Here are some quotes from your Country Club heroes:
"A government powerful enough to find an illegal immigrant is also powerful enough to find your bank accounts." - Grover Norquist
"Nobody really minds people sneaking across the border and working at 7-Eleven." - Grover Norquist
"Illegal immigration is part of the price we pay for being both a prosperous and a free country, and I'm not willing to sacrifice some of our freedoms to try to keep out immigrants, especially when I don't think it's going to work very well." - Stephen Moore
"Congress has to act and Congress isn't going to act if the only people it hears from are employers who don't want to be sanctioned." - Stephen Moore
And that's just from one website -

Look for more if you can stomach it.
Your heroes are pigs who will sell out their country for just one extra buck. And now they're gonna be pushing Rudy.
So I answer your questions, but you won’t asnwer mine?
Are you a socialist?
Hank
Maybe some aren’t fit to be FReepers, however it’s not because they live in small towns. Or is it your contention that FR is an urbanite forum? Note that I live in a city that’s almost exactly the same size as San Diego, and it’s a part of a much larger GMA.
I just noticed that you have a little crush on Rudy:
"Rudys fine with me." - County Agent Hank Kimball, November 5, 2007
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1921174/posts?page=121#121
"Oh, Rudy, it turns me on when you talk tough like that. Do it again, Rudy. You make me feel sooooooo safe. Oh, Ruuuuuuuuudy."
ROFL!
I guess that explains why you're so protective of the Country Club for Growth (and Rudy) poofs.
You’re really juvenile.
If you really look at what I’ve written, it will be very obvious to you that:
- My first choice was Tancredo
- My current choice is Thompson
- I will support WHOEVER becomes the party’s nominee in the general election. Including Rudy. Even including Romney, who I like even less.
You have a problem with this?
Hank
What can anyone possibly say to anyone who. like you, says, "Rudys fine with me" with a straight face?
There's really nothing that can be usefully said. In time, your infatuation with Rudy will pass.
Why do you bother responding to me when you ignore what I say?
Did you see that I support Thompson?
How does this qualify as an “enfatuation” with Rudy? I’m no more enfatuated with him than I am Mitt Romney or John Cox OR WHATEVER REPUBLICAN GETS THE NOMINATION.
I would vote for you over Hillary. I’d vote for a junior Republican city councilman from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Let me type this slowly so you can understand.
I support F-r-e-d T-h-o-m-p-s-o-n.
I will vote for a-n-y R-e-p-u-b-l-i-c-a-n in the GENERAL ELECTION over Hillary.
Is that really that difficult for you to take in?
Hank
Having studied and kept up daily with world affairs, politics, etc. for over 45 years (including the over 40 years I worked full time.) ret. as a Legal Support Asst. with the County Attys. I find many FReepers base their comments on emotion, the area they live in, many not having background in the give and take of dealing with
a city of over 1,250,000 population and San Diego County over 3 million.
Also the largest concentration of military.
Also tens of thousands of illegals costing us mega millions a year.
I have relatives and know many others
who live in small towns and those who don’t venture out of their area see life in a very narrow way.
A very fortress mentality.

But, I'm not going to judge you harshly for that because I know you're in love . . .
. . . with Rudy. ROFL
Night, Hank. Turn off the lights before you leave.
Do your parents know you’re on the computer?
Hank
Good.
What about Thompson?
I’d look myself but it’s members only.
Interestingly they have an article on the AMT. I hope they noticed that Fred Thompson has put out a tax plan that addresses the AMT.
Mom said to tell you that your hero Rudy is a pervert. ROFL
Why are you attacking the south. I don’t like everything about the south but our country would sure be in a political mess without it. Also, why attack rural states - it is the rural areas that keep this country civilized.
San Diego is a much saner city then most and seems to be quite conservative. However, big cities are typically bastions of liberalism. Portland and Los Angeles are the reason that Oregon and California are in the horrible political situation that they are today. I am not sure what you see in big cities - they certainly have been mortal enemies of the conservative cause.
If I can find a record dating back far enough to get any rating on Fred I'll let you know.
Just for the record, I'd support either a Thompson/Hunter or a Hunter/Thompson with the same amount of zeal.
Free trade is ‘globalist’? I thought Conservatives were the party of free trade while it was the democrats (cuz of the unions) who were the protectionists and isolationists. Big government is required to squash free trade.
It is not accurate to state the CFG supports ‘open borders’. They support free market economic policies with limited government. I am a regular reader of their blog (IMO it is the best blog on the internet) and hardly ever see an article on immigration, I think it is a minor issue to them, but, incidently, I think Moore’s (who hasn’t been president for the past few years) comments in this article are dead on.
The article stated the following:
“Last fall the Club for Growth worked against conservative republican candidate Robert Vasquez, an ardent illegal alien opponent by funding his opposition.”
And in turn got Bill Sali, whom this author is apparently ignorant of. IMO, Bill Sali is one of the best represenatives in Congress. FYI:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Sali
“Sali was first elected to the Idaho House of Representatives in 1990. During his time there, he gained a reputation as a staunch conservative on social and economic issues, frequently drawing the ire of the more moderate Republican house leadership.[2][3]”
The CFG elects true conservatives who will stick it to the Republican leadership, who represent libertarian economic policies. Their criticism of Duncan Hunter is spot on, IMO.
Last fall the Club for Growth worked against conservative republican candidate Robert Vasquez, an ardent illegal alien opponent by funding his opposition.

Sure.
Robert Vasquez is one of the most self-centered, useless people I’ve ever seen in politics. He is no conservative, not even having a basic understanding of the fundamental principles the country was built upon.
Conversely, Bill Sali is one of our finest, most principled, Congressmen.
In this case, as in a number of others, CfG made the right call.
Another case in point: Steve King of Iowa. Without the Club, he would not have originally won that seat. And he’s about as good as it gets on most issues conservatives care about.
Is the Club perfect? Far from it. Have they invested more money than anyone else in defeating RINOs over the last decade? Yes, they have.
Thanks. Steve King BUMP!
But I am sure not in agreement with their assessment of Hunter.
