I realize we're walking over plowed ground here, but this emphasizes how Sarah Palin, unlike any other politician since Reagan, is constantly appealing to folks across the entire political spectrum.

As the author indicates, the way to expand the "Big Tent" is NOT to pander to different factions but to demonstrate how your philosophy and policies will benefit everyone.

I don’t think Hispanics nor anyone in the USA wants 100 million more 3rd world immigrants coming to the USA

Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill is for the House not to consider any immigration related bill at all.

Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.

Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.

Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives won’t vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.

Tom Tancredo echos what Michelle Bachmann said.

The underlying strategy behind this amnesty business is quite ingenius. it's a win-win for the liberal Democrats and a lose-lose for Republicans. If we succesfully defeat amnesty, they get to portray us as racists and unsympathetic to Pedro's needs and the pedro vote is instantly given to the next Democratic presidential candidate. On the other hand, if we lose this fight, Pedro is obviously going to be inclined to vote for his perceived benefactor anyways, that being, of course, the Democratic candidate.

Any move we make costs us Pedro's vote; therefore, the only sensible solution is to defeat amnesty and make up for the lost Pedros among working class folks that really don't want to play Democratic party racial politics.

Division, the bane of the American people, is at the heart of dems politics (eg affirmative action.) If unity could be achieved through logical discussion and discourse, the People would fare far better.

Actually others have but have been attacked for doing so. Rick Santorum was attacked for reaching out to union members in Michigan when he was doing it exactly the right way by talking about Obama’s job killing policies and taxes. Keep in mind that Michigan union members polled supported right to work by 40%.

Aren’t Sarah’s brother and parents current/retired public school employees?

Isn’t Todd a union member?

According to some, public school teachers, government employees, and union members are all enemies of freedom. It seems that Sarah Palin has a different view of things. Conservatism will never truly succeed through rabble-rousing demonization of ordinary people. That also includes the working poor, the unemployed, the elderly, or anyone else who is trying to survive. A big tent beats a circular firing squad any day.

Sarah did not run this past time, which disappointed many, but I am seeing more and more how following God’s will also means following His all-wise and all-powerful timing. Let’s pray a miracle occurs and that not only politicians, but that people see afresh the value of being right with God, and not quick-fixes. We do not need to band-aid this thing, we need miraculous healings. As the country turns into a laughing stock, God may be using that to say “hey proud big wigs in Washington? see what a weak, inept laughing stock you are now a proud big wig of? don’t you think it’s time for something fresh?”

So I am going to ask a "stupid" question. If "comprehensive immigration reform" (i.e. Shamnesty) passes and hurts working class Americans. Why are the Republicans getting all the blame? Why aren't the Democrats going to feel some blowback?

It's like back in 1992 when I asked colleagues at work who lambasted Bush the Elder for breaking his pledge not to raise taxes. I then asked, "are you also going to vote against the Democratic congressmen that browbeat him into that?" All I got were blank looks.

I am turning into one of those cynics who believes that the elites of both major parties are out to screw the average American.

Find it strange when the excuse is being given that while the government knows whats going on in 300 million citizens lives but because the illegals are not citizens and in “the shadows” according to Florida’s Senator Rubio the US doesn’t know who they are or where they’re comming from so we must make them citizens..

THE QUESTION IS SENATORS HOW COULD YOU PASS A 1200 PAGE BILL YOU HAVEN’T READ... THAT HAS A FINE OF $5000 FOR ANY EMPLOYER WHO HIRES A CITIZEN OVER AN ILLEGAL ...WHY ARE YOU SO SET ON IMPORTING LOW WAGE LABORERS MAINLY FROM ONE COUNTRY WHICH TAKE UP JOBS OUR YOUTH AND ESPECIALLY BLACKS COULD BE PERFORMING ?

KNOWING THIS HOW CAN YOU HOUSE MEMBERS PASS ANY KIND OF LEGISLATION THAT MAY HAVE THAT AND AN UNSECURED BORDER COMMING OUT OF “CONFERENCE” and passed into law....???

