As a die-hard CA Teaparty supporter, I would support Scott Walker in a heartbeat. He is conservative, and not afraid (unlike Boehner) to stand up to the Dems.

Major Walker ping!

I've hoped for some years now that she would put aside her loyalty and call him out for continuing to go against what is good for the country. He no longer deserves her support

Well said, Lake. McCain has proven over and over and over again that he holds no fealty to our most fundamental American concepts. It shows in everything he says and does -- yet Sarah feels honor bound to stand by her 'friend'.

Comes a time when any good and decent person has to recognize that their loyalty to a friend is misplaced, when that friend has demonstrably proven themselves to be in polar opposition to everything one believes in.

I hear that she checks in here from time to time.

Sarah, if you're reading this, please re-examine your public support of John McCain. Review his performance in office since being re-elected to the Senate, and ask yourself if you honestly can support someone who would do and say the things McCain has, in these last five years.

I know that, in good conscience, you can't.

She, on the other hand, needs cause to separate from this political marriage. And that is what it was. A marriage is more than a contract or a partnership even if most Americans no longer think so.

i’m sorry you decided that the use of the word penalize wasn’t good enough. If i’m not mistaken i also put in immediate deportation for any not complying. Next time i’ll write an entire page.

You seem to be speaking for her?

If so, you're much closer to her than I will ever be. Please say 'Hi' for me and relay my good wishes to her and her family.

I can't speak for her or for her reasons, only for me and mine and my anti-McCain bias, which now clouds my judgment about hers.

ANY GOP nominee will receive relentless machine gun fire. WE can’t reject a competent leader just b/c leftist fiends don’t like him or her. Bob

Palin, if you noticed, damned McCain with faint praise. At least, that’s how I read it. Bob

I’d take that with a grain of salt. Jeb is unelectable.

I appreciate your take on it, Bob. I’ll look more carefully for that possibility next time. I do like her. Him? Not even not so much.

Your should acquaint yourself with Smedley Butler, Major General, USMC retired, two time winner of the MOH and the most decorated Marine in history. He clued in to what he had been used for 80 years ago.

Some of the players have changed, but the song remains the same.

I was talking amnesty. I agree with Scott Walker busting unions. Also I agree with appealing to union workers whether they leave or stay in the union.

When Rand or Boehner talks about “just legalizing” the illegals they are inviting the illegals to take all sorts of jobs outside of restaurants and farms. Like in banks, armored trucks, offices and military installations. Compassionate amnesty lite is heartless to working and middle class people.

Yes, I missed that angle. Sorry to have done so, and as a result I maligned you somewhat.

This is in fact a point that is not hammered enough and you are entirely correct. To adopt your position into my own theme: why does the GOP run away from the immigration issue, when it should be saying that any form of amnesty [including non-citizenship "guest worker" programs] is going to harm the most vulnerable people in our society? It isn't going to hurt the very rich: they love their near-slave labor. The Koch Brothers and Soros are in agreement on this; very rich Democrats and very rich Republicans both want lots more cheap jobs, and they want the jobs to stay cheap. Amnesty is going to displace low-skill, low-wage people. As a matter of fact, it is going to harm new, legally minted Latinos more than probably any other group except [possibly] Blacks.

Keep this in mind: the only people in our party with any loyalty whatsoever are conservatives; we're even loyal to people that hate us as long as they caucus with us and don't trash us too publicly and badly. The RINO's are like cockroaches and will scatter at the first sign of any light shining on their chosen that is not the least bit favorable.

Always been that way.

We got saddled with Nixon because even though he was a liberal he was an anticommunist, and that was the most important issue of the time. When support for him collapsed, it collapsed with Hugh Scott and his merry bunch of squishes.

We carried water for Bush II because he had some conservative impulses and on the response to Al Qaeda's attack on America he was correct. What did we get in return? Rove and all the Texas insiders stabbing us in the back whenever the opportunity arose.

If they've ditched Christie it means we won't have to support him when he starts nominating Islamists to the Federal Courts, pushing full-blown amnesty, or whatever idiocy he's got up his sleeve.

Time to ditch Bush the Pudgy next.

RE :”The RINO’s are like cockroaches and will scatter at the first sign of any light shining on their chosen that is not the least bit favorable. “

In the case of congress, there is huge difference in the electorate in MA and Texas.

The voters they must answer to don't react anything alike on many issues. Lou Gomert is not and doesn't have to be the least bit articulate, his district is a carved out solid conservatives. The government shuts down and they will welcome him as a hero.

Now the POTUS race is a different and more complex story.
