No National Minuteman Group has endorsed Mike Huckabee.
One individual Minuteman has personally endorsed him.
For the sake of clarity, it is important to note that the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC), the nation's largest Minuteman organization, is a 501(C)4 non-profit organization and cannot and does not endorse any candidate for public office. MCDC is not associated with Mr. Jim Gilchrist, who today endorsed Mike Huckabee for president.
Jim Gilchrist’s erstwhile Minuteman Project is itself an organization which by its own representations as a non-profit civic group cannot legally endorse candidates. It does not have any volunteers who observe illegal border activity. It has no border fence building projects. Jim Gilchrist here speaks only for Jim Gilchrist, he does not speak for the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, nor is he nationally representative of most patriots in the "Minuteman movement" – who under no circumstances could ignore the failed record nor endorse the duplicitous “plan” recently rolled out by candidate Mike Huckabee. The national media needs to recognize that Jim Gilchrist’s endorsement is his own personal statement, nothing more.

More and more people desire to see this country lead by a Christian man who also believes the Tax system needs to be overhauled with the Fair-Tax plan.
Huckabee is leading the polls by DOUBLE DIGITS in my state.
I desire the country to be led by a man who believes in God but doesn’t feel the need to make every speech a sermon.
I desire the country to be led by a man who won’t let it be overrun with illegals, or tax me to death. I’d also prefer he not try to tell me what to eat, or smoke, or let violent criminals out of jail because he feels bad for them.
Don’t forget the MSM.
I posted this yesterday. I am shocked at both Gilchrist and Simcox. I just don’t know anymore.
:(
“Talk about strange bedfellows. Consider Barry Goldwater Jr.; Minutemen founder Chris Simcox; Democratic State Rep. Pete Rios; and Carlos Flores, head of the Mexican General Consulate, together at a table to talk immigration over sandwiches.
And earlier in the day, Simcox, a controversial figure who is credited and criticized for being the first to organize a citizen border patrol, made what some found to be stunning statements: He supports public education for the children of illegal immigrants and sees the fix as not just an issue of enforcement, but of reforming Mexico’s economy and basing the number of U.S. visas on the nation’s labor supply.”

I must confess that you are correct.
Hunter is consistent.

According to Intrade, the winner of yesterday’s GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

From AiT, overseas.....
LOL. That is hilarious!
WTH?
I’m tuned
Hunter and Tancredo have not wavered a single inch. Both true rock-ribbed Conservatives, and worthy of support.
“not just an issue of enforcement, but of reforming Mexico’s economy and basing the number of U.S. visas on the nation’s labor supply.”
This part I am ok with as long as there is real enforcement, but the bit about free education for illegals....
I knew there was something strange about Gilchrist’s endorsement.
Glad you enjoyed it. I almost fell off my chair when I saw it on Pookie Toons.
