He'll be in the corner with Rudy, John and Mitt trying to explain to Duncan Hunter why another forty million nonenglish speaking illiterates is a good idea for America.
My mistake. The correct position, which the ACU supports is to oppose the Kennedy-Clinton-Chafee-McTreason act.
Duncan Hunter does it a lot better.
I don't know much about Duncan Hunter.
PING
I am not surprised by Lugar as he is very, very liberal. He is pushing the UN Sea treaty that Reagan refused to support. He also sponsored a bill to guard the perimeter of North America by moving the obrder to the southern part of Mexico.
I don't know that much about Brownback except I do remember him voting for the comprehensive immigration reform bill.

Brownback Enlists Key Iowa Conservative Leader
Noted pro-life activist offers support
DES MOINES, Ia. - U.S. Senator Sam Brownback today announced that he has enlisted the support of Kim Lehman, President and Executive Director of Iowa Right to Life, for his upcoming Iowans for Brownback Leadership Committee.
"For those who care about protecting the unborn and supporting the right to life, Senator Brownback is the clear choice," said Lehman. "While other candidates are in the process of defining and refining their position at the
start of this campaign, Senator Brownback has been principled, consistent, and unwavering in his support for the right to life."
Senator Brownback expressed his appreciation for the early support, saying, "I am gratified to have the support of Kim Lehman, as her support in Iowa will be essential for success in 2008. I am proudly and unequivocally pro-life, and I look forward to optimistically and compassionately articulating the pro-life position in this upcoming campaign."
Since 2000, Lehman has been Iowa Right to Life's Executive Director and chief lobbyist. She was the State Director for Concerned Women for America before her taking her current position at Iowa Right to Life.
Lehman continued, "Senator Brownback has also been a tremendous advocate for a judiciary that respects the law and does not legislate from the bench. Further, he has plainly stated his opposition to the tragic Roe v. Wade
decision, which legalized abortion for all nine months of pregnancy. I look forward to working with Iowans from all 99 counties to enlist support for Senator Brownback and his quest for the Republican nomination."
Support from the pro-life community in Iowa will be critical in the 2008 Republican caucus. An August 2006 poll reported by the Des Moines Register of likely GOP caucus-goers found that while a large majority are pro-life (70 percent), nearly half (46 percent) said the issue of abortion will be a key determining factor in whom they decide to support.
I'm willing to listen to Duncan Hunter. At this point, though, I know absolutely nothing about him.
He's got to start doing some name recognition work if he expects to have a prayer of a chance.
Life is the most critical issue in any election.
Without the Right to Life no other right is important. Dead people don't vote.
Thank you. This takes care of brownback for me.
Brownback is most definitely NOT a RINO. He is far and away more conservative than McCain, Guiliani, or Romney. Do more research.
I will definitely vote for someone like him over either Rudi or McCain in the primaries.
Where does he stand on civil unions? I shouldn't have to ask in that he says he defines marriage as one man, one woman. But the word games being what they are -- where does he stand on civil unions or whatever else one might choose to call gay marriage? How about gay adoption? ENDA?
