Hello?
Hi, this is Mike Huckabee ...
Uh...
... calling to ask for your vote in Tuesday's election for President here in Alabama.
Well, you know I was supporting Fred Thompson and ...
This election isn't about me, it's about we.
Why are you calling me from Las Vegas?
The future of the conservative movement and the direction that our nation takes depends on the choice that you make.
And I chose Fred ...
And when it comes to authenticity, conviction, and proven leadership on the fundamental issues that we conservatives care so deeply about, the choice is clear.
Yeah, Fred Thompson, but he dropped ...
I strongly support a federal life amendment and as Governor passesd a marriage amendment to our state's constitution.
But conservatives don't monkey around with the Constitution ...
I cut taxes 94 times and balanced the budget every year I was Governor for 10½ years.
Uh...
We produced record job growth.
But I got a job ...
And as President, I'll provide the leadership to pass federal marriage and life amendments and fight for the values of Alabama people.
You know I'm from Georgia, right?
On Day One, I'll never sacrifice our principles for anybody's politics. Not now and not ever.
Okay, let me ask you...
This is Mike Huckabee and I'll appreciate your vote.
Yeah, I know who you are, I just want to...

Who was that?
It was Mike Huckabee.
What did he want?
He's running for President.
I thought you were voting for Fred Thompson.
Well, I was. But he dropped out.
So, what did Mike Huckabee want?
He wants me to vote for him.
Yeah, you Baptists stick together, don't you?
I didn't vote for Bill Clinton. Or Al Gore. So there.
So why'd he call...

Hello?
Hi, this is Senator John McCain.
Uh, hello.
And I'm calling today to personally ask for your vote and make a pledge to you.
Well, I was supporting Fred Thompson before...
As your President, I promise to lead our nation and our party as a Ronald Reagan conservative.
Uh, ...
I'll lower your taxes, veto wasteful government spending, and make sure our party returns to the smaller government principles on which it began.
Huckabee's a preacher and you get religion?
I'll secure our border first before pursuing any other immigration reform.
Can I just get you to secure my phone line instead?
I'll appoint conservative judges like Justices Alito and Roberts.
You didn't answer about...
I will protect the sanctity of life and have a 24-year record to prove it.
Are you even listening to me?
This is my commitment to you.
Uh...
Consider our greatest challenge as a nation is to defeat a relentless enemy: radical Islamic extremists.
Who is it?
My life experience has prepared me better than any other candidate to defeat this enemy.
It's John McCain...
We and and will win this war.
I think it's John McCain.
Again, this is John McCain.
Paid for by John McCain 2008.
Hey, put Senator McCain back on the phone. I had a question for him. Hello? Hello?
What did he want?
He just wanted to talk.
About what?
It doesn't matter. I'm just waiting for a Republican who will listen.

If you really did support Fred how do you account for not knowing any amendment proposed is nothing but a pipedream??
ReplyDeleteDid you not hear him speak about Federalism or read a full and detailed explanation of how to correctly deal with judicial activism? OR why amendments are impossible to pass and/or repeal??

Did you even read what I wrote?
ReplyDeleteHuckabee advocated it. And, yes, their words are from actual robo-calls they left on my answering machine Saturday. I wrote this post as if I had actually taken the calls.
I don't support changing the Constitution. I'd rather have judges that don't invent law and instead, interpret the Constitution properly.
Funny post. Must have taken quite a while to put it together.
ReplyDeleteMitt is the only choice left...
Thanks. Yeah, took way to long for what we got out of it. But such is life.
ReplyDeleteHey, Mitt Romney gets props for not calling me at home on the weekend.
It's been a while since you have done a post like this, hasn't it? I used to enjoy the "Glenn Reynolds" posts in years gone by. I enjoyed this one. I especially like the "picture" of the wife. :-)
ReplyDeleteI've gotten TWO Mitt Romney calls today. sigh...
