“Well, she is a sitting Gov. She is required to deal with the will of the people of her state. If they, through their legislature say: take the money. What was she supposed to do, say no - “I know better than you”?
Yes, just like Patriot Gov. Sanford is doing. He’s not allowing Obama to dictate what the funds can be used for. If he can’t pay down the state’s past debt with it, he won’t take it. Either you are FOR the bailout spending or you’re not.
“And if she is our conservative voice, why not have her be a part of this group? Should we leave it up to the RINO’s to be the only voices in the group? And if she wants to fight to get to the WH, then she’s gonna have to engage all comers. R & D alike. And she can’t do that sitting on the sidelines.”
First of all, she’s for comprehensive immigration reform, so she won’t be my conservative voice. Sitting on the sidelines is NOT the only option she has. What’s wrong with her standing up to OPPOSE this group and what they stand for. . If she wants to be the voice of conservatism, let her stand up and oppose them, tell the American people WHY she opposed it, how her positions differ from that of the RHINO’s. Give US a voice...on that can stand up against them. Isn’t THAT what we are looking for? I know for me it is. Again, I’ve yet to hear how her ‘conservative’ voice differs in any way from theirs.
Folks just need to acknowledge what she says and does, stop continuing to make excuses for her and see her for what she is. Some folks just refuse to let go. I’m not willing to settle just because she’s being pushed as the favored to win. If we let ourselves be “fred thompsoned”, we’ll lose again.
Got a link?
No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.
To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country
Thanks for responding. It takes guts - and a tremendous amount of arrogance - to admit you told a whopper and expect that everyone around you will ignore that you selectively parsed her words to broadcast a message of your own making.
Good luck with that (No, not really)
