Corn Beltway Boys’ Caucus Voting Guide
Posted by Jeremie Jordan on January 1, 2008
As the January 3rd Iowa caucuses approach, it has been reported that many voters are still undecided as who to vote for. Enter CBB’s handy dandy pocket, blog voting guide:
Mike Huckabee: Former Arkansas governor and Baptist minister.
Pros: Lost over 100 pounds, meaning there is less of him to dislike. Figuratively speaking.
Cons: Mike has over a thousand cons, as in he pardoned over a thousand convicts.
Mitt Romney: Former Massachusetts governor and Mormon.
Pros: America can always use another elitist, politician from Massachusetts to govern our lives.
Cons: How many lawyers does it take to invade a nation? Believes a lawyer should be consulted before he would take military action as President.
Ron Paul: Congressman from Texas
Pros: Maybe you missed the part where he’s from Texas? As a bonus, he’s an angry Texan.
Cons: As a strict Constitutionalist surely Ron Paul has observed his Presidency is not mentioned anywhere in the US Constitution.
Rudy Giuliani: Former mayor of New York City.
Pros: He’s been through two nasty divorces which, of course, makes him over qualified to handle diplomatic relations with rogue states like Iran and North Korea.
Cons: He is a Yankees fan.
Fred Thompson: Former senator and actor.
Pros: Starred in such movies as Days of Thunder and Aces: Iron Eagle III.
Cons: Starred in such movies as Days of Thunder and Aces: Iron Eagle III.

!. MIKE HUCKABEE—–LIAR-supports college for illegal aliens–his plan calls for leaving the country and coming back within 24 hours. this is Amnesty–has no experience that is conservative
2. 4 choices Romney, thompson, Hunter and Paul—– Romney should not be faulted for hiring a company that hired illegals, I am sure we have all hired someone who had illegals working for them unknown to us. We also use hotels and restaurants and we know they are full of illegals—Romney has the best chances of winning. but I really like Thompson and Hunter. Vote for any of the 4 and we can live with it. Do not vote for Huckabee he is a fraud. go to numberusa and they are completely unviased and they have allof the candidates listed and rated. We must for the sake of our country be right about this choice. We were wrong about Bush and I voted for him twice. God bless you and God bless the USA

This is basically the gist of Huckabee’s immigration plan touchback provision:
He would repeal the multi-year baring of illegals to re-enter the U.S. for illegals who register during a 120-day period with Homeland Security and temporarily exit the country (for only a few days, at most). It is also highly likely that many would not even leave the country but would be allowed to go to their nearest consulate on American soil for paperwork.
They would face no penalty if they apply to immigrate back to U.S. (they’d be back in within just days). He would not utilize the current legal immigration law process for immigration to the U.S. but would set up special processing for these ‘special case formerly illegal’ immigrants. He also would reward these lawbreakers (and their law-breaking employers) by allowing the aliens to keep the very jobs they broke into the country and took. He wants them back in quick to slide back into the same jobs they had before their quick exit and return (touchback).
Huckabee will utilize every trick in the book to legalize illegal aliens. He’s just a bit more deceptive, shifty and crafty in how he hides the fact that he will provide amnesty. By all means, don’t take my word on this if you are skeptical. Dig deep on Huckabee and look at the man behing the curtain. I’m betting you won’t really care for what you see.
Huckabee has stated that our economy would collapse without the presence of illegal aliens here. Really? My oh my…how did we manage to survive as a nation and grow our economy these past two centuries and well into the 1970’s before the accelerated mass entries of illegal aliens? In 1986, our spineless Congressmen and Senators decided instead of dealing with the problem, they’d just give amnesty to the illegals so their incompetence, corruption, greed and dysfunction could be just swept under the rug. Then in 2007, they tried the same thing, but this time an educated, forceful, awake and fed up public citizenry stopped them in their tracks. Now their tookus is in a sling as they don’t know what to do, so basically they are doing what they’ve been doing over the last 30 years…nothing as far as border security and immigration enforcement.
2008 is a pivitol year, likely even a tipping point, in the history of America. Will we continue to be a strong, sovereign nation ruled by law or will we let the invasion continue until America’s slide into anarchy is unstoppable?
We need to elect a leader as President who will protect the value of U.S. citizenship, work for the citizens of America, fiercely protect our sovereignty, stop the march to globlism and the formation of the NAU, and solve our illegal immigration problem. That does not involve granting amnesty to illegal aliens. Huckabee is not your man if you care for those issues. Neither is McCain, Ghuliani of any of the Democrats.
Just remember to pick a candidate to support not on what they say they will do but on what they have actually done.

