It has been a few days of recuperation from Super Tuesday and Mitt Romney’s disappointing withdrawal from the Presidential race. With that behind us, it is time to look forward strategically as evangelicals towards the next big event, the Presidential election. There is a lot at stake with the values of the liberal left, our economy, the war on terror and our children’s future. This is a major battle that will need all participants. This blog has not been a big fan of John McCain yet he carries some significant differences from the huge government socialists that will solve your problems with money they don’t have, by taking from those who have worked hard to earn it.
It has become very difficult to move on and prepare for our future when the statistical improbability of Mike Huckabee lingers around. As an evangelical, I can see why people support him: He is a nice guy, was a pastor, cares about people and has done very well with little financial support. The problem is his lack of ability to see the big picture. The big picture is this:
He has never handled a world wide crisis such as war
He has never handled a prospering country on the down slide and brought it back up
He is ignorant on the necessity of foreign trade and how to improve it
He claims to be the most conservative candidate, when the populist economy of Arkansas was hardly a conservative move
He did raises taxes which he denies.
He uses his two terms as governor to proclaim his leadership, but so did Bill Clinton.
He has a great animosity towards those who have prospered in our country, including his obvious disdain for Mitt Romney and his money.
He says he is staying in this race for the little guy, what about the little guy who supports John McCain.
He does not consider his running as affecting the future of our country by not allowing the only statistical winner, John McCain, of putting his money towards beating Hillary or Barak.
Bottom line, Mike Huckabee does not represent evangelical conservatism, but maybe a good pastor.

I have a question for Conservatives who claim that there is something honorable about not voting for McCain. Who spend more of their time beating down a fellow Republican, while ignoring the extreme liberal forces that are about to kick their butts completely out of every branch of government.
McCain may be the most liberal conservative – but that is light years away from what a pure liberal dem would bring our society with little opposition to worry about. Obama is ranked among the most radically liberal in his public policy record.
This is not just about who will be President for 4 years. It’s about preventing a complete washout of all conservative influence.. How is having only 50% of McCain’s ear worse than having zip out of a liberal dictatorship who thinks all conservative thought is archaic?
What is honorable about sitting on your butt at home, refusing to vote – allowing all branches of government to be swarmed by RABIDLY liberal opponents who have vowed to undo everything conservatives have fought to achieve over the past decade?
I hear endless whining and griping from Conservatives – while the extreme liberals, who are bent on reversing every conservative principal – out number us at the polls nearly two to one. Is that principal or do conservatives just have a death wish to see our country turn to the extreme left (who has no problem getting their hind ends to the polls)..
What is so conservative about beating down the (soon to be) nominee who supports our troops, instead of the extreme liberals who insult our troops and degrade them every single day in front of the entire world?
By punishing John McCain for not being conservative enough – you are really punishing all conservatives by making absolutely sure they will be governed by radical, rabid liberalism for the next 4 to 8 years.
By stomping your feet and refusing to help, you in turn assure that the laws of the land will have few conservatives in a position of power to stop a runaway liberal train that will further infiltrate our school, explode your tax burden and socialize every part of your life it can.
If you must be dragged to the polls, then don’t bother complaining when our courts are swarmed by the liberals who will put judges in power.
Please think twice before punishing the rest of us conservatives, who may not love McCain, but are smart enough to realize the living nightmare that will ensue, if things continue on the path they are going.
I see nothing conservative about being so focused on the anthill, you completely ignore the volcano that’s about to wipe your entire cause out. That is not principal. That’s political suicide. Will conservatives ever learn?.
