RE: Election

I have read 2 blogs that best sum up my feelings about this election...

Candice's blog

and one that Mike Huckebee (who was my choice for President all along) posted on his myspace:

We Will Be Back in Strength

by Mike Huckabee

I'm very proud to have supported Senator McCain and the only regret is that more Americans didn't share my conviction that he would have made an outstanding President. I not only recognize, but respect that we are a nation in which the people choose and tonight they have chosen Senator Obama. He was not my choice, but he will be my President and I will pray for him to lead this great nation with God's help and grace. He will face serious challenges to lead our country and he will need all Americans to give him a chance.

The campaign is over and now is the time for governing and leading. The Republican Party must now reassess where it is and where it is going. Our problem is not that our views aren't acceptable, it is that many in our party have abandoned the very principles that once drew Americans to trust us. Our party will be back with strength, but tonight we should all celebrate the historic nature of this election and put our country ahead of our party.

As disappointed as I am that we have lost the election, I can't help but feel that many courageous leaders of the civil rights movement look down from heaven tonight with a smile that the day has come when a man is elected without regard to his color. I salute President-elect Obama for his discipline and tenacity that has given our country the opportunity to witness this significant event.

Politics is not an event but a process. We sometimes lose the events but it never gives us the right to stop being faithful to our principles that enlisted us in the process. We shall live to fight another day.

In short - like him or not, Obama will be our President for the next 4 years. I feel as an American, our country should unite as one and support our leader. Division will only make us weaker.... and that is just what the enemy is hoping for.

Match-O-Matic

In case you haven't heard - there is a presidential election coming up soon...

A little test created by ABC news helps you to find out who you most agree with...

See if it is who you thought ... Match-O-Matic

Too bad it didn't include Huckabee... I really like Palin - but still believe that McCain messed up when he didn't ask Huck to be his running mate... one step back - the Republican party messed up when we didn't choose Huck as our man!!!

Voting for President

Every time I have voted for president in the past - I remember thinking who is the lesser of 2 evils?? (well, I kinda liked Bush- he is from Texas afterall) .... but this year one candidate stands out waaaaayyyyy above the others for me... For the first time I am anxious to vote and to spread the word about a candidate. This year - my vote goes for Mike Huckabee. Here's just one of the issues/reasons why:

Mike Huckabee supports the only logical repair to our broken tax code - "The Fairtax" ( www.Fairtax.org ) The Fairtax bill ( H.R. 25 / S 1025 ) has more co-sponsors in congress than ANY other bill!!

So what's the big deal with this "Fairtax"?"The Fairtax" ( basically a national retail sales tax on NEW purchases only ) would not only replace the funds needed to run our government and it's programs including Social Security, but would also bring back the factories and businesses that left our shores because of the IRS!

The Fairtax has MILLIONS of supporters around the country. Most people who discover the simple details of how it works, want it!

Mike Huckabee = NO more IRS!

John McCain = keep the IRS
Rudy Giuliani = keep the IRS
Mitt Romney = keep the IRS
Fred Thompson = keep the IRS
Hilary Clinton = keep the IRS
Barrack Obama = keep the IRS
John Edwards = keep the IRS

WHY??
Because the IRS provides "the good ol' boys" of Washington a leveraging tool that they use every year to fund favors for friends / hobbies / special deductions / hidden agendas etc.. They do NOT want the Fairtax!

Please take a closer look at Mike Huckabee!!
