Today’s slaves are the poor taxpayers who have to pay to support these 25 million illegals benefits.

Nobody forced them to come here. They can go back any time they want to.

Nope, nobody forced them to come here.

You know who else isn't being forced? Me, as in being forced to stay a Republican.

I made the decision at the beginning of the year that I was finished with the GOP as a whole, and would only support Republican candidates who were actual Conservatives, and I have yet to see anything that makes me want to come back to the GOP. And I see the number of Republicans I consider to be Conservatives rapidly shrinking.

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, I didn't leave the GOP, the GOP left me. If they want to willingly give this country over to the Democrats while ignoring us Conservatives, they can do so without my vote or support.

I am staying registered GOP for now because the best chance for me to influence the process and get a more conservative candidate in the general election is to vote in the primaries. If too many conservatives become independents, then RINOs will be nominated for sure. However, my patience is pretty much gone. If things don’t improve in the GOP after the mid-terms, IE more Tea-Partyish candidates, than I will be doing the same as you.

The only hope for the GOP is a Tea-Party coupe of the GOP-e and some better candidates with communications skills to convince a bigger portion of Hispanics and Asians to vote Republican. This can be done without compromising our principles if we field good candidates, who are fighters, who can speak well, and won’t step on their appendages or self-destruct in stupidity. This is a tall order for the “stupid party” but we must try because third party, and we may be forced to go that way soon, will just ensure democrats winning for years to come (assuming the system continues as it is). We have a very short time to improve things in the GOP.

I've been thinking this since around the time McCain got the nomination, which is finally why my patience wore out. First McCain, then Romney, now the supposed Conservatives like Rubio are handing this country over to permanent Democratic rule.

Texas is now minority-majority rule, about 5 years ahead of schedule. Once the numbers shift enough and Texas flips, there's no way the GOP in its current state will take the White House back. Whether it's by 2020 or earlier, I don't know, I just know that things like what Rubio wants are speeding up the destruction of this country.

Agreed. I live in Texas. I am very worried about my state and country as a whole.

Right now, Texas is dominated by the repubs, and pretty good ones at that. The one area where Texas repubs are weak is immigration. We have always had a blended culture here with many conservative hispanics keeping the state from going liberal. I am worried about the impact of this amnesty on my state and how these newcomers will change things.

If the proposed immigration “reform” is passed it will result in 30-50 million formerly illegal aliens and their immediate families becoming legal citizens. I don’t think our republic can absorb such a large group of people in such a short amount of time without serious negative consequences. Politically, it will doom the repubs for at least a generation. It would probably result in the party disbanding. Democrat domination of our national agenda for the next 40 years will ruin this country.
So, we must do everything possible to slow down this process...insist on a study on the impact of immigraiton reform....raise security concerns...demand thorough hearings, and dissemination of the full proposal on the Internet (giving the public ample time to review it) anything to slow this down. That way opposition can increase and we can propose much better legislation which will put immigration enforcement/border security first before any talk of allowing illegals to work here legally. I would oppose any bill that allows illegals (with the possible exception of so called “dream act children” who were raised here most or all of their lives) to have a path to citizen ship outside of the normal process. Really, this is a make or break issue and the rinos in the stupid party better get a clue before it is too late.
