Tell me, which of Tom MacArthur's positions are "big government RINO liberal phony Republican" policies to you? They sure sound pretty solidly conservative to me.

Could it be you're just assuming he's a "RINO" because his name isn't "Steve Lonegan", perhaps?

How about we start right here:

Lonegan said that MacArthur won the chamber’s support by agreeing to back the “comprehensive immigration reform” plan, which would increase levels of immigration. “You have to answer ‘yes’ to that question to get that endorsement,” Lonegan said.

MacArthur admitted that he supports the legal equivalent of amnesty for the 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. “I’ve said the same thing to anyone who has asked me and that is I oppose amnesty,” MacArthur said. “I believe we need to send illegal immigrants that have committed a crime home to their country of origin.”

However, the illegal immigrants who have not committed a crime could be given a “path to citizenship [that] has to be tough but fair,” MacArthur said. The illegal immigrants would get citizenship — and the right to vote — MacArthur said, after they pay back taxes, learn English, and are put “at the back of the line.”

Amnesty critics say those conditions won’t be enforced, partly because there’s no way for the government to assess the past earnings of illegal immigrants. Also, prior immigration deals have only required that illegals enroll in English classes, not that they actually prove that they know English.

Macarthur is backed by big govt Republicans and was involved in TARP.
That he decided to challenge a Consetvative makes his positions void.

From his campaign web-site:

Marriage

While all people should be treated equally under the law, Tom believes marriage is between one man and one woman. Moreover, Tom believes that decisions on how to govern marriage belong with individual states and their voters, not activist courts or the federal government.

Hiding behind States Rights is not a conservative position where Gay Marriage is concerned. That is a Libertarian position.

If you had been paying attention, you would have seen how that position is such a failure given Federal Judges overthrowing State-Level Amendments to their constitutions voted on by their citizens to outlaw Gay Marriage.

Whenever a candidate is pushing this as the only solution to Gay Marriage, it is a canard meant to deceive because they know, that as the US Constitution is written today, with the Equal Protection clause of the 14th amendment, there is no protection for Anti-Gay Marriage laws at the state level.
