I Like Mike!

I have been very fascinated with the Presidential politics this year for several reasons. The main reason is that it is not totally predictable (although the media likes to act like it is and then they change their pick). It is still very fluid in both parties, which I think has been very good for the political process. It has allowed real discussion of serious issues instead of people being corralled along "party lines." Maybe this year we will get a candidate who has actually thought "outside of the box" a little bit. I am hoping for one anyway. That is why I am supporting Mike Huckabee--he is one candidate who appears to have approached issues with some critical thought before spewing out an expected "party line." Yes, perhaps there are others who are outside the box as well, but I actually like most of the conclusions Gov. Huckabee has reached on the issues. His principles appear to align with Scriptural principles, and it has been shown time and again that when Biblical principles are properly applied, all of society (not just small sectors) will benefit. Take a look at him and see if you might agree too. I want someone who will take practical approaches to issues. So many politicians know how to speak rhetoric with no reasonable plan of action. The media is trying to paint a very flat picture of him, but I think they will have a hard time denying the fact that he is actually a very well-rounded candidate who has fresh ideas and the interests of the people in mind.


NOTE: No political figure will be able to solve all the problems in this world. Only God can do that.
