I am putting several articles here for us to learn more and to have some information for any comments that we may want to leave at any sites to oppose Mike Huckabee and to oppose John McCain.
(quote)
Key excerpts from the Santorum interview on McCain's immigration views:
HH: Senator, welcome back. I was just…did you serve alongside Senator McCain for 12 years or longer?
RS: 12 years.
HH: So you know him well.
RS: I do.
HH: When you hear the media talking about him, and of course, he got Iraq right, and we’re all grateful for that, but he wasn’t the only Republican to get it right. Do you believe he’s sincerely changed on the immigration bill to where he understands the message that was delivered last summer?
RS: No.
HH: Why not?
RS: Well, I mean, because John McCain was the leader on the other side of the aisle. John McCain was the guy who was working with Ted Kennedy to drive it down our throats, and lectured us repeatedly about how xenophobic we were, lectured us, us being the Republican conference, about how wrong we were on this, how we were on the wrong side of history, and that you know, this is important for his…because having come from Arizona, knowing the strength of the Hispanic community, that we were going to be seen as racists, and he wasn’t going be part of that, that he was not a racist, and that if we were for tougher borders, it was a racist thing. Look, John McCain looks at things through the eyes, on these kind of domestic policy issues, looks at it through the eyes of the New York Times editorial board, and accepts that predisposition that if you are not, if you stand for conservative principles, there’s some genetic defect.
Santorum on McCain's ideology generally:
HH: Why can’t John McCain win this election?
RS: Well, number one, John McCain will not get the base of the Republican Party. I mean, there was a reason John McCain collapsed last year, and it’s because he was the frontrunner, and everybody in the Republican Party got a chance to look at him. And when they looked at him, they wait well, wait a minute, he’s not with us on almost all of the core issues of…on the economic side, he was against the President’s tax cuts, he was bad on immigration. On the environment, he’s absolutely terrible. He buys into the complete left wing environmentalist movement in this country. He is for bigger government on a whole laundry list of issues. He was…I mean, on medical care, I mean, he was for re-importation of drugs. I mean, you can go on down the list. I mean, this is a guy who on a lot of the core economic issues, is not even close to being a moderate, in my opinion. And then on the issue of, on social conservative issues, you point to me one time John McCain every took the floor of the United States Senate to talk about a social conservative issue. It never happened. I mean, this is a guy who says he believes in these things, but I can tell you, inside the room, when we were in these meetings, there was nobody who fought harder not to have these votes before the United States Senate on some of the most important social conservative issues, whether it’s marriage or abortion or the like. He always fought against us to even bring them up, because he was uncomfortable voting for them. So I mean, this is just not a guy I think in the end that washes with the mainstream of the Republican Party.

Best Ron Paul clip of the night (perhaps any debate) In my opinion.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mffpkCH-PJw
To those who have always been republican, and perhaps are older and remember what republicans used to stand for - I think you will appreciate his response.
I still cant believe how honest and courageous Ron Paul is, whether you agree with him or not, he has balls, and he is making the republican party take a good hard look at themselves - something they need badly. Something our entire political system needs badly

OK, I watched it again. What Thompson actually said was "enforcement by attrition." Hey, he had the right idea. And for the record, he was the best on immigration tonight. He was the only one I believe who talked about employment verification. He said that our immigration policy should be "high walls, and long bridges." The moderator said that Romney said illegals should be looked at by a case by case basis (not sure if Romney actually said this). Thompson flattly rejected this idea. Paul brought it back to the economy again, saying that the tough economic times have made immigrants and especially illegals a source of anger -- he stopped short of the "scapegoat" comment this time. But, to his credit, he did say "the law is the law, and it needs to be enforced." Knucklehead made some stupid comment about how, "nobody should be looked at as illegal in this country, we should all be looked at as legal."
Serve Bush with his letter of resignation.
See you at the signing!!

Romney NO WAY said this..........It was Juan McAmnesty, when he was talking about the military man that was married to the illegal woman who was being deported!!!
You are right though-----the moderator referred to McCain as "governor", instead of "senator"."We call things racism just to get attention. We reduce complicated problems to racism, not because it is racism, but because it works." --- Alfredo Gutierrez, political consultant.

I thought it was funny that Romney said that all of the candidates wanted the border enforced, except Paul, because he did not know his position. In all honesty, I can't blame Mitt. Paul has been really quiet about the issue, and somewhat ambiguous.Serve Bush with his letter of resignation.
See you at the signing!!

BearFlag, Ron paul hasn't been quiet on his views on illegal immigration. He has a tv ad running about it. It's available on YouTube.
RIP TinybobIdaho -- May God smile upon you in his domain forevermore.
