Free Republic

This is an experiment to see how long it will take a freeper to mention illegals or immigration in a post that has nothing to do with illegals or immigration.

The election is over, and the Republicans lost. I did not think the electorate was this foolish, and expected a large turnout to help Republicans. For the first time in recent history, that was not true. Many of the previous base of the Republicans voted the other way. My hopes of even gaining seats were dashed.

The measure passed, however, when 24 Republicans joined with Democrats to overrule the will of the Republican majority. Only two Democrats voted against the amnesty. The measure effectively grants amnesty to every illegal alien in the country. Supporters claim that it would grant amnesty only to the large majority of immigration aliens -- those that have been here at least two years. In truth, however, it will grant amnesty to anyone...
