"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
If that is the ticket, I'm going to be too busy on election day to vote.

John McCain is a Democart. If the good citizens of his state are too ill equiped to figure that out, I can't help it.
John should have served prison time for his participation in the Ketting Five fiasco. He and John Glenn skated. Keeting went to prison. They were intimately involved for big bucks.
As for Lindsey Graham, I used to like the guy quite a bit. His most recent public comments have left me flat. Sorry Lindsey, don't ask me to support someone who has gone wobbley.
You just stated:
I said specifically that McCain is moderate or moderate conservative.
From post #202
McCain is from the right- that's moderate conservative or conservative.
Sounds like two different statements to me.
If you want to believe McCain is a conservative go ahead but you'll never get very many people to agree with that opinion.
Here's how I look at it: I'm not in that district so it's up to the people who are to decide but the illegal immigration issue is just as important as the Iraq war imo. They're both related to homeland security and the fight against terrorism. On that score Gilchrist gets an A++ and nothing you say here will change that.
YOU just flip flopped! A true Reaganite would not support Gilchrist and his liberal American Independence Party.
I'm to the right which is conservative or moderate. That's not flip flopping. I've supported the Iraq War from day one and myself served in earlier rounds of the Persian Gulf War.
Reagan, McCain, Graham, and myself are veterans and to the right.
Look, I don't support any politician 100% of the time. I have my own philosophies. McCain's sound judgement and experience is what we want in the White House. He's a true warrior (and former POW) and a Patriotic American.
Isn't "Keeting" spelled Keating?? Are you referring to the grandfather of Olympian Gary Hall Jr.?
Here is a statement from the Founder of Free Republic:
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
(Emphasis mine.)
May I suggest that these views are not congruent.
The authorities then do not need to inspect abortion clinic records as often, but instead rely on the physician's professional word.
Can you name another instance where the government is content to rely solely on the business's word?
Can you name another area of medical-related practice which is not regulated up the wazoo?
Yes, by all means, a woman who is raped should be permitted to have an aboriton.
My remarks about political footballs apparently were not sufficient. Look up the abortionists' OWN statistics on the prevalance of rape-induced pregnancies. The overwhelming majority of abortions are not due to rape, so why use a small minority of cases to determine law for all time? (Recall again that McCorvey of Roe v. Wade falsely claimed rape.)
And you did not answer my question about access to abortion clinic records to prosecute statutory rape.
Also, we are men. It's the woman's body and it's her decision.
A baldfaced lie. Half the genetic material comes from a man.
You are now firmly in the troll camp.
Cheers!
First off where did I say I supported Gilchrist's candidacy, it was only stated that on homeland security: ie getting the borders under control he gets an A++. If you care to dispute that be my guest.
Second I'm not the one supposedly running for office, you are. It's your flip flops that count and the ones people pay attention to.
Reagan, McCain, Graham, and myself are veterans and to the right.
Lumping Reagan with McCain is an insult to both the man and the conservative movement he advanced in the 1980s. McCain isn't fit to shine RR's shoes.
McCain's role model is Reagan! My role model is Reagan! Bush's role model is Reagan! We share the same vision for America.
Also, I DO NOT oppose Jim Gilchrist's effort to bring attention the dangers and cost of illegal immigration. I started this thread to determine if he was a liberal. I've concluded that he is.
Yes, I agree with the majority of Free Republic's stance on conservatism. I'm a veteran remember?
That's the only sensible approach IMO.
McCain's sound judgement and experience is what we want in the White House.
I cannot consider it sound judgement for a sitting U.S. Senator to participate in action that put off criminal charges against a person who not only helped raise over $100,000.00 for his own political campaigns, but also arranged hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal loans for his family. Keating also paid for upwards of ten trips for him and family. He also put McCain up at one or more of this Carribean properties on more than one occassion.
I know people who lost their whole life savings in the Keating Lincoln Savings fiasco. John McCain was partially responsibled for Keating remaining untouchable for years so that thousands more people could be scammed out of their life savings.
