It is possible that the Democrats might lose more votes from black laborers and blue-collar union members than they would gain from the Mexican immigrants who undercut them in the job market.
I'm sure they're crunching the numbers.
You think 86% are totally against their base?
Liberals/Democrats are playing a game of good cop - bad cop, letting the Republicans ( Bush) be the bad cop and them pretending to be the good cop . Liberals/Democrats are multicultarists, they are economic socialists and so favor importing a poverty class, and they know they will get 200 million new democrat voters (20 million illegals and their family members they bring from the 3rd world) if this Amnesty bill passes. The media reporters are the most rabid, fanatical of liberals. That's the reason liberals go into journalism, to change the world to conform to their agenda of socialism, multiculturalism ( cultural Marxism).
I don't see a huge backlash against the 86% of the Democrat senators who voted for Amnesty from Democrat voters like I see from Republican voters against Bush.
So we've come to the point where conservatives are bashing The GOP and praising liberal reporters for wanting to do what's right for America? The day I see a a liberal do that is when pigs fly.
Also after Amnesty those 20 million illegals will join unions.
Unions are for this Amnesty bill and so are a coalition of hundreds of liberal groups which lobbied congress ,including "LA Raza" which had veto power over ammendments and many of these lobbyists sat in on meetings to craft this bill.
Corporations don't want Amnesty. then they will have to pay taxes on these employees and pay them higher wages.
So up is down here. We have everyone blaming the GOP and corporations for this Amnesty bill while giving unions and Democrats a pass.Sure Bush is wrong but he is not the whole GOP. Right now they are bribing and threatening the Republican Senators who voted to kill this bill to change their vote. I doubt they will vote to kill the bill again since all they got was bashing for doing the right thing last week and killing the bill (86% of Republican senators voted to kill the bill)
