Will you follow Huckabee’s lead and support McCain?
Huckabee has officially dropped out of the race along with giving McCain his endorsement. The question now remains, will his supporters follow suit and support McCain? I’m not going to lie, I was a supporter for Huckabee and I really don’t like McCain to much. However, is McCain really that bad when compared to Hillary or Barack? I really don’t think so.
If you part of the massive evangelical support Huckabee had, I’m guessing that the reason you supported him was partly for his views on abortion of gay marriage. McCain at least gives lip service if not supports the same ideas as Huckabee in this area. You can’t even say anything like that for either Barack or Hillary. I mean, would you really want to support someone who receives 0%’s from the National Right to Life Committee and 100%’s from NARAL Pro-Choice America? Both Barack and Hillary received those scores. At least McCain got a 75% from the National Right to Life Committee and a 0% fom the NARAL Pro-Choice America groups.
Another thing to keep in mind is that McCain at least has a military background so he should have the qualifications to help us out with out national defense and the situation in Iraq. That is way more than what you can say for either Hillary or Barack.
Also, please don’t vote for an independent like Nader or someone like Paul (if he decides to run third party). That would really just waste your vote. You can talk all you want about not wanting to be confined to choose between two candidates and that it is your right to freely express yourself, but the reality is if you supported Huckabee and vote for anyone else other than McCain this November, you are helping either Barack or Hillary into office. Don’t do that. If you feel the need to vote for someone else other than McCain, drive to one of the states that hasn’t had their primary and vote for Hillary to get it out of your system.
Therefore my message is this: We all might not be too happy with who the Republican’s choice is for nominee but it sure is better than the Democratic alternatives.
So come November, as much as I might cringe when I do it, McCain’s name will be marked on my ballot as my choice for the next President of the United States.
