"I congratulate Mr. Graf on his victory in the Republican primary. However, there are such profound and fundamental differences between his views and mine on several key issues that I would not be true to my own principles were I to endorse him now for the General election in November." -Jim Kolbe

What are the profound and fundamental differences?

This is one crappy statement from Kolbe.

It is too bad that it looks like this means the Dems will win this seat.

It'll be nice seeing Kolbe go out the door. For profound differences.

Reason #643 why liberal scumbags like Kolbe are a cancer in the GOP and do far more harm than good, "good" being one vote for Speaker.

Graf was pretty vicious when he ran against Kolbe in the primary. While I disagree with Kolbe's decision, I think Graf is largely the author of his own problems.

True RINO. And yet the party tells us we need to get behind the nominee. Kolbe can take a hike.

Kolbe is weak; an appeaser; a back-scratcher. Kolbe can now retire to his Washington penthouse and do what most of the failed or unelectable do, lobby. Heaven help us - we have not seen nor heard the last from this RINO enabler to illegal aliens. By the way, what were his ties to Jack Abramoff?

It is always demanded that conservatives support even the worst of the RINOs.

The RINOs, on the other hand, almost never support conservatives.

How odd. RINO's always say it's essential to support the party even if you have to hold your nose. That doesn't apply when it's a conservative candidate?

Graf is the candidate. Get with it and endorse him.

Kolbe should of supported Graf. Heck if I lived in the district, I would hold my nose and vote for Graf, even though he is a bombastic bridge burner ala Tancredo.

BTW, how come the silence of the DNC putting $175,000 into the GOP primary attacking Graf's main opponent Huffman, while Graf tacitly approved the DNC tactics with his silence and non-denunciation of the DNC tactics.
