Jeff Sessions 2016? Why isn't he being recruited?
Vanity ^ | 12/07/2014 | thetallguy24

Posted on 12/06/2014 11:21:05 AM PST by thetallguy24

Is it me, or is Sessions the guy we've been missing in the White House? I know he's older and been in Washington awhile, but he seems to be the one guy who really wants the truth out, wants limited government and border security, and stands up to the establishment. We need someone of unquestionable integrity.

Shouldn't he be the guy?

Who can change or suggest changing this law of
open primaries’? It’s killing us in too many close races.
Whose door should we be knocking on?

Re: “deport 40 or 50 million people?”

The Census Bureau and Pew Research say 12 million.

We don't need to deport anyone. Deny them public assistance. Prosecute their employers. Assist American workers in filing lawsuits against their employers. When the money disappears, the illegals will disappear.

Re: “Explain to us all how that gets done in the current climate.”

We support political leaders who want to change the political climate.

Re: “And you’re against LEGAL immigration, too?”

No, and never have been.

I support unlimited immigration for anyone who can obtain a written employment contract paying at least $175,000 per year.

Everyone else, please stay home and vote Socialist in your native country.

Re: “How did your ancestors get here?”

The same way every ancestor of every human being in the history of the world got to their native country:

They walked out of southern Africa 100,000 years ago.

So here we are a year before the campaign starts, and arguing that Jeff Sessions or Ted Cruz aren't conservative enough.

This takes circular gunnery to a new high (or low). I weep for this forum, really I do.

Re: “Open Primaries”

The GOP could stop open primaries any day it wants to.

All we have to do is pay for our own primaries.

If the GOP pays the bill for primaries, the GOP can dictate the voting rules.

When the states and federal government pay the bill - like they do today - they dictate the voting rules.

I agree, but coalesce around a non-Ivy Leaguer.

If that's what you want, go with Scott Walker or Mike Pence. Right now, it's enough of a struggle to get a conservative. And it's going to have to be one with fire in the belly. One Fred Thompson candidacy is enough.

24 Walker. Hillary’s wants to paint herself as the champion of the middle-class. That’d be extremely hard against Walker who is a lot more middle-class than she is.

40 How quickly we forget about the Wizard of Wisconsin, aka, Scott Walker, Union Slayer. Walker is low key, but he is tenacious, not so quick to raise the white flag of surrender....

Apologies for omitting Scott Walker. Can't seem to keep all these politicos in my head at 1 time. Truly have to admire the tenacity he has demonstrated against the unions in WI. I am somewhat concerned about his positions regarding illegal alien amnesty and homosexual marriage. Maybe a Freeper who has followed him more closely could shed a little more light on his positions.

I have to admit at the this moment, I like the sound of Cruz-Walker or Walker-Cruz.

Did you actually go to the effort to read the whole thread before you commented or just pop-off? No one is arguing that Jeff Sessions is not conservative enough, but it should be obvious to any sincere conservative who has been paying attention, and given the conservative rating averages I have posted, that Jeff Sessions is definitely less reliable on the issues as his voting history reflects.

Furthermore, as I posted before, we as conservatives need to coalesce this time around ONE candidate and my point is why keep adding conservative candidates to the discussion when Ted Cruz has been leading on every single issue with a conservative rating of around 100%???

Better research how he not only approved Holder as AG but went out of his way to praise him.

Leave him in the Senate.

You’ve forgotten Walker-—the best of the govs, arguably.

Personally, I prefer a governor to a senator as candidate. But I’m not going to go all in supporting anybody until we find out who is, you know, running.
