"And if Republicans have to sound like liberals to get their vote, then they aren't Conservatives."

Conservative candidates are hurt more by bigots masquerading as conservatives than anything they do. The reason they have to sound liberal to get hispanic votes is to make up for the bigot label attached to them by this group.

BTW - Since when did immigrant bashing become a conservative principle? I love it when people proclaim their beliefs then demand that you believe the same or you're not "really a conservative".

It's my observation that there are far more preening dillettantes in the GOP eating their own by unfairly calling other Republicans "racist," "xenophobic," etc., than there are actual racists.

These RINOs speak from Dem talking points, and are all over FR.

I don't immigrant bash. Illegal immigrants are citizens of another country and they don't have automatic rights just because Fox said to have access to everything in the US. They have a right to go back home and obey the laws the next time they come over ---legal immigrants are another matter obviously ---provided they are self-sufficient and don't use SSI and Food Stamps. I'm very against bringing in the types who fill up our housing projects. We need to question how much 3rd world conditions we really want to bring in to the US ---come to the border counties and you'll see 3rd world conditions. Try colonias with no running water, outhouses, open sewers ---housing codes are another law many don't choose to follow.

ROFLOL, that is precisely what you are doing! Fitz has more understanding of this issue than you and the other illegal-lovers on this thread combined.
