Convention of Statesmen

Mitt Romney, John McCain, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton

Huckabee's a joke. Everyone knows it except for the man himself and the evangelicals who keep voting for him. But let's take a look at a possible scenario.

I have a plan. It's a good one. Huckabee stays in the race. McCain doesn't get the number of delegates he needs and it is forced to go to a vote at the Republican National Convention. Mitt Romney didn't drop out of the race, he suspended his campaign which means delegates can still vote for him and he could still be the Republican nominee. Mind boggling, isn't it?

So . . . anybody see where I'm going with this? At the Republican National Convention it goes to a vote and every single Republican national delegate stops being stupid and casts a vote for Mitt Romney and he becomes the party nominee. The McCain and Huckabee camps apologize for the lies, misrepresentation and outright betrayal of Republicans across the nation. Mitt Romney chooses a running mate, such as Rudy Giuliani, who is strong on defense, although Mitt Romney is no slouch. And the Republican National Campaign begins in earnest with an onslaught of advertising helping Americans to know Mitt Romney better.

We shine a bright spotlight on the records and politics of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. In so doing, we make it clear that the America which has managed to exist for the last 232 years is worth saving rather than trading it in on socialism or communism, which is where Obama and Clinton would take us. Republicans take the White House, Senate and House. And those elected officials in Congress cease lining their own pockets, backdoor trading, pork producing and take a good long look in the mirror and realize that if we continue down this path, the destruction of America and betrayal of the American people will be complete. They either toe the line or we vote them out of office in two years.

With this scenario in place, anything is possible, the people in Washington, D.C., for the first time in a very long time, get the economy fixed, defeat our enemies once and for all, rebuild this nation based on the Constitution of the United States of America and do what they are supposed to do: Let the states run themselves and their lands while the federal government provides for the national defense, establishes justice to insure domestic tranquility, promotes the general welfare and secures the blessings of liberty without robbing Americans of their Constitutional rights.

Barring this, which I believe to be a natural and intelligent course of action, I'm going to form my own political party. No kidding, there has to be a place for the conservatives of America to go, the people who believe in the defense of the Constitution and a strong and moral America. I will base this party platform on the teachings of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and I will gather conservatives from across the nation. Within twelve years we will have the majority in the Congress and will have the White House. No, I will NOT be the nominee. But somehow I, along with a few good men and women, will pull this together and I swear to you, it will happen.

But back to the current plan. So how do we make the National Convention work? First, don't let McCain take the number of delegates necessary to preclude Huckabee from the Convention. Contact every single one of your super delegates and your state party officials (national delegates) and let them know, in no uncertain terms, how you want them to vote at the convention. Their email and voicemail boxes must be flooded with your phone calls and emails. Your voice must be heard loud and clear. Then you see if their integrity insures they follow through. Make sure they know if they don't cast their votes for Mitt Romney then they are out of a job. Make sure they understand you will dedicate all your efforts to making sure they no longer run the party in your state.

With all that being said . . . what are our chances? Not good. It requires a lot of people to stop voting with their emotions, take a look at the issues and what will insure a bright tomorrow for the American people, free of big federal government, and vote accordingly. In other words, use the brains God gave you, please?

Told ya I'd have a plan in a few days. It took me a week, but there it is. Other people, under great stress (such as my husband being in the hospital with an undiagnosed infection) would get a massage, get a pedicure or manicure (this was pointed out to me by a girlfriend by the way) and do something to reduce the stress. Not me, I develop a plan to get my candidate back on top of the political heap and form my own political party. Hey, it works for me!

  1. I was hoping people would still vote for Mitt if he was still on the ballot. He got about 16% of vote in Washington state even though he had already suspended his campaign. You hit it on the nail, people are voting by emotion and not with their heads. If they were, Romney would be the obvious choice! What if McCain picks Romney as his running mate? Would you support that? If McCain picks Huck- I'm out of there and ready to join your new party!

  2. I'd go along with that...I've long thought we needed to get some party more recognition than the big two. I was raised an Independent, but there aren't many of them left any more. I wish your scenario had a chance to work out...but you know that goodness and right don't often win in politics...take care of your hubby! Thanks for the continued voice of the right. You go girl!

  3. Sounds great to me. (Too bad I think there are too many...um... (I can't even think of an adequate word here...maybe evil, wicked, corrupt, power hunger, stupid (take your pick) people would stand in the way of this working.
    let me know when you start your own party and sign me up.

    I'm so sorry to hear about Alvin - my prayers are with you both. Let me know if you need some m&m's or a butterfinger and I'll run one by.

  5. Candace,
    For the sake of America, I hope that you are right on this one. Mitt is the best choice for America. I think that if any other delegates get elected then, this country is in big trouble. I hope Mitt has an ace up his sleeve!

  8. Candace,

    I wonder if you've looked into the Constitution party. It has a relatively small following, but Matt votes for their representatives every year.

  9. Both Democrats scare the heck out of me. I have to say that Obama scares me less than Hillary does but both are scary nonetheless.

    There was a time when I liked McCain but I think the old boy is a bit past his prime. Mitt was great but although he had the conservatives, he couldn't pull the moderate Republican vote and that is where the political pendulum is swinging.

    Quite simply, this next election frightens me more than Freddy Kruger did when I was 13 years old.

    We're praying for Alvin. Keep the faith.

  10. When Mitt suspended his campaign, I kept telling my kids not to despair because it was still possible for him to be the nominee.

    As for everyone that says, "If only" we have to remember this- With God, ALL things are possible. We just need to be willing to do as Candace suggests, get to work, start writing, calling, talking and letting it be know what our wishes are. Then we need to pray as if everything depended on our prayers for our country to be saved and taken care of. We have been promised that if we will work for the right, we will be blessed and taken care of. So stop wishing, start working and then praying about our country.

    Remember, all it takes for evil to win is for good men (women) to do nothing!

  11. Politics and corruptiion go hand in hand. Or is that politics and my cynicism? Probably both. Anyway, my house representative is Jeff Flake. He is considered quite conservative. He also happens to be LDS. Who did he endorse? John McCain. Why? I suspect it has something to do with if John McCain were elected President, that would make an opening in the U.S, Senate for AZ, which Jeff Flake really wants.

    Anyway, using West Virginia as my guide, I'd be willing to be that Huckabee is bummed that Mitt dropped out also for the same reason you mentioned, i.e. he wants a brokered convention. But just as John McCain helped Huckabee in WV, Huckabee would return the favor at the convention and tell his delegates to support John McCain with a promise that he get the VP nod. Without a brokered convention there is no way that McCain will pick Huckabee as his veep, he just carries too much baggage.

    Romney makes more sense as McCain's choice for veep, as CPAC showed, the conservatives like Romney. However, if he was picked as veep he would be expected to support whatever McCain says. That could be scary. In four to eight years, he would have to distance himself pretty quickly from what McCain did as President and people would ask, if you disagree with him now, why did you support him then, i.e. flip-flop.

    I think that I'm in favor of your 3rd party initiative.

  14. Wow! What a great plan. It does seem like a dream but I would love it. I was a Romney supporter. I'm definitely not a McCain supporter. Miracles do happen. Lets see if one can happen here.
