“Just as conservative candidates for President cannot be selected if they support abortion, Obamacare or gun control, Ponnuru explains that the new litmus test of conservatism is immigration. Conservatives are now starting to see a candidate’s position on immigration as an index of his conservatism in general, Ponnuru writes.”
Looks like it took the GOPe rough AN ENTIRE DECADE to realize that Immigration is “not just another issue”, but even MORE IMPORTANT to most of us than even gun control...since if you flood the country with Democrats, the GOP position on gun control (or any other issue) simply will not matter (aka, California).
It finally boiled over this campaign. The GOPe can be with us on 100 other issues, but if they’re not with us on immigration, WE ARE THROUGH WITH THEM. They either need to accept what we want and come along, or we will PUSH THEM OUT OF THE WAY.
That simple.
AMEN!
