If you believe the things that your name implies this entire post is beneath you. I could care less how many years it took to marry his wife! Gotta be awfully desperate to try to throw that kind of stuff against the wall!
Your logic is flawed. You went with Huckabee because he could actually win? So...if Hillary is leading in the pre-election polls come November, I can assume you will then support her too?
If Huckabee is a Conservative, I’m Elvis Presley
We must unite behind a candidate that is at least acceptable to all the major factions, and who also has a reasonable chance to run an effective, winning campaign in the general election.
United we stand, divided we fall. Thompson may not be your ideal candidate, but he can unite the GOP coalition better than any other candidate. A united coalition is a strong coalition, whose members will be energized to work towards the election of their consensus candidate, and go to the polls to vote for him on election day.
“Who is John Stemberger?”
Exactly.
Hookerbee is a political prostitute, selling government giveaways for votes, while screwing the taxpayers.
Abandon Fred when he’s on the way up and join Huckabee when he’s on his way down. Nice timing there, Stemberger (whoever the hell you are).
“Most of us are strong Conservatives”.
Too bad Huckabee isn’t.
If you are supporting Governor Huckabee as a “conservative” then I doubt you have any real idea of what a conservative actually is.
“I’m sure that he’ll get along just fine with the new Log Cabin Republican staffer that Huck just added to his campaign.”
Not all homosexuals are trying to redefine marriage, and on a personal level evangelicals generally get along well even with those who are.
"Stemberger, who also heads the state’s anti-gay marriage initiative petition movement, is also the president of the Florida Family Policy Counsel, associated with James Dobson’s Focus on the Family."
Looks like Mr. Stemberger wants to keep his lucrative relationship with Mr. Dobson's "Family". That relationship may not have been as cozy with Stemberger in the Thompson camp and Dobson, et al, in the Huckabee camp...especially after the spanking Thompson gave Huckabee at the SC debate.
Stemberger’s going to feel awfully stupid once Huckabee gets trounced in South Carolina and is in single digits going into the Florida primary.
Be afraid and hide you wallet...
“The GOP is composed of multible factions......”
Outstanding analysis of the problem facing the Party.
NRTL’s endorsement of Thompson was actually very revealing, because Huckabee, who had been courting them, immediately exposed his nasty side when he turned around and starting insulting them as unimportant instead.
“The GOP is composed of multiple factions, each with its own priorities. Unforntunately this election cycle, too many members of the various factions in our coalition are seeking their own faction’s ideal candidate, without regard to the opinions of other factions. The only result of such an attitude will be the destruction of the coalition that is the GOP. We must unite behind a candidate that is at least acceptable to all the major factions, and who also has a reasonable chance to run an effective, winning campaign in the general election. United we stand, divided we fall.”
I agree with everything you said up to that point.
That makes more sense. He is jumping from the one that appeared ahead early to the one ahead now. It is very typical of an ambulance chaser. Also hilarious as the Huckabust has started in South Carolina and appears to be in the first stages nationally.
Then you are doubly deluded, my Michigan friend.
First, Huckabee is easily the most unelectable candidate I have seen given serious consideration by either major party in my 45 years of adult life. If the Republicans are suicidal enough to nominate this guy, he will lose all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the Democrats will bring in a 67 seat majority in the Senate and a 100 seat advantage in the House of Representatives. There will be no conservative judge appointed to the federal bench at any level for the next eight years, at least.
Second, Huckabee is easily the most liberal of all the possible nominees under consideration this year. He is an extreme left wing candidate in a pro-life cloak. If he is nominated conservatives all over the country will stay home on election day. I know I will. There is NO WAY I would ever cast a vote in favor of the death of everything I believe in just because it promises to be slightly slower than the alternative death I am promised by the other Party.
You may be sincere in your position, but I tell you you are sincerely deluded.
According to the socialist imbeciles at the Palm Beach Post he is a "Conservative Heavyweight".
I personally have never heard of him but if he supports Huckabee over Thompson he is probably a fool.
