"Minuteman" Jim Gilchrist is my prospective opponent for California's 48th District U.S. House Rep. special election. Does anyone know what his stance is on the Iraq War? I for one firmly support the President and our operations in Iraq. What is Gilchrist's position on the war?
Thank you, J. Scott Davis
On another thread there is an article about Stormfront going to Crawford tomorrow to support Cindy.
On another thread today Buchanan called for the impeachment of President Bush saying in part: "Where is Bush? All wrapped up in the issue of whether women in Najaf will have the same rights in divorce and custody cases as women in Nebraska. "
The anti-immigrants movement is just another manifestation of the Know Nothing Party. Their name came from the fact that whenever their members were questioned by the FBI about the lynchings and massacres of immigrants they would always answer "we know nothing."
... hm. He resembles Jack Lemon, in profile.
Personally, I think you are the 'Know-Nothings'.
Someone brings up our immigration laws, and you say, "I know nothing."
Regular Sergeant Schultzs, you are.
Your charge of racism, and your equating of those who want our borders and our laws enforced to lynchmobs, etc, is identical to the lying propaganda that has been spewing from the socialist agitators that are trying to stir violence on the border.
I personally know dozens of leaders of the Minutemen who are of full Mexican descent, Asians, etc.
You are practicing the Big Lie technique in an attempt to slander good patriotic Americans of many ethnic backgrounds.
Although Wallace returned to the Democratic Party by 1970, the AIP continued to live on -- although moving even further to the right. The 1972 AIP nominee, John Birch Society leader and Congressman John G. Schmitz (R-CA), carried nearly 1.1 million votes (1.4%).
The 1976 AIP Presidential nominee was former Governor Lester Maddox (D-GA), a vocal segregationist -- but he fell far below Schmitz's vote total.
The AIP last fielded its own national Presidential candidate in 1980, when they nominated white supremacist ex-Congressman John Rarick (D-LA) -- who carried only 41,000 votes nationwide.
The AIP still fields local candidates in a few states -- mainly California -- but is now merely a state affiliate party of the national Constitution Party. For the past three presidential elections, the AIP simply co-nominated the Constitution Party's Presidential nominee."
As to a tie between anti-immigration and anti-iraq war, well, we took the wind out of those sales by pointing out that we are not talking about anti-immigration in the first place.
I am anti-illegal entry and very pro Iraqi Freedom. And for the same reasons. The same holds for the vast majority of the people involved in the Minuteman Project.
Mr. Gilchrist's opposition to the Iraq War and then saying he supports the troops is the LIBERAL stance. You can't oppose the war, but support the troops. Troops are for fighting! Mr. Gilchrist thus maintains a liberal stance which is in regards to my initial post!
Also, a liberal from a minor party will NOT win in the majority conservative 48th District.
Why do you seem so concerned with my running?
The primary election is to select a nomination from each party. OR, if one candidate from the entire pool has over 50% of the entire vote, he/she wins and it ends right there.
Gilchrist is from the American Independence Party.
I believe that he has liberal views.
Read the statement of positions on the official website of the American Independent Party.
The party is also opposed to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan
Does Cindy speak for you too?
Your running as a write-in candidate concerns me not in the least.
The way you signed up to FR just to promote a phony campaign, and then use this site's good graces to try and bring down a great American like Jim Gilchrist, concerns me greatly.
The most you can do, if you ever do actually run (which I seriously doubt) is to take 50 or so votes from John Campbell.
Have at it.
Hey thank you Torie! I like it!
He sure seems concerned with my running. I continue to point out that Gilchrist maintains liberal views in a conservative district (and from a minor party).
Lots of conservatives opposed going into Iraq.
The test for those who did came after we went in.
Jim Gilchrist passed that test with flying colors.
You really don't know much about politics, do you.
I believe that a late term abortion is wrong because the fetus has developed. It's not really substantially developed early on.
Also, a woman should really think it over before getting an abortion. She wouldn't want to regret it later.
As to my thoughts on Cindy Sheehan...they are abundantly clear in literally hundreds of posts over the last two weeks here on FR, and quite a few threads I have created on the matter. A simple search would answer your last rediculous and ludicrous question.
Such questions and such assertions by you, without doing any leg work to check out what you are saying, makes you look pretty rediculous in my opinion. But that's just my opinion of the matter.
Now Afghanistan has been mentioned as something the AIP also opposed, allegedly.
Is there a GOP establishment plan to somehow triangulate or trojan horse here, try to get someone into the tight race 'to the right' of Gilchrist, and accordingly siphon of his AIP votes which would otherwise go to the GOP?
Just a thought.
Jim supported going into Afghanistan, in fact.
Gilchrist is a member of the AIP party. So thus it becomes a topic, and fair comment. At some point, I assume Gilchrist will explain why he was a member of that party, and what he agreed with them about, and what if anything he disagreed with them about.
