With all of the buzz surrounding recent College Republican figures endorsing John McCain for President, and the donations given to some of the figures who endorsed Sen. McCain, Students for Brownback Chairman Billy Valentine has issued a brief statement in response:
"It is no surprise that College Republicans continue to sell out the conservative movement to moderate Senator John McCain considering the large sums of cash he has been offering for their souls. Unlike Senator McCain, Senator Brownback has been winning College Republican support through his consistent conservative record, something that money simply can't buy."
We at Red State Rampage have been very vocal in our criticisms of the McCain campaign for seemingly buying College Republican support, so it is refreshing to see another voice, especially one from another candidate's team, picking up on this. Back in the fall, Sen. Sam Brownback spoke to over 400 students and College Republicans in Ohio, and Brownback will also be a featured speaker at CPAC this coming March.

Brownback could possibly get some money from all the illegal immigranst he loves to have in America. He can take his F on immigration and his La Raza wards and shove it.
Conservative principles? Please. If Brownback had the money he would do it too.
That does happen to be my biggest problem with Sen. Brownback. He seems to hold conservative ideals in every area but that, and it is a big one to differ on. The way that I have had it explained to me is that Brownback sees immigration as a humanitarian issue rather than one of national security. I beg to differ, but at least he has a reason to back up his position other than looking good for Hispanic voters.
haaaaaaaaaahahahahaha this primary is gonna be awesome
All I want is one solid across the board conservative, or at least someone I can live with on 95% of the issues. Oddly enough, I see Rudy, Newt, and Brownback as the closest things, each of them with varying degrees of viability.
This is all fine and good to discuss, but Brownback isnt going anywhere - we all know that.
McCain has the best chance to be president in 2008. Rudy is probably second. Brownback would have to do a lot of PR work to actually get his name out there. Ask most people on the east coast and they have no idea who he is. McCain on the other hand has a huge advantage (money-wise also).
Plus McCain doesn't have awards from La Raza.
Justify it to yourself however you want, but McCain and Rudy are not Conservatives. If you think Bush has sold out Conservatives, wait until a McCain Presidency where someone like John Kerry will be Secretary of Defense.
Neither is Brownback, his La Raza awards and his pressing for billions of dollars of aid for AFRICA
Only the reality of the situation is that McCain is the only one that has a chance to win in the upcoming election. Say what you want, but plenty of democrats are going to vote for him. We saw what happened in 2006 when plenty of decent GOP candidates were up for election...the country rebuked them. That is why we need a moderate in the white house. Regardless of how you think, I would much rather have a moderate republican than a Radical Liberal.
