to set in.
I am a young conservative so I haven’t voted for all that many elections. But I will say that I and my family have always held our noses and voted for the GOP nominee up till now. But if Rudy is the nominee than the Republican party is no longer supporting our interests and we will work to see that it is replaced with a more socially conservative party.
I can’t remember where I heard/read that but if I find the source I’ll try to remember you.
NOT TRUE. She is talking like she could support Romney as of yesterday. Can't recall her ever saying or writing anything at all that I've seen in regard to Huckabee. She speaks well of Hunter and Romney.
Dano1 and dschapin, you’re right that a lot of information being handed out on this thread is skewed. It’s going to be a real tragedy if people vote according to their opinions, rather than the facts.
Both Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich said that Huckabee is the most likely Republican candidate to win IF he can get enough funding to go forward. It would be a tragedy if voters continue being uneducated on this prospective nominee’s TRUE stands, and we lose this election.
Are most people here interested in the TRUTH at all?
According to the most historically accurate polling firm Rasmussen: Mike Huckabee is only 8 points behind Hillary and 9 points behind Obama.
Only one president came directly from the U.S. House – James Garfield – and that was 128 years ago. Only two people went directly from the Senate to the White House: Warren Harding (1920) and John F. Kennedy (1960). Four out of five of the last presidents were governors, and only one governor meets the life/marriage standard: Mike Huckabee.”
Rasmussin, Clinton, and Gingrich all agree: Huckabee can win. It can happen, but voters have to take time to educate themselves and stop swallowing the liberal mainstream media swill.
As Janet Folger said: “For everyone who is clamoring about the importance of money, keep in mind Huckabee came in second in Iowa at five cents on the dollar of what Romney spent to win. Newt Gingrich said on the same ABC program: “If Huckabee can find money, he will be dramatically competitive almost overnight.” NOW QUIT CLAMORING AND WRITE THE GUY A CHECK.”
When 28 million evangelical Christians sat home in 2006, we handed the keys of power in Congress to those who hate us. (Btw, the last I heard - Christians are still allowed to vote and run for office in this country. Afterall, half of those who signed the Declaration of Independence were Christian ministers.)
What’s at stake in this election is whether partial-birth abortion is performed on your 12-year-old daughter without your knowledge or consent. It’s the loss of your freedom to homeschool your kids. It’s the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. It’s your freedom to speak out on issues of importance to you without being persecuted for hate speech. It’s the privilege of continuing to hear conservative talk radio without having the Fairness Doctrine shoved down your throat. The very sovereignty of America hangs on this election, because if a Democrat wins and we get a Democrat majority in both houses, you can welcome international treaties to trump our Constitution. You then lose your parental rights through the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. You lose property rights through other U.N. treaties aiming for America.
Choose Thompson, Guiliani, Romney, or McCain – and you welcome socialist Hillary or Obama into the White House to give you the nightmare above. America will be changed forever for the worse.
Educate yourselves please...FOR THE SAKE OF THIS COUNTRY!
I have. I know more about Hucks record than he does.
