Open Thread
They see Mc Cain, the pro immigration, anti tax cutting, Mc Cain/Feingold. OR..Huckabee, pro immigration, pro tax history, unelectable. These two are whom the MSM seem to want to run. So they are getting two the left can beat, and even if they don't beat them they will get a flood of immigration, and tax hikes so they win even if they loose. So we cut off Fox because we are pissed. The person that I feel comes closest to a real conservativeis Fred, 5th place in a race of 6. I telling you now, it will be a long time in the wilderness again, (thanks Bush, and the over spending congress)+ open borders! Between business that want open borders, and every politician thinks that they will stay in office because the immigrants will vote for them. The conservatives will stay home again.

Political Insider
Last summer, you spoke of "the Arkansas mafia." How did that go down at the dinner table? Permalink | Comments (1) | Post your comment | Talking Confederate one day, and civil rights the next Friday, January 18, 2008, 11:33 AM The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Just got off the phone with Merle Black, the Emory University political scientist, who pointed out the dilemma that Republican candidate Mike Huckabee has found himself in over Southern symbolism. On Thursday, Huckabee declared that flying the Confederate battle flag on the grounds of its capitol was South Carolina's business — and no one else's.
