Um, yes, I’m aware of our little feature known as the Electoral College. So I will rephrase for your benefit: I will support the Republican nominee as long as they are Fred or Duncan Hunter. If a liberal hijacks our nomination, I will not. I will not aid and abet the liberal cause by spreading the cancer within our party. If I am prevented from the ability to write in Fred’s name, I will either vote for a suitable Conservative 3rd party alternative or will leave that office blank. I vote by absentee in any event, so I always have to write in a ballot by hand.

I hadn’t thought about that. Maybe that’s a good question — how many of the “3rd-party” people are in states where their vote would actually matter?

I’m in Virginia, and I’m assuming votes will be important here. But half the states are probably already foregone conclusions.

I agree with what you say. Which is why Giuliani MUST NOT BE NOMINATED.

Do not want Giuliani as nominee; but IF he is; absolutely, I will vote for him for President. You may have read what I said. . .but you cannot 'get it' and still imagine there is a luxury of voting choice here. . .or imagine that Rudy and Hillary are interchangeable parts.

Shouldn’t you be more concerned about the future of your country?

I’ll vote for whoever the Republican nominee is, because I don’t want the Clinton Criminal Machine anywhere NEAR the White House ever again.

That’s close to my thoughts. I’ve put Romney first, but only because of his superior organization and campaigning which make him look more likely to be able to be Rudy. I’d be happy to support Fred, even though it would mean suffering the glee of some pretty pathetic posters around here for a while.

Mccain would be my third, but I’d put Huckabee in front of Rudy. Hoping I don’t have to drop down past my 2nd choice though. I give McCain the nod because he might well leave after 4 years, and if he picks a good VP we might come out ahead.

I am, that's why I will never vote for another Rino that will turn around one day and call me a bigot are worse.

A little off-topic, but if you want to have fun with the O&O show, write letters to the editor and suggest that of the two, Oprah is the more qualified candidate, and ask why Obama thinks a woman can’t be President.

Sorry for that typo. But I am sure you are intelligent enough to figure out who I meant! Actually I am cock sure LOL.

I wish there was a edit function to correct typo’s.

And what has Huckabee said on immigration in the past?

"I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families."

-Mike Huckabee [spoken along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson, at a noon luncheon of the League of United Latin American Citizens]

Gov. Mike Huckabee on Thursday heaped criticism upon immigration legislation in the Arkansas Legislature, describing it as inflammatory . . . race-baiting and demagoguery. He also challenged the Christian values of its main sponsor.

Huckabee said the bill, seeking to forbid public assistance and voting rights to undocumented immigrants, inflames those who are racist and bigots and makes them think there's a real problem. But theres not.

Thanks for posting that. I agree with him 100%.

NOW I'm really going to vote for him if he's the nominee. ;^)

I know, I’m just having fun with you. I agree, I wish there was an edit function. Most newsgroups have that ability to reedit your post after being sent, I don’t know why we don’t have that here... :-/

You’d be a lousy soldier, wouldn’t you.....lose a battle, and then shoot yourself cause you’re mad.

Now that just about perfectly describes the "I'm gonna vote third party if my nominee doesn't win" attitude that quite a few seem to have around here.

Since Presidential candidate Tom Tancredo is not included in your "acceptable" list, please feel free to let us know what makes him one of the evil "liberal RINO socialist" in your mind.

I'm all ears.

Good answer.

I will never skip a general election or waste my vote in order to ‘send a message’. My preference of republican candidates in descending order would be:
1) Duncan Huntere (i’ve already given up on him as not viable)
2) Fred Thompson (hoping his campaign will show some signs of life)
3) Mitt Romney (some management skills, currently professes correct positions on most issues, doubts about his wafflyness)
4) McCain (many of his stands have irrated me, but he has been firm on the WOT, Life, and fiscal restraint, also a genuine hero despite his irratating temper)
5) Guiliani (way too much personal baggage and not a conservative, but better than hillary)
6) Huckabee (some wacky positions have emerged, and he would be smeered by the press as a wacky televangilist)
7) Tancredo (I like him but he has no chance at all, he’s sacrificed his political viability to be a hero on one issue)

I would vote for any of these before considering a vote for Clinton, Obama or Edwards.

The only candidate in the republican field who would make me consider Clinton or Edwards is Ron Paul, and no candidate would make me consider Obama.
