Huckabee Supporters to McCain Supporters: Don't tread on me!!

With increasing pressure on the Huckabee campaign, it's apparent the the liberal McCain camp is getting restless. They're beginning to see that Huck really is growing in support.

As the endorsements slowly start to trickle in for McCain from people who wouldn't endorse him when it mattered, the sense of inevitability from his supporters has reached an all time high. One by one, the big names in conservative politics say "yeah..I guess, me too." They have resolved that this old beat-up pickup truck is the best we got, so we might as well try to drive it in the race. What an absolute death knoll for a presidential hopeful.

So McCain-ites, here's my message to you:

Quit urging Huckabee to drop out! If he is 100% dead as you claim, then tell McCain to start his national campaign - why worry about some insignificant washed up nobody? But thats not the case is it? The fact is, Huckabee could very easily rack up another 5-7 states before this is all over. Huckabee isn't McCain's problem, THE PEOPLE THAT KEEP VOTING for Huckabee are McCain's problem! The thing is, you can't make people stop voting for the other guy, you can only ask the other guy to quit.

McCain's supporters are literally shouting from the rooftops that their candidate is incapable of winning the required amount of delegates without Huckabee dropping out.

Look - either Huckabee is irrelevant, or he's a threat. Which is it? You can't have it both ways. If he's irrelevant, then shut up and win the required amount of delegates - case closed - quit whining on my blog comments. If he's a threat, then quit asking him to drop out, thats idotic. "You may beat us, so drop out." Quit trying to intimidate and belittle the voters and supporters of the competition - it only makes us hate your candidate more.

McCain's problem is, every time a new round of states vote, he loses some more to Huckabee. Everyone wants to talk about the Potomac Primaries, but no one wants to mention the few days previous when McCain lost Kansas BIG, and Louisiana.

What no McCain supporter is answering, is WHY McCain keeps losing states. Why does Huckabee continue to win states in an election that is over? Your excuse of "evangelicals voting for Huckabee" as the only reason he keeps winning is wearing thin. Your attempt to act as if the only people who don't want McCain are those darn Christians, is proof of a weak grasp on reality. The facts are, there are huge numbers of conservatives in every state that continue to cast a vote against McCain. You want them to stop. Why do the people of Texas or Mississippi have to swallow their vote because mighty California and New York have spoken?

If McCain is going to win, then what do you care if the remaining states cast their vote and have their voices heard? You claim that McCain can't "focus on the general election" because he has to pay attention to the primaries.... Why? Why does he have to pay attention. Isn't it mathematically impossible for Huckabee to win? Then McCain should just move on. What could happen? He loses Texas and North Carolina and the rest of the Huckabee states? Then what? Are you suggesting that if McCain focuses on the Dems, that he would lose more states? Or are you worried that it would go to a brokered convention? Are you worried that he could lose at the convention?

If you're not worried about Huck catching up in delegates, and you're not worried about losing a brokered convention, then why all the fuss? Why all the "get on board" talk. Who cares about us and who we vote for? Just go win. That's how elections work. Welcome to America.

"But McCain can't 'solidify' the party with Huckabee still in it." Why? Who are all these people that need solidifying? Evangelicals? Conservatives? Why does McCain need there to be no other choice but him to get everyone behind him? So it's Huckabee's fault that all of these people don't like McCain. Here's a newsflash - that fact isn't going to change - with or without Huckabee. McCain is who he is. That won't change. We don't like him. That won't change.

We don't like McCain because of McCain. We don't like the idea that we are backed into a corner and forced to vote for him. Yes, we will cast our vote for him if he wins the nomination, but stop telling us to "get with the program" and back your guy. This is America. And in America, we have choices. Let us cast our vote for the guy we believe in. If our votes don't tally up to enough support for our candidate of choice, then so be it. But until then, we would like to exercise our freedom. We will back our candidate until someone wins. Get that through your head. Please read it and reread it.

If McCain was cut from real Presidential cloth, he would gladly acknowledge that we Americans SHOULD cast our vote till the end. Instead he constantly wants to send out memos about how everyone else should quit because he's winning. The fact is, he's just not presidential. He has no respect for us Huckabee supporters, and neither does his campaign or his backers. A real leader welcomes strong competition and considers it healthy. A weak manager wants to squash anyone who dares to compete, afraid they will expose their weaknesses.

We WILL cast our vote! We WILL be heard! We will hold out till the last vote is counted at the convention in hopes that our candidate will come out victorious! If you don't like it, then move to somewhere where Communism flourishes - I think you'd be happier there - In fact, I'll drive you to the airport.
