That said, I believe that the Establishment Reps now have the upper hand and will push immigration reform, read amnesty, in the mistaken view that it will get the subject off the table and gain Hispanic votes. They are wrong on both counts. This country is finished once the amnesty is passed. Just the talk of an amnesty will cause a flood of more illegals to take advantage of it--the same thing that happened in 1986. Only this time the numbers are much bigger.
Many of us said that this country would not survive the reelection of Obama. This was not a matter of hyperbole. I have not changed my view. The changes under Obama during the next 4 years will be impossible to undo, including the implementation of Obamacare, an amnesty, and the appointment of one or two Supreme Court justices.
You and I agree on immigration reform. This is so foolish. The establiahment repub’s will destroy the party. They don’t mean to, but they do not understand what is happening, even on this one basic issue.
Ryan is now part of the problem. Now, I think the guy means well and isn’t just about protecting his own power, but he, along with too many of them, need to learn how to debate, how to negotiate, but first and foremost, need to undertand the “root causes” of their loss. IT IS because of the takers vs. makers. It IS because we have a lot of stupid people in this country. It IS about the culture (whether it’s education, family life, etc.), etc, etc, etc,
Amnesty will only increase the “takers”, open up a group to legally taking more “goodies”, and do nothing to help reelect Repub’s (unless they promise more goodies).
I like Ryan, but he needs to wake-up.
Ah hell Larri...I missed one.
So sue me.
