Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly is expressing strong dissatisfaction with the top-tier Republican presidential candidates. She also questions the validity of the results of the Values Voters straw poll on Saturday.
Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly says most of the GOP candidates who have been designated frontrunners are globalists. According to Schlafly, candidates Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain, and Mike Huckabee all "need to wake up" and realize they need the votes of Reagan Democrats to win.
"I think that's a great mistake for the Republicans. I feel that it's very important that they reach out to people on the jobs issue," Schlafly shares. "I was quite disappointed with the debate that was broadcast from Michigan, which is an economically depressed state, and they didn't appear to have any sympathy or compassion for all the millions of people who've lost their jobs that have moved to China."
In the straw poll taken over the weekend in conjunction with the Values Voters Summit, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney topped former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee by a mere 30 votes. Schlafly contends that Huckabee was the winner among conference attendees who heard the weekend's speeches.
"The straw poll was interesting," she offers. "People were able to vote on it even though they weren't here. They could vote for the prior two weeks before the conference took place and before they heard any of the speakers." And in her opinion, that means one cannot say a whole lot about the validity of the poll.
Schlafly believes all that can be deduced from the poll is that so-called "values voters" are still shopping for their candidate. And she says while social conservatives are divided in many ways, they all agree they cannot support a candidate who is not pro-life. The Eagle Forum founder tells OneNewsNow the only GOP hopefuls she is comfortable with are Congressmen Duncan Hunter of California and Tom Tancredo of Colorado.
Indeed!..Please Phyllis, endorse Hunter!!

“Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly is expressing strong dissatisfaction with the top-tier Republican presidential candidates”
I am in agreement with Phyllis Schlafly. She is a wise lady!!
Indeed, it’s time for her to endorse Duncan Hunter.
She was great on the ERA. I cant imagine where we’d be without her; probably a lot more like Europe as far as workplace regulation,etc
“She’s comfortable with sure losers.”
No, she isn’t. Didn’t you read the article? She said she wasn’t happy with the so-called front runners. She likes Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo, the true conservatives, just like her. She has discriminating tastes.
She may do just that. :o)
bumping that!
A globalist is someone who would sell out his country for a buck.
Bump to Guenevere!
Schlafly is just like Dobson, trying to play kingmaker. I’ll vote for who I like, Phylis. And you sound too much like Buchanan with the isolationist BS too.
“Anyone who has bad words for her is a DU plant.”
A real DUmmie? I agree.
“Hmmm...Odd, where have I heard that before?”
From the other mentally impaired people that actually believe Hunter and Tancredo can win the presidency, much less the nomination.
“On the one hand, she wants a social Conservative who appeals to values-voters, and on the other, one who appeals to job-concerned Reagan Democrats.”
That would be Duncan Hunter.
Well, her kingmaking is no more or less relevant than that of a leader of any other organization. If the trial lawyers support Fred, and the log cabiners support Rudy, etc, so be it. The Eagle Forum has more standing with me.
Nor any friend as well if I can talk them out of it.
I mighta missed that.
“Phyllis Schlafly is a hero to all conservatives.”
She was instrumental in the Reagan Revolution. We’ll forever be grateful for that.
“Anyone who has bad words for her is a DU plant.”
And that’s where you’re full of crap. Even people that did great things can go on to do stupid things. History is littered with them. Grant became one of the most corrupt presidents in history. Barry Goldwater went on to endorse gay rights. And Schlafly has developed a snotty attitude...”If I don’t get the candidate that I want exactly, I’m gonna take my ball and go home”.
She shouldn’t let the door hit her ass on the way out. And she can take Dobson with her.
As do all those who are anti-globalist....something foreign to the Council on Foreign Relations (of which Thompson is a member), the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the rest of the same disgusting anti-American organizations.
If she’s as true a conservative as she appears, Hunter will be her choice. No ifs ands or buts.
I doubt if the CFR or the WSJ or the NRC is gonna endorse Hunter anytime soon.
