Favoring amnesty for illegals is not exactly going to endear him to conservatives

amnesty for illegals and all their kin who would be allowed in, will cost us a fortune and render the GOP a permanent minority forever.
Sounds awesome, right?

His performance has been excellent.
But I just can’t seem to shake my fear that the apple doesn’t fall far the tree.
Does anyone know what his position is on Hagel?
To: GeronL
He hasn’t spoken much about immigration yet, I doubt he supports amnesty.
I agree the GOP would be foolish to support any amnesty plan.
To: Venturer
Rand Paul and Scott Walker are two guys I would love to see run.
To: JohnPDuncan
The only thing I would have added is that for him is that she would never have been nominated in the first place. Now she has demonstrated why.

Certainly would put up more of a fight than either McCain or Romney. He’s looking more and more like the right candidate to me.
Rubio would probably be even more electable except I really don’t like his immigration stance.

Only thing about Rubio I don’t like is when he was speaker of the FL house, he was against AZ’s immigration law.
Went to a TEA party gathering in 09 to hear him and a girl heckeled him about that.

Favoring amnesty for illegals is not exactly going to endear him to conservatives. Why not? Favoring amnesty AND favoring obamacare AND favoring queer marriage AND favoring abortion AND favoring bigger government AND favoring gun control all endeared Romney to many of the "conservatives" here.
But I'll take Rand Paul and/or Scott Walker over Christie or Jeb anyday.

Romney and McCain won because conservatives split there hope.
I pray we can get behind one candidate like Rand and stop the inevitable RINO winning with 30 odd percent of the primary vote.
To: JohnPDuncan
I can support Paul in the primary in 2016, but will KY?

of course they will, when was the last time they had a president?

But I'll take Rand Paul and/or Scott Walker over Christie or Jeb anydayThat should be obvious, even if I have to frown about it. Although there there is a good chance they will join the GOPe at crunch time.

I think we're going to have to rally early and unless Sarah or Scott Walker throws there hats in the ring soon, we should maybe get behind Rand, despite his unfortunate relation to his father.
I was no huge Dubya fan, but he wasn't his father either, and in many ways he actually was a Conservatie.

Google returns 3 million responses to "Rand Paul amnesty".
Topic titles include: "Rand Paul joins GOP elite in call for amnesty..."
Yeah, he's for it. He is also for legalizing pot and defense cuts. IIRC, he was on board with Rubio's amnesty plan.

You might want to rethink your initial comment.

Yes, but it is all those ways he WASN'T conservative that we are paying for today. He was the biggest spending president in history -- before Obama. The economic crises began on his watch. And several millions of those illegals crossed the border on his watch.
