I like him, too. With Sue Myrick retiring, he’ll be the only really solid conservative left in the NC delegation.
Correction: We’ll still have Virginia Foxx, too. Almost forgot about her.
I would recommend freepers look for Patrick McHenry on C-SPAN. I love watching him expose libs and their deals-like Nancy Pelosi’s Starkist exclusion on minimum wage and the liberals’ hypocrisy on social issues.
The conservatives send him out to speak on the really tough issues because they know he can articulate the conservative positions with conviction.
I think I’ve figured out what I’m going to do.
In the Texas primary, I CANNOT vote for “McLiberal” or “Nanny Stater Huckabee”. Instead, I will write in “Duncan Hunter” (my first choice).
If I happen to receive a call from a poll asking who I support for President - I’m going to say “Hillary”. Shove it to the lamestream liberal media; let them mess up as only they can.
If I get a call from the Republican Party asking for a contribution - they can pound sand until they can back a real Conservative; let them sweat a bit.
I’ll still contribute to those real Conservatives on the local level.
However, for the general election, unless there is a major miracle (which I doubt), I’m going to have to, hold my nose, and vote for the Republican nominee - even if it is McCain or Huckabee.
I’ll do this because: 1) No third party candidate is ever going to get it; 2) a “write in” would only be a vote for the “dims”; and 3) If the “dims” do get in, it means at least two more years before we can get more Conservatives in Congress, four years of a “dim” president, and 20 years of liberal federal judicial decisions.
In the meantime - we Conservatives have to really push for more Conservatives candidates and stronger Conservative principles.
