Kansas Republican voters have followed my advice and, instead of holding their noses and voting for Arizona RINO Senator John McCain, have instead opted to "Huckchuck for Huckabee".
The media of course downplays the importance of this, noting that Kansas is a state with a lot of fundamentalist Bible believing Christians.
Ahhhhh, but what they conveniently forgot to mention is that Kansas is also a state that went blue in the last election cycle by voting out a good many of the rascals who sought to impose fundamentalist "creationist" doctrines on the school system of Kansas. Kansas, a state with a popular Democratic governor, Kathryn Sibelius, who gave the "Democratic response" to President George W. Bush's state of the Union address.
Now, to be sure, the average Kansas citizen will not be likely to join me soon in a drunken revelry in honor of Dionysius, nor are they any time soon going to encourage their wives, girlfriends, and daughters to become temple prostitutes in the service of Aphrodite.
Be that as it may, though Kansas is definitely a Christian state, it would be more than simplistic to overlook the primary there, where Huckabee won an astounding, at last count, 60% of the Republican vote.
Republicans now have a clear choice between two viable candidates, and though Huckabee is far behind McCain in delegate count, and though he is certainly not a favorite alternative among the majority of conservatives, the fact that he did so well in Kansas, in the face of what seems to be on the surface the certainty of an eventual McCain nomination, indicates they are making their greater displeasure at McCain known, loud and clear.
Do not count the Arkansas governor out just yet. He addressed the CPAC conference today, and declared he would remain in the race to provide an alternative. He also pointed out that, despite the odds that seemed stacked against him in regards to McCain's far greater delegate count, that he did not major in math, he majored in miracles. Huckabee still, he asserted, believes in miracles.
Well, I can't honestly say I believe in miracles. I do, however, believe in justice. You should believe in it too, and when it comes time to vote in your own Republican primary, those of you whose primaries are yet to come, you should deliver justice in the form of a vote for Mike Huckabee.
After all, a failure to vote for a lesser of two evils is a denial of the problem. Holding your nose with a vote for McCain is just a temporary band-aid solution to the problem, maybe even a willful surrender to it.
A Huckchuck for Huckabee, on the other hand, might well be cathartic. Just think of how much better you feel, when you are nauseous, after you finally vomit and get it out of your system. See there now?
Teach them a lesson-
HUCKCHUCK FOR HUCKABEE!

Kansas is the state Obama thinks was hit with a tornado that killed 12 times as many people as the September 11th attacks last year.
I was wrong.
Obama thinks 10,000 Democrats were killed in the Kansas tornado, because Dems there get to vote 834 times per election.

Sounds to me like yet another reason to-
Huckchuck For Huckabee!
Loli would rather UPCHUCK ,. then vote for Huckabee.. Im not fond of his wanting to rewrite our Constitution into some kind of Christian Manifesto..And its rumored that Obama wants Sibelius as his VP running mate.. Thats why im voting for Hillary..I just dont trust Obama
Shadowhawk-
Since I am for the time being still a registered Democrat, I'll vote for Hillary in the primary, especially since Obama was endorsed by Ted Kennedy. Whatever narrow chance there was I would vote for Obama, with that endorsement went careening off the side into the dark and murky waters of political cynicism, where it quickly died from lack of the oxygen of quickly fading "hope".
In the GE, I was planning on voting for whoever the Republican candidate was, but since it looks like it's going to be McCain, I just don't know if I can go that route. So I might just not vote for President.
It's just as well. Any more, all the hell you get out of voting in these phony elections is the possibility of jury duty.
I wouldn't worry about Huckabee and his "Christian Manifesto" if I were you. It takes two thirds of the states to sign on to something like that, he can't just do it on his say so. Even him and Congress working in tandem couldn't do that.
However, what would increase the odds of something like that happening would be a series of judicial appointments by a Democratic President of left-leaning judges, especially on the Supreme Court, consisting of judges that would overturn any law, no matter how moderately written, wanted by conservatives, while upholding any law, no matter how extreme, enacted by liberals.
That's usually the kind of situation that creates the backlash necessary for a constitutional amendment.
Constitutional amendments are generally born of a need to redress a serious grievance.
There is no such grievance that would justify a large segment of states supporting a so-called "marriage amendment". Nor can I see any law that might potentially cause such a major backlash. A national law legalizing gay marriage, even though I personally would be in favor of such a law, is not going to happen under any kind of reasonable scenario.
Now, a constitutional amendment to demand an end to illegal immigration and the securing of our borders, an end to "free trade", and a guarantee of the rights of citizens to bear arms-those are constitutional amendments I can support, and are the ones that you are far more likely to see over time and any so-called marriage amendment or even a "sanctity of life" amendment that would out abortions.
What I would really like to see is a constitutional amendment outlawing all political parties, but that's another subject for another time.
to overlook the primary there, where Huckabee won an astounding, at last count, 60% of the Republican vote.
It wasn't a primary. Those were caucuses, where only 11,627 people voted for Huckabee.
Caucuses favor extremist candidates, because only hard-line party activists attend them.
So far, Huckabee hasn't won a single PRIMARY north of Nashville and west of Little Rock. His support is concentrated in the Deep South (and even there McCain won South Carolina)...
Ah, Sonia, but you forget, Huckabee came in a fairly close second, and probably would have won if Thompson and Romney weren't there siphoning votes away from him. Now, the only person he has to aiphon votes away from him is Ron Paul, so he might well run the table after the Virginia primary. Who knows, he might even win that one.
Regardless, your man McCain has got some rough times ahead, whether he ultimately wins the nomination or not.
Even a lot of Republicans that might ultimately hold their noses and vote for him aren't going to be motivated to go out and work for him.
So dere.
You'll be happy with President McCain.
As for Huckabee, God bless him, but I found Jesus without a federal program.
If there is a President McCain, I will probably on balance be a hell of a lot happier with him than you will be by the time his first term is over.
President McCain's federal programs will probably revolve around making sure Navajo and other American Indians have pleasant accommodations by the nearest nuclear waste site.
Evidently, since he decided not too long ago he has been a secret member of the Baptist Church all these years that he inadvertently attended the services of a different denomination, I am satisfied his religious views are all-inclusive.
