It's still a little early in the election process for both mid-term (getting warm) and Presidential (still in the 'musical chairs' stage). My tentative "dream team" was Sarah Palin and Rand Paul...to be specific, a Palin/Paul team.
I had placed Senator Rand Paul in the number two spot because of 1) somewhat Libertarian leanings; and 2) his VERY WILDLY Libertarian father, who could have too much influence on his son. However, until recently, I liked most of what Senator Paul was saying, including the contents of his CPAC speech, as opposed to liking everything about Sarah Palin. The main difference? Gov. Palin in an honest to goodness Reagan Conservative, and Senator Paul appears to be receiving some very bad advice.
At present there are only a few Conservative Super Stars: Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Michelle Bachman, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Alan West, and Dr. Ben Carson are some of the names that immediately come up. Forgive me if I've missed a few, but I am speaking about super stars, not just solid Conservative members of Congress and of the community.
I am pulling back from any Rand Paul support because of his "new" stand on the issue of illegal immigration. I'll address that for Senator Paul, Senator Rubio, and others who always seem to put an asterisk after their self-title "Conservative Republican". No matter how you cut this, "illegal" is "illegal"! I give up on believing that our politicians are honest. If they condone law breaking, they are neither honest, nor law abiding.
Note, too, that I have removed Senator Rubio's name from my "Conservative Super Star" list. I removed his name from that list for the same reason Senator Paul's name is missing...their mental, Constitutional and legalality lapses regarding illegals.
As an American Citizen who attempts to keep up to date on our (horrible) political mess, I continue to be appalled at the number of people who declare themselves "for" the American citizen, but "against" enforcing laws designed to protect those same American citizens. Any rational American citizen would be appalled by the words of our lawmakers, who condone law breaking. If I were out of work, I'd have gone into shock after hearing the statements Senator Paul made about "path to citizenship" recently. To Senators Paul, and Rubio, and others who would fall into the category of RINOs, I remind you: There IS a path to citizenship for legal immigrants: You apply; you have professional qualities desirable to qualify you as a prospective 'good citizen'; Here's the important point - "you wait your turn in line!" proving from the beginning that you are willing to follow American laws.
How can politicians expect anybody to give a rat's patooty about any law when they publicly wink at law breakers? Are we now a country where its citizens can cherry-pick which laws it wants to obey? That's what our politicians seem to expect.
After Reagan's amnesty (not his, but signed into law during his term), there was a slow down in illegal immigration...until the illegals realized that there was no clamp down on illegals sneaking into this country. Then, the floodgates opened. So, here we are again. And Congress doesn't understand why they have a collective lower approval rating than Hitler?
If you want Conservatives to help you win elections, then support and protect all the laws; support states' rights; protect American citizens, and, yes, remove the illegals so responsible applicants can be allowed immigration status in our country. Stop being baited by the whiny, sick progressives!
I'll keep my readers posted about any updates to my "Super Star" list.
God Bless America!
