Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee Officially Announces He Won't Ru

[CatholicCrusader]

in case you haven't heard Huckabee's gone.

I know. That's why the guy I was responding to asked me who I would pick, and why I said "I need to hear them talk more at the debates. I want the guy who can out-talk Obama"

That was almost 20 years ago well before Herman was in the national spotlight. He's since retired from being a CEO and has had a talk show on WSB in Atlanta for a while, as well as fill in for Boortz and Hannity on numerous occasions.

If - IF - Cain gets the Republican nomination you'll see the fangs and the venom from the Left. They'll do it to him too.

And he'll (meaning Cain or West) shut them up by saying "Which is more racist: acknowledging someone's skin color and moving on, or demanding that people think the way that the majority of others with that skin color think?"

Oh, yes, he would say that, and he'd be right, and you and me would applaud. But since when do the facts shut-up the Liberal press and their ani-Right hate machine?

Liberals aren't going to vote for him anyway, so what does it matter? It's doing nothing but steeling conservative voter's resolve.

But to WIN - which has been my whole point in several threads, winning - you need to get the independents. And a lot of independents listen to the mainstream idiots, getting there dose of half-hour news from some alphabet station. And if they are fed a constant stream of anti-Cain or anti-West propoganda that does not help at all.

That brings me back to several posts I posted originally: We need the guy who can WIN. I don't know why you guys keep arguing with me on that point. Do you want the guy who can win, or do you want to go over the cliff waving the flag of conservative purity?

Its like with the PaulBots: The PaulBots just don't get that a guy who promotes legalizing Heroin, prostitution and gay marriage is gonna LOSE. But they don't care, they're PaulBots and they would nominate Ron Paul, wave the Ron Paul flag until the end, and hand the White House to Obama for another four years, the morons.

I HAVE a guy that can win. Your failed logic is he can't win because the liberal press doesn't like him. As for anti-Cain propaganda, how old are you? How long have you been following elections? They're going to do that to ANY Republican candidate that polls close to their man child.

Regardless of the running joke, 1+1 does not equal potato.

...and I am NOT going to choose my ****ing presidential candidate based on the left's opinion.

I don't remember suggesting that you should

But you'd better choose the guy who can win: Its either that or four more years of Obama.

Thanks, Madden.

Do you know how to win the independent vote?  Offer them a clear choice.  Once again, to quote Rush: Conservatism works every time it's tried.

You don't water down your principles until you're no more than a weak Dem-lite: if the damn mushy middle wants a Dem, *******it, they'll vote for the real thing, not a Juan McLame wannabe shouting, "me, too" to every last Dhimmi'Rat talking point.  If you show them a conservative, and they vote for the cockroach in the blue suit anyway, then they were never really that open to begin with, were they?

GEEZZZ man, all I want to do is beat Obama and make sure we pick the guy who can do it, and you people are all climbing up my arse. WTF!

Fine. I'll get out of the thread.

Or perhaps get a better argument than, "we better get someone the leftist media says can beat Obama". Maybe you like the "Republicans" that the White House says scares them? Huntsman? Daniels?

Well, we tried it your way in 2008.  We nominated a guy who appealed to the squishy middle, who polled great with the independents.  He laid out a wonderfully milquetoast platform that sounded remarkably like that of his opponent (he wasn't against raising taxes, was all for increasing the Dhimmi'Rat voter base with another legislated amnesty; hell, he was an even stronger advocate for the Cap & Tax scheme of destroying America than Barry was), and he got his ass handed to him by a freshman senator/demagogue who had spent a grand total of about 140 days on the ****in' job.

No one asked you to get out of anything. You'll figure it out here soon enough. We don't have a bunch of people walking lockstep, nor will you get banned for disagreeing with anyone, but you have to expect people are going to be passionate and defend their principles.

The left talked glowingly of McCain but as soon as he became the nominee ( ) they eviscerated him just as much as any other non-socialist.

The only way we won't draw their ire is to run Bernie Sanders.

**** what they think, let's save the damn country...

...and shorten small game season.

Personally, I like Cain a lot. He's smart, extremely well-spoken. Talks with the voice of experience but accessible to the lay person. Doesn't try to be all things to all people and he is marketable.
