Something seems fishy to me.


Most people have the ability to be more than a single issue voter... I have no idea how it came to be that McCain was able to become the most viable out of all the bunch that started but he did. I never had much use for McCain from the start as I go back to the 2000 campaign where we fought him tooth and toenail and thank God for SC they shut him down.

For some reason[s] the public just couldn’t get behind anyone of the other candidates. Some made splashes of grandeur when they came on the scene but their light dimmed rather quickly. Others never got out of the blocks to make a splash. Huckabee is a regional candidate that is finished.

We now or will have McCain as the candidate like it or not. Our chore now is to hold his feet to the fire as much as possible to to extract as many conservative committments as we can from him. In addition we need to spend a vast amount of energy of getting good Representatives/Senators elected to act as buffers and road blocks to his off the wall ideas.

My objective now is to defeat the Hillar/Obama candidacy. And it won’t be done by voting for either of them as some of the so called conservatives on this site are saying they may or will do. I have to much self respect to do that.

“Most people have the ability to be more than a single issue voter... “

But single issue voters are supporting McCain, because McCain supported the surge, which is working.

However, McCain’s amnesty mindset will hurt us in fighting the WOT, because known terrorists have crossed our borders, and who knows how many terrorists cells there are already in our our country.

Border security = national security.

Huckabee has a chance. He just won Kansas by a remarkably huge margin over McCain.
