Ha ha ha... those of you who spread those slanderous rumors about Thompson dropping out of the race to endorse McCain can kiss my butt! Here's a link to a story on the Politico to prove it: http://nerepublicanramble.blogspot.com
Even though he came in third, I feel that he will arise from the pack and make a surprise finish in the following primaries and caucus!
STAY TUNED FRED-HEADS and lets keep up the support!

Reactions to the Iowa Caucus'
I have some very mixed opinions as to the result of tonights caucus'; Republican and Democrat. So anyone who has read my previous posts knows that I now back Thompson. Well I feel that Thompson's 13% showing was "fair", but typical to Iowa. The evangelicals have a strong influence behind Huckabee and Romney has sunk thousands of dollars.. why wouldn't we expect him to atleast land second. Thompson did better vote wise than McCain and I feel that people nationally will find Thompson as the candidate who is "middle of the road" and a candidate that has a solid record for what he stands for. Thompson is also not a candidate running soley on religous zeal, money, or on issues they have recently come to hold vital. As to the slanderous rumors of Fred dropping out... I feel that this was a ploy released by rival campaigns to hurt Thompson's campaign and win some last minute votes... but we shall see. If Thompson does drop out... well I'll keep you all in suspense as to who I will support.
As for the Democraps:
I wasn't shocked to see Obama take the win, but was suprised to see Edwards step up and take the lead over Clinton. I think Edwards has been over-looked, but don't think that this one state caucus will be the end of Clinton by any means.
As for former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee:
My biggest qualms with Mike is his support for the Fair Tax. As a fiscal conservative, I feel the Fair Tax is too deceptive and a flawed system that looks good on paper, but better than it sounds and would take a miracle to enact. I also have been very disgusted with the "jokes" he has made and his overall disregard for the seriousness of a run for the Presidency. As a Christian man, I look for a candidate who is a fellow believer, but though a Baptist minister, I question many of the things he has said and done. Lastly, we need a candidate who when up against the evils of Obama, Clinton, or Edwards can of course carry the base, but also pull in the center, independents, and conservative democrats... Huckabee is not that man.
In five days is the New Hampshire Primary and we will see how the candidates fare there. I'm not sure if we will have a candidate by Feb. or if we will have to wait until the convention to find our Republican candidate. Keep a close watch to my blog and especially concerning Fred Thompson!

GET OUT & STAY OUT!
The biggest story coming out of Nebraska right now has to be the story of a 25 year-old school teacher running away to Mexico with a 12 year-old student. This took place in Lexington, NE, known for its meat packing plants and Meixcan residents. The student is an illegal who was brough over by his mother & people are making a big deal over the fact that the boy was caught and will not be allowed to ever come back over to the U.S. or to apply for legal citizenship. I don't see why people view this as a bad thing. People who come over here illegally and get caught should be deported and put on a list of VIOLATORS & never be allowed to reapply for citizenship.
There are plenty of people wanting in our country who will do it the legal way. I've heard all the B.S. about the devestation this will have on our economy & that illegals are doing the jobs Americans don't want to do. Thats B.S. The only reason they have the jobs they do, is b/c employers can get lots of hard physical labor out of them for little to nothing! When those illegals are doprted, the employers are going to have no choice but to increase the pay for their work- American citizens are screwing themselves out of money if anything. And if there is a need for more workers, then a partnership program needs to be set up between the homeless shelters & unemployement centers b/c there are tons of people out there who could use a job. That or offer to relocate all the unemployed in Northern Michigan!
So I am a hardliner when it comes to immigration. That's b/c I have seen the injustices suffered by American citizens first hand. The thing that has pushed me over the edge on this issue, is illegal's paying in-state prices for their college educations & getting large scholarships, while my parents have busted their asses to pay my way through college! There is a legal way to citizenship & thats the only way! We need more ICE raids, so that we can get them out and keep them out!
P.S. We need to abolish all laws granting citizenship to the children of illegals born in this country- ANCHOR BABY LAWS!

