RIGHTOSPHERE TEMPERATURE CHECK - LONG VERSION

John Hawkins of Right Wing News polled a bunch of right wing bloggers (including me) on various issues and has posted the not-too-surprising results. Here's the explanations for my choices:

1) Are you pleased that the Senate immigration bill did not pass?
Yes - The only immigration bill we need is a big-ass fence and a removal of perks for non-citizens.

2) Do you think Mel Martinez has been an effective RNC chairman?
No - Democrats don't wet themselves in fear at the mention of his name.

3) Do you believe that we should be willing to use the US military to stop the fighting in Sudan?
No - Not unless they have strategic resources like oil, or if it would be helpful to establish military bases there to prosecute the War on Terror.

4) Do you think that the Bush administration or CIA knew that 9/11 was coming and deliberately did nothing to stop it or alternately, helped execute the 9/11 attacks?
No - I've never seen any evidence to support either theory.

5) Do you believe that President Bush intends to merge the United States with Canada and Mexico in order to form a North American Union?
No - If anything, we're going in the opposite direction, since they're imposing passport requirements to visit those countries. Although personally, I wouldn't mind inviting Canada to become States 51-60. They're civilized and technologically advanced enough to fit in fairly well plus they speak English.

6) How would you rate the relationship of the Republican party with its conservative base right now?
Poor - Where's my tax cuts? Where's my cheap, stolen oil? Where's my piles of dead terrorists?

7) Which 2008 Republican presidential candidate do you think is most likely to win the Republican nomination. So, this is not your favorite candidate, it's the candidate you think will come out on top.
Rudy Giuliani - Not who I want to win, but pending any dirt or disgrace, he seems pretty solid. I currently have no reason to believe that Fred Thompson will overtake him, but then again, Fred hasn't officially announced, yet, so this may change.
