If we can take back the house or reduce the dem #s in the senate in 2010, he may never get a chance to ram thru amnesty or his other leftest legislation.

Doesn’t matter if we take them back or not. His chances of passing amnesty grow smaller every day. Next year, an election year, they will be nil. The closer to an election you get, the less likely it is you can pass iffy legislation. That’s why they are trying to get cap and trade this year, and the health-care Rube Goldberg socialization plan. Next year, all bets are off because most of them have their minds concentrated by a looming election and become risk-averse. The Dem leadership, most of whom are in safe districts, will try to bully it through, but as I said, the closer you get to an election, the lower their chances of success become. And boy has he thumbed his nose at the open borders crowd. What a site to see.

Don't be too sure.

It was a Republican president, and a lot of Republicans in the Senate and House (led by John McCain) who were in the pocket of the Wall Street Journal and the Chamber of Commerce that tried to force amnesty on us last time.

And those RINOs - Graham, McCain, Sam Johnson, Cornyn, Flake - are still around.
