McCain Still Not Clicking With Conservatives…

One thing is for sure if McCain was to name Mike Huckabee as his VP running mate I will be 100% against him even if it means enduring four years with a Democrat President.

So who shall we support? Bob Barr threw his hat in the ring as a Libertaria…..

Huckabee was an excellent governor of a divided state, but I don’t think he is the right man for VP. Without campaign money he was forced to appeal to the religious right to get his name out there, and now Dems can easily attack him. It’s too bad too because he is a proven leader and a brilliant speaker.

[...] Could Huckabee really be his VP choice? In my opinion and many others, it appears there is still room for the ticket from hell to form. [...]

Huckabee will not be on the ticket. Every week he stays in the race from here forward, his chances drop from the 5 percent chance he had before Romney dropped out.

Iâ€™ve pretty much decided that if Huckabee is on the GOP ticket, Iâ€™m voting for the Democrats.

I’m there as well. I can hold my nose and vote for McCain, but I don’t want Huckabee anywhere near power.

Romney should just stick around until the convention. When the GOP sees what a mess they’re getting themselves into with McCain-Huckabee, they might just drop all their support on Romney instead… They should, anyways. Huckabee is crazy, he has nothing to do near the White House or any other political office the way he carries on. McCain-Huckabee would easily beat the Democrats, but it would be a disaster for the country as much as Clinton-Richardson or whatever it would be with Clinton at the top of the ticket.

I’ve pretty much decided that if Huckabee is on the GOP ticket, I’m voting for the Democrats. If the Democrats put Hillary at the top of their ticket, I’m voting for the GOP. If it comes down to Hillary vs McCain-Huckabee… I’ll just have to vote for whatever poor bastard shows up in the Independent slot like I did in 2004.

Look, I’m already going to have to go into the voting booth wearing an SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) to vote for McCain. If he’s foolish enough to choose the Empty-Suited Huckster as a running mate, I’ll simply pass on the presidential vote and vote the rest of the ticket as I see fit.

Huck brought a lot into this election that didn’t need to be there. The only way he ever got his name in the press was to take cheap shots at everybody but McCain. His domestic policy is indecipherable and his foreign policy consists of inviting Iran’s mullahs to come and sing Kumbyeya around the campfire. Maybe that passes as qualified in Arkansas, but not in my neighborhood.

“But a conservative with a lot less baggage would be better than a Huckabee whose shameless pandering to the religious right would not sit well in states where McCain has a chance for a breakthrough.”

Is it pandering when you are championing your own beliefs and they happen to align with the beliefs of those on the “religious right”? Pandering (as I understand it) would be hiding your own beliefs and telling people what they want to hear. Pandering is what McCain does when speaking before real conservatives.

Pandering is what Huckabee would be doing if he shut up and towed the moderate republican line.

I don’t care for either candidat but Huck is not pandering in the example cited.
