    He picks two winning issues.

    More qualifications than most, as far as military experience goes^^. Also, 'he is a Vietnam veteran, who served in the 173rd Airborne and 75th Army Rangers.'

    One of the few that will be rated 100% by FAIR, which is an anti-illegal immigration organization. I'm convinced this issue will scuttle it's way up to extreme importance in 2008. Currently, it seems no candiate really wants to portray themselves as amnesty supporters...on either side.

    Tom and him, are very close to what you'd call real conservatives. I don't know if the Repub party will liken to them.

    I'm not in full agreement with his platform, but I don't think I will be with anyone. I personally will look more into his background. I could see Tom and him running together.

    I could support this guy. I don't agree with everything on there, but he's definitely more in line with what I'd like to see.

    Voted NO on increasing AMTRAK funding by adding $214M to $900M. (Jun 2006)

    Wuh? there was a bill to increase its funding? I thought they were talking about trashing it or cutting down its routes a lot?
