Sen. Thompson To Join Race
"Thompson, as of now, is seen by some as best positioned to be the guy who can keep this conservative coalition together," says Chuck Todd of NBC.
Todd goes onto say: "Like the rest of the three frontrunners, though, there are some positions Thompson has taken in the past (including supporting McCain-Feingold campaign finance regulation and abortion) that indicate Thompson may be just as muddy on some key conservative positions as Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain."

Huckabee Ready to End IRS
"You get rid of income tax, you get rid of all of the withholding, you get rid of corporate taxes completely, totally. "You replace it with a 23 percent consumption tax. It will bring business back to the United States that's leaving our shores because our tax laws make it impossible for an American-based business to compete," Huckabee said earlier this week on Fox News Sunday.

Huckabee Could Make Brownback 'Toast'
The report said "He [Brownback] needs to take Huckabee out. If he doesn't, he's toast." While Huckabee, who came in number five, was said to be "comforting, reassuring, strong in the right ways, quick with a witty aside, respectful of his peers" in the last debate, even though he does not have the money or staff as other campaigns.

Cort Takes Straw Poll
"Winning this straw poll proves you have to fight for votes in every state, you cannot do like other candidates and blow off a state like Rhode Island. Secondly, it shows that as folks hear our message of traditional Christian values and our plan to win the Iraq War and keep America safe, they respond in a positive manner," Cort was quoted as saying in an e-mail update.

Romney Criticized On Immigration Stand
Romney has called for the stronger boarder security, tamper-proof ID cards, and that illegals should go back to their country and "get in line."
To that Marshal Fitz of the American Immigration Lawyers Association says: ''That's exactly what's on the table. All of those things are part of the immigration package. Romney and the other candidates who continue to beat their chests against this legislation are just playing to the conservative base.''

McCain Loses Temper
The argument apparently started when Cornyn brought up the subject of how many judicial appeals that illegal immigrants could get.
McCain went on to use vulgar words in the argument that reportedly took place in front of other Senators and aids in a meeting room.

GOP Candidates On New Immigration Plan
Mitt Romney:
"I strongly oppose today's bill going through the Senate. It is the wrong approach. Any legislation that allows illegal immigrants to stay in the country indefinitely, as the new 'Z-Visa' does, is a form of amnesty. That is unfair to the millions of people who have applied to legally immigrate to the U.S."
Tom Tancredo:
Bill creators "seem to think that they can dupe the American public into accepting a blanket amnesty if they just call it 'comprehensive' or 'earned legalization' or 'regularization.' The president is so desperate for a legacy and a domestic-policy win that he is willing to sell out the American people and our national security."
Duncan Hunter:
"I vow to oppose this legislation supported by Senators Edward Kennedy and John McCain.It provides a vast new immigration benefit to millions of illegal aliens who have broken our laws to live in the United States.I opposed the 1986 amnesty act because of this same reason.It proved to be the draw that we predicted it would be.I am deeply disappointed to see history repeating itself."

Corsi Tops Giuliani
Hillary Clinton (D), Chuck Hagel (U-08) and Joe Lieberman (I) all tied for third with 12.5% each. Wayne Allyn Root (L) got 8.33%.
Giuliani-Huckabee Ticket Not Likely
"This is an issue to me that is very critical," the Associated Press reports the former Arkansas governor as saying. "It's one of the reasons that I got into politics because I believe the manner in which we treat innocent life and the matter in which we respect human life, at whatever stage is an incredibly powerful statement about who we are as a people," Huckabee added.

