That's surprising, given his past record of awarding tax-funded scholarships to illegal aliens. His past record isn't as bad as Romney's or Guilani's; but still. Even in a recent debate, he refers to them as "God's children." Perhaps; but isn't everybody one of "God's children" then? Does that mean we shouldn't prosecute theives or murderers? Aren't they "God's children" too??? As far as the frontrunners go, I think Fred Thompson has the best past record, and present plan to deal with the illegal alien invasion....

Romney seems to think that Americans cannot tell an attack ad apart from a regular ad. We are sick of them. We don't care what your thoughts are on the next guy, tell us about yourself. When you attack, it makes you look weak.

Fred Thompson lost my vote with his attack ad, and now Romney as well.

Hey EriK you first should learn how to spell your own name. Thanks for clearing up the myth created my liberals in the drive by media that you were a Christian terrorist, and that you were more of a Liberal leftist terrorist.

'I prefer Nietzsche to the Bible'

"Many good people continue to send me money and books," Rudolph writes in an undated letter. "Most of them have, of course, an agenda; mostly born-again Christians looking to save my soul. I suppose the assumption is made that because I'm in here I must be a 'sinner' in need of salvation, and they would be glad to sell me a ticket to heaven, hawking this salvation like peanuts at a ballgame. I do appreciate their charity, but I could really do without the condescension. They have been so nice I would hate to break it to them that I really prefer Nietzsche to the Bible."

It must bring joy into your heart, Dave, that you can point at an abortion clinic bomber and call him "liberal."

Or does it? Doesn't that confuse you about whether liberals/ abortion clinics are good or bad?

On the one hand, you found a "liberal" who likes to murder people in favor of abortion - on the other hand, he's not murdering in the name of Christ. Confusing.

Huckabee is just getting a lot of different endorsements. I would say that you need to be careful of those that give you endorsements. Ask yourself, "What is their baggage and reputation? How will that affect me?" The immigration issue is so much a minefield, that one wrong statement (slip of the tounge or not) could sink you. It is not something that I can really advise anyone on. Be safe out there Huckabee.

Before Huckabee revels and celebrates the endorsement of Jim Gilchrest, founder of Border-Busy-Bodies (B3) he (Huckabee) should have Gilchrist (republiCON) account for the millions of $$$$$ he took in to build a fence that has NOT been built!

Jared, Draper, UT — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 00:29:53 GMT

Wow - I personally find the ad very instructive and helpful and not "negative" in its content. I'm also one that actually finds Mr. Huckabee's previous immigration stance more appealing than the change he has made in the last week or so.

Unfortunately, it now seems apparent that Mr. Huckabee is just as likely to "flip" his positions as Mr. Romney (and all the others, including Democrat candidates) on issues he deems critical to his party's respective nomination. I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed.

The bottom line for me is that I'm still trying to decide whom to vote for, but it's surely not going to based upon something as superficial as an accurate ad, albeit one that draws distinctions. Picking our next President seems much too important an endeavor to be decided on such an insignificant item. For me the fact that Mr. Huckabee has so quickly changed positions is a much more significant factor that I'll use in weighing whom to vote for.

I don't think it is bad informing people what Huckabee's position on immigration is unless it is something untrue.

In the worst financial year of my life (two of three members of my household hospitalized with $35K in bills) I broke out my checkbook for the FIRST TIME in my political life to give to an individual candidate: a buck for Huck. Well, a few more than "A buck".

I did it because I believed his "intrinsic value" and dignity demonstrated towards the children of illegal aliens was refreshing and more congruent with my Pro-Live position (yes... pro-life extends beyond the womb...). I have proudly sported my Huckabee bumper sticker since... oh, about July.

I am extremely disappointed with his about-face cave in to inflammatory rhetoric in our fraction-ed party. I thought my $20.08 was buying me a nice pair of stilettos that elevated our party a few inches about the rhetoric. What I ended up with was a cheap pair of flat flip-flops.

National Deception: Mike Huckabee and Jim Gilchrist Lie To America

January 9, 2007

CONTACT: William Gheen, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), press@alipac.us (866) 329-3999

Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and Minuteman Co-Founder Jim Gilchrist have been documented lying to America by the Washington Times today after false headlines ran on Tuesday proclaiming Mike Huckabee would try to remove birthright citizenship from the Constitution.

The article confirms that Huckabee lied on CNN about his campaign being contacted about Gilchrist's false statements and Gilchrist lied in a release about Huckabee's immigration stances.

Gilchrist put out a press release on Iowa's election eve, under the fake name of "Perry Emerson” that contained several false statements and embellishments of Huckabee's immigration stances. The release claimed Huckabee would try to reverse birthright citizenship laws, which are widely exploited by illegal aliens.

"We are doing our best to get the truth about these lies, and the hidden amnesty component of the Huckabee immigration plan to the public," says William Gheen of ALIPAC. "So far, the majority of the national media is not reporting these facts and voters wonder why they are hearing the news from us instead of CNN and Fox. This is a grand national deception in motion and it is absolutely blasphemous that voters are being deceived on a massive scale."

ALIPAC launched a campaign to warn voters about Huckabee's statements on Fox News on Dec. 9 2007, where Huckabee stated illegal aliens could leave the US and return within days permanently and legally. This information was only reported once on Fox and is not included in Huckabee's distributed immigration plan. The national media is not telling voters that over 84 immigration enforcement organizations, including multiple Minuteman groups, have rebuked Gilchrist's endorsement of Huckabee.

"When lies of this scale go unchecked by the media, it is no wonder that our nation is in such great peril today," said William Gheen. "The Huckabee and Gilchrist immigration deception is a national disaster in motion that will have far reaching negative ramifications for America. Mike Huckabee and Jim Gilchrist are successfully deceiving American voters and they must be stopped."

Copies of Gilchrist's fake name press release, the Washington Times Articles, copies of the video of Huckabee's "illegals back in days" comments, and the letter signed by the vast majority of groups fighting illegal immigration are available at www.alipac.us

All members of the media are asked to tell voters the truth before it is to late.
