Case in point: As goes RI(nos), so goes the nation.
Funny I listen to Hugh a lot. He sure got on the “no amnesty bill” bandwagon just in time. For months he has been ridiculing Tancredo and other supporters of tough enforcement of our existing laws. He has refused to even discuss the border patrol agents who were targeted and are now jailed for doing their jobs.
In summary I find Hugh’s conservative credentials less then stellular. I was represented by Gordon Smith for a long time and he’s a good man. I’d be a lot more likely to vote for Smith who came out against continuing in Iraq some time ago, than for the ‘open borders’ crowd. Where is Hugh’s outrage of Arlen Spector, who today introduced a trillion dollar Global Warming bill?
Hugh might like to redefine the Republican Party as the party of the War on Terror but there has always been a significant thread of opposition within our party. Ron Paul (who I do not support) represents this thread in the current election. Pat Buchanan represented it in the run up to the war. His magazine has carried this viewpoint for years.
Not all Republicans agree with Hugh’s hyperventilated view of Iraq.
