"Perhaps McCain, Hagel, Specter and Martinez ought to get onboard with Sessions, Hayworth etc.."
but they take the stance they do on immigration because they are radical ideologues.
McCain for example is a member of the immigration task force of the Migration Policy Institute. The task force is a group of the most prominent open borders idelogues in the world.
Now Specter and Martinez may very well have the position they do because they are simply confused.
But McCain and Hagel are open borders ideologues.
"Tancredo should be locked in a box. He is a lightning rod for every negative generalization made about Conservatives. He would kill the momentum towards Border Security. Senators Sessions and Kyl would help, and not hurt like Tancredo."
What exactly do you have against him? He makes the pro-borders case forcefully but respectfully.
Exactly what are these negative generalizations that people harbor toward conservatives, that Tancredo represents? The fact that he believes in principle and the rule of law rather than selling the American people to the highest bidder?
Bushies hate Tancredo for having guts. Makes no sense. My vote is for Tancredo.
