"But other than that, what do you think about Fred? ;-)"

Other than his votes on international trade, his pro-cheap-labor-flood immigration votes, his vote in favor of the McCain-Feingold Act, and his work for the S&L bailout, his record looks pretty good (much better than Giuliani's).

IMO, Duncan and Gingrich look like much better candidates for defense, national cohesiveness and conservatism in general, though. I can't find any defense related experience in Fred's background. ...only legal work, acting, and a couple of senatorial terms. He's been a politician in more ways than one (mainly judicial, it appears). That's for sure.

Well at least he has improved his stance in immigration.
He wants to build a fence and secure the borders then take care of the problem of the illegals who are here already.
