BFD! I'm a strong Conservative and I'm liberal on immigration too. Sue me. I'm a conservative. Maybe not a Cardinal like you. But at least a Bishop. ;^)
Are you for illegal immigration?
It's a big deal, pilgrim. Supporting comprehensive immigration reform doesn't make you a strong conservative. It goes against every conservative principle I know of.
Reagan signed off on the IRCA of 1986 and lived to regret it. Thanks to Ted Kennedy and the Dems, that legislation was gutted. Instead of a secure border, serious employer sanctions and stiff penalties for foreigners who come here illegally. We have 20 million law breakers to deal with.
Lieberman as McCain's Veep is a wrongheaded decision that will not garner him more votes. It will lose him millions of conservative votes.
