Orlando GOP Debate Review
21 October 2007If there was any doubt that the gloves were off, the debate tonight removed that doubt. The debate had Chris Wallace pitting Thompson, Romney and Giuliani against each other almost from the start and each rose to the questions. Thompson compared Giuliani to Hillary Clinton in terms of his positions on immigration and sanctuary cities, [...]
Glenn Beck Huckabee Interview
21 October 2007This is well worth the 30 plus minutes required to see it all. Governor Huckabee is knowledgeable, well spoken, clearly conservative and speaks with total conviction. If you are a conservative he deserves your consideration. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
I’ve Made Up My Mind
21 October 2007back in June I wrote a post about Mike Huckabee. In that post I talked about seeing Mike Huckabee in person and listening to him make his points and field questions. I was impressed with Huckabee then and really wanted to support him but I really didn’t think he had a chance so I was [...]

Thompson in South Carolina
27 June 2007I has the privilege today of attending a luncheon sponsored by the South Carolina Republican Convention. The luncheon was held in Columbia and the keynote speaker was Fred Dalton Thompson. When the opportunity to go to this presented itself, there was no chance I was going to pass it up. Thompson spoke for about 25 [...]
Under the Bill
26 June 2007If I hear the phrase “under the bill” one more time regarding “comprehensive immigration reform” I think I will throw up. I was listening to Chertoff on Cavuto this afternoon and every time Cavuto brought up conservative objections, Chertoff’s response was “under the bill…” I’m convinced they are being intentionally obtuse. We’ve repeated over and [...]
Views on Mike Huckabee
22 June 2007I had the opportunity to be at a Mike Huckabee campaign stop. Governor Huckabee came to Charleston Bagel in Mt. Pleasant, SC and spoke to a small crowd of maybe 40-50 people and he was, in my view, very effective. The campaign stop was sponsored by South Carolina FairTax. The FairTax organization does not endorse [...]
Immigration Reform
13 June 2007What is the deal with immigration reform? If you have followed the debate and the actions in the Senate you may have wondered what is going on. Democrats clearly want immigration reform, yet Harry Reid pulled it from consideration after two unsuccessful attempts at cloture. He could have kept the debate going at least until [...]
For President Bush, Loyalty is a One Way Street
5 June 2007If there is one thing President Bush has placed a premium on it is loyalty. He expects those in his administration to be loyal to him. And he has expected the rank and file of the Republican Party to be loyal to him. The problem is, he doesn’t see the need to return that loyalty. [...]

30 May 2007According to Politico.com, Fred Thompson is a little closer to jumping into the GOP presidential race. In a story today, Mike Allen said that Thompson will will form an exploratory committee in June. Allen says Thompson has already raised millions of dollars and “is being backed by insiders from the past three Republican administrations.” From [...]
