It is important to think long and hard about your decision for the 2008 Primaries. There are two choices left for the Super Tuesday vote. Two, you may ask, but there are three candidates. Well, lets break it down, if you want to stand for Mike Huckabee, John McCain will be elected. If you vote for John McCain, John McCain will be elected. The other choice is Mitt Romney.
As an evangelical Huckabee should be ruled out. His Pro Life stand is exceptional. His pro family stand is good regarding marriage, but what about removing the ceilings for families to pursue the American Dream, economic freedom. He does not have the experience to lead us there. He seems to have a great disdain for Mitt Romney’s success and free markets. It is bothersome at how many times he eludes to Mitt’s money. First of all, Mitt Romney is a patriot to this nation by giving Americans a vision of what you can become with hard work, perseverance and a positive attitude.
Huckabee knows that the numbers are not there for him to win, yet as long as he stays in a true conservative will not have the votes to beat John McCain. John McCain and Mike worked well together during the debates and in the campaign. With both of them tag teaming Romney when the chances arose. John McCain is far from a conservative, here is a man that does more than reach across the aisle. In July 2004, he considered leaving the Republican party as a Vice President for John Kerry, which he denied (listen). Evangelicals did not vote for John Kerry for his liberal views, would we then promote John McCain.
We have an opportunity to turn a corner and reinvigorate the conservative base of America. This will open more opportunity economically for us evangelicals to do what ultimately believe in, evangelize.

“I’m getting more and more insight into John McCain everyday. The following comment helped me quite a bit to become clearer on what a McCain presidency would be like:
Let us look at McCain’s conservative credentials:
-IMMIGRATION: he wrote the bill granting amnesty to illegal immigrants (co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy)
-SOCIAL SECURITY: he voted to give your social security money to illegal immigrants
-TAXES: he voted against the Bush tax cuts multiple times (he has since flip-flopped and has campaigned as a lifelong tax-cutter)
-RHETORIC: he routinely engages in Democratic class warfare against big companies in America, particularly the “evil” drug companies who research cures to debilitating diseases for a profit
-ECONOMY: as recently as December 2007 he admitted “he does not know the economy very well” and needed to get better at it
-1ST AMENDMENT: he wrote the McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that was declared to be an unconstitutional infringement of the 1st Amendment (co-sponsored by ultra-liberal Democrat Russ Feingold)
-2ND AMENDMENT: he was called the “worst 2nd amendment candidate” by the president of the NRA
-ENERGY TAX: wrote a bill (co-sponsored by his buddy Lieberman) imposing a massive tax on energy which, according to the Department of Energy, would drastically raise the price of gasoline and put 300,000 Americans out of work
-GLOBAL WARMING: supports radical global warming legislation which involved him voting with every Democrat; think only America is responsible to take action, not other superpowers
-JUDGES: he joined forces with Democrats (Gang of 14) to block the Senate Republican’s attempt to confirm conservative, strict constructionist judges
-WAR ON TERROR: fought with Hillary Clinton to demand that terrorists be given a full American trial
-GAY MARRIAGE: he joined liberals to fight against a federal marriage amendment supporting the institution of traditional marriage
-CHRISTIANS: campaigning in 2000, he famously described Christian leaders as “agents of intolerance”
-PRO-LIFE: he filed an amicus brief against pro-life advocates in Wisconsin
-BI-PARTISANSHIP: he met with leading Democrats in 2004 to discuss the possibility of being John Kerry’s Vice-President
-PROFESSIONAL ETHICS: ringleader of the infamous Keating 5 ethical scandal which cost US tax payers $160 billion (Google it)
-PERSONAL ETHICS: McCain cheated on his first wife after she had a severe accident that left her partially disabled. He then divorced her and married his multi-millionaire mistress, whose daddy bought McCain a spot in the Congress”