Republican Sprankle Responds to Debate
Sprankle Response to 5/15/2007 GOP Debate:
The debate public form is meant to bring out the differences
When I think of a debate, it is a question and answer period of specific topics and how each opposing party would approach and solve the issue. It would include the tactics and resources one would employ in these circumstances. Although one minute is not long enough to elaborate on any subject to the appropriate degrees necessary, they should have answers that reflect a pattern of thought and planning.
Instead we find several of the candidates using rehearsed responses, even switching to previous questions not asked of them, so they may expound their sound bite.
Throughout these debates we find ourselves still asking, “What wouldthat person do?” They repeat the problems we face as a Nation and expound on the obvious responses they believe America wants to hear.
Rudy grasp the moment to assert himself and his role as Americas’ Mayor when Ron Paul announced that 911 was Americas fault.
McCain capitalized on Mitt Romney for changing positions.
Huckabee sized the moment to bring up a $400 haircut of John Edwards.
Fun aside, what has been accomplished? None of these candidates brought fourth any new ideas or solutions to current problems. They are not even acknowledging that every problem in this Country has affects in more then one area. Gasoline, the economy, wars overseas and our National foreign policies on trade all work together affecting the daily lives of Middle America. Change one item and how are they going to deal with the results in five other areas?
But what are the real answers? Everyone agrees that we can cut spending, but how would they use the savings generated from those cuts? Give it back to the people? Maybe invest it in other programs like Social Security without seeking a solution to that problem? Our next President must have clear and comprehensive plans and solutions if our Country is going to successfully move through the next few years.
During this debate, the candidates even struggled to identify just what spending cuts or departments they would eliminate. The candidates sometimes did not even answer the direct question which was posed to them. Former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore simply could not answer how he would protect the economy affect a terrorist attack. Mitt Romney said the key is prevention, but what in his platform would be different to create the prevention factor we need in this Nation.
My platform works together on many issues, all working in unison to create solutions to the problems we face. Each element in itself would be a benefit to our Country, but taken together creating a road map to a more peaceful and productive world, and the fulfillment of the American Dream for more people then ever possible before.
We need answers in future debates, real solutions and real plans. If these people had real plans for our future the debate answers would come naturally and smoothly. The only other unthinkable answer is that these people are simply afraid to alienate some of their voters and supporters at the cost of our Country. Is this the type of leader we need now?
Web Poll: Cox Should Have Debated
Paul's Campaign Hurt In Debate
"We’ve had an interventionist foreign policy for 50 years that has come back to haunt us. So that’s not ‘Blame America’ — that’s demagoguing, distorting issues…That’s deceitful to say those kinds of things."
Byron York comments:
So in the end, the candidate who made a big move, who came out of nowhere to win new name recognition was…Ron Paul. But it’s probably not the sort of name recognition Republican presidential candidates want. “Wow,” said one adviser to a rival campaign after listening to Paul’s blame-America lecture. “I haven’t heard anything like that this side of Rosie O’Donnell.”

Cox Excluded From Debate Despite Poll Results
Cox said Fox did a poll of candidates registered to appear on the South Carolina primary ballot to determine who would be in the debate, and even though Cox actually finished first in one independent South Carolina county straw poll and placed second in another, he was left off the roster.
Cox said in the Fox poll, he actually was ahead of Jim Gilmore and Ron Paul. He said he was fifth against other candidates in an IowaPolitics.com survey.
"So, what did Fox do? They changed the rules, throwing out their poll and using new criteria that allowed their chosen 10 to participate while excluding Cox," his campaign said.
Cox did file a law suite against Fox News that he lost, he will be present in the audience despite not be permitted to be allowed in the debate.
Romney, Giuliani and Paul Leading Positive Ratings
Rudy Giuliani follows close behind with 30% and Ron Paul comes in third with 25%. John McCain is close on Paul's heels with a 23% positive rating.
The leaders in the negative rating side are: Sam Brownback (58%), Jim Gilmore and Tommy Thompson both with 56%, Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo each with a 55% negative rating and Mike Huckabee with 50%.
The candidate with the lowest negative rating is Ron Paul with 42%.
Gilchrist Leaves AIP, Rumors of Keyes Bolt
After doing very well as the candidate for the California American Independent Party (the state's CP affiliate) in a special congressional election in 2005 and mentioning a possible run under the party's banner for President, Trent Hill of the Louisiana Constitution Party told me yesterday that Gilchrist is now a member of the Republican Party.
Mr. Hill also said that although Alan Keyes is still in the GOP, there are rumors he is getting ready to bolt the party.

Hunter 'Worthy of Serious Consideration by Conservative Voters'
Alexander says that: "A Republican ticket will need a lot of bang for the buck, cutting a significant swath into the Democrats' base -- without losses on the right. In his Demo-dominated district, Hunter has proven he can win Democrats' votes without waffling on conservative principles."

Cort Responds to Debate
“The frontrunner candidates proved career politicians will do nothing but offer more of the same. None of them offered a real plan to win in Iraq," said Cort, the author of Saddam's Attacks on America.
Cort went onto say: “It’s time the other candidates stop hiding from these issues and offer real solutions."
Mr. Cort will be on the Conservative Show, hosted by myself, on May 14.
McManigal Ends Campaign

Democrats Say Reagan Ran in '88
In the Ron Paul section, the well educated liberals say that Ron Paul ran against Ronald Reagan in 1988. Last I checked, Reagan did not seek an un-constitutional third term but, George HW Bush was elected to the presidency that year in large victory over Democrat Michael Dukakis. Good job Dems, you really know your stuff!

Paul, Tancredo and Hunter Not Likely CP Candidates
Paul is currently leading with 45% in that poll as the first choice candidate for the Constitution Party nomination. Tancredo is in second 21% and just 5% are in favor of Hunter.
What is the reality that one of these men will become the next CP nominee? I believe there is none. Yesterday on my show the Louisiana CP contact Trent Hill said that not of these these men are currently interested in a Constitution Party run but, their is still a slim possibility that one of them may.
However, Hunter probably is the least likely to make a third party run since his son is planning on running as a Republican to replace his father in congress.
