Finding Courage
California Republican's New Huevos

Los Angeles Times -- December 5
Immigration debate unifies California GOP
Moderates lose ground as the primary focuses
attention on the issue that once split the party
Thirteen years after
a ballot measure against illegal immigration fractured the state
Republican Party, the issue again is front and center in California's
upcoming presidential primary.
Moderates who have argued that an unyielding
stance against illegal immigration would further erode the party's
strength in this increasing polyglot state have effectively been
silenced by GOP forces calling for a hard-line crackdown.
However, Whalen cautioned that candidates
who veer too far right will become susceptible to being branded
as racially divisive, as Wilson was after he backed Proposition
187 during his bid for reelection.
Our Comment: What nonsense. Wilson
united California and was re-elected because of Proposition 187.
Our video "Courage and Capitulation in California"
told the whole story. |

Could
Ron Paul be South Carolina's perfect candidate?
Who is Ron
Paul? If you ask most media outlets, he's a radical, a dark
horse, and at best, a fringe candidate. But he's raised nearly
$10 million in campaign funds during the fourth quarter, as much
as Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and Fred Thompson. And he's done
it without taking money from corporations with special interests.
