The Pilot vs. The Preacher

Dad died last in January. He was 88 years old, one week before becoming 89. He was a democrat his entire life and supported the democratic party. We did not always agree on who we thought should sit in the white house. We had discussed this election coming up. He told me that America is not ready for a female president or an African American for preseident. He said he hated to see it, but, he thought that the Republicans could run a dog catcher for president and win. I do believe my father was right. It appears at this time of the campains that the democrats have truly murdered their chances to get the white house. Most certainly, i will be voting republican. Dad would approve and I know I do.

MCCAIN HAS BROKE PARTY LINES AND HAS NOT SUPPORTED PEOPLE IN ARIZONA WHO WANT IMMIGRATION REFORM. MCCAIN HAS PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE A THIN SKINNED HOT HEAD AND I WOULDN'T TRUST HIM AROUND ANY LITTLE RED BUTTONS.

iF THE MEDIA IS GOING AFTER HUCKABEE PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME AS TO WHERE THIS IS GOING ON. CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE NOT DECIDING ON A CANDIDATE BASED ON RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH MIKE HUCKABEE. HE HAS A VERY LIBERAL RECORD AS THE GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS. SO HE MAY BE GETTING SOME CRITICISM THERE BUT I THINK THAT IS

FAIR


FAIR

hUCKABEE AND MCCAIN BOTH WENT NEGATIVE ON ROMNEY, FOR MCCAIN TO SAY THAT HUCKABEE RAN A POSITIVE CAMPAIGN IS NOT TRUE, SINCE HE TOO SHOWED THE PRESS THE NEGATIVE AD THAT HE SAID HE DECIDED NOT THE RUN. MCCAIN HAS LET DOWN BOTH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA WHO CENSURED HIM FOR BREAKING PARTY LINES AND HE HAS NOT BEEN TOUGH ON IMMIGRATION

I find it interesting to see that the parts of Lebanon closest to Israel in the summer of '06 were no go areas for the Lebanese army. The same is true about those parts of Pakistan close to the Afghani border. So, when the marauders do not respect borders, does it matter where the border lies.

This is at the heart of mischief making media in going after Mike Huckabee.

McCain has the experience to deal with the mess we are in overseas!

I support Mike Huckabee 100%

Mike is for the people of America, thats what matters most! Not to mention Time magazine named Mike Huckabee in the top 5 U.S. Governors. Mike Huckabee has a proven track record. We Like Mike!

Mike Huckabee is no John McCain.

Huckabee is against amnesty. He was for Bush's tax cuts. He governed a state for a decade. I appreciate McCain's service in the Navy, but he is out of step with the Republican Party majority.

Also, Huckabee is the only candidate in either party who can be trusted to be pro-life. With all due respect to the previous post, Thompson is a day late and a dollar short.

Only Thompson is serious about bringing abortion under control. He knows that the key is to appoint one more strict constructionist to the Supreme Court. The pro-abortionist know it, too. To confirm the right candidate will be the fight of the century. It will take every ounce of a President's political capital to win the fight. A compromise will allow abortion to continue unchecked for another generation.
Huck has shown repeatedly that he will compromise or shift positions whenever advantageous. The only one that will NOT compromise his principles ??? or fail us - is Fred Thompson. If you really want the ongoing massacre of the unborn to stop - get serious. Look at the facts. Fred Thompson is our ONLY prayer.

The cross in the ad was not important. Important is the fact that Huckabee lied about it. Just like he lied about having a Theology degree (he dropped out of the seminary after the first year). He ran negative ads against Mitt until he ran out of money and then claimed he was not running them because it was wrong - but leaked the ad to the media so they would play it for free. I went to two of his speeches and heard him make personal attacks on Mitt's characters, clamming that the Romney COMPARATIVE ad was all lies. He never said what was actually false, though, and in the last debate, Mitt finally made him admit the assertion was true. Huckabee is not who he claims to be, does not stand for what he claims to stand for, and can not be trusted any more than his brother in spirit, Bill Clinton.

I am also a Veteran, but prefer someone who can fix things, Romney. Romney also better reflects my social and religious views as a Christian/Mormon, without being preachy like Huckabee.

I'm watching CNN, and Romney has actually crept up three points in the margins since they called it, with just 15,000 extra votes counted. Whether he comes back and wins it after 35,000 more are counted or not, he is now within six percent of McCain and ten percent better off than I thought he would be. Sounds like his message is resonating with a lot of Independents! Mitt is also twelve percent closer to a win than George Bush was in 2000. He is also a massive eighteen percent ahead of Huckabee in the State, who is in third.

It is completely absurd to base a political decision as important as electing the president of the United States of America on whether or not a bookcase was a subliminal cross. Even it was a cross and was intentional it appeared in a Christmas message. I would think that a cross would be fitting on the observance of the birth of Jesus Christ, who was crucifed on the cross. Whether or not you are a Christian, celebrate Christmas or believe in the resurrection of Christ jesus, America gives every citizen the right to observe thier individual religion and freedom of speech and expression constitutionally protects the right to display religious artifacts, symbols, and paraphernalia. It would be wise to reminder this election season, when you are exercising your constitutional right to vote, just exactly what that sacred document entails. Persecuting Christians because you disagree with thier religon or right to practice it is couterintuitive to the entire election process.

This is going to be a historic election. For myself, on a personal level, my son will be voting for the first time. He looks to me for guidance. AIEEE! I'm hoping in a general way that we put a Democrat in the White House. I can't help but wonder if the Dems ain't pointing the gun right at their foot. Let's see... an African American AND a women vying for the nomination. Not assuming either one of them will get it but I do not know if enough American people are ready to elect either one right now (though we should elect the best president regardless of planet of origin). This could create a vote demolishing vaccum that will sink the ship. That said, I think the fact that John McCain, alone of all the folks up there on the stage right now, has the clearest idea of the cost of freedom. He has the clearest idea of the personal, physical and mental sacrifice. I believe he, as president would give ALL our vets fair treatment and he would do well on the world front- not commit us to useless wars. And that counts for alot in this vets book.

I have watched ALL debates. Taking a look at all candidates on both sides, I think our country is in trouble.

I could never vote for Mike Huckabee for to me Huckabee's 'defining moment' was when he denied seeing the cross blazing in the background of his 'Christmas card' campaign ad...First of all, anyone who thinks that everything to the tiniest detail of every commercial that is aired by any campaign is not microscopically scurtinized is either not from this planet or at least has not seen a TV since the 1950's. Ed Rawlings and the rest of Huckabees handlers (and you know the candidate himself) with absolute certainty viewed and reviewed that commercial. And just to reiterate, it was a campaign ad regardless of the seqason or the background. The Baptist minister who professes to see God in everything is completely lacking in candor to suggest that the brightly lit 'cross' in the background of that ad only come to his attention when further highlighted by the media. True to form, ole' chuckles Huckabee was actually very funny and disarming when he recalled the story from trivial dicsography that playing a partucular Beatles record backward was reported as some to say, "Paul is dead" to parallel the lack of truth to the intent of the cross in the commercial. But Huckabee is just as didsingenuous as he seems to be disarming when caught in one of his unprepared moments when he said that he did not see the cross in the background of his commercial. Anyone who has ever been around a television production or movie set will readily tell you that it is fundamental to cinematography to scrutinize key elements in every scene, and the idea that the director of the commercial and/or the director of photography if they were different people did not see that brightly lit 'bookcase' and even if it was initially an accident of the work f lighting the scene intentionally leave it in after seeing it is beyong the pale of credibility, and lying about it is certainly defining moment in knowing what the true Huckabee character really is. Not funny, and not honest.
