As a simple man, I have only five issues:

National Security and the aggressive pursuit of the war against Jihad.

Seal the border and grant NO AMNESTY.

Appoint strict constructionists to the USSC.

Reduce BOTH taxes and spending.

Win, so that we have a snowballs chance for the above.

It's now a two man race in the GOP between Rudy and Fred. I could live with either based on the issues that matter to me. I believe either could win the general election as Hillary and Obama are un-electable. Perhaps Gore is un-electable now that he's a movie maker.

I have high confidence for the Presidency in 2008...but I'm really concerned about the Senate. Only about 1/2 to 2/3 of the GOP caucus is on the right side of my issues and a handful of Dims on the right side of the big ones.

I advocate we focus on these RINOs in the Senate and drive them out of town.

Which is not only undefined is also unwinnable in its current situation

Seal the border and grant NO AMNESTY.

Agreed

Appoint strict constructionists to the USSC.

Unfortunately what too many Republicans see as 'constructionists' are nothing more than activist judges for conservatism. I'll take a few judges that recognize federalism as a concept instead of those that advocate every issue becoming a federal one.

Reduce BOTH taxes and spending.

Of which neither Fred, Rudy (excuse me St. Rudy), or 8 of the other candidates have given us specifics on. Nope, just high minded platitudes with no specific departments they would cut
