Armey and Amnesty
National Review ^ | Thursday, March 25, 2010 | Mark Krikorian

Dick Armey's vocal support for amnesty is starting to cause him problems with the Tea Party folks. From Politico:

But the Armey attack that seems to be getting the most traction on the right is related to his stance on immigration reform, which many conservatives view as the next major front in their battle with the Obama administration, now that President Barack Obama has signed the healthcare overhaul bill.

The Tea Party people shouldn’t allow this old Beltway Republican within a thousand miles of their movement.

Dick Armey is an Open Borders/Pro-Illegal treason monkey. It would behoove all Tea Party members and groups to dis-associate with Armey and his wrongly-titled “Freedom Works”

The Tea Party movement would be drastically affected if it aligns itself with Open Borders/Pro-Illegal/Anti-American politicans. People will drop support of the Tea Party if they align with the Open Borders/Pro-Illegal/Anti-American crowd.

Then those 20 million will all be eligible for Obamacare.

You know what that is going to do for our medical systems and our financial outlook...?

Been saying this for months. The once organic tea party movement has been co-opted by the GOP establishment. RUN AWAY!

Amen! Armey is a traitor. His actions played a large part in helping the democrats win 2006 and Obama win 2008. He needs to be removed like a bad wart.

My concern is that now that many, if not most, of the Democrats up for election know they are going to lose, they do the Kamikaze thing and vote for Amnesty, Cap 'n Trade, and all the other left wing wet dreams - "Whaddya gonna do, fire me? I'm toast anyway, so nyah, nyah."

How to square the requirements of a necessary legal immigration standard with the changes of national demographics. Anybody who can think-tank a way to switch 20 million of these potential voters over to the GOP, or the party who shares their basic values (no they are not really 20 million commie libs embracing lefty social causes despite the few thousand Mex flag waving demsters trying to rep ‘em) wins the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip prize. By and large they really are us, they just haven’t had the right people on their side yet. No, I’m not for illegal immigration, but I’m not ignorant of their true conservative nature either. And yes, fluent english is an absolute empowering must in this country, and I’m sure they know that, too. Also, the silent majority of these folks would also make good solid patriotic Americans, too, once properly transitioned fully into the American system(yeah, that’s no simple trick). I don’t think it’s too late to turn it around. I hope I’m right.
