From poster EternalVigilance:
A man named Ed Gillespie, whose lobbying firm consists of him and Jack Quinn, Bill Clinton's lawyer, has taken very large amounts of money from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to promote Open Borders.
Ed has shuttled between his cashcow K Street firm and the RNC and this White House for the last six years.
And here's the kicker: Ed Gillespie is now the head of George Allen's PAC.
I think folks should know.
George Allen is an empty suit. His national security credentials are nonexistent. The only true conservative who looks like he might be running is Newt and, if you saw meet the depressed this morning, he makes a lot of sense.
But given his total lack of national security credentials and charisma deficit, I'd have to seriously consider McCain over Allen.
Allen as the nominee pretty much assures a Dem in the White House.
Recently Allen had the audacity to suggest that the US should relax visa requirements for countries that had failed to meet minimum requirements for such relaxed standards.
Allen doesn't get it. He has no national security credentials, has expressed no significant national security thoughts, has introduced no significant national security legislation, and has held no senate leadership positions on national security-related committees.
He is not what we need in this age.
His views on social issues are solid and his fiscal views are good as well. But he falls woefully short on the only issue that really matters while we are in a World War.
As a resident of Virginia, I prefer Warner over Allen any day...

thanks for the 411!
Allen is tied to W. He has gone along with him on all his big spending bills.
A big spending, semi-articulate, Southern, GOP insider is not what the country will vote for in 08.
He's worth about 30% of the vote.
