Right On The Right

If we put up a candidate that opposed amnesty and stood for strong borders, we'd have a very distinct advantage on the issue over the various Democrats. Because we're on the brink of putting up John McCain, we're on the brink of losing that advantage. The scary thing is, the Democrats know it. Here's Barack Obama:

Sen. Barack Obama: "I think they will pounce on any issue that has to do with immigration. But as I said, my position has been very similar to John McCain's, who's maybe the likely Republican nominee. And if he wants to try to parse out this one issue of driver's licenses, an issue of public safety, my response is that we have to solve the overall problem."

Ignoring for a moment the sheer horror you should feel when you realize a liberal Democrat is touting the fact he agrees with our presumptive nominee, think about the advantage this takes away. Big states like Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico may all go Democrat (ok, maybe not Arizona), because we're choosing a pro-amnesty nominee. We're losing our platform, and our principles.