2008 is a tipping point? Zeezil, you are extremely fortunate to be alive at such a crucial time. Additionally, the issue that you find most important (illegal immigration) is the most important issue facing the country. Get real. Just because we are alive at a particular era doesn’t make that era particularly important. Nor does one’s interest in an issue make that issue important.
Who cares about illegal immigration?
My family came to America relatively late in the colonial game-namely around 1720. I know people more WASPy than me, but not many. My argyle has argyle on it.
Let me give you a secret: illegal immigration isn’t a big deal. It does affect public education funding and some aspects of the criminal justice system, but that’s about it. Open borders encourage economic efficiency and cultural interaction.
Don’t get talking about “us” “losing our culture.” Most yahoos who talk about “the culture war” don’t know the first thing about culture. They prefer mayonnaise to Monet and Manet. Their stance on the debate between Brahms and Wagner is one of ignorance and apathy; they don’t know and don’t care. I’ve seen more culture on rancid dairy products.
Just say you don’t like Mexicans and people speaking Spanish, and I’ll respect you more for it.

Good thought, EW. I’m working on a lengthy post on the so-called culture war, which owes much to you from our conversations on the topic. You know, social psychologists have a term-of-art for the tendency of one to view his own era as the most “crucial” in human history (as in Zeezil’s from above). It is called temporocentrism, and it is fallacious thinking. Though, I probably wouldn’t entirely open up the border, I’m not afraid of cultural influences from south or central America… in fact I welcome it.

“You know, social psychologists have a term-of-art for the tendency of one to view his own era as the most “crucial” in human history (as in Zeezil’s from above). It is called temporocentrism, and it is fallacious thinking.”
Weird I also thinking of posting about the belief that just because we are living now it’s the most important era. Nonsense.

EW,
I might be in the minority here, but I really do care about illegal immigration. I don’t necessarily care about the impact on culture, just our safety. Porous borders and not knowing who is in the country makes the country less safe. I don’t think that fact can be debated.

Not being from Iowa, I’m not familiar with this, but I’m just wondering if it’s possible to accidentally vote for Buchanan in the caucus.
As for Thompson, if he’d simply say “Russians don’t take a dump without a plan, son” I think he’d win an extra million votes.

“Not being from Iowa, I’m not familiar with this, but I’m just wondering if it’s possible to accidentally vote for Buchanan in the caucus.”
It’s not possible, all the snowbirds should be in Florida…

Jeremie,
You make a great point. You are 100% correct about keeping track of immigrants. If there could be an Ellis Island-type solution, I’d be all for it. I do think there is a concrete solution to the problem, that doesn’t involve Lou Dobbs-esque demagoguery and protectionism.
When I say illegal immigration, I talk about the number of (mostly Latino) immigrants who are not here legally. I don’t care about the influx of Latino immigrants. Recent immigrants have always been hated and disliked. And those immigrants always assimilated. The English hated Scots-Irish immigrants, who hated the Germans, who hated the Irish, who hated the Italians, who hated the Slavs, who hated the Jews, who hated the Japs, who hated the Koreans, who hated the Latinos.
I will not be on the wrong side of history. The current anti-immigrant hysteria has many precedents, all erroneous.

Mitt’s the man! James Bopp said:
“Mitt Romney, however, has been the focal point of their (the DNC’s) attacks. That is because he is a full-spectrum conservative who will reunite the Reagan coalition.”

Thanks Nevadagirl for supporting Romney with a quote from a lawyer. You may want to duck next time, because the point almost smacked you in the forehead this time as it flew over.

When people use terms like “reunite the Reagan coalition,” it sounds awfully sad. Similar to “putting the band back together.” Yeah, REO Speedwagon rocked in the 80s, but reuniting them in 2008 just seems sad. Let’s look ahead.
January 3, 2008 at 11:32 am
It’s more like Yoko Ono trying to say she would have liked the Beatles to reunite. Mitt wasn’t Reagan before he was Reagan…excuse my translation, as my Massachusetts elitist, flip flopper speak is a little rusty:
http://brvanlanen.wordpress.com/2008/01/01/mitt-romney-not-always-reagan-supporter/
In 1994, when he ran for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, he said, “I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.”
