McCain and the Republican establishment are betting that when push comes to shove, conservatives will vote for McCain because "he is better than the Democrats." Well, I am not so sure that McCain is better than the Democrats. Sure, McCain isn't as liberal as Obama or Hillary, but he is still a liberal who will destroy the Republican party if elected President. I don't really care about the Republican party, but I do care about my conservative principles. If we allow the Republican party to move even further in the liberal direction, the GOP will no longer be useful for implementing conservative principles. I have lost all respect for Hannity and Limbaugh for what they have wrongfully said about Mike Huckabee, but they are entirely correct about John McCain.
I will not give up hope for Mike in 08 until McCain gets 1191 delegates, and I really don't think that will happen unless McCain wins at a brokered convention. I agree with what "nyseman" said earlier: McCain doesn't stand a chance of beating the Democrats in 08. McCain would lose just as Gerald Ford did in 76. 4 years of Jimmy Carter as President was a really bad thing, but it led to Americans getting sick of liberalism and overwhelmingly electing Ronald Reagan in 80. If John McCain gets the Republican nomination in 08, I hope Obama or Hillary wins the Presidency, and they will. After 4 years of Obama or Hillary, trust me, America will be ready to put a conservative in the White House in 2012. Not wanting to lose again, Republicans will be ready to nominate a real conservative, Mike Huckabee, in 2012.
For those who are thinking of voting for McCain if Mike doesn't win, ask yourself this question: Would Ronald Reagan have ever become President if Ford had beaten Carter in 76? Then ask yourself this question: Is it better to get a liberal Republican for 4 years to keep the Democrats out of the White House and end up with no viable party for conservatives to turn to?
I respect the decision of those who say they would vote for McCain if he is the GOP nominee in order to keep Obama or Hillary out of the White House. An Obama or Hillary presidency is indeed a scary thing. However, I am convinced that it would be better for our country to suffer through 4 years of another Democratic presidency in order to get a real conservative in the White House. You think Ronald Reagan was a good President? Just wait until Mike Huckabee wins the White House!!!

Well I disagree with this
THe next President will pick 3 Supreme Court Justices possibily. If Obama gets it then expect ROE Wade not to be overturned for over 40 years. We have fought hard to restrict abortion and we are at the cusp of victory. LEt me also remind you Justice Scalia is not getting younger. THis is just one problem.
I find the FOrd/Carter race not very peruasive. Yes Ford lost but rememeber it so so so close. Ford came of a whisker of winning it.
Lots of damage was done during the carter years and I think we don't have the luxurgy to play these games.
Finally there is a problem. Mike Huckabee if he does not get the nomination will be totally opposed to this plan of action. Huck if he does not get the nod will no dounbt campaign all out for McCain because he knows what is at stake.
One final thought. VOters now and in the future do not like people who threaten to take their toys home if they don't win. In effect that is what we shall be doing. We can't expect to win voters over to Mike now or in the future if we threaten to bolt because we could not win in a free lection.
That being sadi go Mike!!!!
