RE: Tancredo

Well, looks like we have the GOP candidate for President right here...

Pat Buchanan is the other...

I think they’re flaky because it’s not a black and white issue. If any candidate from any party came out and said, ship them all home, none can stay it would be suicide because it’s impossible.

If anyone would ever keep their word on securing the border first, it would be huge and critical to our nation’s survival. Let’s address the amnesty issue after the border issue, they’re really two different animals.

Border, first and only consideration for the moment. And we shouldn’t have to wait for 2016 to get it done, the 2014 crew all promised this. Obama has them pouring in by the thousands, stop them now.

>>Scott Walker just isn’t prepared or principled enough to lead this nation back to greatness. We can’t afford to nominate someone who’s flip flopped so much on major issues that will change America for the worse. This is a big deal, he’s essentially Romney V2.

Forget “greatness”. We’re in a battle for survival now. But,tell me, who is perfect enough for you?

Even the great Mark Levin isn’t all out for deporting every single illegal.

He insists that the border be made secure first AND THEN, after we’re really and OBJECTIVELY satisfied that it is, we can start talking about what to do with those who have been here since childhood [BUT NOT UNTIL].

We won’t be allowed to vote our way out of this within the Uniparty, D and R divisions.

Look at the previous two election cycles. McCain was as popular as poison ivy in June 2007 after pushing amnesty TWICE and had no money. Yet he had the nomination sewn up by March.
Romney was the author of the precursor of the hated Obamacare and had taken all positions on all issues at one time or another and was less popular than McCain. Yet again, by March of 2012, he’s the nominee.

They have the calendar rigged so red states have virtually no say until it’s too late. Elsewhere they have purposefully open primaries. The rules have been tweaked to smooth out the bumps Romney experienced on the way to his nomination. The GOP exists to block conservatives, not represent them.

The last 4 Presidential elections have been amnesty D vs amnesty R.

I don’t think we have a ghost of a chance of nominating a GOP candidate that isn’t a cheap labor importer.
The RNC has already been paid for an amnesty candidate.

We have to think outside the box the parties have put us in.

If you impose enough conditions, no one will be able to meet them.

So then, we can negate a general amnesty by larding it down with enough conditions. Works for me.

Amnesties are always offered with conditions.

I seem to remember John McCain saying a $200.00 fine was more than sufficient punishment for jumping our borders.

Now they intend to punish illegals by deciding they were deported illegally, that way they can offer 5 years amended tax returns because we should not have denied them in the first place.

In other news California is importing foreign workers to process unemployment claims. You can't make this stuff up.

If all those guys who are here/have been here illegally don't fork over the TAXES on their respective incomes - then WE all GET OURS BACK!!!

President Obama’s new deportation amnesty could grant Social Security numbers to as many as 4 million illegal immigrants, making many of them eligible for tax refunds under the Earned Income Tax Credit even for years when they cheated on their taxes, working off the books and refusing to file tax returns.

If the illegal aliens don’t return home and apply like everybody else who really IS an immigrant, then it is amnesty.
We either have the rule of law or we don’t.
We must elect a President who WILL uphold the rule of law after this one who won’t.

A rule of thumb in politics:

When a politician is flipping (or evolving as they now say) in YOUR direction, don’t complain about it.

Because the people of this country are ignorant. The repubs will get clobbered by the news media - here is an example: Friday night - midnight (technically Saturday), the CBS radio news comes on at the top of the hour. These are the exact opening words - "Can the Republicans prove they can govern?" If DHS is funded, they can govern; if DHS is not funded, they can't govern. It is that simple to the biased news and to many voters, who are ignorant.

The truth is the repubs are stupid to have put themselves in this situation. They deserve it.

My governor Walker may not be as conservative as I am, but to put him in the same camp as Romney is a travesty. I was pleased to vote for Virgil Goode instead of Romney because Romney is a train-wreck-liberal-wolf disguised in republican clothing. Walker is more the polar opposite than in any way similar. I've been pleased with what he as accomplished for us in this state. The GOP-E left him in the wind when the liberals tried to have him recalled. He is a grass roots supported candidate. He may not be perfect, but I'd be pleased to vote for him should that be the choice laid before me.

Remember that Ronald Reagan, re-incarnated, could run, and he wouldn't pass muster with plenty of FReepers.

"New Reagan just isn't as conservative as the original!", and so on. Some people are just determined to be miserable - and make everyone else just as miserable as they are. Others are Dem trolls.

I like Walker. He's the best to come along in a good while.
