For a man who has raised all this money, Ron Paul is not doing very good in the polls. He is like a successful football coach who never reached the national championship game. Sounds like he is preparing more for an independent run then anything else.

It seems Governor Huckabee argued for and won the release of a serial rapist. After he was released he went on to rape and kill two more women. Seems Mr. Huckabee has some explaining to do and perhaps he should step down as a presidental contender. This would seem to me to a candidacy breaker. With this in his profile, he is definitely not fit to be president. I smell a Michael D. moment.

Romney, that flip flopping freak show, is no more qualified to be president than my cat. He was a lack luster one term governor of a state that went back to democrat as soon as it had the chance because it couldn't stand the policies of the republican regime. Romney is a narrow minded ideologue who'll say whatever he has to get elected. We don't need that again.

Giuliani is running a commerical claiming the Iranians backed down because Reagan was being sworn in and they were afraid of him?

HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD?

Does no one remember a little thing called the October Surprise "Conspiracy"?
Did Iran-Contra prove nothing?
Has Giuliani never even opened a history book, much less read one?

Considering that Carter was a weak feeble minded liberal that was afraid of his own shadow, I suspect the Iranians kind of knew Reagan was not going to play around with them.

Huckabee hadn't heard of the NIE report? This guy is ridiculous. It amazes me that with the quality field we have, including the hero of 9/11, and economic genius, and a war hero, someone like Huckabee is getting traction. Have we not learned a lesson from the election of our current president? Having a clueless, uninspired, dogmatic president has dug us into a hole. WAKE UP IOWA! Huckabee is not all you hoped Thompson would be. Stop pining for Reagan (who you have an awfully distorted historical remembrance of - Reagan didn't get the hostages out, the Mullahs just wanted to spite Carter and show how they could control US politics). Pick and accomplished leader from this quality crowd and move on. Sheesh

I thank Tom Tancredo for having the courage to tell America that illegal immigration is bad for this country.

Folks have been talking around the coffee table for decades about the problems caused by illegal aliens and illegal immigration, but few have had the courage to stand up in public and tell it like it is, and to demand that something be done about it.

Tancredo is telling the truth in this ad.

In "Sanctuary City" Chicago, where goodness knows how many busloads, truckloads and trainloads of illegal aliens arrive each day, such gang violence described in Tancredo''s new ad happens every day, in real life.

On Halloween of 2007, a pregnant woman named Leticia Barrera was shot in the head and killed by gang violence as she brought her three young children home from trick-or-treating in the Back-of-the-Yards neighborhood of Chicago. Her brains were blown out right in front of her kids -- blood and shards of bone everywhere for those children to see.

Is that the kind of future we want for our communities in this country? Do we want to be a place where mothers cannot walk with their children down the sidewalk in front of their own home?

SHUT THE BORDER and OUST THE GANGS!

I just want to say that once Tancredo drops out, his supporters are all welcome in the Ron Paul ReEVOLution. Pauls stance on illegal aliens: 1) No amnesty 2)End birthright citizenship. 3)No welfare or federal benefits. 4) Secure our borders.

Go Romney!!!!!

I found this snip tucked away at the bottom of an article this morning, almost missed it.

NBC's Chris Donovan reminds folks of a lesser-quoted speech JFK made in 1960 in Salt Lake City… It might be of note that just 11 days after Senator John Kennedy gave his religion speech in Houston in September 1960, he went to Salt Lake City to give a speech at the Mormon Tabernacle in which he had a few nice things to say about Mormons. "Tonight I speak for all Americans in expressing our gratitude to the Mormon people -- for their pioneer spirit, their devotion to culture and learning, their example of industry and self-reliance. But I am particularly in their debt tonight for their successful battle to make religious liberty a living reality -- for having proven to the world that different faiths of different views could flourish harmoniously in our midst -- and for having proven to the Nation in this century that a public servant devout in his chosen faith was still capable of undiminished allegiance to our Constitution and national interest."

The public servant Kennedy referenced was Senator Reed Smoot, an apostle in the Mormon church, who had to fight a four-year challenge to the right to his Senate seat over questions of whether or not he would be loyal to his religion versus his country. He was re-elected four times. Kennedy explained: "The story of Reed Smoot symbolizes the long struggle of the Mormon people for religious liberty. They suffered persecution and exile, at the hands of Americans whose own ancestors, ironically enough, had fled here to escape the curse of intolerance. But they never faltered in their devotion to their principle of religious liberty -- not for themselves alone, but for all mankind."

Mike Huckabee was regarded by fellow Republican governors as a compulsive tax increaser and spender. He increased the Arkansas tax burden by 47 percent, boosting the levies on gasoline and cigarettes. The Arkansas Leader.com editorialized that Mike Huckabee raised more taxes in 10 years in office than Bill Clinton did in his 12 years.

The Arkansas Ethics Commission held proceedings 20 times on the former governor. During his tenure, Huckabee accepted 314 gifts valued overall at more than $150,000, according to documents filed with the Arkansas secretary of state's office. (He accepted 187 gifts in his first three years as governor but was not required to report their value.)

Two months after taking office, Huckabee stunned the state by saying he questioned rapist Wayne DuMond's guilt and that it was his intention to free the rapist, DuMond murdered a women in Illinois after Huckabee set him free

Huckabee battled conservatives within his own party who were pushing for stricter state-level immigration measures, such as:.
- proof of legal status when applying for state services that aren’t federally mandated
- proof of citizenship when registering to vote
- Huckabee failed in his effort to make children of illegal immigrants eligible for state-funded scholarships and in-state tuition to Arkansas colleges.

Does Huckabee subscribe to his spiritual advisor Timothy LaHay’s views of the Rapture, United Nations, and a Palestinian state?”

Mike fails on so many levels as a true conservative.

It is estimated that Ron Paul will raise 15 - 20 million this quarter and yet the corporate controlled media refuses to acknowledge the massive in-roads Ron Paul is making into American politics. You better wise up before you make yourselves irreverent to up and coming generation that neither has a land line or watches MSM sponsored blather.

Why it is not included in any of the "Romney Speech" articles is beyond me. but more ironically is that when I have trying numberous times yesterday and today, to post it to those blogs, it does not get posted.

Reality bites, and many American families across the country have either witnessed or are directly involved in this form of domestic terror. To ignore this gang problem is irresponsible. Al Sharpten did not have the courage to face it in New Jersey because he has the heart of a true racist. Having open, uncontrolled, unsecured borders in any society is asking for it. Try using a scare monger routine on a family that lost their children to a MS-13 gang.

Airon, in SE Alaska and James Orleans:

I agree with both of your comments totally. Ron Paul is polling higher and raising more money than both Tancredo and Thompson, and Ron Paul isn't even given one sentence in this article, other than his standing. Who is writing this stuff? I am not going to worry about it anymore, I am just going to start boycotting and writing all the advertisers that support these media outlets and see what they think. Ron Paul will win, and we Americans that support him will make sure of that when we all show up to vote in the Primaries and in the Nov 2008 election.

Oh, by the way Ron Paul won another straw poll in Virgina, and would have won another in California but the idiot in charge of the GoP dinner cancelled the Poll, she said there was too much support for Ron Paul and it would not be fair, and this was after they had collected the $5.00 fee to do this Poll. And the GoP wonders why they don't have much support, go figure. Ron Paul for the win!!!!
