Why worry about the budget..the borders,,,articulating a conservative vision .....the WOT

The issues you list are vitally important. We were being asked about Allen's positions on the moral issues and were responding to those questions. No one meant to imply that the areas you list aren't critical.

His 2006 re-election website was just launched this week and I'm hoping his staff will continue to add more detailed information regarding policy. You should find some helpful information there regarding stances on issues nonetheless.

As regards immigration, you may have seen this article posted earlier: George Allen Splits with Bush on Immigration .

Another source of information is his U.S. Senate site

...likely 2008 presidential candidate to back an "enforcement first" approach to border security.

The above is quoted from the article you cited. The problem here is that we need a nominee who is going to take an "enforcement only" approach to border security, not an "enforcement first" approach. 27% of the prison population consists of illegal aliens compared to 3% of the general population. If we ship illegals back home only to wink, nod, and let them return as "guest workers", we've accomplished nothing.

The OP just commented on how nice Allen's family looked.
Of all the threats and issues facing this country the only issue posters discussed was his stance on abortion....with a little gay marriage thrown in.

I can bring up that in 08 voters will have deep concerns over the budget..the borders,,,articulating a conservative vision. Whether the man or woman we elect has the leadership skills to ride out a crisis.
When it comes to Allen I see someone who has a famous daddy and let's just say he didn't have to work his way through school.....he is even holding a football on his website. Maybe he will change my mind in the next 2 years. I'd like to see some history of overcoming a crisis.

But to the posters on this thread there is only one issue...abortion.

That will not be the case for the majority of voters in 08.
