ATTENTION Whoever Re-Programmed Hannity to Tout Amnesty as a Solution to the GOP's Current Woes...
Reaganite Republican ^ | 14 November 2012 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 11/14/2012 6:48:37 AM PST by Reaganite Republican

'Amnesty = Hispanic votes' is nothing more than a desert mirage, one based 
on easily-disproven false premises...

Listen up, Gee-oh-Pee establishment losers:

As the despicable, disingenuous American left LOVE to remind us over-and-over-and-over, Ronald Reagan -in a good faith effort to settle the issue once and for all- allowed a 'one time only' legalization of 2.7M mostly-Mexican immigrants by signing 1986's Simpson-Mazzoli Act, and attempt at immigration reform which granted not just amnesty but full citizenship.

While that's true enough, The Gipper actually came to regard his signing of the legislation as one of the 'greatest regrets' of his two-term presidency, since the man Reagan once likened to 'Pac-Man, a round thing that gobbles money'
-House Speaker 
Tip O'Neill- reneged on most his promises, the Dems even gutting at the last congressional minute the bill's enforcement mechanism on the employer level. Thus, the legalization/citizenship part came to be, but hiring 'fresh' illegals continued to be an easy crime that cost companies who continued to do it nothing.

The issue was of course not-at-all resolved, so here we are today: the continued pull of potential employment has brought us as many as 30M illegals squatting in the USA while the Dems look for new excuses to 'solve' a problem largely of their own creation by registering them for welfare, food stamps, and -naturally- the Democratic Party.

Yep, incremental millions of poor immigrants are indeed natural Democrats on economic issues at least, while libs will surely find a way to finagle full citizenship for all once we allow most amnesty. But idea that the GOP's joining in pardoning the law-breakers -thus encouraging a further deluge- is going to gain Republican net votes is sheer and utter nonsense, as history insists this is simply not the case:

_______________________________________________________________________

DougRoss@Journal (highlights Ed.):


With data from Pew Research (h/t Free Republic), let's examine the historic trend line of Hispanic support for Democrats and Republicans.

Please note: whether Republicans support amnesty or not, the share of the Latino vote captured by Republican candidates stays in the same narrow band...

Because, as has been explained over and over and over again, Hispanic support for Democrats has nothing to do with 'amnesty'.

Hey, Boehner: you listening?


________________________________________________________________________

Yes, people usually vote in their own self-interest. And I'm with Doug Ross on this- if Boehner and friends persist with this sort of 'suicidal idiocy' on immigration, we'll rattle him out of that Speaker's chair faster than you can say adios amigo.

Like Mark Levin said last week, the ONLY reason the Democrats promote amnesty/citizenship is to gain a few million (reliable) voters- 'this has nothing to do with practical solutions or human compassion'- that's all just bullshit used to cover for the fact they're frantically building a Democratic vote factory as fast as they can screw it together- why would we be lending them a helping hand with that?

But according to The Great One -even though those votes will hurt the GOP over the long-run- their eventual citizenship shouldn't even be our most pressing concern. The biggest problem would be the dramatic -and immediate- impact the legalization would have on welfare/Obamacare entitlements, both of which will be supporting foreign citizens that broke-into our (totally broke) country.


While it's difficult to know for sure if the inside-the-beltway Republican establishment actually believe their new current Open Borders Lite claptrap, they surely find the issue convenient in diverting blame for their own piss-poor performance in last week's election towards conservatives: since Romney needed to take a hawkish position on immigration to secure the nomination, the fattest asses in the GOP are now attempting to paint this and other issues dear-to-the-Right as contributing heavily to his defeat (yes, for some in the RNC, Mittens wasn't moderate enough). What's the difference -if any- between the RNC's model candidate and a Blue Dog Democrat? I keep forgetting...



And it's not just the RNC, Karl Rove, and John Boehner we need to worry about: now Rand Paul apparently sees political opportunity -for himself- in crafting his very own plan for 'eventual path to citizenship' -not just amnesty- for ALL illegals... and he thinks he can do it 'in a way conservatives can support'. 

