Letter to the Editor WDL: Unite the GOP-by Kevin Crouch
February 20, 2008 by ellisco4huckabeeThis is a Letter to the Editor that Kevin Crouch wrote to the Waxahachie Daily Light last week:
To the Editor,I am a long time Mike Huckabee supporter, but the recent poll numbers and primary results have shown that no matter what happens, John McCain will win the Republican nomination. I have heard talk from conservatives that a no-show is in the works to protest McCain’s nomination. Others talk about voting for third parties or a write-in. This is the worst mistake to make on election day, other than voting for the Democratic nominee.
On March 4, we must vote for John McCain and guarantee him the 140 winner-take-all delegates Texas offers. The quicker we guarantee him the nomination, the longer we have to unite as a party and win over the conservative independent voters. If we keep Mike Huckabee in the race, we will suffer the same division that faces and endangers the Democratic Party.
We must also pledge to vote for John McCain in November, because a vote for a third party, write-in or a no-show is as good as voting for the Democratic Party. We need to put our differences aside and unite as Republicans to keep the radical liberals at bay and make sure tax hikes and a disaster in Iraq are safely confined in the dreams of the Democratic candidate.We must support John McCain with full effort all the way to convention. A victory in Texas would help ensure a victory on Nov. 8 in the general election. No politician is perfect, but we must stand behind the candidate who can beat the Democratic nominee.
Kevin Crouch,
