The issue is a dud.

Not hardly. Only about six and a half percent (6.5%) of the members of Cong. Tancredo's Immigration Reform Caucus lost their seats. Weren't somewhere around eleven and a half percent (11.5%) of all Republican seats lost?

How many Democrats that defeated incumbent Republicans that supported H.R.4437 actually ran on a platform of support for both legalization of millions of illegal aliens, as well a path to citizenship for those illegal aliens? Not many. Many Democrats that defeated incumbent Republicans that supported H.R. 4437 attempted to portray themselves as being as tough or tougher than their Republican opponent on illegal immigration and border security.

Those are the lessons of the election.

That is totally bogus. They all have safe seats -- the few that don't went down.

Yeah, now just watch them all vote for amnesty, deny that it's amnesty, and get away with it.
