Even if this guy is right about why the Republicans lost, he’s still wrong. He’s thinking like a ‘Rat, who thinks everything is about holding onto power in Washington. These types think it is OK to sell out their constituents and the entire rest of the country in order to hold onto their seats.

Keep your side civil, and maybe I won’t feel so uncharitable over this disagreement.

I'm sure this opinion is mission-critical to Mark and the show.

If you struggle, it's only going to hurt more...

Civil. He wants civil discourse, does he?

Well now. Let’s examine where civil discourse has brought us to, regarding ILLEGAL immigration.

It’s brought us years of broken promises, laws deliberately not upheld and thousands of people illegally crossing our borders. This- in a post 9/11 world is appalling, and decidedly uncivilized.

Civil discourse is a good way to discuss ideas as you lead up to conclusions, compromises and debates. It’s wise to do this well in advance of an attempt to cram a piece of legislation down the halls of congress, that’s been drawn up in secret with a handful of senators who are hoping to bypass full hearings.

So. I submit if we’d stayed civil these last 5 days, we might well be watching the Senate vote on the bill itself before Memorial Day.

Instead... We’ve hollered and cursed and shouted and yelled. We’ve been...”uncivil” to our opponents.

Thank God.

After a hard line was taken on immigration by House Republicans, we lost the House, largely due to independent voters, moderates, and Hispanics not voting for Republican candidates.

I am tired of hearing this argument from open borders "Republicans." If the only way to make sure Hispanics vote Republican (as they never have heretofore) is to bend and break our immigration laws for them, how come blacks don't vote Republican? Didn't a Republican Administration free the slaves? If giving a voting bloc freedom to obey the law is no guarantee of political support, how can giving another voting bloc freedom to ignore the law guarantee support? How can a breach of faith with America's citizens be the basis for a relationship of trust and support with non-citizens?

They didn't lose because they took a tough stance on the border, they lost because they took a too-little, too-late position on everything--including the border! They lost because they governed as Democrat-lite! They lost because their base didn't see any difference in their choices.

Note to GOP candidates: When you get elected to do something... DO IT!

Damn skippy!

what a fool. If he had any ah, gumption, yeah, gumption, he’d call Mark’s show and try throwing that at the fan.

Good luck with that.

Thanks for the ping. jmryle will be hosting this evening. He may be interested.

What a load of bilge. You want to know why the GOP lost last November, you panty-waist?

I think they lost because of the so-called "new tone."

Fundamentally, I agree. If you won't challenge your opposition and stand up for your own agenda... no one will.

It’s being called a Quisling.

That is an insult to Quisling. Quisling probably wouldn't have cooperated with the Nazis if he believed their goal was the exterminate the Norwegian people and culture. That IS the goal of the open borders crowd.

People who want to erase the national borders are traitors, period.

Know-nothings, restrictionists, isolationists, Nazis, racists and xenophobes are just a few of the charming names thrown about by the open borders crowd.

Wow, he quotes and admires Blofeld. A fictional character.

Good grief. Barf is right.

Mark does not support anyone who is “pro-illegal.” At all.

This guy used to be one of FR's token liberals.

Appropriate. Since he's dead wrong. Again.
