After wondering for months about how serious Romney was on tackling illegal immigration and the strange endorsement of Tom Tancredo after dropping out of the race, Romney has issued the coup de grace. Mitt Romney has appointed Immigration Warrior Kris Kobach to his advisory staff. Who is Kris Kobach? Well you may remember Kris as the lead attorney in defending Hazleton, Pennsylvania's Illegal Immigration Relief Act. Kris has been a leader in the fight against illegal immigration in this country and his addition to the Romney team shows that he is deadly serious about ending...

It is never a sign of strength when your group, country or otherwise starts imposing loyalty oaths, or so I told Kansas Republican Party Chairman Kris Kobach over the phone on Tuesday. “That’s probably a fair criticism,” he said. Yet, beginning next January, the state GOP will begin purging its leadership — all the way down to the precinct level — of any party official who actively supports non-Republicans for office. “One weakness we’ve had is that on...

Dennis Moore has rolled up about $2 million in campaign contributions, more than twice the amount raised by his Republican challenger, Kris Kobach. Moore, a Democrat seeking a fourth term, picked up fund-raising momentum in early October, bringing in about $181,000 during the first two weeks of the month. Kobach raised about $71,000 during the same time. Records also show that Kobach has started reimbursing himself for the more than $50,000 he's donated to his own campaign. The contributions were not listed as loans, however, which could complicate whether he is able to repay himself. The amount raised...

A debate took place between Moore and Kobach, I watched it tonight. First of all, Dennis Moore is MORE liberal than John Kerry. A certain liberal magazine rated John Kerry 85 on a scale of 100. Dennis Moore got a 90!!!!! Secondly, John Kerry seems charismatic compared to Dennis Moore. That's saying a lot!! As to the debate, Kobach absolutely destroyed Moore. Kobach exposed the leftist Moore's record: http://activote.ontheissues.org/AVA/House/Dennis_Moore.htm He knocked Moore off his game many times. This guy is a REAL rising star in the Republican party. He's a former... n/a http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1249400/posts#comment Tue, 19 Oct 2004 02:16:34 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1191657/posts Cheney will host a breakfast fundraiser for Kris Kobach in Johnson County, KS on August 24th at the Overland Park Ritz Charles.

How do you defeat U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore, a Democrat, and end his astonishing record of beating the GOP three times in a heavily Republican district? Moore amazed Kansas Republicans six years ago by defeating an incumbent Republican congressman, Rep. Vince Snowbarger, an Olathe conservative. In two subsequent elections, he has proved that his 1998 victory wasn't a fluke. Three elections have shown that 50 percent of the voters appear comfortable with the 58-year-old congressman from Lenexa who spent 12 years as...

(AP) -- Kris Kobach's already tiny lead over rival Adam Taff for the Republican nomination in the 3rd Congressional District became a little narrower Friday after a review of provisional ballots in two counties. The reviews in Douglas and Wyandotte counties left Kobach's lead at only 81 votes out of more than 87,100 cast -- a net gain of six votes for Taff from unofficial results reported Tuesday night. Wyandotte County added 244 provisional ballots and Douglas County added...

Taff, who ran against Moore in 2002 and narrowly lost was expected to coast to the nomination, but has run into Kris Kobach, who is running as a "pure" conservative and emphasizing social issues. Taff, who has always positioned himself as a moderate, recently got creamed in a straw...
