I hate to say it, but a Democrat would never have tried to get this Amnesty bill through...they would never commit political suicide for anything. They might want to do it, but they wouldn’t
The Republicans have contempt for their base. I think they believe we will vote for them because there is no one else to vote for. The Repubs think we are stupid, and we will forget. in a year or two. They are so wrong.
Many Republican leaders have contempt for their base, and it’s an important point to make. But many don’t have such contempt. They agree with us and fight for us. Let’s be fair.
Also, I don’t like the reference to “the Republicans.” That would include just about everyone on FReep. Don’t let the tuned-out party elite define the party, and don’t punish all, or most, Republican officeholders just because of some jerks in the White House, in the Senate, and at the RNC.
