HUCKABEE CAN WIN

As my previous post says I support Mike Huckabee for President. If you are from West Virginia and interested in helping Mike let me know.
Here is how I believe he can win the nomination. As of now polling wise no one has a majority. I believe either as other lower tier candidates drop out this will help Mike. I feel one of two things will happen. 1) As the primary's go he will pick up and win enough delegates to win the nomination or 2)no one will have a majority going to the National Convention and he will pick up delegates as others drop out.
I believe he can win the election, especially if Hillary is his opponent, just as her husband upset George Bush Sr.
Again anyone in West Virginia that wants to help Mike let me know.
GOD BLESS

HUCKABEE FOR PRESIDENT

For what it's worth I am throwing my support to Mike Huckabee. I have talked to a few people and several consider him a longshot. I however feel he is the conservative voice many of us are looking for. Also I feel the "frontrunners" will split the vote and Mike will appeal to the conservative base and could get the nomination and win the election.
If anyone in West Virginia is interested in helping with his campaign contact me.

WV TEACHERS

Copy of a letter I recently sent to the Cburg paper. Let me know what you think.

I would say I am amazed, but I'm not. I think it is funny. Again we went thru an election where the teachers & state employees generally endorsed Democrats(with a few exceptions), then after the elections, the Dems turn around and give them the shaft. Then surprise the teachers and state employees gripe, cry and generally complain. When are they going to learn.

I have had people tell me, well it is more than the Republicans would do. How do you know? I know Rob Capehart received the endorsement of the WVAFT & WVEA(in the 2004 gubenatorial primary), by telling them he felt they needed a raise, but there were other areas more pressing. "Lets fix them then we will see if we can give you a raise. Unfortunalely he lost.

Now what is going to really be funny is when Nationally the Dems, and unfortunately I think Pres Bush is going to go along with them, raise the minimum wage and prices go higher. Then what little raise MOJO does give the teachers will be ate up by inflation. No wait it won't be funny it will really be sad.

All I can say is I didn't vote for them.

WHOSE FIRST IN YOUR LIFE

Although I am almost 57 years old, I'm still not sure what I am doing with my life. I have 3 adult children and although they all have strayed at one time or the other, the Lord has really blessed me and they have, all 3, turned out pretty good I am divorced, but my ex and I get along pretty good now.
Although I am a Christian and have been saved for 26 years, my life has been a mess, largley because of my own stupid decisions. In the last couple of years things have started to straighten up in my life, but I am still not sure what the Lord has in store for me. I have however finally figured out what I need to do. Now I just need to do what I am supposed to.

The whole thing amounts to who or what do I put first in my life. While I have been saved over 26 years and know that God is always in control, most of the time I have not put him first in my life. I feel that is the main challenge most Christians have.

We need to put God first and seek his will in everything we do. A few years ago I heard this, our life should be JOY; Jesus first, Others second, yourself last. To many times we make it reversed.

So anyone who reads this before you do something, no matter how small, always seek God's will, do what he tells you and put him first in everything.

GOD BLESS

UPDATE

I'm putting this in writing so the day after the election, I can say see I told you so. I strongly believe that the GOP will not lose the majority in the House or Congress. They might lose a few seats(but I don't think they will), but I strongly believe they won't lose the majority. While the GOP may lose some seats, I feel they will win some many people think they will lose(Like WV's Senate seat and the Northern and Southern House seats.) The Dems do not have any ideas, all they want to do is complain and not offer any solutions.
On another note I have been watching Tammy Bruce and got to thinking about "gay marriage". Can't gay couples enter into a contract, such as power of attorney, as well as other contracts, which would for all intent or purposes given them the same thing as marriage, without needing the actual marriage.
One last thing. Gov Manchin where is the 1% sales tax cut.
GOD BLESS

More Misc Thoughts

PARTISAN DIVIDE - The media makes a big thing about how divided the country is and how partisan we are. I feel they try to blame Republicans, but to me(and yes I'm biased)it's the Dems. Case in point 1)Watergate vs Monica Lewinski, a)what brought Nixon down, the Republicans joined with the Dems and told Nixon basicly "We can't stand behind you". Why did Clinton survive? The Dems stood behind their guy(unlike the GOP did with Nixon)and he survived. By the way I may be wrong, but I don't believe Nixon was actually convicted of anything and Clinton was.
2)The current War on Terror. In every other military action the opposition party stood behind the Pres(ex: Clinton - Bosnia, etc), even if they disagreed with them. That is not the case now.
"THE PICTURE" - As people that have read my blog know I feel the Board of Education should remove the picture of Jesus(it is NOT a portrait) from Bridgeport High. One of the things Mike Queen keeps saying is "it is a question of the Principal's personal freedom". I can't see how Mr. Queen thinks this is a question of the Principal's personal freedom. Because it is put up on a wall in the Hall that everyone can see. If the picture was put up in the Principals office(even though the student's would be subjected to it, if they came to his office)then I feel they would have a better case. The ACLU may try to fight that also, but I feel that would be a winnable battle.
AIRPORT TRAVEL - I haven't flown for a long time and may not ever fly again, or I might. Not that I'm against it, just that at this time in my life it is not something I do. However I can sympathize with the people who fly. But to the ones that are complaining about the hassles they go through, I ask this question would you want to spend 2 hours extra prior to leaving or leave and not ever arrive. Also people IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE HASSLES FIND SOMEWAY ELSE TO TRAVEL.
GOD BLESS