In a comment to the press about Keating, John McCain stated, "I used poor judgement." Yeah, I'll say. It's an insult of the highest order to have this miscreant foist himself off as the leader of reasoned campaign finance reform. Why not just place the fox in charge of the chicken coop?
He's a true warrior (and former POW) and a Patriotic American.
I'm a true patriotic American as well. I wasn't a POW, but I do recognize a criminal when I see one.
As for John's POW years, I don't know enough about them to comment. I do know there are some people out there who are not from the left, and aren't as convinced as you are that they were served honorably. This area of John's life is a mystery to me. I was not there. I don't know what actually took place. That's why I think it's a poor idea to use his POW years as proof that he is now innocent of wrong doing. Even if his five and one half years as a POW were served honorably, which they may have been, what has that to do with a criminal act perpetrated a decade or two later?
IMO, using an honorable thing to descredit the calls for an open investigation regarding criminality is a very poor thing to do. This John did on a number of occassions.
Isn't "Keeting" spelled Keating?? Are you referring to the grandfather of Olympian Gary Hall Jr.?
To the first question, yes. To the second, I don't know.
I fail to understand how you can label this guy as a man with "sound judgement" or someone we want in the White House. I've had my fill of crooks in the White House.
Well, you indicated that you don't know enough about McCain's POW experience, I must say that I don't know enough about the Keating scandle to really comment (even though I attended the University of Arizona). I trust that our judicial system did whatever is appropriate by law in the case.
Did you support Clinton's adventures in the Balkans? A heck of a lot of conservatives did. Did we not "support the troops"?
Did our judicial system and courts do the appropriate thing with regard to Clinton?
I appreciate the additional comments. Take care.
Meant to say Did you support Clinton's adventures in the Balkans? A heck of a lot of conservatives did not.
He plans to move here when he graduates from college. Until then he will bless us with his 20 yr old's expertise on the world and his devotion to the borderless world.
Do you oppose President Bush's guest worker plan?
"And note that Senator McCain campaigned side-by-side on behalf of President Bush for the 2004 election. "
I noticed you didnt try and contend any of the issues I presented with regard to CFR and the big lie of "global warming" that he and Hillary clinton promoted in Alaska. Those issues are indefensible, and it doesnt matter if he supported Bush, the man is an egomaniac and HAD to do it if he wanted the nomination in 08 WHICH HE WILL NOT GET, MARK MY WORDS.
"Someone had to work something out to avoid a Democratic filibuster and it was McCain and the "Dimwit 7" who came to the rescue. "
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!! The "rescue"?
"I expect the 2008 GOP ticket for the Presidency to be Senators McCain and Lindsey Graham."
That won't happen. Thanks to the things you've said in this thread regarding McCain, abortion, etc...we know exactly where you stand. There's a term for the type of Republican you and John McCain exemplify: RINO.

In fact the current anti-illegals movement has no reqard for states rights. They want the federal government to dictate to the states who they can issue drivers licenses to,....
States don't have the right to violate federal immigration laws by aiding and abetting illegal aliens. Giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens is aiding and abetting them.
Thanks for the advice, la razist troll.
"McCain's role model is Reagan!"
HAHHAHAHAHA, you are cracking me up!!!!! Reagan would have never supported CFR, a leftist attack of free speech.
Jmc; We agree here completely! I was in the military myself at that time. When Clinton deployed troops to the Balkans or attacked Iraq, we Americans stood together.
Then along comes the liberals (who have no agenda) and their news media that used the Iraq War issue as a tool to sabotage President Bush and then gain back the White House. The strategy completely failed. Michael Moore, Sean Penn, and Dan Rather attacking Bush completely failed.
Along those lines is the Cindy Sheehan protest. The liberal media has blown it out of proportion when there are actually only a handful of Sheehan supporters......... On the contrary, presently, there are now more Pro-Americans at the Crawford Ranch supporting the troops, but the liberal media is not advertising that.
That is why I'm exploiting the fact the Jim Gilchrist has liberal viewpoints in opposing the Iraqi invasion. His American Independence Party is liberal anti-war. That's not the type of politician that we want in Congress.
