Well it pretty easy, the democrats gained 30 seats and 10 of those pickups came from Tancredo's caucus, including such big names as Hayworth and Hostettler who made immigration a big part of their campaigns.

I see your little game, Dane.

There were over 100 members of the GOP House in Tancredo's caucus.

I'll be generous to you and say they were only 45 percent of the House GOP.

So a body that represents 45 percent of the House GOP had members lose 1/3 of the lost seats. So, in simple, honest terms, they lost at a lesser rate than non-caucus members.

Smoke that, weasel-boy. You're too dishonest to mention the little detail as to how many members were in the caucus.

There were actually 103 members to be exact http://tancredo.house.gov/irc/members.html. However, some of these are NOT "build a fence and expel them all" extremists, but simply of the opinion that something needed to be done. Ron Paul, for example, is the most open borders solution guy of all the Republicans, and he is a member of the caucus. There are a number of libertarians and market solutions people in the caucus. Dane is correct in saying that several of the most vocal "law enforcement solution" advocates of immigration reform were defeated.

I don't know Dane, being new here but s/he is simply saying what seems to be common sense to me....., many conservative Republicans think that simply building a wall is not a solution at all, nor is it the best thing for us, nor is it particularly intelligent, if we do not reform our immigration policies.

I don't understand the venom, either. Did she turn you down for a date or something? It is just a discussion, after all.
