GEORGE BUSH’S BETRAYAL AND DESTRUCTION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler Wednesday, 15 November 2006
The worst fears of conservative Republicans in Congress came true this Monday (11/13), six days after their November 7 wipeout. The tapping of Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) as RNC Chairman is confirming evidence that George Bush is intent on destroying the Republican Party.
The most stunning defeat the GOP suffered on election day was that of Michael Steele for the open Senate seat in Maryland. Here is a black Lt. Governor who is really smart, really articulate, and really conservative Republican. The Dems were desperate to see him lose and they succeeded.
Outgoing Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Ken Mehlman immediately recognized the value of Steele to the GOP and asked him to be his successor. Rove and Bush squashed the offer like a bug. Steele has been humiliated and is infuriated - he may drop out of politics now to the GOP's great loss.
Bush and Rove instead forced their choice of Martinez upon the party. Why? Because Martinez, a Hispanic, is a fierce advocate of amnesty for illegal aliens.
The deal has been baked into the legislative cake. Bush has made a pact with Senate and House Democrats to work with them on amnesty. There are at least 20 million illegals now in America, the great majority of them from Mexico. Most of them are adults, which means 10-15 million new voters - who will vote for the party that promises them the greatest amount of government handouts.
That would be the Democrats. Which ensures a permanent Democrat majority in the House and the Senate, as well as ensconce a Democrat in the White House, for the foreseeable future.
Yet this is not simply the destruction of the Republican Party. The illegals granted amnesty and thus citizenship will demand their wives, children, parents, and cousins to the fifth remove be able to join them. Amnesty will be a neon sign along the entire length of our southern border that America no longer has a border and any Mexican is welcome to become a US citizen.
Amnesty is quite simply the end of the United States as we know it. And it will have been achieved by George W. Bush.
If you accuse him of this, he will vehemently deny it. He will argue that Hispanic family values and willingness to work will result in their becoming Republicans over time.
The killer qualification is that "over time." Until that time comes, which may be decades, they will vote Democrat.
The only hope to stop this - the permanent rule of the Democrat Party and the very dissolution of our country - is one Senator from Arizona, John Kyl. He has vowed to filibuster any amnesty legislation. He needs 40 votes for the filibuster to succeed and it looks like he will only have 32 or 33 in the new Congress.
There may be a chance to block it in the House through a coalition of Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats, many of whom are newly-elected and opposed to amnesty.
Quite frankly, every issue facing us including the war in Iraq and on Islamic Terrorism pales in comparison to this one, upon which the very existence of America depends.
One of the principal reasons given for voting Republican and retaining the GOP majority in the House was to prevent the House's takeover by the Pelosi Democrats, with Hate America Moonbats like John Conyers taking over the Judiciary Committee and impeaching Bush.
Once Bush's pact with the Democrats to achieve amnesty for illegal aliens becomes widely known, you can expect conservatives to wish Conyers well and assist him in his endeavors.
And oh, yes -- House Democrats have announced their intention to repeal the Secure Fence Act passed last month mandating 700 additional miles of fencing along the border with Mexico. Bush will not object.

"If these whiners and finger pointers would just stuff a sock in it already."
I'm pointing at unsecured borders and you betcha, I'm whining about it... do you really expect a 'sock' to fix it, or do you just prefer it continue to remain wide open to terrorists, while crossing your fingers that nothing happens?
OK, so you've admitted that your real problem is Hispanics, not immigration in general.
How do you think that makes good, assimilated Hispanics feel? I saw a GOP candidate drive a young professional woman (2nd or 3rd generation American of Hispanic background) out of the room in tears because of his anti-Hispanic rant. Who do you think she voted for?
Hispanics who want to stay here (and most Mexicans want to work and go back, contrary to popular opinion) want to learn English, but have been prevented by the teachers' unions and the Dem establishment from doing so. Bush proposed funding for English lessons and tighter requirements for English.
Furthermore, when Italians, Germans, and even many Irish (who came from the poor areas and spoke Gaelic) arrived here, they didn't speak English. How do you feel about that? They learned, and so do Hispanics, given the chance.
Teenager, I think you've got a lot of learning to do. Please don't grow up to be a bigot. It's going to mess up our party in a big way, and is going to ruin your life.
Now, I voted straight GOP because while the Republican/RINOs in office p!$$ me off, the Democrats terrify me. But now you're saying that those who are fed up about lawbreaking - when us or our forefathers worked hard to legally get into this country - are "anti-Hispanic extremists"?!?
What a joke. I hope people like you aren't at the head of the GOP. Well, actually I think events are proving that people like you are at the head of the GOP. This is most distressing.
