Why I am voting CONSERVATIVE no matter what

Just because someone was a hero like
McCain, doesn't mean they can turn liberal/socialist
and still deserve our support to become president.
Huckabee is the last conservative left running, and will
serve the long-term best interests of America. Even
if he stays in and loses with dignity he does good by
getting his voice heard on our behalf- just like
Hunter and Tancredo got us fired up about security. I refuse to listen to "toe the party line" and "do what's best for the party" anymore because it's a bunch of crap. What is best for the Republican party, and the nation, would be to stand firm for our conservative ideals- not compromise them by reaching out to the liberal extremists by acting like a liberal.

Huckabee's got my vote because he's the most conservative in
the running, and I won't surrender my principals for
the lesser of two evils, just because some big-media
pundits and their sheep followers want me to. It is my right and no RINO is going to tell me otherwise, even if they are in the majority. My mom always said stand up for what you know is right, no matter what- and that's the sort of thing America seems to have lost the ability to do. Why must it always be about compromise when what is right and what is wrong are clear as night and day.

I won't vote for someone who would enact
the same things as Obama or Clinton, but sneak it past
America because lots of sheep think he's a Republican. It goes way beyond the religious factor for me. Is Huckabee perfect? No, but he is the most firm on the most important issues, and that is what is important to me.

It is an insult and a disgrace to
American freedom to discourage us to vote our
conscience for someone who stands up for the real
important issues and has real plans for what's best for America- not just sound bites and compromises that make socialists happy while we go down their slippery slope!

My Candidate Update

As you know, if you know me or have been reading this, I've had to re-align my favorites for the 2008 election... a few times. As dirt surfaces, and as people say dumb things, I've had to keep re-analysing who will be the absolute best for the long-term best interests of America.

Right when finally I think my initial assessment of Tancredo being the best is solidified, he tries to bet his campaign on a baseball game. There's too much at stake for that. Maybe he just wanted some extra publicity, and to try to capture the hearts and minds of the Americans who don't have a clue (ie: the ones who care more about "reality TV" and celebrities doing dumb things than anything else). That took him down a notch in my book. He's still in the top three for me...

Hunter. He started as my number 3. He moved up to number 2 when I learned about Thompson's CFR ties. Thompson was dropped from the list. We can not afford to elect anyone with CFR ties. Hunter took the time to visit and speak at the Gathering of Eagles event. He made it clear we were at war with an ideology, and we could not afford to back down. He was a good speaker, and you could tell the issues were important to him, not just important to getting elected.

Thompson dropping from my list moved Huckabee up to number 3. Huckabee echoes the platforms of Tancredo and Hunter, so closely that I thought since he's the most popular of the underdogs he might be the best after all. Then some dirt surfaced. He's not my top pick for the absolute best, but he keeps saying the right things, and he's still in my top 3, if only because nobody else seems to be available...

Huckabee recently got an endorsement from Chuck Norris, on WorldNetDaily, and is still popular there.

So is another 9/11 possible?
Huckabee responds,
"There's almost an inevitability, not just a possibility. It will happen again. And it'll happen because we face an enemy that is not a nation-state that can be contained within borders and boundaries, because their war is not about borders and boundaries. Islamofascism is rooted in a theocratic Islamic jihadism that seeks to destroy and annihilate every last one of us. It wants to establish a complete Islamic theocracy across the world, and for that to happen it means our culture has to be completely snuffed out. There's no peaceful co-existence, there's no accommodation, there's no naïve nonsense that if we leave them alone they leave us alone. This is a war someone will win and someone will lose. Whoever perseveres and whoever has the strongest will, will in fact win, and that's why we can't give up."

He seems to have a good grasp of the situation, and his recent rise to front-runner status is encouraging, but I'm likely going to be keeping my fingers crossed for Hunter all the way. Huckabee might not be the cleanest, but he's not stupid either- and bottom line is, he's still better than the other front-runners... I hope that if he does manage to get in office, he'll choose Hunter (or even Tancredo) as a solid VP.

Dirt on Huckabee (DARN He was too good to be true)

My friends of the VA Militia sent me the following from hot air and now I feel the need to rain on everyone else's parade:

The Case Against Huckabee

--------------------
Well, crap. Another one bites the dust. Thank you
for sharing. I'm back to Tancredo and Hunter. I
watched Hunter speak at the GOE on 15 Sept. He had
remarkable charisma, and came across as having a
passion for trying to do the right thing. As a vet,
he's got more cred, and his son's in the service too if I recall correctly.

I think subconsciously I knew Huckabee was "too good
to be true" and that's why I wasn't giving him any
time until Chuck Norris (Please don't roundhouse kick
me) weighed in...

I gotta say, even with all that
dirt, he still comes out looking cleaner than most of
the others- but that's besides the point- I'm not
going to compromise my integrity and vote for anyone
who betrayed the trust placed in him. America doesn't
need that.
Again, I'm back where I started, 2 underdogs: Tancredo and Hunter.

3 if you count Colbert, who, since he's cleaner than Huckabee, moves up on my list if he can overcome the little matter of the FEC breathing down his neck. I mean, come on, it's Doritos promoting him... It's not like he's got Chinese dishwashers sending him millions... and he's not CFR. LOL. Yes, America, we are screwed, but I can't help but imagine Ben Franklin might like Colbert if he were alive today...

EDIT, dirt on Huckabee found: http://sheepdogsblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/dirt-on-huckabee-darn-he-was-too-good.html

He's still cleaner than most front-runners, but I'm just going to have to stick to my guns on Tancredo and Hunter until the final showdown. Sorry Chuck, please don't roundhouse kick me.

-------------------------------------


He makes a very convincing (and logical) argument... of course, he's Chuck Norris! Read the article and make up your own mind. Thoughts?


Previously, I had shared that Huckabee was not strict on immigration, but that was according to some lifted quotes from Coulter. Not saying they weren't credible, but after investigating Huckabee's site, I have to say I'm convinced he's taken a firm stance on securing the border and prosecuting and deporting illegals within our country- and keeping new ones from sneaking in.

His Issue Page- shows where he stands on the war on terror, ditching the IRS, being pro-life, and many other things that should appeal to the modern conservative.

I have my hopes for Tancredo or Hunter, but I'll add Huckabee to my list of acceptable candidates. Who knows, whoever gets it might appoint the others to key positions... that would be great!

However, there come a point when a decision needs made, and we can't have Hillary or Obama, or any of the other leftists... I don't want a RINO getting in either and leading us astray.

I feel that I wouldn't be compromising my integrity to vote for Huckabee. He, like Tancredo and Hunter, is not a CFR member. If enough of the conservatives are willing to back him over Thompson (as people seem more willing to do the more they learn about Thompson), he's probably got the best chance of securing the nomination and being the next president- and no I'm not just saying that because I've been working out on a Total Gym lately.
