They are optimists. Yes, Romney might do what he promised them. But I prefer people whose track record gives you better than a hope they will do what they promise.
I think that a lot of prominent conservatives are going Romney because of his looks and his voice. He looks and sounds better than any of them. But Fred Thompson would be a better choice to lead this country.
Do I see a trend here?
Romney N.E.
Hillary N.E./South
Clinton South
Carter South
Paul South
Rudy N.E.
Bush 1 N.E./South
Bush 2 N.E./South
Obama N.E.
Thompson South
Huckabee South
How come all our presidents and top tier candidates are from the South or the North East? Who decided that? We out here in fly over country are getting tired of politicians from the South and N.E. deciding what happens in our homes. Most of them have never been here. Maybe that’s why Reagan ‘got it’. We’ve had a long stretch of no representation. I want my turn.
Reagan California West.............Why don’t we try that again?
DUNCAN HUNTER 2008!!!! IT’S ABOUT TIME!
I’m all for it. You win... ;-)
Unfortunately for him, Romney didn't convince Tancredo's Iowa statewide campaign chairman - which is actually a much more salient endorsement, since this man is a big-shot in Iowa conservative circles. Tancredo himself, well, his endorsement of a pro-illegal candidate doesn't seem to be doing much to convince conservative voters for whom II is a big, big issue.
Talk to us after you've replaced "The Governator" and the two harpy Senators you keep sending back to DC.
That sounds pretty conservative.
(Huck must’ve had someone else write it for him.)
I think he’s saying all illegals must register in 120 days or face no possibility of legal entry for 10 years.
I did. Everytime I see others characterize him, Huckabee looks bad. When Huckabee speaks for himself I am in agreement by and large. I read his Foreign Affairs piece on the website and it made good sense to me; meanwhile the American Spectator article treated it as if it were uninformed gibberish.
Exactly. It demonstrates, given Romney's endless lying,
that the Mythster is 'believable' consistent with his possible sociopathic behavior.
One hypothesis (calling Dr. Krauthammer, please pick up the white courtesy phone)
is that he may relish control by political domination.
Like sexual sociopaths, Myth is believable (eg. Tancredo signing off to him)
and by controlling and dominating his political flock,
in his own mind, Mitt "attains spirituality".
“Talk to us after you’ve replaced “The Governator” and the two harpy Senators you keep sending back to DC.”
Right! Like any state is doing any better? and “you’ didn’t put Arnie in. It was typical Rino/Bush supporters, kinda like you.
Repeating a lie over & over doesn't make it true, tompster
Wow... now I'm a RINO. Nothing like resorting to ad hominem attacks there.
My point still stands -- if you want California to be treated as a Reagan conservative state again, then work harder to get rid of the liberals (from both parties) who run and represent your state. I certainly don't ask for folks to treat Maryland as any sort of conservative bastion, that would be crazy.
Meanwhile, when Arnold was getting the governorship, who was your man Hunter backing? Conservative state senator Tom McClintock? Nope, sorry. He was backing Rick Riordan, liberal republican LA mayor.
Clean your own house before you come tell us how messy ours is.
I’m still confused.
So if they register in 120 days and leave - they can enter again within 10 years.
If they don’t register and leave - we’d never know it....
If they don’t register and are caught here, then they can’t come back for 10 years.
And if they do register and are caught here, then they can’t come back for 10 years?
The last two scenarios don’t make sense to me. The registration process doesn’t seem to accomplish anything. Unless I’m missing something.
“3. Prevent Amnesty
Policies that promote or tolerate amnesty will be rejected.
Propose to provide all illegal immigrants a 120-day window to register with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services and leave the country. Those who register and return to their home country will face no penalty if they later apply to immigrate or visit; those who do not return home will be, when caught, barred from future reentry for a period of 10 years.”
I don’t trust the text of his ‘Prevent Amnesty’ titled paragraph. The only people for whom this registration thing is a carrot are those who have been charged with a crime or an immigration violation - they get to apply for reentry in the future without the mark against them they currently have. Those who have never been caught have nothing to gain by registering, they can simply leave without doing paperwork as it offers no advantage over not coming to our attention in the first place. Smells like there is a trick in here somewhere.
MORE MYTH from MYTH ROMNEY
If the GOP has Romney anywhere near the ticket, the GOP is finished.
