Not Huckabee, Not Romney, Giuliani, or McCain

by Erik on July 8, 2010

With two years until the next presidential election, several of the Republican candidates from the 2008 election cycle are trying to posture themselves for another run at the GOP nomination.  To be blunt, none of the major players from the last election should be anywhere near the 2012 nomination.  They have too many skeletons and too little backbone.

Huckabee is a committed social conservative.  From what I have seen, he is devoutly religious, and often shares his views about faith. Huckabee seems like a nice guy, a good neighbor.  But America is not craving a social conservative.  We don’t need a “feel-good,” “compassionate,” president, we need someone willing to take radical liberals like Pelosi head-on. We need a fiscal conservative willing to slash the runaway entitlement spending built up by Congressional Democrats.  Huckabee may be the most moral presidential candidate in recent history, but I struggle to imagine him rolling back liberal regression.

by Erik on June 22, 2010

While oil flows into the gulf, Democrats have seized the opportunity to attack Republicans over Rep. Joe Barton’s so-called “gaffe” with a series of new attack ads.  They ask Republicans to “stop apologizing to Big Oil.”

Rep. Barton, A Marked Man

by Erik on June 18, 2010

First, here are the comments that have so enraged the left.  Barton has the audacity to point out that BP is responsible for the damages it has caused, but those damages should be determined by a court of law, not procured by an administrative shakedown and placed in a slush-fund.
