The price is wrong, Bob!

So what does a paraphrase from Happy Gilmore have to do with anything related to Super Tuesday? Well, for the past week and half (really almost the entire presidential political season in regards to Huckabee) we have been barraged by comments from Rush, Hannity, and now Dobson, on how McCain and Huckabee are too liberal to be elected or how they are not electable. Well, as the results are coming in tonight, it looks like the pundits were wrong!

I have to take big issues with Dr. Dobson- a man who I truly respect in family and religious matters. However, there have been many times when he could have made a great stand in regards to this election and he has not. Everything that Dr. Dobson has said he is looking for in a candidate (pro-life, pro-marriage, Christian, etc.) is strongly evident in Mike Huckabee and time and time again he has not supported him. He (Dobson) talks about McCain sticking his thumb in the eye of the Republican party . . . well, in my humble opinion, Dr. Dobson has stuck his thumb in the eye of Christians by not offering his support to the candidate who fits exactly what he is looking for! Why Dr. Dobson would not support Huckabee I do not know. Early conventional wisdom among many of the evangelical right wing conservative leaders is that they would not support Huckabee because they believed he could not win. Yea! You guys really got that one right!!

Also, Dr. Dobson said today that if McCain was elected (as the Republican nominee) he would not vote!! I'm sorry, but if you don't vote in the election, then you need to shut up! If you choose not to vote because a candidate does not meet every thing you want (and no, Huckabee doesn't meet every criteria I have either) then you have no stance to complain when Hillary or Barak is elected in November. And if Republicans do not come together to support the nominee- whoever that is, then that is exactly what will happen.

And here's something else to remember that I was reminded of in my devotion time this morning- OUR GOD REIGNS!! Therefore, no matter who wins, God is still in control! Why should we worry?!

PS- I am looking for some video of Huckabee's speech tonight to post and will as soon as I find it. I am also looking for a sound bite from Rick Burgess of The Rick and Bubba Show who gave an excellent quote as to why it is so important to look at the "what" that drives a candidate. I don't want to misquote him, so I won't say it until I can post it, but Rick's comments this morning were, in my opinion, a lot more Biblically centered than the rhetoric that Dr. Dobson issued this afternoon via the Laura Ingraham show. So yes, there is more to come!