With all due respect, Senator- WE'LL decide what we're willing to support... and it ain't that

As John Hawkins put it (highlights Ed.)-
_______________________________________________________________________

Of all the misguided, corrupt and deranged ideas floating around inside the D.C. bubble, perhaps the single worst one is giving illegal aliens amnesty as part of some sort of attempt to capture the Hispanic vote. 


If the GOP were to pursue a policy that primarily benefits corrupt business owners, the government of Mexico, and Democrats at the expense of our country and our own base, we'd truly deserve the "Stupid Party" moniker that has so often been hung around our neck. 


This policy wouldn't be a calculated risk or even a longshot; it would be a game of Russian Roulette with a bullet in every chamber...

I don’t dislike Hannity, but I no longer listen to him.

RINOs are anathema in my world, and I consider them to be simply clueless braindead folks on their way to becoming the dreaded zombilib.

Amnesty guarantees that America will FAIL. Anyone who supports it is either a fool, or a traitor. Emphasis on the latter.

Hannity has jumped on the amnesty bandwagon...he was pulled up there by his amigo Juan McShame, Grahamnesty, Hatch, Rubio (we saw this coming before the election), Bonehead and now, sadly, Rand Paul.

Why ANY Republican would push for something that automatically give Dims MILLIONS of new voters, is beyond me. They will NOT assimilate and they will NOT vote Republican.

“Why ANY Republican ...”

The DC machine is afraid of Americans in Flyover Country asserting their states rights...and is attempting to dilute that potential. The fact that anybody in DC could even THINK of an amnesty discussion in the context of 12-15% unemployment should be terrifying to anybody outside the Beltway.

Wake-UP!!!

the Two Party system is an illusion.

the Two Parties are DC-Flyover Country...and all makes sense in DC when you start examining it from that perspective....and turning off the COINTELPRO they’re spewing.

Your name is particularly ironic, since Reagan was one of the first - or perhaps it was the very first - to grant an “amnesty” way back in 1986.

Unless we work out a permanent solution, we’re just going to go from amnesty to amnesty, not to mention getting a “policy” governed by executive order (such as when Obama took large numbers from the Latin American quota to give more spaces to African Muslims, almost all of whom are probably still on welfare).

“Unless we work out a permanent solution...”

It’s called enforcing the immigration laws, and hasn’t been done since the 1950s when President Eisenhower shipped a million or so wetbacks back home to Mexico.

The governing of out country is not a football game!

We don’t “assess our loss” in terms of what the other side did to “win”.

Hannity is in the locker room watching film of the other team and adopting their strategy to “use against them”.

RINO’s...BEGONE!

LOL @ the headline.....I had a brief vision of Hannity sitting all still and blank-eyed, a trapdoor open in his back, while someone tinkers with a screwdriver.....

It fits.

But read comments on the you tubes, the yahoo threads, the comments sections on links to LA Times articles. Granted, you see a lot of entitlement liberal idiots, but you see a lot of pretty level-headed folks who understand what a load of crap big government liberalism actually IS, and it's starting to dawn on some of them that elections have gotten downright stinky in America lately.

They are voting anyway. In my small town a Mexican, who could barely speak English, wanted to vote. The lady at the polling place, with me watching, who knows what she would have done unwatched, told him that he needed proof of residence, such as a bill, sent to him at his address. She lamented heavily that he should be able to vote, and sent him to someone else there to see if that person could help him.

I don't think most Mexicans understand, nor care that they aren't suppose to vote. They are told to vote, and for whom by the democrat voting machine, and they do so in droves. What is to stop them? The answer, nothing.

I wonder, did Hannity and the rest of the Good Old Panderers pushing for amnesty give their kids a pony every time they stomped their feet and said “I hate you”?

Maybe every illegal will get a free Ruth’s Chris steak certificate,too.

You have to wonder, don’t you? They couldn’t roll over and show their bellies fast enough. There isn’t a real man among them.
