Clinton's Toe Sucker: GOP Should Back Immigration Compromise
DickMorris.com ^ | May 21, 2007 | Dick Morris

Posted on 05/21/2007 4:23:39 PM PDT by Signalman

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 party’s expected share as a direct result of Goldwater’s 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.

Sorry, I meant 2008, although if the constitution allowed recall of congress, it could have happened. If the D's and the R's continue down this road, the Congress may have to be recalled, the Constitution notwithstanding. Scary isn't it?

Sorry, the focal point should not be whether the Republican part lives or dies. It should be whether this country lives or dies.

Also, tell them we know where our social security money is going and it’s not to the rightful beneficiaries.

This is absolute loser thinking and the GOP are @$$h01e$ for buying into it.

"Gee, these guys are gonna bring 12 million democrat voters into the country plus all their family members, so we better help them do it so they'll be nice to us when they take over America."

It's an utter disgrace and it shows how absolutely cowardly and craven and defeated the Republicans in congress and the white house have become.

He didn’t change the title. He added a BARF ALERT.

Exactly right.

Mr. Morris believes the GOP will lose the Hispanic vote if they don't pass this legislation.

And what if it's true? Are you prepared for that? We've been saying this could happen if illegal immigration weren't stopped. It wasn't stopped. Now we may have this precise situation as he describes it.

What do you do then?

I wish I had a feeling I could really trust Morris.

Either he really HAS turned 180 degrees — or he’s a trojan/disinformation specialist for the DNC.

And on this issue at least, he is certainly morally wrong.

Almost every time, ever time I can remember, at least, and I haven’t been paying as much attention over the last year, but every prediction I can ever remember Morris making has been wrong.

He’s like the anti-Nostradamus.

Morris is a village idiot.
He thinks the GOP should allow 20 million new Dems voters so they don’t lose as bad as they would if the ignore the illegals? He is truly brilliant. I often wonder if he really is a Clinton plant. His advice is that BAD.

Sorry....
Little Dick Morris has missed this one...

Real Americans have been rudely awakened by this impending horrific debacle...

The GOP will lose if they DON'T slam-dunk this mess...

The Latino vote will remain low income. Morris doesn't believe otherwise. Hispanics have high illegitimacy rates. Low income and single mother voters of all races tend to vote Democrat. Does Morris think that Hispanics, if you control for income and marital status, will under any circumstances have a greater tendency to vote for the GOP than whites?

He has no basis for thinking this. He is just shilling for the open border lobby.

This Hispanic does.

Take this to its logical conclusion - If the only way to woo Hispanics is to support virtually unlimited immigration then we have no borders. They only make up 6-8% of the voters now, will we get border control when they are 15-20%?

BTW, the only reason Hispanics support immigration is because they are racists.

I wonder if he underestimated the backlash of indignation the amnesty bill would invoke, and then got angry at “the Republican base” because they didn’t do what he expected.
