Before we, the American people, consider putting Senator John McCain in the white house, there are some things to be considered. When my family contacted him on three different occasions about violation of our Constitutional Rights, we did receive correspondence back on all three. The bottom line is he did nothing to help us. My father is a Korean War Veteran. I only mention this because it is used by Senator McCain in his campaign. So apparently it alone is supposed to stand for something.
A doctor and his wife, Arizona Residents, filed a dependency petition in AZ for 2 minor children that were residents of Nevada. Not only did AZ have them brought to the petitioners but they also did not tell NV that they were residents of the state. AZ also never contacted the immediate family and when the family found them on their own, the state refused to process them. The Korean War Veteran I spoke of is the Paternal Grandfather to these children. The Attorney General’s office in AZ have stated in federal court documents that “at all times have acted Under a Color of Law.” I guess baby brokering is legal in the state of Arizona! The children have been adopted by these people and the immediate family has been severed (even though we passed a home study in Florida).
If Senator McCain cannot help protect the rights of one family how will he run a nation. (copies of letters from Sen. McCain upon request)

The Clowes - Operhall Family

Many would question whether Mike Huckabee is a true conservative; I would question whether he is even a true CHRISTIAN! For an ex-Baptist preacher, the man sure has a potty mouth! Re: where to put the flag pole if anyone disagreed with his position on the Confederate flag, and also considering the risqué music/song lyrics used by Huckabee and his band, Capitol Offense. Imagine the pastor of your church singing H*y Tonk Woman or Devil With a Blue Dress (song lyrics would be offensive to many) (www.irdial.com/blogdial/?p=909).

Huckabee has a history of corruption and lack of ethics and is one of two republican presidential candidates on the list of TOP TEN MOST CORRUPT POLITICIANS of 2007 (www.judicialwatch.org/judicial-watch-announces-list-washington-s-ten-most-wanted-corrupt-politicians-2007). One example, after being married for 30 years, Huckabee set up a WEDDING registry at Target for him and his wife to receive gifts for their house. The wedding registry was a way to avoid ethics laws prohibiting gifts to politicians.

Huckabee has also spawned a son who stoned and hung a dog to death. David was fired as a Boy Scout’s counselor for disobeying the “Be Kind” rule. Daddy Huck hindered the police investigation of David for animal cruelty. (www.newsweek.com/id/78241) This should bring pause to anyone thinking of voting for Huckabee. Family animal cruelty issues often times indicate other problems as well.
His personality is described at Wikipedia as petty, thin-skinned, self-righteous, and somewhat vindictive (www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Huckabee).

He could never win in a general election. Imagine his Confederate flag flap being played over and over in the Dem’s TV ads. And he wants to amend the Constitution to his religous agenda. This would alienate too many moderates and independents. If you vote for Huckabee you will be wasting your vote.

That is why we with conservative principles Win elections and also why we LOSE elections.

If the majority of US would actually take a stand then this country wouldn’t be going the wrong direction.

Im staring to understand what exactly Rush was talking about!

This man is not what he seems.<<<

Worldnetdaily?!?!!?!? You’re going to listen to that propaganda crap? It’s all making sense now.

Scott - you can say all you want but I will not vote for McCain nor Huckabee. So what if the Democrats win the White House? At least, they will be blamed for all the doom this Country is heading into! As for me, I will stand on my conservative principles. It is not a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils. Evil is evil no matter how you spin it. McCain is dishonest. So is Huckabee!<<<

As I said…fine…stand on your conservative principles and don’t vote. The point I am making is that when you lose more by doing so now you are just just “principled” you are “stobborn”. Six Supreme Court Justices over the age of 67 including Scalia. Out of those it’s likely that in the next four years alone about four of them will retire. Some say McCain will appoint moderates Justices…well what do you think Hillary and Obama will appoint? Their nominations will be writing law from the bench every time and with the liberals that are already on the Supreme Court it will give the democrats control of the Supreme Court for some 20 years. So my point is…what is worse for your principles? McCain for four years or a liberal Supreme Court for 20 years?

Some say McCain can’t be trusted on taxes. Well you KNOW Hillary an Obama will raise taxes. Heck they have admitted they would do so…a lot. What do you think “shared responsibility” means anyhow?

