For starters I like Governor Mike Huckabee. I don’t think he’s a bad person, but instead he just hold wrong views on the issues that affect our country. It still doesn’t mean I’ll vote for him. But what he said on a
recent article in CNN Political Ticker doesn’t any sense.
Huckabee predicts if the Republican Party in its current status is on way of becoming “irrelevant as the Whigs”, and in order it regain it’s national status it must broaden its outreach. But the conflicting message is, his remedy for doing so is to refuse to moderate it’s conservative agenda, and most specifically, of course, do not do anything that might loses the party’s bases of traditional conservative voters.
I find that to be unlikely to happen, if the Republican Party’s goal to broaden its party’s support by refuse concession to appeal to those moderate and independent voters. Especially since right now, because of the Obama election, the main important voting bloc is young adults, who as it right not aren’t appealed by the Republican message of anti-gay and anti-choice. Just appealing to the older white voters who hate liberals and think they are socialist and may win elections for certain states, but in the long run it wouldn’t work since the minority voters with each passing year is growing larger and larger, while the white vote is not.
Respectfully, unless Huckabee has some magic dust that he can use to throw at the voters and make them forget the past eight years of the Bush Administration, and turn their outlook to the Maggie Gallagher of the world, then I don’t think the Governor knows what he’s talking about.
