WDL endorses Ron Paul

The Waxahachie Daily Light endorse Ron Paul’s run for the White House Friday:

In the race for the Republican nomination for the president of the United States, the one candidate we feel offers America’s best hope for much needed change is Texas Congressman Ron Paul.

While candidates in both parties have seized upon the message of change, in reality, with the exception of one candidate, the change being promised is a shift from one special interest group to another.

Ron Paul is the only true candidate of change.

Largely ignored by the mainstream media, he has trailed the GOP frontrunners in the initial primaries. He has been labeled as a “radical” by the established political guard in Washington. They fear his message because they know, if Paul is elected, things will change in D.C.

Huckabee signs immigration pledge

I’m disappointed in this…

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has become the first presidential candidate to sign the “No Amnesty” pledge from NumbersUSA, a self-proclaimed “immigration-reduction organization” and Americans for Better Immigration. The pledge calls for no “amnesty or any other special path to citizenship for the millions of the foreign nationals unlawfully present in the United States.”

Huckabee, who had been hammered by conservatives for his “liberal’ stands on immigration when he was in office, has taken more anti-immigration positions since the fall. He signed the pledge during a visit to the small Christian college of North Greenville University.

If we offer “no amnesty or any other special path to citizenship for the millions of the foreign nationals unlawfully present in the United States” are we going to send each and every person who’s here “illegally” home or are we going to be willing to lock them all up and keep them in our prisons?

Is your candidate running?

Michael Bloomberg
Folks are talking more and more and more about NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg possibly running for president.
Everywhere he goes folks are asking and so far he’s still saying “No.”
But how can we know for sure? I mean really?

NPR’s Robert Smith devised a simple solution that should work for any and all possible presidential candidates. Now if only someone could get a similar card for vice-presidential candidates.

Huckabee: Marriage not 50/50

Love this answer from Huckabee last night – he was asked about an add that ran in the NY Times talking about women submitting to their husband.

“Marriage is not a 50/50 deal where each partner gets 50%. Biblically marriage is a 100/100 deal where each partner gives 100% of their devotion to each other. That’s why marriage is an important institution because it teaches us how to love.”

Huckabee on Colbert

Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee will be a guest on Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report” with host Steven Colbert on Wednesday, January 9, 2008.

Governor Huckabee will discuss his recent victory in the Iowa Caucuses, success in the New Hampshire Primary, and growing momentum for the campaign. (Check local listings.)

Looking forward to this. He was great on The Daily Show and Leno.
Haven’t watched the Letterman show yet but I’ll be sure to add this one to the DVR as well.
