“It has nothing to do with that. It’s electorial math. The Dems cannot get reelected with their base gone.”
That’s why their going to rush through legalizing all the illegal immigrants in time for them to influence the election. They will also have the get out to vote in the poorer areas telling people to vote democrat if they want free healthcare. Their base will be there no matter what. They are not going to vote Republican. They will probably tell them that they can add everything they want into healthcare reform when they have a larger liberal majority.
That’s right the base will not vote GOP but they will stay home.
“That’s why their going to rush through legalizing all the illegal immigrants in time for them to influence the election.”
If they started a program tomorrow to legalize immigrants they still wouldn’t have enough through the process by next November. The gov’t runs slower than molasses, and getting those people into the system and registered just won’t happen.
At some point a few of the Dems will realize they have been backed into a corner and that there is no way they can recover from a shellacking next year unless they cut Reid and Pelosi loose.
I’m just not sure that enough of them will come to their senses in time.
