Friends,

This just came in via email and I though all of you would want to read this. Please distribute.

I heard Jim Gilchrist on the Lars Larson show on Wednesday, and he explained why he is supporting Huckabee.
He said that "Huckabee is the only candidate who asked for his endorsement". And that the other candidates ignore him.
It just seems to me that Gilchrist is a fading star who will do any outrageous thing he can do to get noticed, which means he will endorse the worst possible Republican candidate, if that candidate will just mention his name and make him look important.
Gilchrist also said that Huckabee has a "repatriation plan" and that he will deport all the illegal aliens. Gilchrist claims he actually believes Huckabee's plan.
Now, while all of us agree that the border must be secured before we move on to the deportation issue, Gilchrist seems to have missed that point. When a ship is sinking, do you merely bail water forever or do you PATCH THE HOLE AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN?
I think Gilchrist wants to be seen as important and powerful, but that he really misses the point. If you are in office, you have real power, but if you are not in office, you are stuck trying to INFLUENCE people. Gilchrist, instead of influencing people to secure the border is now pushing people away from him personally, while he desperately clings to an anchor that would drag us all down. I hope that when Huckabee goes away, Gilchrist will too.
