Quite a bit can be done. Red states can pass minimum wage increases, which would make it less likely for low skill immigrants to be hired in red states. They can eliminate income taxes, and replace it with sales taxes, which is a more regressive tax. Let them gravitate towards blue states.
Not true. This gives the illegals work permits and other legal benefits.
Hum, Republicans are tied in a knot, but Obama is willing to do anything necessary.
Anyone see a problem here?
The plain and simple truth is that Hume likes to attend DC cocktail parties.
Won’t happen; the same American people in many cases who voted “Republican” on November 4 are pre-committed to HRC in 2016 because they think she will bring in a “good economy.”
Now, that's what they are certain to do! Didn't the silly McC say c. November 1 that nothing will change if he become majority leader.
That was my initial impression, too. Who is this unnamed writer, and why should we believe all of her (or his) insinuations just because they are posted on the Internet? I'm fairly sure that Brit Hume takes the shortsighted Chamber of Commerce side on the immigration debate, but this so-called "Bookworm" -- who self identifies as a non-Conservative -- has gone to some lengths to poison the water between Hume and those with whom he agrees 90% of the time. It's what I would do if I were an unscrupulous leftist and trying to do the most damage to my recently-victorious enemies.
Separately, I don't understand why so many people act as though any exercise of the House of Representative's "power of the purse" automatically equates to a "shutdown" of the federal government. If the GOP House is serious about doing its job, it will pass separate bills for each of the Executive departments, which the new GOP Senate can pass and send separately to the president. Only an "omnibus" budget monstrosity forces such high stakes showdowns, and the GOP will soon have both gavels and comfortable majorities -- and no excuse not to return to regular order in departmental budgeting.
Absolutely correct. That is the only explanation for arguing that any and all Republican Congresses must give up their power of the purse and their plenary power over immigration to the dictator because his father was black and the MSM is Marxist. It is laughable.
Put out to pasture years ago, curmudgeon Hume is a crap weasel retread from the MSM that needs to STAY IN THE PASTURE.
If recollection serves me correctly, Hume worked for Marxist Drew Pearson’s “Washington Merry-Go-Round” column later run by draft-dodger/leftist Jack Anderson.
I remember sitting in a room with a govt investigator who was talking to Hume about a story they had run and he was telling Hume (or perhaps, less likely, Joe Spear), that their story was wrong. They had accused this investigator of doing something that he did not do but could not explain to them because it involved a parallel classified intelligence operation.
Hume or Spear never ran a correction.
In the old days, I was privy to some undercover intelligence operations, being a former undercover operative myself. The Wash. Post was the worst smear-artist against govt intelligences organizations and congressional internal security committees. Even today their obituary columns read like they were written by the Communist Party (re the Irving Peress obit the other day).
Hume is sometimes correct in his assessments, but then he reverts back to the old liberal inside of him. I hate a man who can’t stand by his own intellectual convictions.
I see him occasionally. Don’t recall ever being shocked at any liberal spewage even once. He’s kind of wooden....but he’s no rachel maddow!
He does, however, work at FNC? Maybe this is the first essay completed, with many more to come? The bad guys are very busy. A thousand points of darkness....chipping away intellegently, sneakily, at any bulwark of individuality or liberty or the morality/ freedom matrix...which thr good and nifty, as we are inclined to be , wish to bequeath to our posterity!
What utter rot from a flaming hypocrite obvious Democrat quoting another flaming hypocrite obvious RINO.
And shaddap already, jeez.
That’s it in a nutshell! Great graphic, potlatch!
“Hume, incidentally, made clear that he has the lowest possible opinion of Cruz and the Tea Party.”
I thought Hume was more intelligent than that. Well, you learn something new every day, I guess.
**********************************
Hume, former host on FNC of the show now hosted by Bret Baer, often appears on FNC as an analyst. His views for several years have clearly shown that he opposes the TEA Party and Conservatives like Cruz. ....I’ve lost any respect for him as an independent journalist.
I don't think a government shutdown in the near future would be the disaster for Republicans Hume seems to believe.
Thank you Nit.
[hope you don’t mind my nickname, lol]
Neither is he.
