Last time around Jim Gilchrist supported “Mike Huckabee who is the worst GOP candidate on border security in the race for president. As Ark. gov. Huckster Huckabee assisted with the importation of illegals and used state funds to help them find jobs.”

I could be wrong, but I am not so sure that Mr. Gilchrist’s views are in line with many of us here on illegal aliens. And maybe his endorsement didn’t help Huckabee any more than it seems to be helping Gov. Perry.
Yes, you could be. You may recall that the Huckabee endorsement was in 2007, and Gilchrist was blasted for it, deservedly. When Gilchrist endorsed Perry in 2010 and then again this year he'd had plenty of time to contemplate his '07 mistake and exercise due diligence. I suspect he did. In fairness, I too could be wrong, but for now I'll take the word of the founder of the Minutemen and a decorated Vietnam combat veteran until I'm convinced otherwise.
