Sorry for the delay, worrisome developments

Hey all, please forgive the lack of posting recently. Between the anniversary of my mother's death, some new health problems and other things going on, I just didn't find the time to post. I will attempt to do better in future. 'Nuff said on that, let's get down to it.

I'm noticing a disturbing trend in "conservative" circles and I feel the need to address it now, before it becomes more than a trend and gets foisted on us all as policy.

Anyone who paid attention to the primary races in 2008 and the campaigning in 2007 should know by now that former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is NOT the candidate conservatives need in 2012.

Recently, as I listen and read chatter by so-called conservatives and republicans, I'm seeing a lot of discussion about how great Huckabee is and how he's setting up to be THE candidate in 2012. Sorry folks. The man to pull this party outta the shitter, Huckabee AIN'T.

Look. The reason we got stuck with John McCain was this ridiculous notion that conservatives need to be LESS conservative to convince independents to join our cause. The last nine months should have shown us all that LESS conservatism is the last thing this party needs.

Huckabee is wrong on many issues and is, in my opinion, as big a RINO as McCain ever was.

The people of this country are not rising up to protest at tea parties, rallies and town halls because they feel the U.S. is being pushed to the right. The people are angry because BO Boy and the Chicago Thug Crew are shoving this country so far left we're going to play hell straightening things out for decades.

The elections of 2010 and 2012 are setting up to be some of the most important elections in the history of this country. If America is to remain the United States of America and not some giant outpost of the European/Russian Union, conservatives MUST stand up and put forth candidates that stand with freedom, independence and strength.

We CANNOT put forth candidates who are worried about reaching across the aisle, making friends and appeasing our enemies so they won't hate us anymore.

The only candidates who will be successful are those who are willing to tell it like it is, whether it pisses off the liberals and/or offends BO Boy and the Chicago Thug Crew or not. The candidate who is going to be able to win against the liberal media and all those who will sling mud, lie, cheat and even steal to keep said candidate from winning is a candidate who is STRONG in his/her conservative beliefs.

Half-assed candidates will get us nothing. And while I'm sure Mr. Huckabee is a great guy with great intentions, he is NOT the man we need to win.

At this point, I'm not sure WHO we need to put forward. I've always been a Palin fan, but, to be honest, I'm just not sure she can overcome the vitriolic hatred/lies/jealousy from the right, much less the shit-slinging that's been lobbed at her from the left.

I beg my fellow conservatives from the bottom of my cranky old heart: STOP with the Huckabee cheerleading. Please do not saddle us with a lackluster candidate again. Let's focus on 2010 and get Congress back. Then let's take a look at who has the REAL conservative cojones to do the job.
