ATT: Republican Party: "It's time for a change"...

friends,

as you all know, i'm not a seasoned savvy politico, nor do i aspire to be. on the contrary, i only became involved in politics, upon learning of governor huckabee. he has motivated and inspired, not only me, but many many other people like myself to get involved in the political process.

i hear pundits and politicos throwing out comments like, "populist,".... "abandoning the traditional republican platform."

you know what friends? i don't care. i don't care if huckabee doesn't fall neatly into the category of "a true establishment republican." in fact, that is probably why many americans and evangelicals are embracing him!! as far as being a "goold 'ol boy republican," it is obvious, americans and christians across the country, no longer want it, will no longer tolerate it... and more importantly, this way of thinking can no longer win elections.

"true republican conservatives" sit back dinging huckabee on minutia and try to dissect his every word, in hopes of trying to trip him up and discredit his 'true conservative' credibility. these 'establishment republicans' are fighting hard to maintain their age old agenda, this even at the risk of losing the presidential election. they are clearly out of touch with americans. nowhere was that more clearly seen, than this past week, in iowa. despite the exorbitant money spent by an 'establishment backed republican' and all the endorsements by the 'good 'ol boys and wallstreet', huckabee resoundingly won the caucus.

huckabee won because rank and file christians and concerned americans are taking government and this presidential election back. we don't care about the labels, titles, endorsements or connections. like governor huckabee has often stated, "americans are looking for somebody to take america up."

that is why, even many republicans are voting democrat this election. many are voting for obama because of his message of hope. it is clear, that there is enormous dissatisfaction with the republican party. and how are the 'establishment republicans' responding?? by trying to continue to promote their age old agenda, without having the foresight to see a need for change and growth.

sadly, the 'establishment republicans' are truly missing the boat. fortunately, rank and file christians, and independent thinking americans, see and embrace governor huckabee's vision.
governor huckabee is a man that embodies the american dream. governor huckabee is a man that can lead with experience and communicate his vision with clarity and passion. and the rank and file christians are responding with equal clarity and passion.

it's NOT about what's liberal or conservative. it's about what doing what's right and needful in a wise and prudent manner. it's about trusting a man of integrity and honesty to lead us there.

for example, many christians homeschool their children. back even 10-15 years ago, homeschooling would have been considered outlandishly liberal!!! yet, today, thousands of "conservative christians" homeschool their children. are they considered liberal? no, they have simply taken initiative and done what was needful and best for their children. today, these homeschoolers are embraced and praised. yet, a few years back, they would have been outcast and labeled liberal, and too 'anti-establishment'. indeed, they were pioneers and ahead of their time. these families helped to encourage growth and alternative thinking and solutions in education. today, we all enjoy the fruits of their labor.

so it is, with governor huckabee. governor huckabee has the vision to see what is needful. who cares if dealing with the environment is considered 'liberal or populist'. IT IS NEEDFUL! by being so narrow-minded and only addressing issues that have been 'traditionally conservative republican' , republicans find themselves outdated and left behind.

there is now a new generation of republicans. a new generation of evangelicals. politics is no longer about "what your party believes", but more what "your candidate believes and embodies". it is no longer about "following the party", it is about the candidate, himself; his vision, his character, his ability to communicate and inspire the american people. it's about "personally researching and being independent thinkers." this is a new era of voter. it's high time republicans wake up and realize, christians and americans now think for themselves, research for themselves, and will vote for themselves. american voters have become much more savvy.

the republican party better wake up and take notice, or before they know it, the republican party will become quickly irrelevant and obsolete. there will be no growth in the party. the new generation voter, will not tolerate the stagnation and will bypass it altogether.

so despite what governor huckabee is labeled by the media, he is, in fact, an agent of change. not only for america but for the republican party. obviously, the republican party is resistant to this new change. they have had their own vested interests and agendas in place for years. however, if the republican party doesn't wake up and are not willing to change, they will lose support. they will lose power. they will have won the battle..and miserably lost the war.

friends....it is, indeed, the year of the rank and file christian...the rank and file american. this is the year, americans think and act for themselves. it is clear, america has problems. america needs a leader that will guide us to solutions.

it is up to us, to step up, and get involved in the process. it is up to us, to select a leader that understands the issues, and has the character to see it through. if we don't, we will be swept away with the tide, and of the agenda of the elites in the party. after all, when it is all said and done, if we don't get involved and at least try to impact the process and the party, who do we really have to blame?

let's go, christians...let's go americans...it's time to take the republican party and america back ....and upward!!!
