« Hewitt on Romney | Main | Lores takes on McCain Campaign Rep »

Super Tuesday

Quite honestly, I'm not sure what to say except that it is obvious that the Republican party is in a struggle to find its identity, its very soul. We essentially have a three-way race with Huckabee appearing in collusion with Mc Cain to bump Romney out of the race. You can't help but wonder whether Huckabee has been promised a Vice Presidency in order to stay in the race.

Meanwhile, it's very obvious that the South has an issue with voting for a Morman. This is not a sad day for Romney as much as it is a sad commentary on various parts of our country!

Sorry, but here is one of those rare times when I find myself disagreeing with Lores Rizkalla.

For one thing, I really do not think that Romney's Mormonism is nearly as important as people are making it out to be. It is very hard to take his alleged religious allegiance seriously, when he only came out against abortion when it suited him politically. Any human being who is truly moral would know from the time they are very young that most abortions are murder.

But I only disagree with Lores on the religious issue half way. See, I think Mike Huckabee's more traditional brand of Christianity helps him a great deal. In other words, it is not Romney's Mormonism that hurts Romney, as much as it is Huckabee's fundamentalist Christianity that helps Huckabee. So maybe my differences with Lores on this are merely semantic.

Furthermore, while of course I must agree with Lores that the Republicans are struggling for their very soul of what it means to be a Republican, I just wish that the conservative purists would wrestle with this AFTER the Presidential elections are over. Now is not the time for being divided. Conservative purists who refuse to vote for John McCain, or even actively support hitlery rotten clinton, are basically putting their own hurt ego ahead of the safety and security of Americans and free people everywhere.

Our country can NOT afford to have hillary in office for even one day, let alone four years or eight years. Our country would simply go down the drain. Just think of how she would raise taxes, turn this country into a totalitarian, socialist state, be lukewarm at best on our war against our islamofascist enemies, abandon Israel, appoint abortion loving Supreme Court Justices, and...need I go on?

We are living in a world terrorized by the unleashing of islamofascism. Well, guess who is most responsible for this? It can all be traced back to Dhimmi Carter's four years in office. If we go through that again, this country is finished.

I do not think it makes sense to say that it is still a three-man race. Although the game is not over until the fat lady sings, it is pretty obvious that John McCain is going to be the Republican nominee for President.

With each passing day, Mitt Romney supporters sound more and more like Ron Paul supporters...in other words, on the fringe that is going nowhere.

Mike Huckabee's case is different, because he is really campaigning for the Vice Presidency. Unlike Mitt Romney, his ego does not make him want to win at all costs. Romney staying in the race looks more and more foolish to anybody whose mind has not been poisoned by the I Hate McCain disease.

A McCain-Huckabee ticket, supported by ALL Republicans uniting together, would be an unbeatable combination.

Once we get past the emotions, I believe we will close ranks and support John McCain. And John McCain will have to do the smart thing and be against illegal immigration.

Don't let Hillary Clinton nominate any Supreme Court justices. We may never live it down.

Mitch Williams, thank you for being such a source of reason in here. I often feel frustrated in here, feeling all alone in my beliefs. I think that Lores usually agrees with me, but may be under pressure from certain colleagues of hers to be less moderate than she really is.

As for the conservative purists in here, they probably have good intentions, and care about America, but I do think that they are wasting their passions and energy on an issue that is better left to be discussed AFTER the elections are over. First we have to make sure to keep the White House; only after that should we then pressure President John McCain about the borders issue.
