Like I said, the GOP immigration policy depressed the base and hurt everyone. It just hit the House more because everyone was up for re-election. If the everyone in the Senate was up for re-election then the GOP would have lost a lot more seats than they have.
We tried to warn the GOP that the immigration marches in the spring would depress the base and it did.
Again, a falling tide lowers all boats. The house just got hit the hardest because all of them were up for re-election.
Would someone tell me what the GOP immigration policy is. For 6 years this president did nothing to limit illegal immigration and campaigned for amnesty. I have not the slightest idea what the republican immigration policy is except one big contradiction.
Like you always say.
Get over it.
You have no idea what you are talking about in regards to mid-term elections.
I bet you the post analysis , will say that immigration hurt republicans because it depressed the hispanic vote. that will be the spin, heck they may pass ammnesty in the lame duck session. Also, agree with others that Indy's must have sunk us, if the talk of record GOP turn out holds true.
Frankly, I'm absolutely disgusted that the lack of a fence which has never before existed in our history (what are the odds of it becoming a reality under a dem controlled congress) is more important than the young men and women fighting in Iraq. Regardless of how "wide open" our borders are we have yet to be attacked here at home since 911, yet everyday our soldiers face bullets and bombs on our behalf. They have yet to lose even ONE battle in Iraq, but like their fathers before them who fought in Vietnam, with this election we may have condemned them to coming home feeling defeated because they left a job half done. Next thing you know Jon Carry will be bloviating about spending New Years in a Swift Boat over the Iranian border. And 2 years from now when the 2008 elections roll around we still won't have a fence, God knows what the situation in Iraq (or Afghanistan for that matter) will be, but the democrats will have become more entrenched. As the mother of one son who just left the service last year and one just beginning his, I can't begin to tell you the fear in my heart for my child. Evidently the right throws a tantrum every bit as well as the left.
