New conservative quote...on immigration

As you can see, I have a new quote on my sidebar...by James Madison, on the importance of immigration. It's important to recognize the issue of immigration for what it is, and to expose the false choice liberals raise...they would have citizens believe the choice is between immigration (them) and no immigration (us).

It has never been about that. Conservatives recognize that immigration is more than tolerated. It is welcomed. It is recognized as essential to a vibrant nation, and in fact is a significant factor in the success of America.

The illegal immigration issue has always been about immigration control, not immigration prevention.

Both men: were decorated military veterans had lost nomination fights in the past had extensiive foreign policy resumes criticized for being less interested in domestic politics criticized for being a moderate, not being conservative enough. True enough...McCain and George HW...seperated at birth.

NW Republican: Ronald Reagan was more than an actor

This is a GREAT post in NW Republican: NW Republican: Ronald Reagan was more than an actor He is basically making the point that I've made...that while I agree with Christine O'Donnell on points of policy, she was a terrible candidate. We mock Joe Biden for being prone to gaffes, but she was almost as prone to it as he is. We mocked Barack Obama for being unqualified to be President, but what are her qualifications? What has she actually done ? We need to get to a point where someone needs to actually be a good candidate with significant life achievements, not just have the right views and look good on TV. The ones who fit that bill in the last election (Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Rob Portman are examples) won. Here is a link to the original column by Peggy Noonan that he refers to in his blog post: "Americans Vote for Maturity", by Peggy Noonan, WSJ, 11-5-2010
