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.
If you can’t talk them out of it, we’ll just have to pray them out of it....maybe blinders will fall off better that way. : )
lol.
Now, that would be some kind of endorsement, wouldn’t it.
Wonder when they’ll be endorsing the globalists?
If Hunter doesn't get the nomination-that's exactly what we'll do.
It is not “isolationist” to want America to stop selling our national future to the Chinese Communist Party, in exchange for trinkets at Walmart.
It is not even “protectionism”.
It is simply what must be done.

Go Duncan Hunter!
I'll certainly do that. :)
What’s “snotty” to you is wisdom to a great many.
In any event, I’ll take her “snotty attitude” any day over the arrogant, elitist, attitudes shared by all the anti-American, foreign loving globalists who are destroying this country.
On the issues, Duncan Hunter has been my guy from the get-go.
Unfortunately, he comes across as “the angry white guy”. Sorry to admit it, but he is unelectable.
He has a face made for radio, and a voice made for newspapers.
Huh?
He seems like Dad.
A great many are and have been doing that.....I think it’s our only chance any longer.
She’s got to be one of the few conservatives who is actually paying attention to what is going on. I truly believe that if you separate out those who would sell their souls to beat Hillary, the remainder of the front runner lovers must be woefully uninformed about their candidates. Phyllis Schlafly does her homework. She is one sharp lady and a true conservative.

You just might get your wish! I would be joining them along with millions of other voters.
We can’t have both? Not everyone can qualify for high tech jobs, and there is no shame in making cheap toys and toothpaste.
-
then our goal should be to increase the number of high tech jobs and not be so upset about all the toy jobs.
...and 40 million+ voters too.

“If the trial lawyers support Fred”
I’ve yet to see a trial lawyer endorse ANY Republican, let alone Thompson.
No. You assume incorrectly that it must be one or the other. As I said, not everyone has the qualifications for the high tech jobs you refer to. For those who don't qualify (which is undoubtedly a majority segment of the working public) manufacturing jobs are a helluva step up from McDonalds.
“If Hunter doesn’t get the nomination-that’s exactly what we’ll do.”
And we’ll light a candle for all three percent of you.
I have heard comments like that before but I guess I don’t see him that way. He comes across as serious yet with warmth and humor. Watch the eyes. He connects with whom he is talking to.
The fact that you think he is unelectable is just your opinion. I think he is highly electable and would cream the democrats in a general election.
“......and 40 million+ voters too.”
Evangelicals are not mindless drones with no will of their own, and if you think Dobson is going to make all of them stay home, you’re as deluded as the Paulistinians. Many of them are even willing to vote for Romney or Rudy rather than sit back and accept a fate that includes Hillary.