You say let the Democrats doom the country. Great plan. Sounds a lot like the Democrats “cut and run” policy on Iraq. Just give up and surrender because it’s not going your way. If the hard-liners were smart they would support McCain because a moderate conservative is better than an ultra-liberal. Then they would aggressively go after seats in Congress in order to give the GOP a majority again and let Congress pressure McCain with refusal to pass his legislation that does not meet given criteria as he has said in regards to pork. If the hard-liners do that they can have majority control of all three branches of government and the Supreme Court for 20 years. THAT benefits your principles.

Now voting is a right not an obligation which means you have the right not to choose. If you choose NOT to choose based on your precious principles that’s fine. But don’t cry when the Supreme Court begins writing liberal policy from the bench. Don’t cry when you pay more out of your paycheck for new taxes. Don’t cry when terrorists are emboldened because Obama can’t figure out that “no we CAN’T just get along”. Don’t cry when the borders are flung wide open. You will at least have your principles.

Again, how am I a hard liner? Because I care about my country and the principles that have made it great over all these years.<<<

Your response furthers my point. I live in a border state and I am against amnesty as well. However the reality is the United States government is not going to round up every kitchen and farm worker and toss the on the other side of the nearest border. It’s not realistic, it’s not practical, and the Democrats who currently control Congress would never allow it to happen. What is often misunderstood in McCain/Kennedy is that a FAR more liberal and permissive amnesty bill was being developed by the Democrats. Senators McCain and Kyl got on board because it appeared to have support an their way of thinking was to at least make it a compromise that included border security and other conservative viewpoints as well instead of the disaster the liberals would have brought on. In retrospect it was still a disaster but it represents the willingness to compromise. You say he will appoint moderate judges….would you rather have Hillary and Obama’s LIBERAL judges? That is why I consider you (and others) a hard-liner. You do not appear willing to compromise at all on this and other issues. Standing on your principles is fine but when you do so inflexibly now it becomes stubbornness and that does nothing more than further the “Hatfield and McCoy” environment currently in Congress.

I just read a article on worldnetdaily about McCain and his connection to George Soros (Moveon.org) I knew that if he was in Congress that long he would have connections to Globalists, Liberals and open borders advocates like Soros, and T. Heinz/Kerry.

This man is not what he seems.

We need a true American like Mike to run this nation. Mike will protect our Sovereignty and Constitution. (One Nation Under God)

Mike Huckabee

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is a genuine, honest man of principle who connects with people on a personal level. It is clear that his commitment is not to gaining power or to advancing an agenda as a politician, but to humbly serving the people as their president. He does not ignore the common folk outside of society’s elite establishment, but rather he understands the needs of every American.
His ability to lead and to achieve results is evident from his more than 10 years as governor of Arkansas, where he was able to cut taxes nearly 100 times with an almost entirely Democratic state legislature. He is unmatched by any other candidate in the race in terms of executive leadership experience, and Time Magazine honored him as one of the five best governors in America. Further, his skill for communicating clearly and passionately can unite America internally and with other countries.

I can trust Huckabee to defend this country from our enemies because he understands the nature of the war on terror and the need to secure our borders. He has a record of preserving moral values from decaying within society and is determined to appoint federal judges who interpret the law, not legislate from the bench. He will also practice fiscal conservatism and work to implement the Fair Tax, a national sales tax, and stop penalizing the populace’s productivity with other taxes.

As Huckabee has said, his personal faith defines him and thus will give him the inner strength he needs to endure in an office as grueling and demanding as that of the U.S. president. I can sense his sincerity of heart and soundness of character by listening to what he says, watching how he presents himself, how he treats others and how he reacts to what life throws at him. He has temperately suffered the animosity laid against him by many in the conservative establishment, patiently dealt with unfair scrutiny of his religious background and endured the loss of public exposure to his message due to biased coverage by some in the mainstream media.

Despite being outspent by his rivals by tens of millions of dollars, he remains competitive in this modern political race because his message is needed by the American people. The sheer strength of his grassroots support base and its traditional volunteer efforts have brought him to this point. I can say that Huckabee is someone of whom I can really approve and not just a lesser of two evils. He is a proven leader with a vision that can inspire this nation if he is given the opportunity to be the 44th president of the United States.
