Assuming, of course, that you're in a super-tuesday state and not voting absentee. If you're not absolutely certain that the machines are rigged in your district, you need to get out and add you voice to the collective.

Huckabee claims he wants to get rid of the IRS and income tax but then states he wants to put in a fair tax. He's lying.


Also, some radio stations are claiming there are only three candidates left even though Ron Paul hasn't dropped out.

You're going to let media decide for you is basically what is going on.

Huckabee is bought and paid for by lobbyists. Ron Paul could be, but he may not be. I have reasons for suspicion that RP **COULD** be a curve ball thrown out by the NWO. But at the same time this is not definate, and he seems to be the best candidate running...... I question aspects of his foreign policy though (not non-interventionalism, I think that is a good thing).
Huckabee is definately a lobbyist stooge. He just tries to copy whatever RP says to try and sway more young voters, for the most part. They've tried to get several republican candidates to sway votes away from RP, namely McCain, Guilliani, and Huckabee.
But this is really all a game of sharades. I mean if they want a certain person in office, theyr gonna put that person in office, no matter what we vote. Just look at how Bush won the election. I think Hillary is picked to win this one.

mark my word, Hillary will win.... I hate to say it but it's the truth. Some people may laugh and say "she won't win", I've encountered this before.... So I won't argue, just remember my prediction, Hillary is going to win. I'm not all that thrilled about it either.

Huckabee (and now Romney as well) is being disingenuous with the FairTax proposal. They claim they're getting rid of the IRS and income tax, but what they generally neglect to mention is that they want to replace it with a 35% national sales tax. That would absolutley wreck our economy and destroy the value of the dollar. I don't understand why people won't vote for candidates who "don't have a chance." If you take that mentality, you just vote for whoever the media tells you to because no one else has a chance. Candidates you like will have a better chance if you vote for them- so do it!

Ron paul wants to get rid of the irs, huckabee wants to get a flat rate on the taxes. Ron paul revolutionists are scaryer. I do say i kind of agree with you though. I threw my vote in for paul, but huckabee has a better chance. I keep hoping r.p. will be m.h. vice pres, but I don't think that will happen, not in order for m.h. to get more votes. Besides, if he did that the news media would just as soon leave huckabee out of the debates and stuff.

I vote my conscious, popularity disregarded. It's like the most popular guy in school talent show runs a crappy band and gets the number one despite more harmonious efforts.

Its March 4th where I'm at but definitely, unless I'm stuck out of town I'll be sure to (and yeah, I do need to research the absentee thing to see when I'd need to send my ballot in and how I'd go about it).
