Why?? Portman is a big government-DC establishment RINO who supports amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens!

I’ll take Mr. Portman’s experience over Mr. Ganley’s.

I work with a lawyer who worked for Mr. Portman in the White House Budget Office.

Mr. Portman is a class act.

Portman is definitely poor on immigration.

I like him on about everything else.



If RINO literally means "Republican In Name Only", I'd say the claim doesn't really stick.

Strongly opposes women's right to abortion
Opposes preferential minority hiring
Strongly opposes same-sex domestic partnerships
Strongly favors teacher-lead prayer in public schools
Favors the death penalty
Favors three-strikes
etc.

He's got some very strong ratings from the groups that we'd consider to the right. And some poor ratings from the left.

I agree though that he seems to suck on immigration. I'll do more research on Ganley, but imagine I'd vote for either. Portman will certainly have more to answer for on immigration as the race heats up.

They’re all open border advocates that she’s contributed to. No wonder she’s avoiding that issue like the plague until her coffers are full. I guess we know what she and McCain had in common now. For all her messages about Obama care’s downside, she didn’t mention illegal aliens getting the plan. It’s an issue that encompasses too many others, education, healthcare, sovereignty, jobs, and more!

I had some high hopes on her, but it’s apparent she doesn’t have very good political instincts if she’s for amnesty, because the people surely are not. She needs to come out and say what she thinks, NOW.
