Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minutemen project, has endorsed Mike Huckabee, because of Huck's new plan to combat illegal immigation. But in 2005, Huck said, "I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families &, to a largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing ovation in a speech about immigration.

), but isn't Huckabee the guy who thinks the world is just 6000 years old and the dinosaur bones were put here by Satan to confuse us?

How dare a man have sincere religious beliefs!
Some of his are even contradictory to mine, but seriously, attack the man and his policies, not who he worships.

Especially if a pro-2A like Ron Paul is running as a third-party candidate.
The Minutemen have been a little "PC" for my tastes. I'm more interested in who Ranch Rescue endorses....

I seriously and quite often disagree with Riley on alot of stuff...but....
If someone believes in that kind of crazy crap, do we really want them running our country? I mean, come on, believing the world is 6,000 years old or that Dino bones are a plant by satan....he might as well say the world is flat.

I think Mike gets undeserved beating on immigration. Just because he supported scholarships for children of illegals who were "A" students does not mean he is for illegal immigration. Yes, he is not Tancredo (Thank God) but if you want Tancredo vote for Tancredo. I personally find nothing absurd of a Minuteman supporting Mike.
Huck did not just do that one scholarship thing, he has also opposed crackdowns of illegals, and made a number of statements supporting their being in the U.S. illegally. So I'd say it is very absurd for anyone anti-illegal alien to support him.
I did some more reading and learned that there has been some big splintering of Gilchrist's Minutemen group. Anyone know the story behind that, at least in a nutshell?

It's crazy season. Maybe he's short on Vitamin D.
