There are a few things that will help the process of ridding the US of invaders:

1. Fines and JAIL TIME for anyone who abets the invasion. That includes those who employ them, rent to them, help them get credit, issue them driver's licenses, enroll them in schools, provide any more than medical care to save lives in emergencies and then a one-way ticket home when stabilized,

2. Give a meaningful reward to US citizens who turn them in, alive and unharmed.

It's a war, for heaven's sake. We're being invaded with collusion from the elite who really like dumbing down the general population and creating cheap labor and a market for cheaply produced goods. The only way to win is to not give even one inch of "wiggle room" to HOR reps.

Because they want the national media to like them; no other possible explanation, and of course the media will never like them. The fault lies with poor choices over decades by Republican primary voters.

Because they are evil, just like the democrats.

It is just as simple as that.

There are four inescapable conclusions:
1. The leadership of the Republican Party is every bit as anti-American as the Democrats' leaders. At the top, the visible battle between them is just a charade.
2. Enormous political and financial pressure is applied to newly-elected and lower-ranking politicians to betray their beliefs and the constituents who elected them. Very few politicians are principled and enough to resist it.
3. The longer one spends in Washington, the more alienated he becomes from the people and values of his home district. Washington becomes their "real" world, and constituents become a distraction from the "important work" that ordinary people just aren't capable of understanding.
4. Blackmail works. I have no doubt that many elected officials have experienced the kind of "Wilford Brimley" moment so famously depicted in the movie The Firm. It works.

For many decades, well-funded internationalists have patiently worked to destroy the independence and sovereignty of the United States of America, reshaping it into a debt-ridden, malleable socialist state under international authority -- like the formerly independent nations of the European Union. Foundations established by patriots were co-opted, and their funds were used to subvert academia, media and mainline churches, and to purchase politicians. As the foundations of our society have eroded, so has the fabric that once held us together. And now, as the last of our once-reliable institutions are falling, our common identity as assimilated Americans is being destroyed by floods of uncontrolled immigration. None of this has happened by accident.

The final power grab is cleverly camouflaged by the over-hyped threat of "Terrorism" here at home, with otherwise sane Americans abandoning their freedoms for the illusion of safety. Terrorism could never destroy our nation as we know if, but government tyranny most certainly can. We are at the brink of destruction, and most Americans don't even know who the real enemies are.

When Palin came out against Hayworth in 2010, she hurt herself with conservatives.

It looks like Boehner would just switch parties and relieve himself of anguish.

I don't know ... I think her support of McCain over Hayworth in 2010 was more pro forma than it was enthusiastic.

If Sarah had supported Hayworth over her esrtwhile running mate, I think she would have gotten the term 'backstabber' pasted on her by the media, in addition to 'quitter' and all the other lying media crap she's already dealing with.

IMO, if she wants to remain relevant, she should run for the AK Senate seat in 2014 that's currently held by a 'Rat.

Boehner will never switch parties. His 8thf Ohio district has voted solid republican since 1939 and only 20 years since the Civil War has it been in Dem hands.

That’s also his greatest weakness, though. A “Boehner’s a liberal” campaign run in his district BETWEEN elections would really get his attention.

No, it isn't "amnesty" they're promoting, it's -- what does Hewitt call it? -- "regularization".

I think there’s real truth to the notion that Horowitz proposes. The GOP, the Republican establishment, desperately wants to switch their base. The merely tolerate - if not despise - the social conservative and religious conservative wing of their party.

Romney did everything he could do to spit in the face of social conservatives, and actively campaigned for pro-gay, quasi-gun, revenue “enhancing”, democrats and independents.

They want a “budget balancing” coalition that excludes those who want traditional values. They’d give their “right” arm (so to speak) to get it. And then they could actually kick us to the curb instead of having to be sly about to whom they’re trying to appeal.

And Romney had rules changes enacted that puts the RinoGop fully in charge of the process.

In short, the GOP wants to be Democrats who like to balance their checkbook. That’s it.

Democrates live in the 1800s style slavery, crude and medievalist.

Republicans live in 21st century Japanese and Chinese modern days slavery of globalist trade. They see the Mexican and the arab the same way, as pervs moving the Kinsey-Rockefeller agenda.

Meanwhile communist materialists enjoy the show because to them it is edging to their world of a bourgeois adapting to their lust for total terror domination and pimping.

The answer to the question is simple. It is because they are too stupid to live.

They are pushing it because businesses want to keep their payroll low by hiring illegals for less than minimum wage.

That is definitely one of the top reasons. Obama and his other elite corporatist buddies, gop or dem, hate the middle class. It stands between them and their self-appointed rightful place on the throne.

Seriously. Tell me again why I should vote R in the next election and not just stay home?

The agenda is already set, the leadership doesn't need my vote.


Well they are pushing amnesty, they support the NSA and Obama administration illegally spying on Americans, they like to give us RINOs as the nominee (George H.W. Bush, Dole, George W. Bush, McCain, Romney), and well, I could go on, but I've run out of reasons to support the GOP as well.

A liberal is a liberal, even if they have an (R) next to their name. I'm tired of being a Conservative except when I go in the voting booth and pull the level for a liberal with an (R) next to their name.

So why on earth would Republicans push for amnesty

This is not a very hard question to answer. If you legally dump millions upon millions of unskilled laborers into the general American workforce, it will depress wages all around, just like it does with the agricultural and construction industries that currently rely on the illegals (criminals) to keep wages/costs down.

Follow the money. Lots of big businesses benefit from a glut of cheap labor in the short term, even if it hurts the country elsewhere in the long term. Big business has bought off Congress.

Sorry can you please give me some background on what you are referring to?

I am not familiar with Hayworth, and was not aware Palin took any sort of controversial stand way back when in 2010.

I do however know, she was “” this close to running last time. It looked to me like her bowing out, had something to do with her kids.

They’ve continued to grow, and will (all) be four years older next time around.

Just saying.
