Limbaugh finally comes out against amnesty. This is big news. Rubio’s goose is cooked.

Bookmarking for 4 years down the road when some Rush basher claims that Rush never criticized the GOP for their support of amnesty.

The question is why so many of our political elites ready to send the whole country and everybody else to hell? They know the result of this amnesty..30 million more poorly educated immigrants. They know it will cost a fortune and reduce wages of the struggling working middle class. They know our schools will be over run.
Is it time yet?

Government is now for Government. The public is is not their concern. Their concern is what Government can do only for them! Dole out a few cookies and keep the populas happy.
The average citizen need not have dreams and aspirations!
No one needs to excell, no one deserves to be wealthy, No one needs more than what Government can dole out to it’s citizens.
See ya in the food line soon!

Because the eGOP and the DNC are one in the same. They call each other “friend” and negotiate our rights away one by one. The eGOP takes on then the DNC takes one. It’s all the same power grab.

Of course they know. They also know that impoverished countries have very long-lived rulers who have unlimited power.

The end game is near. They need to have control of everything, they need to impoverish the country, they need to inflate the currency by a lot and they will be in power forever. The ruling elite will be entrenched.

Isn’t this what seems to happen in third world countries?

What else could they do when this country is so far in debt?

Republicans supporting legislation that not only is bad for America but is bad for republicans too?

That is not something new.

They have been doing this as long as I can remember and probably long before that.

The also seem to have difficulty seeing past next week when evaluating the consequences of legislation. Or maybe they don’t even try.

Much of America’s troubles (and the fortunes of the republican party) can be traced to the horrible Immigration Act of 1965, written by democrat congressman Emanuel Celler, sponsored in the senate by democrat Philip Hart, and vigorously supported by democrats, notably Ted Kennedy.

If you read the history and content of the bill you will see that it was essentially just another part of the LBJ era ‘feel good’ civil rights legislation that democrats pursued with the intent of gaining favor with minorities and turning them into a reliable democrat voting bloc.

Even though it was a democrat bill that heavily favored the fortunes of democrats, republicans supported it at a higher level than did democrats with 85% of Republicans voting for passage of the bill versus 74% of Democrats.

In the house 117 Republicans voted yes, 10 no, and 11 abstained.In total,

In the senate Republicans supported the bill with 24 voting yes, 3 voted no, and 1 abstained.

A third party has already formed... it just isn’t designated YET..

Republicans have always more or less loyal.. so they wait for a change..
Well it isn’t going to change.. republican elite ARE democrat-lite.. always were..
and have a lock on party mechanics..

Easy to take a democrat out of the party..
BUT its damn hard to remove the democrat from the democrat..
Democrats are just dumb or stupid or traitors or parasites.. or a mix..

Democrats can change parties like changing their hair color..
ANY republican may not really BE A REPUBLICAN..
Many democrats are in fact Communists.. or Socialists..
WHich is effect is the same thing.. the terms are merely “diversions”..

You can quote me; “Any republican not NOW ready to leave the party IS A DEMOCRAT”..
NOW... not after the next election .... NOW..

The GOP has always been that way — that’s why it is known as the Stupid Party.

But lately I have come to the conclusion that we have but one party — the Demopublicans.

They’ve lost me. I will only vote for a Christian conservative from now on, regardless of party affiliation. If there are none in the race I’ll stay home and bitterly cling to stuff.

First of all, understand that “democracy” is an evil from the pits of Hell, and that our Founders were terribly afraid that we would arrive at the place where we are now. OK, they were right, and we have arrived.

THEREFORE: Whoever controls the mob controls the State. The members of the House and the Senate are, for the most part, enemies of the People and of the Constitution. Of the People, because the People love God and love Liberty, and the Members for the most part hate both. Of the Constitution, because it limits their power in a way that democracy would not do. They are busy importing a new People who do not love Liberty, but until their New Majority is in place, they have to conceal what they are doing with a charade of “Republicans” and “Democrats”. For the most part, they are the same, and rule in coalition.

The ruling coalition is united around several things that the people are against. They are skilled at setting up phony issues (or issues that don’t concern the Federal government) to break up the formation of any possible other coalition.

Republicans and Democrats agree that the purpose of the State is redistribution. How much, and to whom, and under what circumstances, there are disagreements. But no elected officials of either Party believe that it is wrong to take from you and give to another of their own choosing, for reasons that make sense to them.

Republicans and Democrats agree that you have “rights” - lots of them. They also agree that any question ABOUT your “rights”, or whether or not something IS a “right”, should not be decided by a political process because that is “divisive”. So, they both agree that the voice of “the People” as contemplated in Articles IX and X can only be voiced by nine unelected life tenure judges, and that five of them, at any time or for any reason, can give new “rights” and take away old ones, particularly if those old ones arise out of majority voting.

Republicans and Democrats all believe in “diversity”. They, ignoring completely the results of all social science research on this subject, and contrary to millennia of human experience and wisdom, believe that the more “diverse” our country, its institutions, and any private entities within her become, the more cohesive and productive we will become.

Republicans and Democrats almost all believe in “free trade” and “immigration”. These things are good for various constituencies of both parties while they wreck the economy and the nation.

Many of the People, perhaps a majority, do not believe in any of these things. But in our existing system, captive as it is to the MSM-mandated “process” for choosing two candidates for POTUS neither of whom will change a thing, leaves the People with no voice.

The Tea Party election of 2010 was not, contrary to all appearances, a Republican victory. The Republicans in Congress were more terrified by it than the Democrats were. The Republicans in Congress know in their bones that Tea Party thinking a) can capture the mob, and b) can upend or destroy all of the ruling coalition principles above.

So many here still are beguiled by the Republican illusion. They keep posting that, if the Republicans retake the Senate, Obama could be impeached.

Do you think that the Republicans in Congress would do anything to cause Obama to be removed? Are you out of your mind?

Right now, the biggest enemy of a political (peaceful) solution to the American crisis is the Republican Party, and the sooner it is destroyed the sooner a pro-American political movement can move to take power.

Reagan brought these people TO the republican party.

Don't forget that in the 60s and 70s democrats were the ones with the huge split of liberals versus "backy-chewing, Christian, pro-life rubes".

Reagan never made fun of religious people, he WELCOMED them.

He always said that it doesn't mean I've signed on to their beliefs, they've signed on to mine.

That's the key. Religious people should always feel "welcome" in the republican party.

And the blatant hostility of liberals toward God by the dems should be blasted 24/7.

If they want to be the all atheist, all-gay, all-transgendered, pro-molestation party, let them.

They might as well, they are dead anyway.

The only problem is the RINOS,, who refuse to report to the morgue for burial preps.
