Ohio and Texas voters are overwhelming in favor of Mike Huckabee for president.

The Liberal Media and the Republican establishment don''t want the real poll numbers to be released showing how well Mike Huckabee is doing in those two states.

The Liberal media doesn''t want it because they know both Obama and Clinton''s selfish desires can''t compete with Huckabee''s down home charm in a national election.

And the Republican establishment doesn''t want it because they want to retain control over their money hungry control over taxes and greed.

Ohio and Texas have huge number of true conservative voters. The republican party & liberal media must come out of their shell and give John McCain and Mike Huckabee a chance to debate on live TV in both Ohio and Texas.

Conservative Newt Gingrich will be endorsing Mike Huckabee for President (Maybe a VP ticket). Read what Newt had to say about Mike:

"Over the past few months I%u2019ve been very impressed with the Governor%u2019s openness to new ideas and solutions for improving our country. He showed genuine leadership a few weeks ago by being the first candidate to sign the Nine Nineties in Nine debate pledge. By committing to a much more in-depth, solution-oriented political dialogue in our country, Governor Huckabee showed that he%u2019s truly interested in real change."

Huckabee was the 44th Governor of Arkansas and soon he will be the 44th President of America. All the connections are starting to light up now in the sky.

A very self contradicting set of statements as noted in most of your posts.

Once again, subtle distinctions are not your strong suit. There is a difference between respecting the choice one makes and respecting one''s right to make a choice. Religious fanatics, like yourself, generally have a hard time with this distinction because you believe so fervently that you are right, and yet you are at the same time so threatened by the possibility of being wrong, that you require everyone to believe the same as you do, and if they don''t, you attempt to criminalize them and deny them equal protection under the law.

The truth is that the bible and Gods laws are a direct confront with your lifestyle and beliefs, thus the confrontationist attacks and defences.

Actually, the fact that I am gay is only one small part of who I am, so your bigotry, once again, is shining through.

Now, as for sophistication, if you are referring to my belief in evolution, and my disbelief in creationism by some sort of personal god, well, you got me there. I must admit that I do feel superior for demanding evidence and logic as a sound basis for belief instead of superstitious mumbo jumbo, and belief in an absurd God who would require his son to suffer and die on a cross in order that I might be saved. How ridiculous is that? It makes absolutely no sense at all that my salvation is dependant upon the suffering and death of another.

I don''t care if you are Christian or non-Christian right now at this moment.

The fact that 69,665 people from Louisiana who voted for Mike Huckabee to winner status are being told that they completely wasted their time to go out and vote%u2026 That%u2019s so completely wrong. This process has got to change!

I would never ban christianity. I like to think most intelligent people recognize the absurdity of it without my having to force my own beliefs on them. You see, what separates me from Christian fundamentalists is that I respect a person''''s right to make up his or her own mind.

A very self contradicting set of statements as noted in most of your posts. You try to equate with intelligence and sophistication, yet the true ideology and disdain for christianity is blatantly transparent. The truth is that the bible and Gods laws are a direct confront with your lifestyle and beliefs, thus the confrontationist attacks and defences.

URGENT! VOTERS need a CHOICE! Every time Mike Huckabee gets air time his polls go up -- so we must insist they hold Republican Debates!!! And, I say we ask for Equal Time -- why is CNN holding 2 Democrat Debates (Feb. 21-Texas, Feb. 27 Ohio)???? We want 2 Republican Debates Too!!!! Equal Time for Republicans and for Huckabee!!! (and Paul too, if he''s still wants to). Tell them that the media will not decide for the voters who the candidates are!

If Abraham Lincoln was running as a presidential candidate today, he would get the same cold shoulder that Mike Huckabee is getting from the Republican establishment and liberal media.

The Republican establishment and liberal media are worried they will lose power if Lincoln or Huckabee were President.

Both Lincoln and Huckabee want to give freedom to all people. Lincoln (to abolish slavery) and Huckabee (to abolish income tax).

The establishment and media should have learned their lesson back in the 1860''s from Abraham Lincoln, but instead they hoard on their money and their selfish desires once again.

With Monday being President''s day, they should reflect on lesson''s learned here, but instead the Republican establishment and Liberal media will again walk past a dying man on a road to Damascus, not offering to help like the age old bibical story goes. The Pharisee and Saducces did the same thing to the common ordinary citizens.

Both Lincoln and Huckabee could go the easy way, but instead the are sticking out their neck to help everyone, not just the few.

Both Lincoln and Huckabee are very humble men, caring about others more than themselves. Both men want to take America to higher ground and create a new American spirit.

Let''s rally around Lincoln and Huckabee, they are truly honest, humble, trustworthy, charismatic and caring people.

He was the only major Republican candidate to attend the forum on minority issues in the fall of 2007.

shhh, he doesn''t want his redneck following to know about this. Hmmm, I wonder why he was the only republican. Could it be that the republican party, on the whole, is TOTALLY F''ING racist? Probably.