Who I am now supporting & why!
Well after much consideration & much much research, I have decided to support former Senator Fred Thompson. With Senator Brownback being my first choice, I looked for a candidate that was similar on the issues I hold key! Thompson is pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, pro-growth, and more of a fiscal & social conservative- which is what I'm looking for. So best of luck Fred & I will keep up on my blogging- not only about Fred, but about all political news!
A Sad Day in American Politics
As many of you have probably heard, Senator Brownback will be holding a press conference today in Topeka to announce that he will be dropping out of the 2008 Presidential Race!
Sam Brownback is a remarkable man & a truly caring man. He was out to better America, no to advance the Repulican Party agenda. Lets hope that some of these Rhinos that are running as Republicans & Conservatives will be wise enough to consider Brownback for a Vice Presidential nomination.
Now that Brownback has dropped from the race, I will support the person I feel is most like him & will also be hoping that Brownback can get a V.P. nomination. There is probably only one candidate that could nominate Brownback for V.P. & that candidate is Giuliani- there is no possible way I could support him! So I wish the best for Brownbacks future political campaign & will be looking forward to any future runs

Johanns for U.S. Senate 2008
I am very glad to throw my support behind former Nebraska Governor & U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns in his bid for U.S. Senate.
Thankfully, we Nebraskans will no longer have to suffer under the reign of Senator Chuck Hagel & we have a great leader like Mike Johanns running to better represent us. We must band together and on May 13th go to the polls & elect Mike Johanns as our next U.S. Senator.
The other two candidates for U.S. Senate, Pat Flynn & Jon Brunning, are both good men and great Republicans, but I have chosen to support the candidate I feel is most qualified!

I'm Back & More Opinionated Than Ever
After 6 months of working on Senator Brownback's Presidential campaign in Iowa, I have returned to Nebraska and have resumed my blogging. So watch out liberals, democrats, and rhino's.
Senator Sam Brownback is the only true fiscal & social conservative running & as Conservatives & Republicans, we should stand behind this man- regardless of "electability" & "popularity". The other thing we need in a President, is someone who will work to better this country and not someone who just wants to advance party agenda's. An example of Brownback being just this, is his frequent work in foreign policy- Darfur, Beruma- and also his frequent bi-partisan efforts with Senator Joe Biden & Barbra Boxer on a solution in Iraq.
Conservatives need to be cautious of other candidates who call themselves fiscal & social conservatives. In this 2008 election we have several snakes running. We have several candidates to be cautious of, but here are 2. The first is pro-choice, pro-same sex marriage, and changes his stances on key issues as much as the wind changes direction. Yes, this candidate was governor of a liberal state and would have to be more "understanding" to liberal ideas, but shouldn't we be worried that he was so well liked in such a liberal state? This candidate CAN NOT BE TRUSTED, unless you can buy him off! The 2nd candidate, raised more taxes as Governor, than Governor Clinton. He rides on the title of being a minister and a man of faith, which is very appealing to evangelicals. I urge voters to look into this mans past and records before supporting him. This candidate had assistance at the Iowa straw poll from a special interest group that wants to raise our already high taxes by 30% (which they won't come out and say)- this taxation applies to ALL, including churches & our federal government. When a 30% tax increase is applied to our federal government & they go to buy a million dollar tank, where do you think they're going to get the money to pay that extra 30%?? Hmmm? Lastly, just recently this candidate made the remark that any of his contenders who have raised thousands of dollars, but have not moved in the polls, should be sitting in a bath of warm water with razor blades. Suicide is NEVER funny & any candidate who thinks so, especially a minister/ man of faith, should be rejected and forced from the race. Here is a link to the video footage of Mike Huckabee joking about suicide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-2Sb7dFsvM . And now he came out saying that the joke was not about suicide. Hmm, what else does one do in a tub of warm water with razor blades? Maybe he was suggesting some of these males candidates needed to shave their legs? I am sickened by Huckabee!
Well i have been holding in so much for 6 months, so stay tuned for more ramblings from this Nebraska Republican!
