Oh, you make an excellent point! because conservatives can’t do that, right? no. conservatives must remain true to their word. Like that ‘Tea Party’ Marco Rubio and his anti-amnesty position, one of the central promises of his campaign. It was he who became the front man for the Gang-of-Eight amnesty bill, was it? No it couldn’t have, because he’s a conservative!
