PLEASE READ THIS:

The American Family Association has released an excellent voter''s guide that you should read carefully before you vote in the Super Tuesday primaries. I have included a link to the guide, so in this article I will only summarize some of the most important information.

In this guide the American Family Association lists eight issues on which the answer of any real Conservative should be a resounding "Yes!" Not surprisingly, none of the three Democrat candidates answered yes to a single one. I was surprised to find that only one Republican candidate had a perfect record. Mike Huckabee was for each of these important issues. More important, he has always been in favor of them. Not one of these was a new position for him.

Some of the issues are proposed legislation; some are proposed Constitutional amendments; some are simply moral positions, such as the refusal to participate in "Gay Pride" celebrations. (Both Romney and Giuliani have participated in these disgusting events "celebrating" homosexuality.)

The first test is whether a candidate supports a national Human Life Amendment. All the candidates claim to be pro-life, but only Mike Huckabee passed this test.

Here is the link to the chart:

If you want a true conservative candidate who HAS NOT flip flopped on the issues and become a recent "convert" to conservatism like Mitt Romney, then Mike Huckabee is your man!

b if that surge has to come from our Guard and Reserve troops, which have really been overly stretched /b

He states that he would not support a surge that primarily pulls from the National Guard and reserve.
...Get some fresh troops in there!

The former Arkansas governor earned his Huckster nickname as well as a great YouTube moment of shame when he challenged Romney%u2019s support of the troop surge during ABC%u2019s New Hampshire debate.

During the debate he attacked Romney with this boldfaced lie: %u201CI supported the surge and you didn%u2019t.%u201D

The YouTube clip shows exactly how dishonest Huckabee is. Two weeks after Romney had issued a January 2007 press release supporting the surge; the Huckster does an interview deliberately distinguishing himself from other candidates by withholding support for the surge.

In the Jan. 24, 2007 interview on MSNBC%u2019s %u201CLive,%u201D Norah O%u2019Donnell asks:

%u201CWe have a Rudy Giuliani, who supports the president%u2019s plan on Iraq. We have Governor Mitt Romney, who also supports a troop surge. How are you different from any of those candidates?%u201D

Huckabee: %u201CWell, I%u2019m not sure that I support the troop surge, if that surge has to come from our Guard and Reserve troops, which have really been overly stretched.%u201D

Why doesn''t Huckabee ever criticize McCain? If Romney dropped out, what would Huckabee do to take down McCain? Right now he acts like McCain''s puppy dog.

How can you say that voting for Romney would help conservatism? Anyone who looks at his record knows he''s not conservative.

I think it''s hilarious that the conservative talk show hosts (Rush, Ann, Laura, Hugh Hewitt) are saying that Huckabee should drop out of the race because he will take votes away from Romney. Yet, for the past 3 months they''ve been complaining that Huckabee is a liberal. Now, if he is such a liberal, wouldn''t he be taking votes away from McCain? Wouldn''t that be a good thing for Romney?

It just goes to show that Huckabee is a true conservative that stands by his convictions and has a consistent record on matters that are important to Republicans: pro-life, pro-family, secure borders, etc...

I am voting for Mike Huckabee because he has proven he can run a government, having done so longer than any other candidate. He can relate to every level of society and their problems and has an inside understanding of religion and how it can drive the faithful and the fanatic - without talking down to either. A friend encouraged me to find out more about Gov. Huckabee by visiting his website, and I will encourage others to do the same. Don''t vote until you take a deeper look at what he has to offer America. While the others talk about changing Washington, Huckabee has the communication skills and the ideas to do it.

Achieving energy independence in 10 years, abolishing the IRS, rebuilding our infrastructure, having the border secure within 18 months. I want someone who has bold ideas and the ability to make them reality. Governor Huckabee did it in Arkansas, a democratic-dominant state. By working with the state''s representatives he improved its schools, its infrastructure, and its economy. I want to see him do the same for America. Check out his website. You won''t be sorry.

*** ALERT ****

Tony Perkins and James Dobson of FRC (Family Research Council) value voters guide that I just received today clearly shows they are supporting Mike Huckabee for President.

Out of all the questions they asked of Republicans and Democrates, Mike Huckabee scored 100% in all questions.

It also shows that Mitt Romney''''s liberal positions are still showing through him in the questioning.

It says Mitt Romney supports human cloning and embryo destruction. Plus it says Mitt Romney would vote for passage to water down the Federal Marriage act of 1996.

Plus it says Mitt Romney will vote to allow passage of law that allows the Government to take away private land of it''''s citizens whenever it wants to.

Do Republicans want a liberal like Mitt Romney running our party or a true conservative like Mike Huckabee running our party?

It''''s clear that Tony Perkins and Dr. James Dobson are supporting conservative Mike Huckabee in the value votes results I just received today.

If you are a conservative who has admired what Tony Perkins and Dr. James Dobson has down for the nation, please go vote tomorrow for Mike Huckabee who they are clearly showing they are supporting.
