Amnesty John's Cheerleaders

I’m amazed at the number of people claiming to be conservatives, who vilify Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham for asking tough questions about Amnesty John.

To their line of thinking, Amnesty John is the nominee and we all need to get behind him. We who want answers from AJ are called to “tone it down”, or “reach out.”

What are these people thinking?

I expect this type of behavior from RINOs but conservatives? It makes me wonder if they know what a conservative is.

All Rush and Laura (and the party base) are doing is holding Amnesty John accountable by asking tough questions. If he’s so conservative, why does he favor limiting free speech, giving wholesale amnesty to lawbreakers, buying into the global warming myth, opposed the Bush tax cuts, giving terrorists constitutional rights, tough approaches to interrogation (AJ’s opposed to water boarding), teaming up with the Gang of 14. (These 14 senators worked behind the scenes deciding which judges would get a approved instead of letting them go to the Senate floor for a vote), and flirting with liberals every chance he gets? Heck, Amnesty John was even considered as a running mate to John Kerry. (I guess Senator Kerry decided to drop AJ after he decided to pick him) Oh, did I also mention he considered leaving the GOP in 2001 during a time when the GOP barely had control of the senate? This move would’ve put control right back in the hands of the Democrats.

I wish somebody would remind Amnesty John’s cheerleaders the proof is in the pudding. Just because somebody says they’re conservative doesn’t mean they are.

If Amnesty John wants to unite the GOP, might I suggest he reach out to conservatives? The truth is, we conservatives don’t feel comfortable with many of Amnesty John’s positions. We need proof he will listen to the party base and govern as a conservative.

In short, I want Amnesty John making promises to conservatives and keeping them.
