Karl Rove was on Fox attempting to explain away the latest GOP loses. Sad Sad Sad. Rove is probably the worst thing that ever happened to the GOP.

he has a lot of cya to do. he would never let tancredo into the whitehouse or anywhere near the bushes.

but the bushes had had their own family reasons for selling out the country on boundary issues.

It would also prevent any unit of government from verifying status of renters, determining eligibility for receipt of benefits, enrollment in school, obtaining a business or other license, or conducting a background check.

This preemption, buried deep in the text of the bill, would kill all the laws recently enacted by long-suffering states and localities in response to the federal governments unwillingness to enforce its own federal laws on immigration.

How bad is it when even the democrats are making the GOP look worse on illegal immigration? Fortunately NEVA probably won't be going anywhere but someone better tell Johnson that with bills like his neither will the Republicans chances of ever getting back the House.

I faintly recall a clause in the Constitution reserving certain rights to the States and undelegated rights to the Citizens.

And an oath to protect the Constitution.

[SwinneySwitch]

The US Constitution

Article 4.

Section 4

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature
cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Constitución de los Estados Unidos de América

Articulo 4

Sección 4

Los Estados Unidos garantizarán a todo Estado comprendido en esta Unión una forma republicana de gobierno y protegerán a cada uno en contra de invasiones, así como contra los disturbios internos, cuando lo soliciten la legislatura o el ejecutivo (en caso de que no fuese posible reunir a la legislatura).

Dumb f---s don't seem to remember they need to get the guns first.

They're working on that.

Yes they are working on that, but there is one good thing The Grand Betrayers did for us last spring and summer.

They showed us beyond any doubt that they are willing, even eager, to destroy the sovereignty of our country and sell every one of us and our children down the river for cheap labor, a destroyed middle class, and a huge new pool of uneducated voters.

IOW an oligarchy where they and their class reign supreme and the rest of us become serfs. They don't care about party. This election is proof of that. There is only one party--the political class party. The rest is window dressing. (There are about 5-8 senators and quite a few more house members who are exceptions and who basically saved us long enough to get our phone army in gear last year.)

Remember my "good" senator Kyl with an ACU somewhere in the high 90s voted for amnesty and also against the amendment that would have stopped known gang members and known criminals from becoming citizens. That amendment was DEFEATED including the votes of 9 or 10 Republicans. This defeat was a WIN for senators who wanted known criminals and gang members to become citizens.

What do you suppose they wanted with a bunch of brand new gang member, criminal citizens? (Including the horrendous MS-13 many of whom BTW have military training.) I suspect it was to be an army of enforcers who WOULD take our guns if our fine young military men and women refused.

Anyway, bottom line: we know we can never trust them ever again. Even if they choreograph some hideous shooting atrocity and use that as an excuse to take the guns.

It has occurred to me that they might like to have some physical rebellions spring up (especially if they're not well organized and therefore easily defeated). That in itself would provide an excuse. Hell, if we don't take the bait, maybe they'd stage a few incidents like Hitler did to justify his invasion of Poland.

and the word is getting out...getting a lot of feedback....

THIS is the WORST attack on us yet when they move to usurp our pwers to protect oursleves at a local level— Drastically UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!

In my humble opinion the time has come for a convoy of PO’d Americans to descend on Washington with pitchforks and torches!
