p> VISA PROBLEMS? br> Re: Philip Klein’s Promote Pence : /p>

You must be kidding, promote Mr. open borders, comprehensive immigration reform, illegal alien amnesty, Mike Pence? What in God’s name is the matter with the author of this article, is he so elitist and out of touch with middle America that he actually believes that Mike Pence would be an acceptable speaker?

p>Let me explain something to the author. In 2008 the number one issue on everyone’s agenda will be immigration, both illegal and legal, including those who come here on H1B visas. Do you really want the Republicans to have as their leader in the House a person who is associated with amnesty/comprehensive immigration reform. If you want to see an example of what’s coming on the immigration front, watch what happens to the candidacy of John McCain. If the Republicans are actually unconscious enough to nominate this guy they will go down in flames during the ‘08 presidential election and we will end up with a Democrat in the White House. The trouble with most pundits is they are located in the DC/New York corridor and have little understanding of the rest of the country which they so often disdainfully refer to as flyover country. br> — Paul Martell /p>

Amen to Philip Klein’s article on Mike Pence. I don’t know a great deal about him but what I’ve seen I like.

The trouble with Hastert is he is devoid of any charisma. It’s as if he was picked to appease the Democrats.

My Senator, Frist is about the same. Since he is leaving anyway a new leader is going to be appointed.

p>I hope it is as majority leader but if we lose it will be because some of our base stayed home because of a lack of leadership.
