It ain’t over ‘til Kate Smith hits the high note
Naïve Huckabee loyalists, continuing to ballot for him, should accept the harsh reality that their votes provide an assist to the liberal Señor McCain. They are akin to the frustrated voters who cast ballots for Independent Ross Perot and ended up facilitating Bill Clinton’s 1992 ride into the White House.
The truth is, McCain cannot unite Republicans. He is a creation of the left-leaning media, desirous of fracturing the GOP base.
I remember that exact feeling of frustration. I realized what it could potentially –and ultimately, did, mean. I’m happy to say I did not vote for Perot. I knew plenty who did, and we got Billary.
Great article, Seeing Red.
Every once in a while, we need a reminder of how those demanding perfection can sink the good. Romney is not perfect, but he is the best electable candidate available to carry forward the Republican philosophy in the White House.
Conservative Republicans who vote for Huckabee are helping to install Senor Juan in the Oval Office, where he would make McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy, McCain/Lieberman, etc. look like conservative legislation.
Be afraid! Be very afraid!!
You bet I’m afraid! What worries me, Ben, is the religious fundamentalists who are stuck on Huckabee and are worried that Romney isn’t enough of a Christian for them.
Let me remind them that Mormons belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Are we now at the point where we are electing a national minister instead of a president? In the future are Baptists going to withhold their votes from Presbyterians? What is this? John Kennedy was scorned by those who said electing a Catholic would mean the Pope would rule America. Haven’t we gotten past this bigotry?
Whites are more than willing to elect a Black and men will cast votes for a woman, yet being a faith based man who happens to be LDS is anathema to evangelicals. We need to coalesce behind the most conservative candidate and defeat Open Borders McCain.
You don’t seem to realize that your anti-Hispanic racism evident in “Senor McCain” are exactly what lost the Florida primary for Gov. Romney.
As a Democrat, I’m happy to see you alienate huge segments of the American electorate as you have the otherwise very conservative Republicans in the Cuban-American community of Florida, but you are cutting your own throats as an electoral majority.
President Bush would have lost the last two elections decisively had he not done so well with Hispanic voters. As David Brooks wrote yesterday in the New York Times, when will conservatives realize that bashing immigrants is a sure loser in elections? Apparently it’s a loser even in Republican primaries.
Richard Grayson:
What absolute nonsense! I read this site almost daily. It does not “bash” immigrants or engage in racism. If it did, I wouldn’t read it. It DOES draw the line with ILLEGALS who are coming here by the thousands daily with no respect for our laws or national sovereignty. There is a huge difference between lawful immigration, which has enriched our country, and criminals who hold the rule of law in disregard. What don’t you get about that? Incidentally, my mother is half Honduran. My father’s relatives immigrated (legally) from Ireland. I guess that makes me a Heinz 57 variety. Am I also a “racist?”
