I'm liking what I'm hearing. I figured Kolbe would have to die or retire before letting go of his Congressional seat.

Graf is a Buchanan/Tancredo sock puppet.

Anyone associated with that anti-Bush, anti-Republican group is the enemy of all real conservatives. Tancredo has been warned about his anti-Bush activities by Tom Delay and thrown out of the White House by Karl Rove with instructions not to ever come back.

Graf must be defeated at all cost.

" thrown out of the White House by Karl Rove "

Why does Karl Rove decide who gets to come in the White House?

Bayourod must be ignored at all cost. He's a troll.

Don't toast him yet. Unless he gets a lot of help from people like you, he's going to lose. It is certainly a David vs. Goliath battle as Kolbe has over $600,000 to spend on his campaign and Graf is pure grassroots, being outspent by 10 to 1.

Relax. Graf won't make it to Congress. In the unlikely event he wins the primary, he will probably lose the General. The Dems have a slight generic edge in this district.

Kolbe has a 56 ACU rating for 2003 and a lifetime rating of 75 after nearly 20 years. That's pathetic. I hope it is finally good riddance to Kolbe.

"Why does Karl Rove decide who gets to come in the White House? "

Karl Rove is Lee Atwater's successor; the architect of the modern conservative movement.

Do you not understand what a threat the Buchanan/Tancredo/Graf crowd is to the future of conservatism. Check the website I linked and see that Tancredo's group that is promoting Graf is opposing the reelection of George Bush.

Why do you think Buchanan is is the darling of the liberal media? Why do you think Buchanan is dis-invited to any conservative gathering.

Graf is falling into a David Duke type political group. The fact that Spiff is supporting him should be all the proof you need that he is bad news.

I will agree that 56 ACU for 2003 is "moderate" at best, but do you really think a 75 percent lifetime rating over 20 years is pathetic? That's being with the conservatives 3/4 of the time - not great, but hardly pathetic.

Doesn't Congressman Kolbe have a challenger in the Republican primary? Why should the President take sides in the primary? If Kolbe loses, his RAT opponent can use the President's words (or inviting Kolbe but not the challenger to his events) against him in the general election.

Randy Graf sat in the VIP section at the Cheney rally and I believe he did so at the Bush rally. Kolbe was not seen at either event.

I was on the air with radio talk show host Steve Aiken )(Tucson AM 690) this evening. He told me on the air that his sources tell him that Kolbe "begged" for a photo-op with the Vice President. Cheney or his staff refused the request.

Bayourod and Torie sound like Democrats. I already voted for Graf. If he beats the pink rino, he'll win the general too unless our "big tent" moderate friends undermine us like they do so often.

I take it you agree with me that Graf will tank in the General; it doesn't take very many "RINOS" to do to job in this district - not many at all. But it is moot. I would be surprised if Graf gets more than 40% in the primary.
