I just voted. On my drive home I turned on Sean Hannity to hear first hand what all of the McCain bashing news was about. My polling place is only a mile away so I only got a few minutes of Mr Hannity to my surprise he was NOT bashing Senator McCain, he was bashing Governor Huckabee. Apparently, according to Mr Hannity, Governor Huckabee has been involved in some vote suppression (who knows what he means by this - read on) targeted against Governor Romney. You see, Romeny is the true conservative in the race and Huckabee is too liberal for what Hannity defines as the Republican party. Therefore, Huckabee and McCain have conspired against all conservatives in this primary...
HUH?
I was confused. How could these so called 'experts' and
self appointed mouthpieces of the Republican party - my party - say that a Baptist minister is too liberal? How are they getting around the facts?
Here are some of the highly conservative views held by Governor Huckabee that I find far too right wing for my tastes:
1. Support for Constitutional amendments outlawing abortion and gay marriage
2. Belief in Creationism - only. end of story. No primates involved.
3. First Governor in the country to have a concealed handgun license.
4. Consistently opposed banning assault weapons and opposed the Brady Bill.
5. Opposes research on embryonic stem cells
These views are too liberal for:
- Rush Limbaugh
- Ann Coulter
- Sean Hannitiy
and other highly paid lobbyists - ooops, I mean talk show hosts. I'm NOT a listener so I don't want to misquote anyone. These three I've personally heard say that Huckabee is too liberal.
No wonder they say McCain is Liberal. It must be the label they through around for anyone that threatens their pocketbooks. Kind of like when the ultra leftist call anyone to the right of them a fascist.
Let's stop the name calling.
