Let see, the ONLY thing standing between you and your worst nightmares on Immigration is the political spines of 41 GOP Senators, so of course the solution is to spend all our time screaming hate at the GOP?

Perhaps all the 100%ers might remember the GOP House Leadership they fired last Nov for not being dogmatically pure enough had this Immigration thing DEAD?

Perhaps all the screamers MIGHT want to keep in mind that 90% of the votes in Congress for this stupid bill will be DEMOCRAT votes.

The RNC is behind it.

The Senate and House leadership appear to be behind it.

The President is behind it.

It’s backed by prominent Republicans - and it’s pathetic that the prominent ones aren’t guys like Coburn - they are guys like McCain.

” Perhaps all the 100%ers might remember the GOP House Leadership they fired last Nov for not being dogmatically pure enough had this Immigration thing DEAD?”

That’s not quite how it happened. DeLay had to be browbeaten into it by the base. Go look up some of the old threads! I was a lurker back then but I remember the news.

“Perhaps all the screamers MIGHT want to keep in mind that 90% of the votes in Congress for this stupid bill will be DEMOCRAT votes.”

Want to bet on that one? 90%?

You keep saying this, but never back it up. Do you have any sort of backup for this claim that it was people on the far right who abandoned the party?
