I did. Fred was the first campaign I ever donated money to. But, after seeing him need to actually ask for his own applause at one of his first "rallies" and hoping upon hope - week after week - that he would liven up, I realized that he could not win in the general election. I then decided to go for Mike Huckabee because of those who can actually win in the general election (McKennedy, Abortiani, and Huck), Huck is the most conservative.
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
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.
That might have been a premature judgment. Both on whether or not Thompson would hit his stride, and on Huckabee’s electability. I for one think that when the Dems start slamming Huck for everything the SBC stands for (and I say this as a Southern Baptist) that they will not only demonize him in the eyes of the uninformed electorate, and also cause religious devisivness the likes of which we haven’t seen in a century.
It won’t necessarily be Huckabee’s fault, but it will be ugly.
Huck is the most conservative???
Maybe between him, rooy and mclame.
Must be growin some good stuff out in the Michigan woods.
