As I am reading this, I am simply amazed. This is the first time I have heard anybody, let alone a politician, be 100% correct about what is happening. I'm really impressed by the fact that he is republican but doesn't fall in step with all the other neocons. He pretty much summed up everything I would have said about this situation.

II live in Texas and I feel the same way, that is why I keep writing to the governor of Pennysilvania, asking him to please run for President.  His name is Edward Rendell, and in his state landlords who house these illegals are fined, and the illegals deported.  If there is a second offense the property is taken, and given to the community for low cost housing. \nAny company caught hiring illegals recieves a big fine, and loses their business licenses.  \nAll of the schools are being forced to check the legal status of all of the children, to make sure none are enrolled under stolen identities.  And, he is just now celebrating with his state the largest tax cut ever recorded in the state.  He has taken a hard line when it comes to protecting his people, and this is the kind of president I want.  His people told him that they wanted the illegal Alien laws enforced, and he did it.  He is a real politician for the people, and that is what America needs.  No more candidates telling us they don't care what we want, they have their own agenda, and it does not include the American people.\nI went to every politicians web site that I could find to see what politicians are out there that we as Americans might want as Candidates.  After an exhuasting search, and reading the same crap over and over, I finally came across Mr. Rendell's web site.  I looked over his agenda, and believe me, I haven't seen that kind of interest from a politician in his people since, never actually.  I have heard of them, but I thought they were a myth, like illegals being immigrants.  I've wrote his office to ask him if he is running, and I awaiting his response.  I might not live in his state, but I want him as my next president.  No more Bush's or any of his crooked comrads.

Having read there party platform I agree with them on many points.  Im most likely to vote Republican in most major races but I wouldnt rule out a Constitution Party candidate.

"The Republic of Texas is no more," proclaimed Anson Jones, the last president of the republic, as he stood on the steps of the old wooden Capitol building in Austin and hauled down the Lone Star flag. The date was Feb. 19, 1846, and the ceremony was the culmination of years of effort on the part of Jones, Sam Houston and other Texas leaders who orchestrated Texas' annexation into the union. \n\nBy all historical accounts, Texas officially joined the Union on Dec. 29, 1845. It has been a state for more than 150 years. But now, a beleaguered group calling itself the Republic of Texas is capturing headlines with its claim that Texas annexation violated the United States Constitution. Despite more than 150 years of calling itself a state, the group argues, Texas remains a sovereign, independent nation. \n\nThe self-styled Republic of Texas has taken its argument to the Supreme Court of Texas, which dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction. The group also has petitioned the International Court of Justice at The Hague; the court refused to hear its application. Nor would the U.S. State Department listen to its contention. Since then, the group has begun filing phony property liens, including a $93 trillion lien against the assets of the state of Texas, and last weekend it took two people hostage. So the time has come to take a serious look at the group's claim that Texas' annexation was illegal. \n\nThe group argues that since Texas was an independent nation in 1845, and nations make agreements by treaty, the United States could annex Texas only by treaty. Only Congress has the power to admit new states, so a treaty would have relegated Texas to territorial status. Moreover, the U.S. Senate was in no mood to ratify an annexation treaty in 1845. It had rejected just such a treaty in 1844. Thus was born the idea of annexing Texas -- as a state -- by joint resolution of Congress. A joint resolution required only a majority vote in each house, and Congress could admit new states. \n\nThe group's claim that the joint resolution was unconstitutional is not original. It was raised in both houses of Congress during the debates, and a majority of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations reported against the resolution on that ground. \n\nNevertheless, Congress passed the joint resolution consenting to Texas' annexation, and President John Tyler signed it on March 1, 1845. The Congress of Texas unanimously accepted the resolution on June 18, and a constitutional convention, convened on July 4, drafted a new state constitution. \n\nThe annexation proposal was submitted to the people of Texas and ratified by an overwhelming majority on Oct. 13, 1845. The U.S. Congress quickly adopted a Texas statehood resolution, and President James K. Polk (who had taken office in the interim) signed it on Dec. 29, 1845. \n\nTexas' annexation marked the first time in history that a sovereign nation voluntarily relinquished its sovereignty and became a part of another nation. Was it constitutional? Under international law -- and the group claims its status is governed by the law of nations -- no nation has the right to question its agreement with another nation by claiming that the other nation violated its own law. \n\nIn any event, in an 1868 case called Texas vs. White, the Supreme Court held that once Texas became a state in 1845, its union with the other states was complete, perpetual and indissoluble. In a 1901 case, the Supreme Court said that territory acquired by conquest or treaty is acquired "as absolutely as if the annexation were made, as in the case of Texas ... , by an act of Congress." \n\nNor did the state of Texas reassert its independence in 1861, as the group argues, by seceding from the Union. As Texas vs. White makes clear, Texas' attempt at secession was void from the beginning. \n\nThe Republic of Texas insists that since Texas is an independent nation, its status is governed by intern

Your problem is you grew up in a vacuum in Santa Barbara California: you are arrogant, selfish and self-centered, you are a bigot, your view on the world is myopic and most importantly, your sarcasm is juvenile and third-rate. \n\nTruth be told, Texas, while not perfect by any means, has a hell of a lot less problems than The People's Republik of California.

I think he has a good chance, but it depends on how many Texans are willing to take that chance. But yes, by now everyone's sick of politicians making promises and not keeping them, they would be more apt to trust someone that just seems more honest. He seems like he means what he says.

Check on this, but I believe in Texas you have his \n"power of attorney", as his wife.

He already knows that and Texas is his home now and as a matter of fact, he was Governor of Texas for two terms. Get your facts together. And he is a TEXAN.

Yes. I have voted several times for either the libertarian candidate or the Constitution party candidate, usually the latter.  The libertarian party is not unified, and many would compromise severely.  I am along the lines of L. Neil Smith or Vin Suprynowicz.  I would vote for them.  All gun control laws are unconstitutional and must be repealed.  That is the first thing.  Taxes need to be whacked all to pieces.  Much of the bureaucracy of government is not needed and is unconstitutional.  There isn't a dime's worth of difference between the republicans and the democrats in practice.  I am prolife, but if that is put back at the state level, it may be sufficient.  The drug war is totally unconstitutional.

Exactly, why the hell not!\n\nConsider the alternatives. Perry is a clone of the past governor.\nStrahorn is a conservative that can't get the approval of her own party.\n\nAnd - who know who the democrat guy is.....\n\nGo Kinky.
