Rep King is my rep too and he's a WONDERFUL one. He's a real hawk on illegal immigration, a TRUE conservative and a real thorn in the left's side!

He'd make an OUTSTANDING president!

He's my Rep as well. I live near Red Oak.

Why we have such wonderful hard-core conservatives in the Party and we put up a squishy RINO like McCain as the nominee for the Republican Party for President is beyond me!

Pure and simple, we let the opposition choose our candidate in 2008.

That...and the absence of any truly conservative candidate from the race.

I completely agree and if I had the power to appoint the next president, it would be Congressman King.
