Chuck and Mike are worthy of our respect around here, even if we disagree on some issues. If Mike is surging, more power to him. But I think what we are seeing is a re-alignment of the Sam Brownback supporters. I have had enough of conservatives eating their own. Some people around here believe that I am being too hard on Fred Thompson. Fred Thompson is a fine man, but a poor candidate to advance our agenda in the general election. Mike would do a better job of it than Fred, all things considered.

If Mike is surging, more power to him. But I think what we are seeing is a re-alignment of the Sam Brownback supporters.

I don't hate him. But I listed why I'm dubious of him as a conservative candidate. He's just not very conservative. He is a candidate of the Religious Right with very little broad appeal. And I think you nailed it by saying he had scooped up Brownback's supporters. Even if Switchback endorses Giuliani, few of his voters will follow him. With Duncan and Tancredo taking matching funds, they can stay in the race so it's unlikely their voters with switch to Huckabee.

That remark about not being the mean guy really torqued me. That was after Bush insulted us because we wouldn't tolerate his shamnesty and Rudy's insults to the "Know-Nothing wing" of the party which I really despised.

I disagree about Fred. I think he is a better candidate but haven't yet decided who I'll end up voting for in my late primary. Probably, it won't matter because it'll all be over long before I get to vote.

Post 3 is a national security issue. It should not be a political issue. If Huckabee has a problem with that, then he should not have been in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grant system.

If Chuck Norris wants to sell his credibility to support a grant recipient of the RJW Foundation grant system, well, he put his military oath below his price.

Post 3 is a risk to all our lives.

For instance, Georgia SB 529 seeks to suck up immigrant’s hard-earned income by taxing our remittance wire transfers to our families back home. We are displaced by US economic policies, harassed and kept in a state of constant fear to ensure a cheap and disposable labor supply for US corporations. Immigrant communities in GA and around the country challenge all these, and we say “No Taxation Without Representation.” -Colin Rajah (National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Chair Program Working Group)

All things considered, no. I can’t believe the gall of these RINOs who lay to waste their party’s fortunes and think they deserve a PROMOTION ! Fred didn’t leave wreckage wherever he went. Huckster retrograded the AR GOP in stark contrast to nearly every other Southern state.
