LINDSEY GRAHAM: Republicans Are In A 'Demographic Death Spiral,'
Business Insider ^ | 06/16/2013 | Brett Logiurato

Posted on 06/16/2013 1:41:10 PM PDT by Carbonsteel

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is bullish about the chances of an immigration reform bill passing the Senate — and he says Republicans need to pass it to avoid falling further into a "demographic death spiral" that could hurt their chances in the next two big election cycles.

"If we don't pass immigration reform, if we don't get it off the table in a reasonable, practical way, it doesn't matter who you run in 2016," Graham said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.

It’s simple logic 101, but the GOP has ‘ruled’ on fear. As long as they could count on their lapdogs on the net to scream bloody murder about third parties and the evils of democrats, they kept the heat off their collaboration with the Dems and libs.

It was a pyramid scheme. Some of us woke up a while back after being guilty of participating ourselves. Many of those who had not saw that as a threat to the same old same old and fought tooth and nail to shut us up. Some still do. See my post history for the extremes they go to and tell me of those people are acting remotely conservative.

Because they were not just attacking me. They were/are attacking all conservatives Kapo style to keep everyone on the GOP reservation.

Republicans are in demographic trouble, says MiniMcCain, and his solution is to increase the demographic problem.

Exactly. But WHY are they doing this?

I've noticed...and I'm sure plenty of others have, as well.

One has taken to calling me a narcissist and says I do this to feed my ego.

I’d be more masochist than narcissist. Because there sure isn’t anything ego boosting about being screamed at and called everything in the book on a site with this many readers for fighting for conservative ideals.

He’s right in one respect: The eGOP thinks giving away our country to the Mexicans is going to keep them in power.

Good question.

Its hard to see how providing amnesty is going to make any difference since illegals are not eligible to vote in most states, unless there are massive numbers of illegals voting illegally which is voter fraud.

Everyone in the media and Washington deny voter fraud exists yet they acknowledge that illegal aliens who are ineligible to vote are a major voter block in recent elections.

Illegals voting are committing a felony and they still will not be legally eligible to vote after amnesty

Perhaps we need to prevent illegals from committing voter fraud instead of just giving in and giving them legal status so they can more easily commit voter fraud

Yup. I've been saying it for years now. The "moderates" are manipulative, lying, bottom feeding scum, who will happily hand a race to the democrats just so they can say "see we told you so".

Think of George Romney stomping off stage after losing the nomination to Goldwater only to go help the democrats. There is no purist purer than a "moderate".

And of course how Mitt played out the last election and after. Couldn’t even fight the accusation from his own kid he didn’t want to be president, much less Obama.

The GOP had catered to the Dems all the way. Made noise and voted with them more often than not. Bottom line.

If republicans would focus on making this nation a place where Americans can succeed, instead of trying to prostitute themselves to non-Americans, the rats would be in the death spiral. Ann Coulter is right - they are too stupid to even worry about.

I've lost ALL respect for all of them...when they turn on their own supporting Party they insult us all..

What makes you think the South Carolina liberals/GOP-E are gonna let the little people mess in their affairs.

They are already blitzing the old and new media with ads showing Limpsey as the most conservatist-conservative if there ever, ever was.

Big outside monies will attack any threat to Limpsey.

Stealth and tact must be employed if we are to retire Mr. Graham.

What was that song from our childhood? "I'm a hater, you're a hater, he's a hater too....."

That may not be the actual words...

Meh. At this point, I think we can just stand back and thumb-flick matchsticks (remember that?) at the GOP-E bozos that are busy bathing in gasoline.

Ya know? Them boys ain't real bright.

Lindsey has done as much as anyone to steal the civil rights from American citizens.
