Why won’t anyone have the guts to say no amnesty? I’m so sick of all these gutless wonder politicians pandering for votes!

I hate to say this, but Palin said she supported a "path to citizenship" for illegals in 2008. Maybe she thought she had to say that for McCain's sake. I'm just saying, let's go forward with our eyes open.

Link: Univision (Spanish Language TV) interview with Palin October 2008. See 4th question.

If she’s talking amnesty she’d better rethink that position. Why is it so hard to figure out that these people have broken our laws and now are breaking our country’s back? There is no reason these people should be allowed to cheat the system and come here illegally to be put in the front of the line against others who have played by the rules to comply with our laws to become a citizen. We need a politician who can convey the unfairness of the situation to the sheeple and who won’t back down when the dems and the MSM scream “racist”.

Until or unless Palin states “No amnesty of any kind” I don’t trust her, and will not vote for her. I don’t like where Sarah PAC money is going either.

McCain
Graham
Hatch

RE :”Why won’t anyone have the guts to say no amnesty? I’m so sick of all these gutless wonder politicians pandering for votes!...I hate to say this, but Palin said she supported a “path to citizenship” for illegals in 2008.

Was terrified of offending the Latino vote on a hispanic channel. You remember fall 2006 the republican house passed a immigration reform bill with a provision that made being illegally here a felony? They scrambled to remove it when it got out on the news but democrats voted against removing it, then voted against the bill calling republicans racists. No bill got passed because the republican Senate passed an amnesty bill. (Then republicans got killed in 2006 election)

This is a tough issue politically. It's the high unemployment now that makes amnesty the kiss of death politically.

Retaining Hispanic votes a challenge for Obama (Unemployment checks hope and change?)

Eyes wide open? Wouldn’t that be a nice change. Those who defend the R’s indefensible agendas are no different than the D’s.
