Clinton's Toe Sucker: GOP Should Back Immigration Compromise

The Republican Party can decide whether it lives or dies by whether or not it blocks the immigration compromise from passing this year. If they stop it from going through and a Democratic President pushes it through a Democratic Congress in 2009, the GOP will suffer as much among Hispanic voters as it did among black voters after Barry Goldwater crusaded against the Civil Rights Bill in his 1964 election campaign. Until Goldwater did that, blacks usually voted Republican. Kennedy won over about 60% of them when he called Correta Scott King while her husband was in jail. But LBJ got the 90% of the black vote that has since become his partys expected share as a direct result of Goldwaters campaign.
If the Republican Party passes this bill while a GOP president can still sign it and take partisan credit for it, they will have a very good chance of winning the Latino vote in the future. If not, they will be ground under the demographic changes in America just as the Labor Party was in the early years of the 20th century.

Morris is not an idiot but he is a pure political hack pontificating on the political downside to the GOP if the awful bill does not pass. We care about the future of our republic, he simply does not. His type sees politics as something of game with winners and losers. We see a once grand Constitutional republic and shake our heads.

The GOP is toast if it passes this bill. It might be toast if it doesn’t...but I’m thinking Third Party for the first time in my life.

I understand most legal Hispanics are against illegal immigrationThat's what I understand as well. I heard a guy on the radio today.He's in the bulding trade & said it's taken him 20+ years to achieve $35 per hour. If this invasion is allowed to happen, he'll be back down to $17.00 ph due to all the excess workers that are sure to flood the trades.
It's a very interesting take on the whole mess, wouldn't you agree?

Somehow I doubt the La Raza vote was ever really in play for true conservatives.
It's a sickness you know, that wishing that everyone would love us.
Hell being American doesn't mean everyone likes you. In fact it means most don't like you because your successful, independent,self reliant free spirits.
Everything they don't have the courage to be.

Right. This is a stick-in-the-eye to the middle class.
The GOP has a chance to win back those kinds of voters by opposing the sellout.

Until Goldwater did that, blacks usually voted Republican.
I am pretty sure Morris is wrong about this, too. IIRC, blacks voted overwhelmingly for FDR. Blacks in the northern cities were also voting overwhelmingly for Democrats from the 30s on. Blacks in the South voted Republican until the 60s, because the Democrats in the South were the ones who enforces segregation. Safe to say Dick Morris wasn't a history major.

To: Bobkk47
Actually I don’t care whether Morris is right or not because it’s WE the American citizens who get it in the neck if this legislation is forced on us.So from that perspective screw ALL the political parties who gain from this criminal bill because we the citizens are going to get stuck having to deal with its effects !!!

>>He is assuming Hillary will win and pass something worse. Its not going to happen. American Citizens will never give Amnesty a free pass.<<
If Republicans help pass amnesty, voters will give them the boot in 2007, thus allowing the Dems to do anything they want. Morris does not understand how intensely people hate this bill.

Sorry, I meant 2008, although if the constitution allowed recall of congress, it could have happened.

“If the Republican Party passes this bill while a GOP president can still sign it and take partisan credit for it, they will have a very good chance of winning the Latino vote in the future”
And southern democrats vehemently opposed civil rights legislation. So what Dick. Your brand of political opportunism brought to fruition with your boy Bill has ruined this country. No one stands on principle anymore. All for the win. It is disgusting.
To: Bobkk47
Gee, I thought the Hispanic vote was illegal. I never in my life thought I would live to see the day that almost our entire body of elected officials as well as others were traitors.
