To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.

That's simply an untruth.
John McCain, George Bush and Ted Kennedy were all against amnesty, but were earnestly for a "pathway to citizenship". So is Palin. Save your spin for someone else.
I’m not trying to spin anything. And it’s not worth arguing over. We agree, we are both against amnesty.
Only time will tell whether Palins comments actually mean what you think they do or what I think they do.
I hope you’re wrong, that’s all. ;)
Fair enough. I hope I'm wrong as well.
“I too believe immigration is good, as long as it’s done LEGALLY.”
We now have over 300,000,000 in the country. The roads are crowded, the schools are crowded, the prisons are crowded, etc., etc. Our “social services net” is about to collapse as it is. Most of the population explosion of the last several years is due to immigration. How many more tens of millions do you want to enter our country? Would a goal of 500 million be about right? Or should we only slow immigration when we reach 750 million?
Since a record number of Americans are unemployed, how many more millions of low-wage and mid-wage immigrants do we want to import?
Yes, we disagree on the legal immigration issue. Since I see it as a critically important issue for our country, I am not willing to keep the door wide open to all comers, even if Palin says she is.
No, I don't. The reasons for my opposition to her have been stated clearly and repeatedly on FR. There are three very important main core issues I differ with her on, and they're all on my list of non-negotiables:
1. Her pro-choice for states Ron Paul, John McCain position on abortion. It is one hundred and eighty degrees out of phase with the Declaration of Independence, the stated purposes of the Constitution in the Preamble, the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments, and the Reagan pro-life platform.
2. Her judicial supremacist stance. This came to the fore when she became Governor of Alaska when she vetoed legislation concerning giving benefits to "same-sex" state workers. The legislature had checked an out of control court with that legislation, and Palin's lawyers told her she had to follow the court, which she did.
3. Her McCainesque advocacy of amnesty, cloaked under deceptive language like "a pathway to citizenship."
Her endorsements of John McCain and Rand Paul only serve to highlight these things in a stark fashion.
And her glowing praise for pro-abortion socialist Scott Brown should give any conservative pause.
Good point...
We've simply been lied to too many times by those in government. She either spells out *specifically* what her plans are in regards to the big issues such as immigration, and this violent country killing invasion, as mentioned previously, or she won't get my vote.
Is it asking too much for a potential candidate to reveal their plans and details regarding the big issues?
I’d like to hear yours too
Oh, it's the old republican trick...Ask questions about what the candidates plans and position are, and the groupies turn it around and asks, "Whats yours".
I'm not running for office slick...Ya unnerstand that?
Looks like the title of your thread changed...lol
LOLOLOL
I might be an ankle biter in your eyes but you are hiding under JR's "skirts" in mine. LOL
I wasn’t trying to be slick. You want to hear Palin’s plan on mass deportations and I thought you had your own idea on how that could be pulled off without a lot of blood.I don’t believe it can be done and I believe any pol that says they will do it will NOT get elected.
If you don’t want to join in any serious discussion and just ridicule people and call names,it doesn’t bother me.
It’s not a skirt..it’s a kilt.
(That’s double speak for AMNESTY)
You might want to hang on to that quote, because maybe others will see more in it than I do. I do agree about one thing — it’s important for Palin to keep her supporters assured that she’s not a McCainiac hispanderer.

[Okie’s transcript clarifying Palin’s true position.]
Great tip! I didn’t know that! Thanks!
Of course he has an ulterior motive, he works as the party chairman for a party that is running it’s own candidate against Governor Palin, they also ran against her in 2008.
EV is at work right now, posting here as a professional while the rest of us are merely freepers.
EV has also awarded his party’s formal endorsement to Rand Paul’s weak opponent in the Kentucky Senate race, that is why it is a part of his strategy to work that race into threads.
As a political hack and a political professional, EternalVigilance has unlimited time and energy to devote to his efforts against candidates that challenge his party.
He can also call on party membership to assist him if needed.
Simcox is a total loon who ripped off his org.
he is alsoa RINO covering that he is an anti war libertarian. He is a joke, the token baffoon.
And late entering Hayworth due to paying back money
re Jack Abramoff, etc.
He lost his seat in congress.
Appreciate that some read the information instead of kneejerk replies.