FR’s ; are urged to visit their respective Congressional Representatives and let them know their feelings

WHEN IT COMES TO AMNESTY

THIS IS THE MEXICAN PART NO ONE DARES MENTION

If you agree with the above and the following please don’t let it lay here in FR-land. Pass it on to to your favorite talk show host and to your US legislators. PUSH THE HASTERT RULE.

ONE NATIONALITY AMNESTY SKEWS QUOTAS. HURTS OTHERS FROM SOUTH AMERICA, AND SKILLED LABOR QUOTAS FROM OTHER NATIONS ...WORSE YET OFFERING AMNESTY FOR NATIONALS FROM A COUNTRY THAT HAS CLAIMS ON OUR NATIONAL TERRITORY THAT COULD AND HAS TURNED INTO PROBLEMS FOR BORDER STATES CLAIMED BY MEXICO .

In that May 3rd speech Obama gave before the Mexican Anthropological Museum in which he blamed America for the violence in Mexico I believe he went even futhur. There’s a inference but never referenced by name to the Gasden purchase and border settlements US made with Mexico where Obama hinted he seems to side with the Mexican claims. Would those in attendence share that view is a question that should be asked, because I believe they would,.he does.

SOLVING THE ‘LATINO” PROBLEM A MYTH HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE BUT A POLITICAL LINGUISTIC CONTRIVANCE ...don’t fall into the hyphenated Americans trap created by the hyphenated political party ...The DEMO-COMS

The Mexicans have been getting most favorable treatment above the rest of our neighbors both north and south. They’re permitted to cross our borders and enter illegally and are allowed access to rights of citizenship (with the exception of voting which if the democrat party regains control over the House will happen) other nationals entering this country don’t get.. Worse yet the Obama government has been working hand in glove with Mexican movements such as LaRaza supporting the Mexican claims which are also supporting “Amnesty”.

Also by allowing Mexicans to do this any quota ration for immigration from other south and central American countrys are taken up by Mexicans while that country is laying claim to a large chunk of our sovereign territory is a recipe for later serious problems which are happening now.

ARE MEXICAN ILLEGALS SQUATTERS PERPETUATING THE MEXICAN CLAIMS ?

We are already seeing the result of this in certain areas claimed by the Mexicans. Their national flag (standard) gets displayed over ours. Where there is a controlling number of Mexican nationals (illegals). It’s displayed over certain institutions particularly schools accompanied by riots and disturbances. Blacks are threatend by Mexicans in certain sections of citys in those areas. We’re courting trouble by not placing a value on our sovereignty and our citizenship.

MOST COINS OF THE REALM HAVE TWO FACES WHAT ABOUT HOW ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING IN MEXICO BEING TREATED ?

Worse yet if a US citizen goes into Mexico never mind illegaly but legally. They’ll get 2nd class treatment. Land ownership in title is prohibited period. And there are a slew of regulations they must comply with. Which doesn’t apply to a citizen of Mexico

THE SOLUTION ASSERT OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND TALK RECIPROCITY .

By not insisting on reciprocity particularly on those who have entered this country illegally we’re offering no incentive for assimilation and we’re not easing the burden for our fellow citizens who for what ever reason decided to live in Mexico.

ENOUGH OF THE ONE WORLD SOCIALISM ...BRING BACK SOVEREIGNTY AND SANITY TO OUR COUNTRY .....BRING BACK BELIEF IN GOD ...THIS GOVERNMENT OUT OUR FACE..... OUR RELIGIONS..... AND OUR BEDROOMS..

Dirty tricks unfortunately work at times. Makes a travesty out of our system.

It has worked before and it will work again. Unfortunately.

Getting the people stirred up enough to act is difficult indeed. Timing is everything.

FIRST THINGS FIRST ... SAVE AMERICA!!!
