Brownback is a HECK NO!

Thanks, Tancredofan.

Looks like the establishment has frontloaded the vote, with Gingrich, Romney, and Giuliani being the only candidates with positive acceptability numbers. Gingrich is a used-to-be Conservative while I would characterize the other two as RINOs. Disappointing.

First choice votes went Gingrich, Giuliani and Romney in that order, followed by "no choice" and then the Manchurian candidate (McCain). Tancredo was sixth so far.

I wasn't quite sure what they meant by conservative. I looked it up and it said;

con‧serv‧a‧tive  /kənˈsɜrvətɪv/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[kuhn-sur-vuh-tiv] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective
1. disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change.

I suppose I'm not conservative if that means living with a corrupt government that doesn't enforce the immigration laws.

I never have been able to get a grasp on all of the left, right, liberal and all the other terms.

I suppose you can color me ticked off.

Brownback is an amnesty supporter. The only candidate other than Cong. Tancredo that is acceptable to me is Duncan Hunter. Obviously, Cong. Tancredo was my first choice.
