Agree with others who have posted here. The end of America is now complete. And anybody who thinks the November 2010 elections will offer an opportunity to change anything - get your heads out of the sand. Once they pass the Amnesty Bill - and they will - all of those illegals, and their vast numbers of relatives who will be allowed to walk into the USA anytime they want to. All of who will vote for Democrats ad infinitum. Forget it everybody. It’s is over. We now live in AMERIKA - on it’s way to a Banana Republic. Sad to say, but true.
I can't help but agree that our Republic is in extreme danger by virtue a potential amnesty bill.
The question is do we have enough numbers to change the paradigm come Nov 2010.
If we use the Presidential election as the base line, we would need to reverse about 7% of the electorate. The recent gubernatorial elections indicate that enough voters have become disenchanted with liberals to swing our way, about 14%.
Another question to ponder is what effect will the passage of the health-care bill have at the voting booth? I see two silver linings in the passage. First, seniors are already steamed, not a small constituency in number, but very large in its capacity to contribute. Secondly, when young people realize that it will be mandated as part of this bill that they purchase health insurance, and they realize they will be paying for oldsters, they will have a visceral reaction. This is no small cohort of voters either.
Our economy is creating a situation whereby thousands upon thousands of illegals have been going back home, and will continue to do so. Needless to say, far fewer are now coming here for the same reason. I believe this fact mitigates against any huge voting booth benefit, EVEN IF an immigration bill with amnesty and voting rights were to pass.
It's a close call. I believe we will vote these people out because people are tired of being duped, and tired of being ignored, so the emotion will be a factor also.
