Who was the only Presidential Candidate who committed to Senator Jeff Sessions’ 15 point action plan to restore law and order to America’s broken immigration system?

Mike Huckabee.

It’s outrageous that despite Huckabee’s commitment, in writing, would go unappreciated by you. Huckabee pledged to build the fences on both the northern and southern borders by July 1, 2010. He should be applauded, not ridiculed.

It’s not often that I disagree with you, Michelle, but on this post you are totally wrong.

Here’s what Huckabee said about immigration during his CPAC speech on February 9th:

Let me also say that it is right for our country, in believing in our sovereignty, to demand that we have something that every nation on earth accepts and, in fact, assumes would be a part of its nation’s essentials — a secure border. How we can ever believe that we can be a sovereign nation or a free nation without securing our borders is beyond me.

And ladies and gentlemen, our national government has miserably failed to do something that most of us all across this country realize. This is a great nation that welcomes people. We’re not hostile. We’ve always been a nation of immigrants. Most of us come from ancestors who immigrated here from somewhere. But we’re also a nation of law, and we believe that if you knock on our front door and you’re hungry, chances are we’ll ask you to sign the guest book and we’ll try to feed you and help you. But if you break through the window in the middle of the night, God help you. (Cheers, applause.)

The sad thing is when our own government puts the ladder up against the window. It’s a little hard to blame the person climbing up the ladder as much as it is the government who puts the ladder and says, “Go ahead and climb.” (Cheers, applause.) Let’s fix what’s wrong.

Buckaroo has just informed he that he has lost his posting priviledges here.

But why I think that the RINO must win:

I’ll still vote, because I know with a solid Democrat Congress and a President Obama, every elderly lib on the SCOTUS will retire before 2010 so Obama can appoint more thirty-something Bader-Ginsburg ACLU attorneys, giving us four decades of at least four safely Marxist jurists on the bench, and will impose a health care entitlement for all that will guarantee there won’t be enough discretionary budget left in 2013 for a potential Republican POTUS to rebuild the military with after the cut-n-run from Iraq and Afghanistan and the continuation of the Clinton decimation of the military.

True, the defeat of the RINO Ford by Carter (Ford became VP when Agnew resigned because the Dem leadership in the Senate informed Nixon that Ford was the only Republican they would confirm) led to Reagan.

It also led to the Iran hostage crisis, the birth of Islamic terrorism aimed directly at the US (sure, the PLO was around, but they were more Marxist than Islamic then), and while Carter didn’t appoint a libtard SCOTUS justice (he didn’t have time), he did fill the federal courts with many judicial activists.

Left you a comment at Gulf Coast Pundit in the thread based on this thread.

OK, it would have been nice if the real conservatives had teamed up and chosen one candidate. But as it was, the Republican vote was split, between the pro-life lib who passed himself as a conservative (the Huckster), Tancredo, (who was probably not electable), Duncan Hunter (true conservative, tough on borders, Viet Nam vet who paid for law school with GI Bill money, and whom I sent money to), Romney, officially conservative on all issues but with a record that suggested his pro-life views might have developed for political reasons, and burdened by the percentage of voters who couldn’t vote for a Mormon, and Fred, who got in too late.

Leaving the undivided RINO, independent and Democrat vote for McCain.

If only Giuliani hadn’t adopted his flawed ‘wait ’til Florida’ strategy. Then he and McCain would have battled for the pro-national security but also pro-amnesty Democrat voters in the Republican primaries and caucuses, and Fred or Duncan or most likely Romney could have won the nomination.

But it should be no source of pride for McCain that he won only because the real Republicans split the Republican vote.

Then McCain just kept opening his fat mouth, and kept opening his fat mouth, and kept opening his fat mouth… etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

My son finally decided that the devil wasn’t better than Obama.

Not that Obama was better than the devil either… but, all things considered…

Thank you, McVain, for your big fat mouth and your inability to keep your mouth shut for your own benefit – because of your own big fat EGO!

Patrick Henry – It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. … Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things, which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. … Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

If Condi Rice is nominated for the VP Spot, I will vote McCain, along with if Pawlenty, Sanford, Jindal, or Thompson…or JC Watts.

nice

I’m tired of hoping that the Republican Party will ever recover its senses. Conservatives are like a battered wife in an abusive relationship with the GOP, except that we can’t even get a restraining order….

Global warming is at best, rather broad speculation. I’m not willing to put more into this until the science bears this out conclusively.

I cant really with everything. Should the permanent tax cut and the gains tax issue be true (i’d rather have proof, but if i take you at your word for now, thats fine), thats fine.

Cap and Trade, however, is not a benefit for everyone. I would direct you to something Rush Limbaugh has out on this:
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_051208/content/01125107.guest.html

The cap and trade system (other than being based on what is at worst a complete fraud, and at best with current science is unproven)…works like this:

http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/01/capandtrade101.html

Notice it says an 80% reduction. Do the math. You wouldnt be able to run anything in your home at that point. This is the cap and trade thats being kicked around. Not wanting that. You couldnt keep your refridgerator running for that percentage.

Actually, i can argue the CO2 angle. CO2 is not a pollutant. It is the very thing plants use for photosynthesis. It is what they use to grow and thrive. Less CO2 would mean less plant growth, and possibly declines in plant life populations. That would, in fact, be bad. More is absorbed by more plants…i dont have the link for it, but i read a study indicating more CO2 was actually a benefit for crop growth and so on. If i find the link again, i’ll post it.

And believe me. anytime anyone in business has to pay for something (as cap and trade would hit them for rather large amounts)….consumers ALWAYS pay for it. the price of gas is a prime example. price of gas increases….now look at the price of other goods and services.

Promising to vote for some fringe candidate that won’t even get a full percentage point in the general election does nothing more than assure us that Cynthia McKinney’s vote count will have a counterbalance

And this thinking is exactly why this horrible self serving 2 party system has not been broken. Until enough people stop voting lesser of 2 evils because “you’ll waste your vote” nonsense, we will continue with BAU.
