Bingo. They really do believe that they OWN our votes. There is no shortage of footsoldiers out and about -- even here -- taunting, "You gonna elect Hillary?" any time anyone even talks about holding their feet to the fire.
And just yesterday, Arlen Lord Specter came right out and said that they were going to give us two weeks to "cool off" and then jam this sucker right down our throats.
There is a LOT of money that has spoken -- there are VERY powerful interestes who will NOT settle for anything less than the full treatment, and they have NO intention of backing down.
And, thanks to OUR past performance -- our willingness to take an incredible amount of abuse, and then, on election day, hold our noses and vote "R" -- they are confident that they CAN do anything they want. Our mere votes are -- to their way of thinking -- the least of their problems.
I am not optimistic at this point. I really do believe tht the fix is in. I think that we stand about as much chance as Terri Schindler did. Like her, we'll get lots of hand-wringing, lots of "attention", lots of "effort" -- but in the end, she died, didn't she. And in the end, we are gonna have a hundred million Mexican "citizens" taking over our country.
But, the guys calling the shots will make out OK. The employers will have their cheap labor, the politicians will have all those new voters to pander to -- by throwing OUR money at them -- and it'll be business as usual, except for Spanish being the predominant language in our third-world nation.
If you want real change, everyone who is organizing these counter-rallies is going about it all wrong. Someone should organize a few thousand Americans to penetrate the sovereign border of Mexico. Then the media can get a good close look at the reaction of the Mexican government....Then no matter Congress does will pale in comparison and be more palatable....
