All I can say is remember how we stopped the immigration bill last year dead in it’s tracks. The DC GOP establishment shuddered at the outcry and quickly changed their tune. Do you think you’ll have that same power with Hillary as president?

We stopped shamnesty with W in the WH. He was all for shoving amnesty down our throats just as much as Hillary will be. It was those Republicans in Congress that voted against it. The WH occupant had nothing to do with it.

BTW - with Hillary, the Rs will have a backbone and oppose liberal legislation. What we'll get with McCain is exactly what we got with W - the lemming parade.

I agree, and with McCain we’d have shamnesty passed before summer of 2009. The Senate wanted to pass it this past summer, but enough were backed off by the outcry that it failed. But with the co-sponsor of McCain/Kennedy in the WH, and few if any congressmen or senators having been defeated because of their votes on shamnesty, then they’d have no fear about ignoring any voter protest next year, no matter now loud or how many called.

For twenty or more years, voters have opposed illegal immigration and even legal immigration as much as they do now, but not enough ever make it a vote deciding issue. Seems, after all the uproar, that’s still the case. If so, we can forget winning any more battles in the near future.
