You're a LIAR! I never called anyone a racist or nazi or KKKer. Prove it or stop lying about me.
And I erased my profile for other reasons....not a thing to do with my moderate position on illegal immigration.
But congratulations to you and yours on getting this bill defeated. You now have guaranteed that a democratic president and congress will reap the Hispanic vote for at least a generation.
Great play, Shakepeare!
Look, I have heard this argument-Michale Medved believe this. However, I think Hispanics are a natural constituency of the Democrat Party. They come from a socialist country. Certainly socialism is more similar to the Dems than to the Repubs. We were never getting hispanic vote which is why the Dems were so anxious to get this bill through.
I heard the statistics about 2004 and 2006. However, they lump the Cuban-American vote in with hispanic vote-two different groups. The Cuban-Americans held a grudge for quite a while over the Gonzales situation- sending the child back to Cuba.
The Repubs pushing for this bill wanted slave labor (horrible motivation) and the Dems wanted the new voters.

Of course you did, you were called on it many times.
And calling yourself a moderate on illegals deserves a spot on the top-ten understatements of the year. You are known by your words and many of us will not forget yours or let you forget them.
Your assumption that the majority of legal Hispanics supported this bill and favor amnesty for illegal aliens is way off base. Do you personally know any legal Hispancs? (I'm quite sure you know plenty of the illegal variety). The former harbor quite a bit of (justifiable) resentment for those who continue to skirt the law while they and their law-abiding family members jumped through all the legal hoops to get here. And I'm quite sure it hasn't passed their notice that far more Democrat than Republican senators voted for this amnesty bill. They'll always remember the Donkeys as the party that favored law-breakers over the law-abiding.
So quite the opposite from your naive and emotional assertion, the Democrat party didn't win squat today.
"The piling on....calling the boss whenever things got nasty...to me that's what brownshirts are. SS stormtroopers...jackbooted thugs jumping in glee as more and more moderate conservatives were forced out of here."
That's just from a few minutes searching, a bit more would find the rest of your freepers as nazis posts.
