And many of the most active freepers are pushing it that way.
IMHO, it's because they are Bush loyalists.
Any GOP candidate who is against comprehensive immigration reform or Tougher border security is trashed. Tancredo and Hunter, for example.

It would make Bush look bad if the establishment supported someone who opposed his comprehensive immigration reform.
It's all about Bush.
