Another way to view this is that the bluest of the blue states, and a few purples, might nominate a candidate (Rudy) that the red states would have to elect, with little or no help from blue states. And Rudy could well lose some red states such as Arkansas, Indiana, or Virginia among others.
It’s past time that Rudy, McCain and Huckabee are called out, every day, on their positions on illegal aliens, positions that are at odds with about 70% of Republicans, or more. All three would favor amnesty, and who can believe a word they say about closing the border or interior enforcement? Jorge redux with those three.
Seems it has to be Romney or Thompson. I’d be happy with either.
Barring a future attack on the homeland, imigration will be the main issue in the next election and that favors conservatives and most democrates agree with us on the issue, americans love there country ‘dem or repub’ and are sick and tired of the pol’s playing fast an loose for political reasons with the security of the nations borders for cheap goods.
As a union member ‘UAW’ and a conservative republican I speak to many democrates and some follow blindly there parties panderers to the working class stiff, but if you ask them about illegal imigration they are just as mad as we are.
There perspective is this ‘we don’t want to have to compete for work with people who will break the union to take a job for half of what were making now, we fought long and hard for what we get payed and were being forced backward by slave labor’, ‘first they send good jobs over seas for cheap labor now they are just importing the labor, no matter who it harms or what it’s effect may be to the working class’.
The problem is they blame republican buisness types for the problem when you and I know this problem is non-partisan.
We need a real ‘control the borders’ republican in the general election or the democrates will win because it’s the only issue that many democrates know they will be betrayed on by there party.
