CPAC: Conservatives Eat Their Own Over Immigration Reform

These people are fucking nuts. They want no debate and no reason can sway them.

One heckler shouted "legally!" in response to Ayres' pitch. Later, an audience member shouted out "politically correct!" when Korn said that Republicans should use language that's less "harsh" when speaking about the issue of immigration.

"So now the conservative base that stopped amnesty is demonized at #cpac2013," tweeted Mark Krikorian, executive director of the immigration restrictionist group Center for Immigration Studies

Then you got the religious bigots who want to use Hispanics through religion and social issue crap. They don't care about issues other than mandating to government keep people in their place as far as their god is concerned

"We are losing the battle against secular socialism at the moment … we need more allies" said GOP pollster Whit Ayres. He also added that it would be a "good idea" for Republicans to aggressively pursue hard-working and religious Hispanic voters in order to rebuild a winning coalition.
