"This is deliberate. The media wants a candidate easily defeatable by Hillary. If Fred was that, they'd be forcing his candidacy down our throats. Because he is the only viable Conservative than can beat Hillary, they'll do the worst thing possible you can do to a candidate, ignore them."

For examples, see: Rudy "Drag Queen" Giuliani, Mitt "Gay Marriage" Romney or Mike "Open Borders for Jesus" Huckabee.

Mike "Open Borders for Jesus" Huckabee.

I hear a lot about this. I think it all stems back to his comment that he'd allow the children of illegals to have an education in the public schools or qualify for scholarships in college. Said something about not holding the sins of the parents against the children. Is that all of it? Or have there been other statements indicating a RINO-like desire to open "welcoming arms" to folks who will do the jobs that Americans don't want to do...

I'm a high school teacher deep in the inner city and I've been there for almost ..... lessee .... (gulp) 12 years of an 18 year career. Maybe that experience has mollified my views on this but I kinda sorta support that notion. Probably unwilling to do flame-war battle to the death with other freepers, but I'm not terribly uncomfortable with that as long as it's NOT in conjunction with some sort of amnesty program! IOW if a kid's parents are undetected, let the kid continue but don't contrive some sort of defense to keep the whole family in the USA if there's been INS action to expel the family. Does that make sense? Probably not.

I wouldn't be upset with a Huckabee candidacy. He's extremely electable especially when contrasted to anybody the RATS run especially Hillary. His only "sticking" point would be, I would think, his position as a Baptist minister. My own father-in-law holder of the Navy Cross from WWII has reservations on this. He's 85 and can't stop raging about Jimmy the Peanut Carter. Carter was a southern Governor who pushed his Christianity with a shovel. I've tried to point out Carter's ties to CFR and the trilateralists.

I don't want to jump the gun here, but has anybody started envisioning potential ticket match ups? Who would provide the best balance to insure victory? Any VP candidates floating around besides potential running mates to be found among the candidates themselves?
