Huckabee signed off on the NumbersUSA & Jeff Session pledge against illegals.

All talk designed to resurrect his pathetic campaign. Huck's record on illegals speaks for itself.

Minuteman co-founder James Gilchrist’s endorsed presidential candidate Mike Huckabee
He supported the former governor’s immigration policies. He said Mr. Huckabee’s immigration plan was most likely to halt “an invasion” of illegal aliens.

Wow, Tancredo told Neil Cavuto that he could never support McCain.

Below is from George Washington’s Farewell Address!

Warns against the party system.
“It serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration....
agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one....
against another....
it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption...
thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.”

>is hating mcCain reason enough for any conservative to not vote for him and risk letting our brave heroes in the military be in obama or hillary's hands ? would a true conservative be really willing to risk that ?

i sure as hell hope this is given proper consideration by everyone who calls themselves a conservative<

Since I consider myself a true conservative I will answer your challenge. I hadn't actually considered what the difference would be before this but the one major difference that I do see is that under obama or hillary's hands the troops are more likely to spend much less time in actual combat. Their chances of being wounded or killed will drop signifigantly! Dammit, I wanted to send in an absentee ballot with a write in for Ron Paul but now I just may have to vote for obama or hillary.

See the military industrial complex wants to keep the fighting going on as long as possible. Now you might ask why? Money and more money is being made every minute the fighting continues. I read somewhere that it amounts to about $5000 a second.!!

Check this out.

>>Also on Capitol Hill, a study by a nonpartisan research group said that as of 2006, 151 members of Congress had as much as $196 million collectively invested in companies doing business with the Defense Department, earning millions since the onset of the Iraq war.

The review of lawmakers’ 2006 financial disclosure statements by the Washington-based Center for Responsive Politics suggests that members’ holdings could pose a conflict of interest as they decide the fate of Iraq war spending.

Several members earning money from these contractors had plum committee or leadership assignments, including Lieberman, Democratic Sen. John Kerry and House Republican Whip Roy Blunt.<< http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1996605/posts

No Sir,you did not answer the question.

Thank you for illustrating my point Republicans are in a serious state of denial that will be the downfall of the party and the nation.

If you can't admit that Pelosi,Reid and all of the now majority is worse for our country than when Republicans had a slight majority I have nothing else to say to you.

You haven't said much all along considering you're refusal, like many other Republicans, to see the GOP has been infiltrated by socialists. Thanks for nothing.

My question to you was a yes or no question. You used the old liberal dance of not ever answering a direct question but give a lenghty non-answer.

You keep pretending there is a difference between the socialist GOP and the socialist Democrats if it makes you feel better. Good for you.

If there was a credible conservative third party candidate, you’d have a point. But there isn’t. So, Tom Tancredo is where a lot of us are: struggling with some really lousy choices. I still don’t know that I can bring myself to vote for McCain, but I can at least understand how others can make that decision.

That would be an accurate statement if we had a two party system but unfortunately the GOP has been so intent over the years to expand its voter base by appeasing socialists that the party has incrementally aligned itself with the socialist Democrats to the point where they are essentially one party.

I don't know how you define "credible" but voting for a conservative in another party is not only far more credible than the socialist candidates in the GOP or Democrat parties but will also restore the two party system.

I am not pretending anything. It's been fun even if you won't answer my question.

There’s a whole great big nation here at home, that McCain is ready to surrender ASAP. Frankly that trumps the WOT in Iraq and Afghanistan for me, as much as I support it too.

Some FReepers are happy that they vote ‘for the war’ not realizing that they are greedy politicians voting to enlarge their personal bank accounts. Not the type of men I would consider to be patriots by any definition of the word.
