When someone tells anyone not to vote at all unless they vote for a particular candidate is in violation of constitutional rights. I will accept the challenge and fight for what I think is right with all of my might. In spite of my physical weaknesses, I do have help! Philippians 4:13 (KJV) “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”  |

Some unions are realizing not all employees are Democrats. Do a “google” search and see how many news articles containing actual union endorsements for Huckabee as their Republican choice you find. Try typing “union endorses Huckabee.”) Maybe the article in the New York Times headlined, “From the Back of the Pack” written by David Brooks, one of their writers, where he listed seven reasons Mike Huckabee “might have a realistic shot at winning the Republican nomination” explains why.
| Quote: |
Fifth, the white working class is the backbone of the GOP. Huckabee is most in tune with these voters. He was the first male in his family to graduate from high school. He paid his way through college by working 40 hours a week and getting a degree in 2 1/2 years… At the recent Republican economic debate, he was the candidate who most vociferously argued that the current economy is not working for the middle class. As the others spoke, he thought to himself: "You guys don't get out much. You should meet somebody who's not handing you a $2,300 check." He condemns "immoral" CEO salaries, and on global trade he sounds like a Democrat: "There's no free trade without fair trade."…
But Huckabee is something the party needs. He is a solid conservative who is both temperamentally and substantively different from the conservatives who have led the country over the past few years.
He's rising in the polls. His popularity with the press corps suggests he could catch a free media wave that would put him in the top tier. He deserves to be there.

He also received over 40% of the African American vote in Arkansas for both of his elections as Governor. |

This morning I heard the Fox and Friends reporting of Nancy Pelosi giving in to some of her supporters to keep a bipartisan opposed bill on the table to keep their vote; (the one forcing Salvation Army to hire Hispanic speaking employees.) If she is willing to cave in to keep support, has Nancy Pelosi changed her businesses to hire union employees yet? Or don’t unions really care about the double standard as long as she still preaches what she, herself doesn’t practice? NewsMax magazine had an article in its Nov. 2005 edition in which they reported “The Left’s Double Standard.” The article was titled, “Exposing Liberal Hypocrisy in America.” The article reported many of Pelosi’s businesses that were non-union.
Quote from the article:
| Quote: |
| “In addition to the wine business, the Pelosis are involved in the hotel and restaurant business…The hotel has more than 250 employees – many of them Hispanic immigrants. But the Auberge du Soliel is strictly a non-union shop. Ironically, Nancy Pelosi should not plan on convening a retreat or leadership meeting with labor leaders at Auberge. Her buddies in the AFL-CIO leadership have a policy of staying only in hotels that hire union help. In addition to Auberge, the Pelosis are partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti…The chain boast 900 employees…But a union card is not required to work there…We discover that the Pelosis’ largest investments – all make use of immigrant labor, those most vulnerable to labor exploitation. Pelosi favors liberal immigration laws and amnesty for illegals already here. Her public position perfectly fits her financial interest. Nancy Pelosi, a champion of the poor and downtrodden in capitalist America, has assets valued at between $25 million and $102 million, according to news reports based on her financial disclosure forms…her press operation had no comment…But her Web site does make it clear that she’s very upset at her political opponents who are always “rewarding wealth over work and putting profits before people.” |

My younger brother told me the main reason some rich people are Democrats is because they wanted to protect their “elite” status. If income taxes were low, that would cause industrious people to be able to achieve wealth. So, if the wealthy by inheritance wanted to maintain their “elite” status, they might have to actually work to keep up. My niece, his daughter, proudly displayed a bumper sticker saying, “If Democrats were smart, they’d be Republican.” According to a news article I just read, they could be right.
Quote:
Private wealth specialists Lewis Schiff and Russ Alan Prince found the number of Americans with $1 million to $10 million had risen to 8.4 million households -- or 7.6 percent of U.S. households -- and was growing at 15 percent a year.
But instead of entering the echelons of the elite, these new millionaires adhere to middle-class values, earning their money rather than inheriting it, working 70 hours a week, and choosing neighbourhoods based on the quality of schools.

I love reading the American dream success stories relating to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. |

Do you feel your mental health is not what it should be? Maybe some Democrats should consider changing political parties.
| Quote: |
Republicans Report Much Better Mental Health Than Others
Relationship persists even when controlling for other variables…
PRINCETON, NJ -- Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent, according to data from the last four November Gallup Health and Healthcare polls. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans report having excellent mental health, compared to 43% of independents and 38% of Democrats. This relationship between party identification and reports of excellent mental health persists even within categories of income, age, gender, church attendance, and education.

Do the democrats really know what it is like to work anymore? You might want to check out www.mikehuckabee.com to see how in tune he is with the working class. The reason he is hated by some of the "conservative" right wingers is because he knows what it is like to live from paycheck to paycheck because he did that most of his life. He has the compassion of a pastor's heart. Even many unions are supporting him. |

Sadly a persons' religious views are considered more important than issues, hence many wont vote huckabee since he was a former baptist minister and wont vote romney for his mormon backgrounds(yet nothing is ever mentioned about the partial muslim background of obama, tricky political machine we have) |

It is sad when we realize Huckabee was a Governor longer than he was a pastor. Huckabee has more political executive experience than any of the other candidates. It is also sad that people are still gullible enough to believe the Democrats are still the party of the middle income working class. I know the poorest like them because of all the handouts. I don't have a problem with helping those that are honestly trying to work and support themselves. But, I do have a problem with making those that are working support those that refuse to work.

| The Democrats now represent 58% of the wealthiest third of congressional districts in the country. What we may be coming to is a Republican party that in many ways resembles the Democrats of sixty years ago: Hawkish on defense, socially conservative, fiscally populist. The Democrats would look much like the pre-Goldwater Republican party: Isolationist and/or dovish, socially liberal, and fiscally “progressive.” |

Please forgive me for posting twice on the subject of the religion of the candidates. I had to look up something in our US Constitution.
| Quote: |
Article. VI…The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but
no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. |

I agree with the part YourPonyDied wrote in the comment above. "Sadly a persons' religious views are considered more important than issues, hence many wont vote huckabee since he was a former baptist minister and wont vote romney for his mormon backgrounds"
Now for another plug for my choice for President in 2008

| With Huckabee there is even a tinge of greatness. There are few socially conservative candidates who can explain their views in a way that does not frighten or offend moderate voters. Huckabee can. He is easily the most gifted socially conservative communicator the GOP has had since Reagan. His affable charm connects with voters…This is the same charm that allowed him to become the first Republican Lieutenant Governor of Arkansas, and later win re-election as governor by twenty points in a state that is still deeply blue at the local level. In a year where being a Washington insider is likely to be a negative, Hucakbee represents the epitome of “outsider.”… While his quasi-populist stands on economic issues have been somewhat unfairly portrayed, he talks about “the rich” and greed more than your average Republican candidate. |
