"Read My Lips, No New Taxes", The Bush-McCain Connection.
Given the fact that every imaginable high-ranking conservative has given their endorsement to John McCain, should not the party rank and file just fall in and throw all their grassroots might behind the "Chosen Candidate?" No. Last time anyone bothered to check, the rule book includes something inane about the people of the party actually voting for the candidate. Enter Mike Huckabee, who is as non-party elite as one can be, yet still holds the party near and dear to his heart. The problem with Mike Huckabee is that he is for the people first, not the party. This is the way he successfully governed in Arkansas (he has an impeccable record which is ignored in favor of the elite and the media crying "Christian" every chance they get, in an attempt to frighten off the general public, who are? - Christian's in some form or other. Those Evangelicals are hardly different from Catholics, Protestants (which, as a Catholic I thought they fell under that umbrella), or any one practicing any faith in this country. Once the fog lifted from the elite hue and cry, it was duly noted that the man actually had more experience than any other candidate, and a successful record of dealing with both sides of the aisle in order to accomplish a thing or two.
The problem is that the administration and elite have anointed McCain as one most likely to fall into line with party dogma; the media loves McCain as he suits their more liberal leanings and frankly, is the easiest target for the Democrats this November. What's not to love about this guy? No disrespect to his service, but his voting record is dismal at best, if you happen to be moderately conservative.
Is there a choice or a chance at this point? Decidedly yes. There is still hope, hope that Mike Huckabee will take the 51% or so, delegates in the remaining states, force it to the convention and garner enough votes in a brokered convention to give the party back to the people and make an honest and successful run at the white house in November.
Is it no wonder that the RNC has given state delegates from Michigan to McCain. They fear that Mike can win, and that if they don't stop him, the party is over.
(Not the Republican Party, but the inside the beltway, elite party).
Is it no wonder that the final debate has not taken place? Why would McCain enter to debate with Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul? Because should he do so, he would be shown to be the fraud he is.
Mike will survive (see You Tube video below).
