All eyes may be on Denver this week, but the Republican National Committee began their meetings to draft an election platform today ahead of next week’s convention. Sparks flew when delegates got into debate over illegal immigration, which reflected where John McCain originally stood on the issue, but has now taken a more conservative stance.
Delegates were split into different subcommittees and it was in the national security meeting where members got into heated discussion surrounding the issues of amnesty and English as the official language of the United States.
Two delegates wanted to harden the language surrounding the issue of amnesty. The draft read, “We oppose amnesty.” But, delegates from North Carolina and Colorado wanted to include opposition to “comprehensive immigration reform” because they believe it is a code word for amnesty. This sparked a heated discussion between members with a delegate from Washington DC who said that the Republican Party is a “not a xenophobic party, not an intolerant party. We are a compassionate party that follows the rule of law and endorses federal law,” said Bud McFarlane. Kendal Unruh from Colorado, who wanted to include “opposition to comprehensive immigration reform” to the draft, seemed to take offense to that statement citing her missionary work and saying that she would “never have the label” of xenophobic “slapped on me.” She continued to press that the committee add the tougher language to stop “behind the door tactics” to prevent “amnesty” of illegal aliens.
McFarlane was joined by several other members including from borders states such as New Mexico that said if the amendment was added it would give the impression that the Republican Party was not interested in fixing the immigration problems facing the country and the Republicans had “historically welcomed immigrants.”

“not a xenophobic party, not an intolerant party.”
Spinning Bush’s line again that if you oppose it, you’re racist.

***Good for Kendal. Doing God’s work.

“The MSM gets out the “GOP is a bunch of racist yahoos” story template”
The “GOP” can do that all by itself.
The wage-depression short-term profiteering lobbies are strong in both parties.

lol the bill-payers (of the pols, not of fedgov’s budget) aren’t going to be stopped on amnesty, but one must find a way to throw crumbs to the peons who must pull the levers.
By now freepers should have realized that the duopoly parties are globalization parties, and represent interests in favor of unlimited global trade (including movement of labor from cheaper markets to higher markets) and expanded political boundries of respective trade blocks (the EU, NAU, etc). Throw some foreign money into our political system (China, Gulf States) and all that we see in politics makes a lot more sense.
Flakey bast*rd. These kinds of weasle words are why I no longer call myself a Republican.
The Stupid Party is going to return back to its losing days in the mid-1900s. All the GOP has to do is have a clear conservative-libertarian agenda and they’ll win. The party is clearly controlled by a bunch of Rockefeller, beltway group-thinkers who don’t want to step on any toes. The GOP needs a hard-ass to run the party. Ron Paul was right when he said the party is stagnating and not attracting new and younger voters.
But this has been going on for 40 years running.
And it must end!
This dynamic must change.
That’s why a certain individual the libs are pushing for VP must be stopped at all costs.
There’s that word again.
“It is so devastatingly obvious that Republicans/Conservatives are paralyzed from fear of the MSM.”
It’s the money.
The “comprehensive” supporters in the GOP structure their arguments to appeal to the liberal media, in words, and opportunities to frame themselves as moral and “conservatives” as mean.
Karl Rove handled them like an expert puppeteer.
But it wasn’t enough. We got the internet.
Bravo for the delegates from North Carolina and Colorado. Wish we had more like them.
Time to cut off the free ride for illegals. Take away the welfare and they'll leave on their own.
They don’t want to be in office. That’s clear. So we won’t put them in office. We will find our own conservatives.
In reality, the RNC is no doubt arguing which is the best way to bury the on going violent nationwide immigration disaster, now that they've stood by for years, gawking at up to 40 million illegals and their anchor babies stroll into our country.
I can hear them now...."Hey guys, how can we slip in the word illegal alien during the convention so we can appease all these stupid Americans that have been begging, voting, and screaming for relief from this violent invasion for years? Hey, lets show them pictures of Bush in that border patrol dune buggy we ran a couple of years ago."
Good thinking!!
The Argument:
Should we let them in or should we give them green cookies and THEN let them in?
And that includes a lot of Hispanics who are sick of having their communities trashed by the illegal Barrio Bros, their drugs and ho's.
So how do we swamp these delegate committees with mail, input, whatever to get this right?
