Shays, one of the few vulnerable House Republicans open to a broad compromise with the Senate, said strong protests from his constituents this month prompted him to come out for the first time against "citizenship for undocumented workers."This is what they Senate has shown they care less about...and they have always banked on the East Coast backing them up. Drudge was surprised by the number of East Coast callers white hot on the issue too.“It would be a huge mistake to give people a path to citizenship that came here illegally,” he told the Washington Post.
Surprisingly, Shays' constituents are Northeast liberals who have voiced their concerns over uncontrolled illegal immigration and the reality of porous, unprotected borders.
These issues: Rule of Law. Sovereignty of the People. National Security. A nation with a government, not a government with a nation.
Rather than despaire over our betrayal, I recommend that ALL CONSERVATIVES go forward positively. This poses a real opportunity. This is a time for very careful counterstrikes on the Democrats on this issue. This is their own wedge issue. It must be used. Instead of losing seats of Good Conservative Republicans...let's see if we can gain seats, and expel some Rats. Too bad we can't as easily clean house in the GOP. It requires a concerted effort at the Primary Leve. But that is the way to go, rather than Third Party. And pressure must be exerted upon the would-be INCOMING RINOS, such as Mark Kennedy, who has abdicated his former conservative principles on a number of issues to slavishly conform to the White House line.
After all, it is only making the party abide by its own self-professed principles. This is simply calling the RINOs on the carpet on those egregious departures from agreed principles in the Reagan Platform.
Now, More Than Ever!
