Perry and Newt are the only amnesty activists running for president on gop side. They clearly and strongly believe in amnesty.
It is not humane to vote either one.
Bachman was impressive in foreign policy debate. Santorum is credible too. We do not have to pick amnesty activist. I was ready to forgive newt’s history of global warming, gun grabbing, serial adultery and bashing conservatives. But amnesty is deal breaker.
Newt did not propose amnesty! Try reading again what Newt did said and maybe you might understand.
Mittens supported it too, long before the 2012 elections. Bachmann has the best NumbersUSA rating of the bunch.
I liked Bachman up until she seemed to have formed some kind of bizarro truce with Romney where she doesn't attack him, but on immigration, I would support her, if she had a stated plan or goal (i.e. just say deport each and every one of them). She hasn't said that, she simply attacks, if she took the Tom Tancredo position, that would be fantastic, but she hasn't embraced that, she is instead just shooting holes. I am honestly curious what her actual plan is.
Personally, I would prefer a multi step approach, starting with strict border enforcement (a fence), widespread e-verify, cut off funding to sanctuary cities, jail or prison to those who hire illegals, mass deportations of illegals, and no path to citizenship to anyone who is in the country illegally. Thats what I would like, I would like to see if thats her positions too, but she has not stated such.
Santorum, I'm not to crazy about, he is absolutely not a federalist, and views the tea party as "them", he likes them, but he is clear, that he is not one of them, and he does come from the Bush school of "compassionate conservatism". He also has a tendency to drift left in election years on economic issues, and there are a few other gripes I have with him, he reminds me a bit of Huckabee.
I would give my right arm, to have a Tom Tancredo in this race right now.
