I think what has happened in the past is that the illegal immigration issue has been an issue Republicans, nearly all of them except for a precious few, have not wanted to touch for fear of being painted as racists and bullies. There wasn’t national support for border security until the WOT and this works against Bush ironically. More politicians are standing up for border security because it is not political suicide now. What we have to do as Republicans is find the candidate that has a backbone, speaks out against illegal immigration right now, and has some kind of record of being loyal to his constituents. That person will be the candidate we need. In other words because illegal immigration was the ultimate third rail issue, I think we can forgive Republicans for flip flopping from a softer stance in the past.
Then %@^%#$%# him too!!!!
You guys are going to keep trashing every Repubican candidate until you end up with two that are utterly unelectable: Hunter and Paul. LOL.
