How did Huckabee win? That is the question now. He is the re-incarnation of Bush and Clinton. He is the Bush of no morals who will do anything for power. He is petty and just plain wrong on many issues. Have you heard how, as governor of Arkansas (second after Clinton), the Huckster renewed his wedding vows and registered at Target??? As governor? And then when he was asked about it, he blamed his wife, indicating his belief that women are subservient and he isn't an equal partner in marriage. As he said, "Do you want someone who could do that to be your president?"
As governor of Arkansas, he held up a disaster relief bill because it contained the legal term "Act of God." People waited for relief because he couldn't let God be branded with so evil an act. IT'S A LEGAL TERM!!!!!
He seems like the same imbecile we've had for the last 7 years. Does nobody see that Huckabee can't get his foreign policy straight? What kind of stumbling was that about Pakistan? Huckabee has a terrible record on immigration, yet those in Iowa who said immigration was important went to Huckabee. [1]
Ask a Huckabee supporter why, and they tell you (probably) that, "Huck is strong on immigration," and,"He will reform taxes." They haven't looked at the projections for FairTax, Huckleberry's tax reform program, and they have definitely not looked at his record as governor (see my previous post). After explaining this, you ask again, and you get the, "A vote for Huckabee is a vote for Jesus. I'm voting for Jesus!!!" (that is a quote I heard from a relative). What?!?!?!? Isn't that the only reason to like Bush? Some say they like him for his "neighborly demeanor." Why did you vote for Bush? Wasn't it the same thing? I just might have to call Iowans stupid. Huckabee is a horrible choice.
This is what is wrong with the Republican Party. Vote for a candidate on merit, not on his faith. Giuliani has coherent supporters. Romney has coherent supporters. McCain has coherent supporters. Huckabee, however, needs coherent supporters instead of the (mostly) Kool-Aid drinkers he has now. They don't care what he stands for, as long as he hates gays, plays guitar, and thanks Jesus. Look at the quotes from his supporters' prayer. Can you still tell me his campaign doesn't rely on bigots? I'm not saying that all his supporters are bigots, but those who aren't are most likely misinformed.

I could not agree more.
Today is the day I leave the Republican Party. I am no longer a Republican - I am repulsed by them and I am disappointed in them. What happened to fiscal conservatism? Where did the massive support for domestic security for our borders go? Where did the rational, critical thinking and strength of Reagan go?
The Neocons (the Giuliani type - "9/11! 9/11! 9/11!"), the Religious Right (the Hickabee type "Gays need to be quarantined!"), and the passive "Let's-All-Get-Along" type (McCain and his immigration bill partnership with Kennedy) have become too influential in the GOP. Now, all that matters is does the candidate seem like a nice guy and is he best friends with Jesus.
The only possible candidates I'd ever see myself supporting would be Romney or Thompson. Considering Thompson hasn't a chance, Romney is the only viable candidate left.
Today, I am ashamed of modern Christians in the political sphere. In a Hickabee voice: "He's a Mormon - he's gotta be in cahoots with the Devil! I'm votin' for Jesus!"
Idiots.
The Religious Right needs to realize Hickabee will NOT win in a general election versus any of the three potential Democratic nominees. If Hitlary Sodom becomes the Democratic nominee, she would annihilate Hickabee. Romney certainly has the high ground on morality, ethics, and religiosity when compared to Senaturd Hellhairy.
Get it through your head evangelicals: a vote for Hickabee is a vote WASTED!
