I’m not convinced the repubs are going to go after amnesty this year in full force. Yer right about it being a bit stupid, why not wait and see if the senate becomes Repub, maybe the presidency? Why do this NOW and alienate the hell out of your base.
As I figure, the Republican party gets big bucks from businesses of various sorts. They like the cheap labor coming in from Mexico and for the right bucks, the pubs are going to push it. But the pubs know, don’t think they do not, that their base is adamantly against any kind of amnesty, we were for amnesty once before, we were promised it would never happen again, the borders would be secured.
This didn’t happen and now twenty plus years later why should we believe them?
Amnesty is an issue that will drive the masses to the streets, you just watch.
Pubs got to make up their minds, money from those who benefit from cheap labor or votes from those who elect them.
I double dare them and still think it won’t happen. Already Boehner’s waffling.
So your saying this coward of a speaker who won’t stand up to Obama walking all over him is also a coward when we get pissed at him? Delicious! Keep it up, folks!
We’ll have him on Maxi-Wash high spin before it’s all over. Maybe a Speaker so afraid to do anything due to the political disadvantages is the best thing to happen to us all? No new laws this way!
If we can get a united front here and on talk radio and possibly FNC we just might get the RNC/GOP to do the right thing and not do any immigration bill before 2014 elections. After that we need to demand border security first as Hannity has been screaming bout forever.
Fortunately for us strong border security will kill any immigration bill since that's how the DNC gets it's new voters now.
