I watched the debate tonight and hoped that Giuliani would break away from the pack. However, instead of him performing at his best, I saw him act like a bully. He may lovable to some, but he is not logical at all. He may have the majority vote in some polls, but the majority is not always right. In history we can see this. Hitler had the majority vote at one point, while Martin Luther King was fighting for the minorities. The majority vote does not make anyone man right regardless of there political party. I’m sorry Rudy Giuliani, but I can not give you my vote. I’m must vote for one who not only compassionate and consistent but also for one who is correct. This is why I am voting for Mike Huckabee: It is not because he is religious It is not because he is republican It is simple because he is RIGHT! Faith, Family, Freedom…FOVEVER!!!

This is why I am voting for Mike Huckabee:

It is not because he is religious
It is not because he is republican
It is simple because he is RIGHT!

Faith, Family, Freedom…FOVEVER!!!

What, you don’t buy Novak’s criticism of Huckabee as a fake conservative? Oh, come on, why not?!

Gore taught us (beyond how easy it is to steal an election), it's that every single vote counts. I keep this in mind any time my own stomach wavers at the thought of putting a corporatist Repub-lite like Hillary in office....because as bad as she could potentially be, she isn't nearly the threat that a rapacious fascist like Ghouliani or a crazy fundie theocrat like Huckabee is. If it's bad vs. evil, bad wins every time. If there’s one thing Bush v. Gore taught us (beyond how easy it is to steal an election), it’s that every single vote counts.

I learned my lesson in 2000. Pulling the lever for Nader gave us eight years of the worst Presidency in modern history, if not the whole of American history. I'd vote for every single Dem running, all the way down to Mike Gravel, and then MAYBE Ron Paul, before I pulled the lever for Ghouliani or Huckabee or one of those clowns.

You can even tell me that if I don't vote for her it will be like voting for Nader instead of Gore in 2000 (which I did). The head knows the Republicans need to be stopped at whatever cost. Yet my hand won't obey and flip the lever for her in the voting booth (yes, they still have them in my district). They gotta find somebody who doesn't trigger the gag reflex in so many of us.
