Oh, please, Hoffman would be better than anything else they’re running up there, and at least it would be possible to work with him. Voting Dem or RINO, your positions obviously, would give us somebody who would be totally deaf on any of these subjects.

Of course, then I think back on how the anti-immigration lobby here on FR destroyed a lot of conservative candidates who weren’t perfectly in line with their anti-Mexican obssession - and landed us with McCain, selected by the RNC that didn’t care one way or the other and simply felt that John deserved his turn.

Learn to work with people who at least agree on major principles - and I think Hoffman does, although I’m not 100% in agreement, either - or you’ll end up part of the circular firing squad that has left us with nothing but loser RINO candidates.

There were several candidate that went before the selection committee. Hoffman was dead last, with no votes from anybody on any of the ballots.

And he didn't even live in the district.

Of course - playing the race card. 'Illegal Alien' is not a race. Conservative candidates are not pro-amnesty, it's the RINOs that brought about their own demise by voting for and pushing amnesty - against the base's will. Enforcing existing laws IS a major principle - not rewarding law-breakers who come here with no respect for what they get here, just looking for more free handouts. It's like saying I'm conservative except that I'm for higher taxes. If someone is for amnesty, they are likely not conservative or are getting money off of hiring illegals and put that above principle. And therefore, not conservative.
