Conservative Thoughts on The Republican Primaries/Caucuses


Mike Huckabee says he will not step aside, no matter how much pressure he faces to let John McCain and Mitt Romney duke it out in a two-man race.


So lead the report from FOX News.

Later, the man from Hope (Arkansas) said in Tuscaloosa,
If this were a boxing match, you’re gonna have to completely knock me out and carry me out of the ring because I’m not throwing in the towel. Absolutely not going to leave the ring and I’m going the distance … On any given day another candidate can say something that can take them completely out, so I’m never one that gives up hope.


Romney claims to be conservative, and wants to consolidate the conservative vote behind him.

Romney and his strategists have said Huckabee could split the conservative vote, a bloc Romney is courting heavily. He wants to consolidate support among that group as McCain comes under fire from the far right for being too moderate on illegal immigration and other hot-button issues.


Conservative? Really? Let's see we know McCain is the most liberal Republican candidate in the race. Or so the conventional thought is. With McCain being weak on the human life amendment, traditional marriage and immigration. All issues that Conservatives differ with him on.

However, let's look at Romney who is weak on the human life amendment, gun rights not to mention the homosexual agenda. He supports curriculum that promotes homosexuality and even supports laws forcing businesses to favor homosexuality. One would think with his Mormon background that he would be opposed to this key "moral" issues, but the facts say otherwise.

Coming in a close third behind Roney and McCain in National polling, he told FOX News that he was frustrated that anyone was calling this a 2-man race. “Why would you call me a Romney spoiler? Why don’t you call Romney a Huckabee spoiler?”

A FOX News poll released Friday showed McCain with 48 percent, Romney with 20 percent and Huckabee with 19 percent. Texas Rep. Ron Paul took in 5 percent in the poll.

Polls suggest Huckabee could come in second, or maybe even squeak out a win in southern, conservative states like Georgia, Alabama, Missouri, Oklahoma and his home state of Arkansas.


Personally, this blogger would like to see Ron Paul withdraw. I believe many of his 5% of the registered voters would then fall in behind Huckabee and his flat tax plan.

One more note, this is a Conservative thought, but I just heard on FOX News that one candidate, has paid $2 million to have an ad on during the Super Bowl. That one candidate is the one candidate that can afford it. The one candidate that is trying to buy the nomination. I won't get to see it, since I have to be at work. Oh well.

Please join me, in casting your vote for the only true Conservative Mike Huckabee.
