This has been covered more times than I care to remember, but Blue States will mean nothing in November! Zero! Zilch! Nada! In my opinion, if your state votes blue in the previous election, you should sit out the next set of Primaries until you can smack some sense into your state! The war to beat the Democrats will rest squarely on the shoulders of the Red States and a couple key swing states.
“But, there are Republicans in those Blue States that count too.” Yes, I realize there are Republicans in the Blue States, but it’s the independents and moderates that keep voting McCain to victory in these states! Everyone knows McCain is not carrying the conservative base. I can guarentee you one thing, there were very few moderates or independents that voted for Huckabee (because he’s a CONSERVATIVE – remember, thats what the party used to stand for.)
The states and the voters that Huckabee carries are 100% pure conservatives. They are social conservatives, they want the second amendment upheld, they want the fence built, they want someone who signed the no new tax pledge, someone who doesn’t want human embryos to be destroyed for science, someone who believes it’s one man one woman in marriage, someone who understands whats at stake in Iraq, and will appoint the right judges to the Supreme Court.
The people who voted against Huckabee clearly don’t care about these things (or refuse to vote their conscience and just vote for some non-existent electability factor.) Is it just me or does there seem to be a dwindling number of truly conservative folks outside of the south/heartland anymore? Where have they gone? Who has replaced them? What are the consequences of allowing this new evolution of “Republican” voters to choose our nominee? Don’t get me wrong, I have seen many true conservatives hunkered down in a blue state fighting the good fight (and you are greatly appreciated for it), but unfortunately, that number is sadly small.
I know I’ll get a million comments from the people who voted for McCain, insulted that I insinuated that they weren’t true conservatives… but you voted for MCCAIN!.. so you should take your “I’m a Reagan Conservative” windbreaker and run it through the wood chipper. I don’t want to hear your excuses of why you did it. I don’t care. And I don’t care about your list of “conservative violations” that you wrongly accuse Huckabee of – that doesn’t change who McCain is and has proven himself to be time and time again.
We are slowly coming upon sad days for the Republican Party. A day when at worst we give the reigns of the country over to the dark side democrats to burden us with a cornucopia of new taxes and appoint liberal activist judges to the bench – or at best have moderate McCain ready and willing to once again turn his back to all the things we hold dear. Thats what we call a lose/lose scenario.
But there is one shining beacon of light atop the hill! One man who stands on principle – who knows what he believes and why he believes it. A man who’s wisdom is founded upon something greater than his own understanding. A man that will make decisions as the Leader of the Free World, and we can rest assured those decisions will only be made after much prayer, after much council of those around him, and based on principles that can’t be shaken such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. One man who will not simply stand on the sidelines and promise not to rock the boat on these issues, but will aggressively attack the things that must be changed. That man is Mike Huckabee.
The War Continues!
Now that Huckabee is finally clear of the “Potomac Primaries/Blue W’s (Wisc n Wash), he can get back to a friendlier environment. His days of trudging through the snow trying one last attempt to snatch some victory from the face of Blue Defeat are over. (In my opinion, trying to win these Blue State Primaries is like trying to put a dress on a pig – it frustrates you and angers the pig. Just let the pig wallow in the mud while you head for somewhere Red. I know, I know, Huck needed a decent showing in WI, I just wanted to use the pig reference.) It’s time for Huckabee to sprint to the end.
He will test his mettle in Texas, Ohio, N Carolina, Kentucky and more down the stretch. There has never been any doubt that McCain would have a dangerously close number of delegates to secure the nomination with every primary. Contrary to popular belief, we Huck Supporters can count, and know what the scoreboard says. Our job is to continue to fight and force this thing into overtime at the convention. We know what we’re up against and we know it’s a war. We are looking for nothing more than a block, even if it’s by one delegate.
The stakes have never been higher, it’s our country that hangs in the balance. We march on knowing it’s a righteous cause for which we fight. We refuse cash in our principles to appease the McCain supporters, the media, or the GOP sellouts. We are more determined with every primary that passes. Our resolve is strengthened with every state that is thoughtlessly placed in the hands of a Moderate. Neither our will nor our spirit can be broken. We won’t give up, so quit asking. We won’t change our vote to McCain, in fact its utter nonsense to even suggest it. We will ruthlessly and relentlessly fight for every last delegate in hopes of getting our candidate to the convention.
Soldier on Hucks Army! Remember the Alamo!! Oh, and McCain….Texas ain’t BLUE!
October 15, 1998 Texas Flooded: Arafat and Netanyahu meet on the Wye River Plantation in Maryland. The talks are scheduled to last five days with the focus on Israel giving up 13 percent of Yesha. The talks are extended and conclude on October 23. On October 17, awesome rains and tornadoes hit southern Texas. The San Antonio area is deluged with rain.
