Dobdon: Huckabee is the Only "Pro-Family" Candidate Left In Race
 

James Dobson, one of the country's most prominent evangelical leaders, endorsed Mike Huckabee in a statement released last night, saying he could not "in good conscience" cast a vote for Sen. John McCain.

Dobson explained how he came to the decision; Huckabee, a former pastor who became governor of Arkansas with strong "pro-family" bona fides, is the only other person left in the race.

We guess Dobson doesn't have the same sort of strategy and communicaitions people he once had working for him; this reads less like an statement of support and more like a memo on the state of the race.

Not exactly a resounding endorsement, but certainly Huck appreciates it nonetheless.

As a retailer, your wholesale price should go down roughly .22
percent from what you are paying now..This may not seem like enough
revenue, but the retailer is projected to sell more goods or
services..This plan is revenue neutral and will strengthen Social
Security.. Nobody will have the right to complain about this
economy anymore, if Mike Huckabee does NOT get nominated..America
take some time to read the FAIR TAX book and also the NEW FAIR TAX
book coming out next week 02/11/2008..THE TRUTH..Also, go to
FAIRTAX*** for more information.. There is only one candidate that
had the COURAGE to support this program..His name is "MIKE
HUCKABEE"!! Check this video out..It's even Sean Hannity
approved!!!! ***:***youtube***/watch?v=di2em2S25qM Also BLOG
with your comments at mike huckabee*** and see that we are a VERY BIG
gr*** roots movement...We would appreciate your help as well..

Under the "FAIR TAX" you get your ENTIRE GROSS PAY with NO
deductions.. Everybody gets a PREBATE CHECK based on the amount of
dependents in your household..A family of 4 gets $500.00 every
month..A single person get $195.00..If you draw a Social Security
Check now, you'll get the PREBATE CHECK as well. As a consumer
"The FAIR TAX" will keep retail prices close to what they are now.
The .23% federal tax is imbedded within the price of only NEW
items..USED items are NOT taxed at all..Sorta like when we buy
gasoline at the pump, the fed tax is imbedded or as some would say,
included in the retail price..When we buy "NEW items only" the
retailer has to send the imbedded .23% consumption tax to the federal
government..

lil mike - it can't be a 50/50 chance if McCain has more than 50% of
the support.


Posted by lil mike on 2/8/2008 12:02:07 PM
Melodie - Huckabee isn't out! He's got a 50-50 chance of winning.


Posted by Thomas on 2/8/2008 12:01:44 PM
He wants a faith-based constitution. But with which faith? There are
more than evangelical Christians living in America you know!


Posted by Melodie on 2/8/2008 12:00:17 PM
Huckabee is basically out. No one sees him as a viable candidate
other than his Rangers.


Posted by sasha on 2/8/2008 12:00:02 PM
Thomas - that's a mis-quote and you know it. He was talking about
principles, not actual religion. What it should be OK to kill people?


Posted by Thomas on 2/8/2008 11:58:47 AM
Mara - Mike wants to rewrite the constitution to align closer to the
Bible. I'd hardly say that's liberal!


Posted by RepubliKING on 2/8/2008 11:58:39 AM
I think a lot of republican's will actually vote for Hillary - she
truly is more conservative than Obama, Huckabee or McCain.


Posted by on 2/8/2008 11:57:56 AM
Huckabee doesn't stand a chance in the general election and the
republican part knows that - that's why they are slowly starting to
rally behind McCain. Huckabee can get all of the endorsements he
wants from the evangelic base, but it won't help.


Posted by Republicans for Hillary on 2/8/2008 11:56:47 AM
ECONOMY: Clinton = balanced budget. IMMIGRATION: Clinton is against
drivers licenses for illegals, Obama is for them and Mike gives their
kids free health care. HEALTH CARE: Hillary's plan is actually THE
REPUBLICAN plan from the 90's. WAR: Obama is clueless, Mike is too,
that's why all the right wingers on radio are endorsing Hillary - SHE
IS THE TRUE CONSERVATIVE CHOICE!


Posted by Donald on 2/8/2008 11:55:17 AM
Who is Dobson anyway and why does he matter? If I never heard of him
his influence must not be that strong.


Posted by Mister on 2/8/2008 11:54:32 AM
Huck won't do well. He is too evangelical to appeal to the m***es.


Posted by Maverick on 2/8/2008 11:53:10 AM
A lot of middle of the road Democrats still go to Church, and Mike
reminds them of their preacher - I think he might do well with them.


Posted by Jimmy on 2/8/2008 11:52:22 AM
The four big issues in this race are illegal immigration, Economy,
Health Care and War in Iraq. We need someone who can make sensible
decisions about those issues.


Posted by sampson on 2/8/2008 11:52:19 AM
Even Dobson barely wants to endorse this guy - he knows it's a lost
cause.


Posted by Mara on 2/8/2008 11:51:20 AM
Huckabee is a tax and spend liberal - sure he's anti gay marriage and
anti abortion, but other than that, he's a liberal.


Posted by Ken on 2/8/2008 11:50:08 AM
Obama was the most liberal member of the Senate and Hillary was the
16th most liberal. There is no way Mike Hucakbee is more liberal than
Hillary.


Posted by lil mike on 2/8/2008 11:48:54 AM
I've been to one of his rallies and he is a sincere man who did a
great job as Governor. He'll make a fine President.


Posted by Mara on 2/8/2008 11:47:42 AM
Mike is the most liberal person in this race, besides Obama.
