Thanks for posting. My nephew in law seems to be a low information conservative and was complaining about the choices for Republican president. I will send him this link. I am excited about the field. I just hope the best person wins and not the RHINO picks.

In November of 2016, I expect this nation to be in severe crisis and am wondering if we will even have elections.

Rush really rolled over for the GOPe this week—lauding Walker despite his pro-amnesty/open borders position.

In that capacity he’s already done more ill for the 2016 elections than he could make up for down the road.

So are you pro-amnesty, or are you a low-information voter too?

I think you meant “RINO” (Republican In Name Only) not “RHINO”.

Totalitarians never eliminate elections. They control the election outcomes which is already happening so some extent.

Question for you Lurker: Are you never going to get tired of having Liberal DemocRATS occupy the White House and continue destroying this country, or are you a low IQ voter?

Have you missed the Democrat plan of flooding the country with more illegals-turned-Democrat voters?

You and the GOPe can tell yourselves that expediency requires backing a pro-amnesty candidate, but any hope for future non-Leftist government goes out the door with that.

I guess low-information voting must just run in your family.

A GUIDE TO 2016 REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES’ POSITIONS ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

EXCERPT:

Scott Walker: Wisconsin’s governor may support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. In 2013, he told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that he “hasn’t taken a position on citizenship for illegal immigrants.” He told Politico, “For people waiting to come in our country legally, we’ve got to make sure that they get in first, that they get their status first, because they’ve been following the rules and playing by the rules. After that, if there is a way to set up a process so that you enable people to come in and have a legal pathway to do that, that’s something we’ve got to embrace. Whether or not it’s that specific bill or not, I think there’s some nuances to that.”

It gets worse than that. His answer for stopping illegal immigration in the future is to make it legal for anyone, from anywhere in the world to come here so easily legally that there’s no reason for anyone to break the law to do so:

Walker has actually made more extreme statements on illegal immigration than even Jeb Bush.

I was referring to a SEVERE crisis ...where the entire governmental system will fall (would include even those of a totalitarian mindset).

I understand how *out there* such a thing sounds. However, we are heading firmly & steadily in the direction of such a crisis.

I fully believe that such an event is probable in that we, as a nation, have NOT turned back to God.

Since you are such a “High-Information” voter, tell me:

What is Scott Walker’s position on negotiating with Hezbollah?

What is Ted Cruz’s position on The IMF and Federal Reserve?

What is Bobby Jindal’s record on Energy Tax at the gas pump?

What is John Kasich’s greatest accomplishment as Governor?

You really don’t get it, do you?

20M+ majority welfare-dependent, affirmative-action favored, Democrat-voting, low-skill immigrants from Latin America once legalized will become citizens who swell their numbers to 60M via chain migration.

Other positions are chicken-scratch in comparison to this issue, which will overwhelm all others.

Then use that as your argument instead of calling people a “low-information” voter and showing your butt. You are the low-info voter. The only issue you know anything about is the Immigration mess. Why don’t you run for Congress and get it straightened out?

You should be thanking me for helping you to see through the NRO propaganda, but apparently you’re not the particularly appreciative type, so I won’t hold out for anything on that front.

Ha! Thanks for the correction. Lurker, There are great choices so maybe you are a low information voter stuck in your preconceived opinion.
