Comments on: The None-Too-Savvy Mel Martinez Is the New RNC Chair http://patterico.com/2006/11/13/the-none-too-savvy-mel-martinez-is-the-new-rnc-chair/ Harangues that just make sense Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:46:14 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: ImmigrationMarchOrganizersHaveForeignLinks http://patterico.com/2006/11/13/the-none-too-savvy-mel-martinez-is-the-new-rnc-chair/comment-page-1/#comment-107751 ImmigrationMarchOrganizersHaveForeignLinks Thu, 16 Nov 2006 04:23:33 +0000 http://patterico.com/2006/11/13/5382/the-none-too-savvy-mel-martinez-is-the-new-rnc-chair/#comment-107751 Interesting side note: did you know that Mel Martinez is one half of the comedy duo of HagelMartinez? One of their best bits was an immigration plan that would invite 20 to 60 or more million new legal immigrants over 20 years plus millions of new illegal aliens. Plus, they had a lot of fun joking about all the outrageous loopholes in their "bill". What? That was real legislation? As for the Communist groups #13 mentions, it gets even worse: some of the march organizers have links to foreign governments and a foreign political party. See the link for more on those new "GOP voters". Interesting side note: did you know that Mel Martinez is one half of the comedy duo of HagelMartinez?

His own listing pretty much covers the field, and it should be noted does not include the gentleman from Georgia. "Clinton, Romney, McCain, Giuliani, Obama, Frist, Gingrich, Gore, Kerry, Rice, Edwards, Pataki, Biden…" Also, there may be some residual reluctance to consider a favorite son from Georgia, following the disastrous presidency of the Athens peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter. I confess to knowing very little about Sonny Perdue, unless he's a member of the fried chicken Predues who run a chain of fast food restaurants in the South, and who are known to cook up a pretty darn good chicken, and passable biscuits.

Clinton, Romney, McCain, Giuliani, Obama, Frist, Gingrich, Gore, Kerry, Rice, Edwards, Pataki, Biden… Like it or not, the 2008 presidential race is officially underway. What’s missing is a clear front-runner for the Republican nomination. Georgia governor Sonny Perdue is, perhaps, the GOP’s best hope of maintaining control of the White House. Republicans are Mad about Spending and Immigration Perdue balanced the budget in Georgia, which insulates him from the criticisms that face any candidate that comes from our irresponsible, deficit-swelling congress. Perdue passed the toughest immigration legislation in the country, while Washington did nothing. Independents are Mad about the Iraq and Trade Since Perdue wasn’t in Washington during the vote to authorize the Iraq war, he can approach it with an open mind and no political baggage. Regarding trade reform, Perdue can reach out to natural allies like Gingrey, Norwood, Deal, and Westmorland, all of whom have been outspoken about cracking down on Chinese trade abuses (especially regarding child and slave labor). Perdue was the GOP’s Only Bright Light in the Mid-Term Election With Perdue at the top of the ticket, Georgia Republicans picked up both the Lt. Governor and Sectary of State offices and expanded the Republican majority in the statehouse. Republicans in the rest of the country took a “thumpin.” And there’s plenty for the media to like too. Perdue is a veteran, a veterinarian, father of four, foster parent of eight, and was a walk-on quarterback at the University of Georgia. He also has a small role in the upcoming Matthew McConaughey football movie “We Are Marshall”. I challenge anyone looking at the current list of GOP hopefuls to name a stronger candidate than Governor Sonny Perdue. President Sonny Perdue?

Republicans are Mad about Spending and Immigration

Perdue balanced the budget in Georgia, which insulates him from the criticisms that face any candidate that comes from our irresponsible, deficit-swelling congress.

Perdue passed the toughest immigration legislation in the country, while Washington did nothing.

Independents are Mad about the Iraq and Trade

Since Perdue wasn’t in Washington during the vote to authorize the Iraq war, he can approach it with an open mind and no political baggage.

Regarding trade reform, Perdue can reach out to natural allies like Gingrey, Norwood, Deal, and Westmorland, all of whom have been outspoken about cracking down on Chinese trade abuses (especially regarding child and slave labor).

Perdue was the GOP’s Only Bright Light in the Mid-Term Election

With Perdue at the top of the ticket, Georgia Republicans picked up both the Lt. Governor and Sectary of State offices and expanded the Republican majority in the statehouse. Republicans in the rest of the country took a “thumpin.”

And there’s plenty for the media to like too. Perdue is a veteran, a veterinarian, father of four, foster parent of eight, and was a walk-on quarterback at the University of Georgia. He also has a small role in the upcoming Matthew McConaughey football movie “We Are Marshall”.

I challenge anyone looking at the current list of GOP hopefuls to name a stronger candidate than Governor Sonny Perdue.

Most would vote socialist if that was an option. That's why communist groups are involved with illegal alien marches and such. They get responsiveness from the crowd. Part of the reason it is skewed that way is because they are here with disregard for our laws. They've been skewed towards those who have a sense of 'entitlement', already. That's a perfect audience for Democrats. But even if it would swing them to be Conservatives for life, it would still be wrong.
