Huckabee Speaks For America's Rebublican, Not Washington's

Mike Huckabee could care less about the politicians in Washington's view of the Republican base. He picks his words carefully, not to impress the pollsters, but to convey the things of his heart to the people. He is truly a like guy, both funny and articulate, and yet remaining humble. He gets to the point of things without over simplifying. Mike Huckabee doesn’t want to change policies or legislation he wants to change America and this is clearly evident every time he steps up to the podium. It’s obvious that Mike Huckabee is prepared for the job of leading our great country, and his time as Governor of Arkansas, as well as the years he spent leading from the pulpit clearly show he knows how to get the job done.
When Huckabee speaks to the Republican base, he isn’t speaking to politicians or lobbyists playing games with Americas time and money in Washington. Well, that is unless you count the heartfelt admiration he shared with Senator McCain in praise of his years of military service. No when Governor Huckabee speaks he isn’t just looking into the camera and talking, and his words are meant for more than the cameras. Huckabee is proof that even though not every thing that glitters is gold, sometimes what doesn’t sparkle and shine is much more valuable. As I re-visited last night’s presidential debate, I saw a man that aside from his heated debate with Anti-Republican Ron Paul, spent most of the night making sure that his message was heard by individual Americans and their families all throughout this country. It’s as if he wasn’t on a stage in a university auditorium in New Hampshire but in every town and every church and school in America.

Clearly Mike Huckabee is both a man of vision and of passion. Not only does he care about America, but he cares about her honor too because he loves his country and its entire population as he loves his family. Huckabee reminds us that America is still “One Nation under God” and he enforces the need for America to once again lead by example. His no frills approach is refreshing, and his solutions are simple that, instead of band aids to stop the bleeding and assurances to look for resolution. Surely his father being a generator repair man has taught Mr. Huckabee that sometimes you can’t just turn a wrench or tighten the screws. No, Huckabee understands that some things that are broken have to be taken apart and re-built from scratch.

Huckabee, like the name of his hometown suggest, and not unlike another Arkansas governor turned president is America’s best hope. Huckabee knows that one cannot achieve success by bickering and mud slinging and wavering on his or her beliefs and he is prepared to move America forward with action and courage with God once again a part of this great nation. And that movement forward will become reality when the “Man from Hope” moves to an address on Pennsylvania Avenue.
