A Plea to Huckabee Supporters
Posted by Duane Lester on Feb 2nd, 2008 • 335 Clicks

RGreg over at Free Republic has some words for those thinking of voting for Huckabee this Tuesday:

Let me first say that I am a born-again evangelical conservative voter who initially liked Huckabee even though I didn’t believe he was electable. However, the more I looked at Huckabee, the more I realized that his record as Governor didn’t really back what he was now championing. That is when I took a second look at Romney.

I remember first being impressed with him when I saw him give his speech at the Olympics. Of course, I, like many of you, was concerned about Romney’s Pro-Life conversion and wondered how it would play to the masses. I remembered watching one of his debates when he was running for Governor and thinking that it was too bad that he wasn’t Pro-Life. Well, now he is and let me remind some of you that Ronald Reagan was at one time Pro-Choice.

Then there is the part about Romney being Mormon. I was brought up being taught that Mormonism was a cult and that they were all going to hell. After reading some of the messages from the Huckabee supporters it is clear that a lot of them still believe this. As I’ve grown older I have come to the realization that it is not my duty to send people to hell. I personally have never met a Mormon that wasn’t a decent honest god-fearing citizen.

I can assure you there are a lot of stories that the MSM is sitting on until McCain wins the nomination. It is my view that John McCain has no chance of winning in November and I do not believe he will do as well as Bob Dole did. If you recall, Dole was leading in the Polls at this stage.

As for Huckabee, it is clear he is trying to help McCain. Maybe he has been promised something or maybe he just loves being in the spotlight. Either way, if McCain wins the nomination, the Republican base will blame him. Our only chance of stopping Hillary or Obama is to somehow convince Huckabee supporters to see the light as I have.

A vote for Huckabee at this point is a vote for Liberalism.
