With the flood of moderate Republicans jumping into the presidential race, splitting the vote may be the best chance conservatives have of getting a suitable candidate into the election. It makes me wretch when I see the frontrunners listed as Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Chris Christie, etc. This country is truly sick if we end up with a Jeb Bush - Hillary Clinton election. I never want to see another Clinton or Bush on a presidential ballot again. My hope is that someone like Gov. Scott Walker emerges as a lone candidate that conservatives rally around, while RINO Republicans split their vote with Bush, Romney, Christie, etc. I've always been a good little soldier when it comes to voting for the Republican nominee for president, even when I didn't care for them. I've reached a point where if the GOP throws up another moderate candidate- I'll still go to the polls and vote, but I'll either leave the presidential selection blank or go with a 3rd party candidate.
On a side note, you mentioned Mike Huckleberry. Why is that clown even getting into the race? What a waste of time and money. Has he ever heard of Willie Horton and what that did to Michael Dukakis' presidential run? Dukakis supported a policy that allowed Willie Horton serving a life sentence to get a weekend furlough- then Horton goes out and rapes a woman. It was a big part of his campaign getting shot down in flames. What did Huckleberry as governor do? Reduced Maurice Clemmons 100+ year prison sentence down to 47 years making him immediately eligible for parole. So in 2009 in Washington state Clemmons guns down four law enforcement officers in cold blood. And Huckleberry thinks with that on his record he can get elected president? How stupid is he?
