Michael was one of the "we can't deport them all" drones 20 years ago.

We didn't have to deport them then, and we don't have to deport them now.

All we have to do is stop giving them free stuff, Mikey.

Medved ignores the fact that Cruz is not relying solely upon the evangelical vote, but the entire spectrum of the conservative base.

What’s the deal with his “on God’s green earth”?

If we’re invisible, how can anyone possibly know this?

He still is. Yet when it comes to the War on Drugs, he's all for it. Does he think he can jail all drug users? Of course not, but enforcement is supposed to deter some. Yet he dismisses the idea that enforcement is a deterrence when it comes to illegal immigrants.

The only point that I can see in his article, was merely to make a dig at Evangelical Christians.

The same point all rinos make.

Medved was a very early supporter of Romney last time around.
So, no surprise here.

Can’t win the Presidency without Evangelicals. So ignore Christians and reap the results.

Maybe it’s because in the fall of 2016, we really will be invisible?

Happy for his cancer recovery but he still is and always will be a RINO. Stick to movies Michael and leave it to the grassroots to pick the right candidate who can defeat the left, and begin the long process of cleaning up the humongous mess this country is mired in.

I’m sure an intelligent man as Michael Medved is he would have to admit Romney lost because he didn’t inspire the base of the GOP, namely us. Four million of our fellow conservatives stayed home in 2012. Pick a Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, or a Marco Rubio as the nominee, and maybe ten million of us stay home next fall.

“Medved was a very early supporter of Romney last time around.”

Interesting point - I did not know Mikey loved Mittens.

I should now be surprised. Mickey is a Major RINO, and after listening to his radio show, the man is afraid (I should say scare shitless) of limited G’ment callers.