"anti-Hispanic extremists"
LOL, playing the race card will get you no where fast.
But hey, if they've changed the 'no personal attacks' rule around here, let me know...I can think of a few choice words.
Yours: Written by someone who hasn't been paying close enough attention.
To bad they aren't the cheerleader.
Actually, at the time that most of our forefathers arrived, standards were basically: (a) you couldn't have TB or any other obvious and communicable disease; and (b) you had to have the address of someone here willing to put you up. You didn't have to speak English or do much of anything other than be able-bodied. If you wanted to become a citizen, there were classes for you to learn the English language and US history. These still exist, but much of the issue - particularly for the children of immigrants, who had to attend leftist public schools - got confused after the 1970s by "multiculturalism," which has been a disaster for immigrants.
After the immigrants arrived, private agencies (usually based on whether the immigrants were Catholics, Jews or Protestants) took over and did the language teaching and assimilation work.
It's not a race card. He said he didn't like Hispanics. At least he was honest.
"He's good on some things (has a good pro-life record)"
Yes, this is true ... but this amensty thing is being stuck right up the US Taxpayer's backside and Mel is right there helping it along.
GW is elated that he now has "the Congress" he can work with on this issue. He said as much in the post election Q&A. Speaks volumes concerning "compassionate conservatism".
Eliminate the borders thing, because there's more to a border than building a wall, and I honestly think Bush is trying to work out a decent compromise. Input with reasonable suggestions would be good, but just screaming that he wants "amnesty" (which is not true) is not helpful. In any case, any Dem is going to be about ten times more "open borders" than any Republican. Based on the remaining categories, who would you vote for?
Personally, I couldn't vote for any of the three you named. McCain is a raving semi-lefty prima donna, Giuliani is so socially liberal that I simply couldn't vote for him for national office (unless he changes), and there's just something I don't trust about Romney. He talks a good game in some ways, and he has cut the MA budget, but he doesn't convince me. I hope somebody else shows up between now and 2008.
"He said he didn't like Hispanics"
OBL bias is clouding your comprehension.
I agree about the state treasuries. My feeling has always been that if people were serious about wanting to get a grip on massive illegal immigration, they would stop their cities and states from handing out welfare benefits, refusing to check IDs, etc. These are all local laws that have permitted mass immigration to become a problem, thanks to the Dems that pushed these laws through. But changing them might require some work. Screaming that it's Bush's fault is much easier.
DO NOT LET THAT GUY CALL YOU A BIGOT. IF YOU ARE ANTI-AMNESTY THE DEMS LABEL YOU A BIGOT. LOOKS LIKE SOME OTHERS WILL TOO!!!!! Just keep on keeping on, glad to see a teen involved.
Of course we wouldn't. Brits speak English and assimilate quickly to our culture.Teenager
So the problem clearly is not immigrants, even illegal ones, but the fact that they arrive here not speaking English. Despite the best efforts of the Dems, most Hispanic immigrants learn it very quickly (they don't get ahead even in grunt jobs if they don't). They may not be ready to address the Harvard Club, but I doubt that I would be either.
Bush wants assimilation. Hispanic immigrants want assimilation. Why don't we work on that aspect of it? Go and volunteer to teach English somewhere. That's what people did for non-English speaking German and Russian immigrants in the 19th century, and in fact, it is something I have also done here. It's very rewarding because immigrants, especially women at home who don't have regular daily contact with English-speakers, really want to learn English.
I agree with your first paragraph! Totally! The stuff about Bush, not so much. I think he is the one of the few willing to fight Islamics!
Guest workers were just fine until LBJ destroyed the program to curry favor with the unions. People came here, worked for a bit, and then went back to their villages with a few bucks in their pockets. As they got more prosperous, they stopped coming. There was supervision of the program, and because the workers were legal, employers were actually forced to abide by the law. I lived in California before the program was destroyed and I remember a few busts of creepy Valley growers who were trying the slavery bit. They still do, as you may have noticed from occasional reports, but now I bet that more of them get away with it.
That said, while I don't think Bush or any Republican has been exactly sterling, I honestly can't understnad the theory that a Dem would be better. They are opposed to everything you stand for from the word go and are tied in with groups that are even worse. I think the point is to put more pressure on the GOP to do things like cut taxes, encourage business, etc. Unfortunately, of course, one of the problems of the latter is that business wants to go abroad, where it can get cheaper everything, because the American consumer wants cheap rather than good and will make his spending decisions based solely on price. I'm not sure what can be done about that, but it's not a government thing, in any case.
