03/21/07 - A Reader Wonders Why
The Senator From Arizona Needs To
Go To Iowa To Find The Immigration Issue.
A Reader Says Immigration Reformers
Are “Undercut” in “front-ended” presidential primaries
From: Kevin Brown
With three Rockefeller
Republicans vying for the presidential nomination, I
still never thought I'd live to see a presidential race
with no
Goldwater,
Reagan,
Buchanan in the top tier.
As I finally realized,
this is no accident. Republican voters, bloggers, talk
hosts, and traditionalists have been screaming for a
real conservative for many months, so the Establishment
offers up Senator Fred Thompson and former governor
Mike Huckabee as alternatives.
It's funny though,
Thompson and Huckabee may be conservative on most
issues, but still leave the nasty taste of
open borders
in your mouth. The "pro" borders candidates (Tancredo,
Hunter, and
Paul) are virtually invisible in the mainstream
media, even talk radio. Why the exclusion? Their names
are never mentioned by the highly compensated talking
heads on cable TV.
As far as the front-ended
presidential primaries are concerned, it's serves as an
opportunity for the Establishment to undercut the
Southern primaries (most notably South Carolina) and
their ability to pick a conservative Nominee.
By the time Southern Tuesday happens, the Northern
Liberal bloc of states (NY, Cal, Fla, etc,.) would have
already lined their delegates behind one of the
"Rockefeller" brothers, who at that point would be
considered unbeatable.
