Yet for all of that, you call me ignorant and arrogant for postulating what conservatives have going for them. Your claim to experience and knowledge boils down to a position of literal hopelessness - the numbers of voting illegals simply cannot be beaten. Is that, or is that not, your point?

How dense are you? I suggest you reread my posts along with the Schlafly study. The issue is LEGAL IMMIGRATION! We bring in 1.1 million PERMANENT LEGAL IMMIGRANTS A YEAR. Since 1990 almost 30 million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS HAVE COME TO THIS COUNTRY. They are on a path to citizenship and voting legally. In addition, one out of every ten births in this country is to an illegal alien. The children are citizens through birthright citizenship. They will be able to vote when they are 18. Approximately 300,000 children are born annually to illegal aliens.

And Obama, the Dems, and many Reps want to provide amnesty to another 12 to 20 million legal aliens, which will put them on a path to citizenship and the right to vote. But the major problem is still LEGAL IMMIGRATION. Unless we reduce those numbers, the Reps are finished, at least as a conservative alternative. They will morph into a liberal, big government party like the Dems. The transformation is already underway.

And if it is, then I still don’t get why you’re here, since you reject any possibility of conservative success in the coming elections

I give the Reps very little chance of winning the Presidential election in 2016 and those numbers decline every four years as the demographics change. The first thing that needs to be done is to limit the number of legal immigrants. They are taking jobs from Americans and depressing wages. In fact, immigrants have taken all of the jobs since 2000 with fewer of the native born working today than in 2000.

The way forward is thru the strategy posited by Jeff Sessions, something I have written about and supported. Sessions' article, Becoming the Party of Work should be required reading for any Rep candidate.

I wrote something for the American Thinker a few years ago laying out a similar strategy. Mass Immigration versus the Rights of American Workers

The best way to break up the Dem stranglehold is to go after their blue collar constituents. American jobs for American workers should be the slogan. Blacks and Hispanics are the hardest hit by this influx of workers, but the college educated class will be hit also as we go to a merit based system that will bring in huge numbers of skilled workers to compete with Americans.

So tell me, given all your experience and knowledge, what - other than conservativism is doomed and with it, the country - are you saying?

I am saying that the GOP and the conservatives should break their chains with big business and side with the American worker. How can we justify bringing in over a million workers a year while our labor participation rate is the lowest in 38 years? Both parties have abandoned the American worker.

Yeah, I meant voting immigrants - obviously, since I was talking about elections. But you are aware of legalizing illegals to vote, right?

And yeah, corporate America has sold out American workers.

But you’re not counting literally every other election variable. And especially, you’re not counting those who have refused to vote until someone like Cruz comes along - someone who is anti-RINO.

Remember the midterm victories. In my humble, dense, arrogant opinion, it’s not quite time to give up yet. To the contrary, actually.

YMMV
