Without Thompson, I could see Huck doing a lot better on Super Tuesday. Maybe he needs to call Thompson and offer a deal. You get out now, endorse me and I will choose you as vice president.


I'm for THAT! I think that would be a GREAT ticket! I didn't say Huck was gone, I said the PUNIDIOTS said they didn't think he could win anywhere else, and so he was effectively gone. He will not quit until after Super Tuesday, and only then if he is WAAAAY back.

You guys could all help by going to www.mikehuckabee.com and donating! :wink:

Romney

Postby scooter » January 20th, 2008, 6:07 pm

McCain is too much like a democrat. His Mccain Finegold deal was too much for any true American advocate of free speech. Guliani is too. He is a big advocate of gun control. Blah.

I would rather have Romney.. He is a financial genuis. He would be the best thing financially for America.

I am interested in the tag team of running mates.

I'd like to see Fred, Romney or Huckabee team up. Perferable the first two.
What we need here is a good revival! lol

Would the evangelicals and more specifically the Southern Baptists allow Huckabee to team up with Mitt?

McCain could win independents that would take votes from Clinton.

Besides McCain/Feingold what makes John a liberal? Maybe I am missing something. Of course there is his history on immigration but fiscally he is conservative which is more than we can say about Bush, Huckabee, and so many in Congress today. He's on our side with abortion, defense, judges, etc.What am I missing besides the point that he bucked Bush several times which I found very healthy and he called for the surge what Bush and Rumsfeld were playing war from the white House and Pentagon.

By the way, I missed your call but sent you a PM @ UTR Kevin.

I'll vote for Romney in Alabama's primary.

McCain, IMO equals Clinton. I wouldn't want to give their grubby fingers the tax money they'd get from the gas I'd have to buy to go vote for either one of 'em. So, if McCain's the GOP nominee, then the era of Reagan is dead in spite of Rush Limbaugh's protests to the contrary, and conservatism as a viable political movement is also dead. And, that might not be a bad thing since conservatism after Reagan has pretty much been pro-big government.

Giuliani's ride is over.

McCain is too old.


age discrimination!

If you were hiring someone for a business this comment would be illegal. I thought of this quite a bit and believe the same applies considering that voting for someone is also giving your say to hire them for president.

He says he's on our side when it comes to conservative judges, but what did he do in the Senate? When we had the chance to put conservative judges on the bench a few years ago, in rides McCain on his white horse along with the so called "gang of 14" and allowed the Democrats to continue blocking Bushes conservative judicial appointments.

He authored the McCain Feingold campaing finance law that unconstitutionally limits political speech.

He opposed a ban on gay marriage.

He claims to be prolife now, but in the past he was against overturning Roe v Wade. He flipflopped when he started running for president

And immigration, don't even get me started on that.

Tom Delay says that McCain has done more to harm the Republican party than any other person in Congress.

My point as well. Now I would rather someone say I used to feel this way but now I changed then to try to act as if they never felt that way.

Mormons are generally good solid citizens and moral people. They're dead wrong in their theology, but they are good folks. The Mormon issue won't be a factor with me.
