they didn’t figure out Slick either though any Southern right winger could tell Slick was full of it

True, but we do have a saying: in 1992, we backed him to get him out of the state, and in 1996, we backed him to keep him out.

“We can trade with China without giving away the store.”

Not when a Clinton is doing the “trading”....

Reagan’s REAL record of “free trade” (Harley Davidson and Semiconductors):

“Sure, he was a free trader who wanted too open up trade, but he always sought first to protect the sovereignty of the United States and its manufacturing base. He did not confuse free trade with giving the store away.”

Chinese are our enemy, not an ally...should NEVER be a “trading partner”. That is, unless you work for Loral and don’t mind it when our technology is used against us on the battlefield.

Nevermind that Thompson has also proven to have a slew of conservative principles. Like that solid immigration plan he put out today.

Your horse Hunter is a joke. Sure, he's a good conservative, but he's not the only one of those in the race.

You need to dump that loser you're rooting for and back a winner. Hunter can't even carry his own state.

Oh, you are one of those idiots ... why didn’t you tell me up front you dont have a clue about free trade and economics? Have you read F A Hayek, Von Mises, Milton Friedman, or Thomas Sowell ie real pro-free-market economists, on the matter?

You're one of "those idiots" that trade the same communists who attack our aircraft and hold our servicemen as hostages"?

Nice strawman argument. Thanks for failing to distinguish between apples and oranges. Goodnight.

You sound just like Sean Vannity...."Rudy is a conservative"...the "only one who can beat Hitlery".

EXTRA LARGE so you can read the 'fine print':

No need to distinguish trading with communists...they are not an ally. Free trade should be reserved for those who don’t attack our soldiers or provide weaponry to our enemies.

no, Thompson is more conservative than all of those you listed. His voting record shows that and he comes across as stronger too. I like Hunter, but unless he can gather the funds to go directly to the people, he doesn’t stand a chance. He is being practically blackballed in the debates.

In re Huckabee and Illegal Immigration:

Huckabee and Karl Rove have the same theory: I.E. That Mexicans are the Republicans of the Future and will be eventually useful in counterbalancing the death grip the Democrats have on the black vote. THis is an attractive, if entirely bogus, idea in a state like Arkansas which has a close to 50% black electorate.

Also, illegal Mexicans have started to replace blacks in the Arkansas labor pool ... and thus have helped a lot of the Huckster's most fervent supporters make a lot of money.

You got that right. The Huckster left a 3% surcharge on state income tax in place for years after our state went from a deficit to a surplus when he promised it would be repealed as soon as the deficit was eliminated - the liar. I still seeth about that, as well as the sales tax fiasco. He speaks like a conservative, but practices as a liberal leaning RINO.

Hunter is a BIG spender and loves earmarks. I can’t ignore that. Plus he is a protectionist meaning anti-free trade. He is a professional politician who used to be conservative.

This guy is more of a RINO than many of those who Freepers like to call RINOS. HUCKABEE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE P OR VP SLOT.

Please repeat this loudly and often for all conservatives to hear. It's crucial that our voters are no longer horn-swoggled by slick political talkers.

Huckabee promotes 'open door' policy at LULAC convention

Thursday, Jun 30, 2005

By Wesley Brown Arkansas News Bureau

LITTLE ROCK - In a impassioned speech before hundreds of influential Hispanic civil rights leaders from across the nation, Gov. Mike Huckabee told a captive audience Wednesday that America is great because it has always opened it doors up to people seeking a better way of life.

"I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families ...," Huckabee said as the largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing ovation.

Huckabee was the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson, at a noon luncheon of the League of United Latin American Citizens, which is holding its 76th annual convention in Little Rock.

About 10,000 political, community and business leaders, along with exhibitors and speakers are in Little Rock attending the convention at the Statehouse Convention Center. The convention started Monday and runs through Saturday.

Although he never actually talked about the U.S. or Arkansas immigration policy, Huckabee made it very clear where he stood on the issue. In his opening remarks, he said the nation will need to address the concerns of the Hispanic community because of its growing influence and population base.

"Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority," Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter.

He told the LULAC delegates that their presence in the state's capital city was very important because Arkansas has one of the fastest growing Hispanic populations in the nation.

"Your gathering is so very significant for our state," Huckabee said. "We are delighted to have you (criminal invader illegal aliens)"

In Arkansas, Huckster is already a member of a minority group. It's the shape of a lot of states right now: Negroes on Federal Programs, Hispanics working, white jerks like the Huckster and Tyson temporarily in charge ... and making a lot of money

Until Republicans wake up and begin to contribute to the campaign of the one conservative who gets things done, the party will continue drifting left.

http://www.gohunter08.com.

Pretty hard to come up with the Soros purchases, but if all the Republicans who love their country open their wallets to Hunter, we can keep him in until the primaries.

His campaign managers might even buy some primetime spots on network TV! Who knows?????
