A month ago the Core republican establishment made this a 4 man race for the GOP nomination. The picture below ran on a GOP website. OK, time being on some candidates side and not on others means that one of these men is gone. After tomorrow another will be. What is now a 4 man race will be a 3 man race. One of those men is not even on this picture the establishment GOP published. That man is now number 2 or 3 if you read the latest polls. I have to rub their collective noses in it a little bit.
To be fair, I did a detailed study of every position paper and political position Mike Huckabee is proposing which if you care you can too by googling Mike Huckabee for President. I disagree with him on a few issues. Like agriculture. He is for supports. I am not.
That doesn't mean I won't support him vigorously because we have disagreements. I know his Fair Tax plan is DOA. But it's a discussion we need to have. What can we do to completely overhaul the IRS? Diddling with is (as is the position with the other 2 candidates is no position at all.
So, Wednesday Morning it will be Huck Romney McCain. Of the three, I think its time for the GOP to ask who their soulmate really is. War Hero, War Scmerro. McCain has ridden that horse as far as it will go. George H W Bush was a war hero. Draft dodger Clinton kicked his butt. Bob Dole was a war hero. Draft Dodger Clinton kicked his butt in spades. Veteran Bob Kerry alleged war hero was kicked all over the place by George W Bush alleged draft dodger and Al Gore Vietnam Vet was beaten by alleged draft dodger George W Bush.
SO, don't give me that war hero stuff. It don't sell no more. McCain's politics of Best friends with the Clintons and appeasement at any price is a loser.
Romney's work record is good, but his political record is one that puts real caution in me.
Meanwhile the GOP center keeps making up lies about Huckabee to discredit him. The last one I heard was on Glen Beck regarding Fat Boy Report cards. Ever been to Arkansas at a Wal Mart? They need those report cards.
SO, WHEN IS THE GOP GOING TO COME TO GRIPS WITH REALITY. We are about to go into a general election with a great orator with charisma and charm who will promise anything. That ain't Hillary.
Which of the three is a great orator who can stand toe to toe in charisma and charm and hold the line by inspiring greatness? When is the GOP establishment going to embrace the real candidate in this general election. Mike Huckabee. I just did.
