Ping!
Thanks for the PING!
"Also curiously, the Republican enthusiasm for increased immigration also was not so much about voting in the end, even with "converted" Latinos. Instead, these legislators seemingly believed that they could weaken the restraining and frustrating straightjacket devised by the Founding Fathers and abetted by American norms. In that idealized "new" United States, political uncertainty, demanding constituents, difficult elections, and accountability in general would "go away" after tinkering with the People, who have given lawmakers their privileges but who, like a Sword of Damocles, can also "unfairly" take them away. Hispanics would acquiesce and assist in the "natural progress" of these legislators to remain in power and increase the scope of that power. In this sense, Republicans and Democrats were similar."
So, as usual, when it comes to power, perks and privileges, there is little difference between the Rats and the Republicans. They want to replace the white American voter with a more servile, beholden class of ethnic voters. After all, us loyal Americans keep talking about that pesky Constitution.
There are a few, and only a few, of our politicians who deserve to escape the rope...
