Lindsay Graham is the poster child for the GOP’s death spiral.

Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with the GOP going into a “death spiral”. I will be voting only for conservative Americans from here on out anyway. They have been thrown out of the GOP.

“But if we don’t pass immigration reform, if we don’t get it off the table in a reasonable, practical way,”

And that is what it has been always about with the Stupid Party.

You're exactly right. It's time that people see this for what it is. Here we have one of the biggest abusers of political power crying to us that if we don't cut our own throats, he and his ilk will lose their precious positions. There needs to be a Nationwide push to clean out Washington D.C. of all it's decades-long, filth. Instead of a TEA party, we need a clean-up crew.

Rubio is a cunning snake and pathological liar not naive .

Marko killed any illegal legislation in the Fl Senate time after time.

Last week this snake met in secret with the K street drunk
Bonehead to cook up a strategy to ram it thou the house .

Rubio is bold face liar and a K street stooge but amnesty is his baby .

He added a pro ion that give Cuban illegals full benefits and citizenship immediately in the bill !

Do not be fooled by him

Principled people would do what they must do, no matter what the consequences or outcome. What is the RIGHT thing for America.

FROM MY EMAIL ARCHIVES

What did Presidents Hoover , Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?

This is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around. I didn’t know of this until it was pointed out to me.

Back during the great depression, Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.

Harry Truman deported over two million illegal aliens after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans.

In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexicans. The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them!

Now, if they could deport the illegal aliens back then, they could surely do it today. If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.

Why, you might ask, can’t they do this today? Actually the answer is quite simple. Hoover , Truman, and Eisenhower were men of honor, not untrustworthy politicians looking for votes!

Reminder: Don’t forget to pay your taxes - 12 to 20 million illegal aliens - are depending on it.

Heh.

Too late, Linda.

Either way GOP loses big.

The demonRATS have them pegged on this one.

* If the “immigration reform” bill fails, the GOP is the big, bad meany and will lose elections.

* If the “immigration reform” bill passes, we immediately get 11 to 20 million new demonRAT voters.

And don’t believe for a microsecond that they will be prevented from voting.

I’ll venture that a lot of them are voting already, anyway.

But either way, win or lose, “immigration reform” will finish the GOP once and for all.

We will be reduced to a one-party communist system, a-la 20th Century Soviet Empire.

I would hope so. The longer conservatives wait to supplant the Republican party the less likely they will sweep the present crew out of Washington.

Morever, why should we cow tow and cater to illegal aliens from these countries?? Why??

What GOOD are these people to us? You mean to tell me we are to bend over backwards to get into their good graces?

THIS is what Graham is essentially saying.

So, myself, an American whose ancestors have been here at least 150 years now, who helped build and fight for this country, have to cow tow and bend over to some freaking illiterate peasant who will come here and ask EVERYTHING of me to get a leg up in this country ...perhaps even kill and harm fellow Americans in the process?? Steal from us, steal our social security funds, our numbers, etc? Ruin our hospitals, our cities, our schools? Our communities?

These people should be begging US. Instead we are ushering them in as if they are some kind of royalty. It’s DISGUSTING.

Graham simply wants to make THEM the royalty and YOU the slave ... so HE can be royalty, too.

Its criminal. Graham and his ilk are criminals. I have no idea how we tolerate this pig or others like him!!!!

Conservatives have been buying into the "half a Republican is better than none" theory for too long. All it does is elect Democrats.

Screw that.

I am not voting for Gomez in Massachusetts, and I am not voting for half a Republican in 2014 or 2016 or any time thereafter. I am DONE!

NEVER AGAIN!

I almost feel sorry for Marco Rubio. I am certain he started off with good intentions.

There is no evidence that he had good intentions. It’s just what liberals do.
