I am voting today in FL and I am stuck. My number 1 choice, by leaps an miles, was Duncan Hunter. Now that dream has been shattered by all the other morons in the country who didn't want a legit conservative to represent the pseudo-conservative Republican party.
Now, I'm stuck btw Romney and Huckabee. I'm going to vote in a few hours and still don't know. There is no one left that I like. I am once again forced to hold my nose and push my touchscreen button. There are aspects of both that I like and both have a history of action that I can't stand.
One big thing that resonates with me is the fact that Duncan supports Huckabee. I respect Duncan, but I don't know if I can trust the campaign promises of either of these 2 guys. I feel like Romney has a better shot of getting the nomination and both guys would smack around the Dems in a debate. I just don't want McCain/Guliani...
Grab your barf bag and take one of out of McCain’s column by voting for Romney. Remember, it is just the primary, and today it is down to McCain vs. Romney in FL.
Huck is a (edited for good taste). If he gets the republican nomination I will not be voting. Vote for Romney. He has the only chance to beat McCain, another (*****). Our only prayer of getting a somewhat conservative Supreme Court judge is with Romney.
Good catch. It’ll be a long day...
Only vote for Huckabee if you want John McCain.
Thats what I’m leaning towards.
You think I’m kidding ;-)
Go for the surf and turf with a shrimp cocktail...
Vote for someone to throw the party into a brokered convention. so whoever is not leading. At this point Romney has the most delegates, so - anyone but him. Not that any of the other three are someone I would vote for in the general, but to create a condition of no clear majority going into the convention.
Then we could walk out with J.C. Watts, or someone like him
I wish my party would start pushing someone that deserves to be there.
Here are the Senators who voted against the Cornyn amendment , which would have established a permanent bar for gang members, terrorists, and other criminals looking to snag a shamnesty visa. Republicans underlined:
Never forget McCain not only pushed the amnesty bill, he refused to allow exclusions for the worst of the lot. And he unloaded his infamous temper on his mild-mannered senate colleague for having the audacity to introduce this amendment.
Apologies to any who feel I am spamming this message on campaign threads, but it is an important message on a key vote which needs to get out.
That’s what I did because McCain is unacceptable, and it’s going to be a close finish.
I was a Hunter hoper, then a Thompson hoper. I chose to vote Huckabee today. McCain is not a good choice for a Hunter supporter because of amnesty. Romney is not a good choice for a conservative ( see this thread for a good summary http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1961207/posts ). So I chose Huckabee. I think Guilianni will drop after losing Florida. So Hucks left and Hunter did endorse him. I have come to the same conclusion as Hunter. Hucks the best remaining candidate.
30.7-McCain 30.1-Romney 14.7-Frickin Guliani(snl ref.) 12.9-Huck 3.6-Paul
Although I like Duncans chances if brokered, I don't think its gonna happen. A vote for Huck at this point, I feel, pushes McCain forward. I dont want that, I dont really want anyone that is left.
No way Hunter endorsed Huckabee without being convinced Huckabee was real on border security. Huckabees plan on his website is clear and unambiguous. Build the fence. Stop illegals.
I’ll betcha a dime Huckabee’s voters are more committed than Guilianni’s and Huckabee comes in third.
see this before voting Romney http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1961207/posts
Remember, Tom Tancredo endorsed Mitt Romney.
Duncan Hunter endorsed Huckabee for a few obvious reasons.
I called it weeks in advance, when all the Hunterites considered the mere suggestion utter blasphemy.
Hunter endorsed Huckabee for 3 reasons:
Evangelism
Abortion
“Fair Tax”
Hunter shouldn’t have endorsed anyone. I’m disappointed in myself for ever supporting him.
