BTW, Bill Salier was the primary candidate for Tom Harkin’s senate seat in 2002. He lost to Greg Ganske in the primary.

Bio:

Bill was born and raised in Nora Springs, Iowa, where he now farms his family farm. He graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Agriculture Business. He currently farms 300 acres of crop ground and operates a farrow to feeder pig business.

Bill is a former Marine who faithfully served our country while on special assignment with Marine Presidential Security Forces at Camp David and as Squad Leader in the Infantry. Bill completed his Tour-of-Duty in Somalia. In fact, he requested a six-month extension of his Tour to allow him to remain with his men, when their unit was assigned to Somalia.

Bill has sworn to uphold his Marine oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. He has committed himself to that oath, not only during his service in the Corps, but for life.

Why not put his support behind the other border security Hawk that is still running: Duncan Hunter?

Looks like the troops aren’t following the Tanc down the pit.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

In my opinion this should be a Thompson, Tank, Hunter race. The other guys aren’t even an option. Though I’m supporting Fred, Hunter in reality is my first choice. Sad to say, but the MSM still carries alot of weight, and Hunter basically doesn’t exist in their eyes.

I agree, the MSM is going out of their way to ignore Hunter. What I find surprising is the kind of treatment this candidate has received here on FR.

The last thing I did as I was moving out of Iowa was cast a vote for Bill Salier. I would’ve loved to see him oust Harkin.

Interesting that Tanc’s people are willing to state publicly that they’re confused by his endorsement choice.

My neighbor supports Thompson also....I think Tancredo has a little more clout than an underling.

I think they are embarrassed by it. I would be.
