Open your eyes: Huckabee people are on our side...

[Jeremy]

I'm not switching parties... most people here don't plan to. But I will still support the Libertarian and Constitution parties if I have to... whoever has the real conservatives in it. Although, there are still some in both parties that aren't Conservatives.... just like the GOP (except the GOP has very few at this point...).

I know, they banned me too. After one post I had "disruptive behavior."

LOL I dont feel so bad then. I got banned after one post, and all I did was congratulate them on the success of their money bomb, where they raised almost 97K in one day!

There are so many misconceptions about RP that the Huxters have. Thing is, you get banned before you can have a chance to explain to them that not only are they wrong, but WHY they are wrong.

For example. Abortion. They dont think that RP is truly pro-life, as much as the Huxter is. Now try to tell them that RP has delivered over 4,000 babies, and never performed a single abortion. He also has proposed an amendment to the Constitution to make abortions illegal. He has done more to champion the pro-life movement, then ALL the other candidates (both sides) combined. But youll never be able to get the Huxters people to understand this, because from what I have seen they are so blind to anything that is Huxter, they just refuse to be bothered.
You cant get them to listen to reason.

I will switch between different parties. I don't have any loyalties to any party...well, I do feel a closeness with the LP. But I would ditch them if they were to nominate a guy like McCain ha

I wasn't talking about you at all. Were your ears burning? I was merely suggesting how he might defend himself in a herd of cats. And though you might not have been smiling, you made your point with a very deft use of irony--which is definintely a tool humorists have been known to use. And with all due respect to our guest, you'll note I didn't disagree with you.

I like many Huckabee supporters, but I never really trusted the guy. Sorry if that offends anyone.

No burning ears here. You just used my post as an example of what you were talking about. I guess you didn't care much for the post opening quote either. Choosing to focus on the gag throw off line, completely misses the whole point ( on purpose ????? )

As for write ins - is this doable at a large degree? I am aware the RP'ers have been very successful in obtaining delegate positions in the party. Way to go. I and most of my friends are also delegates. What is the strategy? most states have strict rules in place to bind us to the vote. I'm not trying to be naive here - but if you have a tactic that can be discussed, id like to know.

the write in thing is only going to be possible where the electronic vote stealing machines are not being used.

As for delegates and strategy, its pretty simple. We are attempting to get as many delegate positions as we can muster. As delegates you get to set the rules for the party, such as un-binding delegates for McInsane. Also setting the party platform, and forcing the GOP to revert to a more conservative platform, and backing the actual Constitution. We are gaining alot of delegates at the local levels, the national delegates are the real prize. Despite what the MSM says, McInsane does not have the required number of delegates to secure the nomination. This is why he is still labeled as the "presumptive nominee". He could only be called the nominee at this point, if RP withdrew from the race. After the first vote goes thru at the convention, and McInsane fails to secure the required number of 1191, then it will go to other round of voting. After that first round of votes fail, MOST of the remaining bound delegate will become unbound. This is where we can pick up additional, and with any luck, enough delegates for RP to secure the nomination. Hopefully it will be like it was for Abe Lincoln all over again.

At any rate, I would also like to say that Im a bit leary of this F3 Coalition thing you are promoting in your sig. After visiting it, and the Huckarmy forums, it seems to me to be nothing more then an extension of Hucksarmy. Same lame phpbb forums and look, and all the forum sections have the same tone to them as Hucksarmy. It is heavily promoted by most of the members over there, from what I could see. For me, this is a huge red flag. We have already had to deal with a great many trolls here, as well as moles. Im hoping Im wrong, and that you are not like that, but I still have to wave a flag of caution. That site looks VERY suspicious...

F3 was founded by the creators of Huck's Army, but it supports conservatives, not just Huckabee people.

I like the opening post of this thread, I like working with Huckabee people though I do try to avoid stepping on their toes because it has been my experienced they don't tend to be as thick-skinned as we tend to be, I find a sense of humor is always handy in helping different people work toward a common goal. Don't know what else to say about it.

Yep, just as I thought, didn't get it.<IMHO>

I love that quote. It perfectly reinforces the point I made earlier. Wish I'd thought of it. Is it yours? If so, kudos!

P.S. I didn't want the guest to get insulted that we wouldn't think Huckabee would necessarily agree with it, or that we wouldn't be certain that Huckabee would get it. Nonetheless, that's a fine quote.

RE: Your Huckabee guest getting insulted.
To paraphrase Harry Truman, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the forum".

Did you ever happen to see "Braveheart"?

Yeah--don't tell me it was in there and I missed it! Actually, my mother swears that we are descended from the guy!

No, I was referring to the part where the Scottish nobles were negotiating with the Brits army commanders on the battlefield ( in Scotland ), and Bill joined in.

Gotta love it.<IMHO>

Understandable - put it this way - I am no longer an admin at HucksArmy. I was bringing up too much info on one of the founders that is not being forthright with the organization. Me and about 7 others that were in leadership have stopped being active and some have completely deleted their accounts (you can find them by browsing the HA forums - you will see the posts by people with no profiles - those are the ones that were self-deleted).

The race for Huckabee is over. Im not sure when all the followers will follow suit. Mike has asked them to help other candidates.

F3 is independent and not tied to a candidate, but rather the principles that he ran on - Faith, Family, and Freedom. Ron Paul supporters are welcome and needed to make this successful.

Not sure why you would be leary, but to each his own.

I do know what an Obama or Clinton presidency will look like for the SCOTUS appointments and my conscience can not allow for that.

Pro-Life Huck supporters have to realize that this is a failed strategy. Every four years the same arguments are made and every four years another 6 million of our younger brothers and sisters are butchered.

I am sick and tired of watching these NeoCons reperforming the 'Supreme Court Shuffle' year after year, decade after decade... ad infinitum... (where is my smiley face that barfs/hurls)

Just like people concerned with the 2nd amendment should drop the NRA and pick up Gun Owners of America... Pro-Lifers need to drop the NRL (National Right to Life) and pick up ALL; Life Dynamics; 100% Pro-Life PAC; Human Life International; STOPP etc

Lastly look at Ron's web site on life issues: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/life-and-liberty/

We can and will overturn Roe vs Wade by getting the congress and/or the president to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the supreme court. If the Republicans, who are now in congress, were serious they would have passed Dr. Paul's legislation.

A vote for McCain is saying "ahhhh... what's another 6-12 million through the meat grinder" (and you'll try to console yourself 4-8 years later saying... "at least we didn't get OBama or Clinton)... I need my 'barf smiley'

And I'd love to work with Huckabee supporters... but I think they'd be much easier to work with if they understood Huck was a tool, media creation... aimed at them to keep them from our man. Divide a nd conquer... you have to give our enemies credit... they see the fight more clearly than we do, most of the time

I agree. He is backing fascist McCain, so what does that say about him?

 

[bpassmore]

I know Mike personally - you are not describing Mike Huckabee. You might perceive that to be him, but you are indeed wrong. Im sure ill get flamed for posting this, but it needs to be said.

Mike isn't perfect. he had some great ideas and some not so good ones.

Please dont make blanket statements like that.

Im just proposing that we work together for the good of the nation.

 

[DeadtoSin]

Brett, please don't take anything harsh they say to heart. Most people here mean well, but they've been jaded by a lot of people in government..

+1.

Can we try to work together for the greater good, kids?

Tell the Huckabee supporters there's a Revolution March in July and to please join us!
