Top Ten Republicans

A brilliant post by Jonathan Swift, a young reasonable conservative whose writing shows quite a bit of élan. I think this guy's got a real future on the Weekly Standard/National Review/American Spectator/WorldNetDaily/Town Hall/Wall Street Journal editorial page "Roundelay of Right-Wing Punditry"! Here's just one of the Republican candidates he's promoting for 2006:

Randy Graf - Arizona-08

The Republican National Committee has already given up on Randy Graf, a former golf pro, just because he is 20 points behind his opponent Gabrielle Giffords. His golfing experience has given him unique insight into the Constitution, which he views as a "rule book" just like the one for golf, only shorter. As a state legislator Graf fought hard for a much needed bill to allow people to carry concealed guns into bars, which would have reduced the epidemic of bar brawls in the state, or at least made them end more quickly. But Graf is running for Congress mainly to do something about the issue he most cares about: illegal immigration. A member of the patriotic Minutemen, his efforts to curtail illegal immigration of non-Europeans by militarizing the border won him the admiration of David Duke. Unfortunately, he won't be able to rely on the expertise of his former campaign manager, who was jailed for having sex with two underaged girls, a crime that Graf said was "no more serious than providing a teenager with a beer." As any grateful teenager can tell you, that's really not so bad at all.


And there are 9 others that are just as forceful. Good to see that ONE conservative is still touting Mark Foley for Congress. And Tom DeLay. Both of whom are still on their respective ballots. Go read the whole thing.
