Today is a sad day for conservatism. Another candidate has dropped out of the GOP race, one of the few candidates that can actually be considered conservative. Right now, the media is shoving several moderate candidates down our throats, and forcing the actually conservative candidates to the bottom of the race. Tom Tancredo was one such candidate.

Not only was Tom Tancredo one of the few conservatives in the race, he was one of the few that could be trusted when it comes to the issue of border security; and he is an expert on it too. Now that he has left the race, where are those of us to turn that support actually securing our borders?

Unfortunately, the media seems to be dead set against the candidates that want to actually secure the border and protect our sovereignty. The media is obsessed with the current front-runners, which is evidence to me they should not be trusted:

Mitt Romney: See this article showing how he has flip-flopped on immigration: http://www.unionleader.com/article.aspx?headline=Romney%27s+migration%3a+He+shouldn%27t+need+to+lie&articleId=916a6347-2df9-4199-9050-1e684d0a0f7e

Fred Thompson: Has hinted that he supports path to citizenship programs (see this comparison sheet between him and Duncan Hunter, where Fred shows his true colors on amnesty, http://dhgrassrevolt.wordpress.com/2007/12/07/huckabeehunter-and-thompsonhunter-comparison-sheets/

Thompson also has supported NAFTA and its expansion. (Numbers USA has beefed up Thompson’s record a bit, making it look better than it did a few months ago. Here is an article delving into Thompson’s past, http://dhgrassrevolt.wordpress.com/2007/10/13/gary-c-huggins-illegal-immigration-history-of-fred-thompson-and-his-campaign-assistant-spencer-abraham/

John McCain: McCain-Kennedy (enough said)

Rudy Giuliani: Has connections to NAFTA through is law firm, supported sanctuary city policies in New York. Has some of the WORST ratings from NumbersUSA of anyone running.

This is all not to mention the other shortfallings these candidates have when it comes to other important conservative issues, that candidates such as Tancredo and Duncan Hunter are much better on.

I support Congressman Duncan Hunter, and hope you will join me.

Worth repeating! LOUDLY!!!!

Right now, the media is shoving several moderate candidates down our throats...

It's not the media.

It is respectable mainstream conservative leaders, analysts, and pundits who have taken a long, hard look at all Republican candidates, and conclude that certain ones stand the best chance of winning.

Ann Coulter, Paul Weyrich, Jay Sekulow, Judge Robert Bork, Hugh Hewitt, Bob Jones III, Michael Medved, Ben Stein, Michael Smerconish, Rich Lowrey, National Review, David Bossie, Tom Tancredo, etc.

The list goes on and on of those who support Romney.

I'm sure these Romney endorsers (like myself) love and respect Hunter, Thompson, Tancredo, and even John McCain.

They just feel Romney is the best (conservative supporting) candidate to win in '08.

Right now, the media is shoving several moderate candidates down our throats, and forcing the actually conservative candidates to the bottom of the race.

And what about the voters in all this - do you not blame them? Are they mindless robots programmed by the MSM in this internet age? I don't think so.

Face it, the public doesn't want the candidates you want. You can't blame the candidates for the public's lack of education or sophistication.
