ran in California as the "BUILD THE WALL" candidate. He had prop. 187 Gov. Pete Wilson calling every Republican in the state telling us that John McCain was the best choice to secure the border, stating flat out that McCain's first priority as President is to build a wall on the border, stop the inflow of illegals -- and only after that would he sign any legislation which deal with the problem of the 20 million illegal aliens already here.
We'll see.
What I've come to believe is that John McCain is a deeply dishonest guy who'd would sell his kids to be President. I don't trust him.
At this point I'm ready to back Mike Huckabee. He's the most likable and personable guy in the race, his ideas aren't that wacky, and he's no less prepared to be President than anyone else in that office over the last 30 years. Really. A lot of the conservative attacks on Huckabee I've thought are unfair. He's clearly not great on crime, but his record on taxes and spending must be put in the context of running the state of Arkansas. And Huckabee's criticisms of the President have been valid and warranted. Truth is a pretty good defense. Bush has been living in a bunker, and the American people know it, and there sick of it. Huckabee will not be a bunker President.
The evangelicals who dominate the new Republican party in the party's new base -- the South -- want one of their own in the White House. And let's face facts. Given the choice most of them are not all that comfortable voting for a Mormon. We may still have time to switch horses and keep that horses ass we call John McCain off the top of the ticket. I say we do it.
UPDATE: Mark Levin has a good post explaining why Republicans will never united behind John McCain. Levin suggests that party activists turn their attention to the House of Representatives. I'd only add that the best aid anyone could give to House Republican candidates would be to get Huckabee on the top of the ticket. There would be no better way to motivate a large segment of the Republican base to turn out at the polls in November.
