Like most republicans I am unhappy with the current “top 3″ Romney, McCain, Giuliani, that the media seems to keep on talking about. It seems like the liberal media wants them to be the frontrunner because they don’t want a “right winger” as the Republican candidate. Well a lot of republicans like me will not vote PERIOD if that is our choices for the Republican Candidate in the general election.
I’m hearing a lot about this thompson guy. I don’t know much about him and also he now came out saying he had lymphoma. Considering my dog died of Lymphoma very quickly I’m not in the mood to elect someone who is suffering from such a condition. I have also heard questions about his social conservatism.
Not having a very detailed picture on each candidate(and at this point its too early to even care) for now my two picks are Tancredo and Hunter. Both are strong on immigration and both aren’t trying to make waves against the Iraq war like Brownback and Hatch.
Right now Illegal immigration is the most serious problem facing america. Being a Californian I see the effect better then everyone. To me Iraq and other issues while important are not as important as immigration. I will change support for candidate just on that issue alone. That is why these two are my first choices among Republicans.
Besides immigration bush and many Republicans have abandoned fiscal conservatism. I don’t know where hunter stands on that, but I believe Tancredo is strong on fiscal conservatism. I also appreciate Tancredo’s boldness. Tancredo and Hunter seem to be outside the “mainstream” as far as chances, but in primaries people vote their concious and who knows maybe one of them will do good in the primaries.
