Well there seems to be a lot of propaganda currently flying around, coming primarily from a couple of member of that stellar little group referred to as the "Gang of Eight". And the point of it all is, or near as I can figure, is to serve as at least an attempt at scare tactics. It seems that they wish to warn Republicans that any hopes they may have of reclaiming the White House, come 2016, could very well hinge on whether they choose to support, or to sabotage, the immigration overhaul currently being debated in the Senate. Even if such a theory is correct, is it sufficient cause for us to simply forfeit on our principles. Personally I think it's all just a crock of shit!
First up we have Lindsey Graham, RINO-S.C., a rather unique little fella who hasn't made a lick of sense, on nearly any issue, since first being elected. We heard him this past Sunday chastise those conservatives who are trying to block the measure, going to far as to claim that they will doom the party and all but guarantee a Democrat will remain in the White House after 2016's election. Then we had Robert Menendez, yet another rather kinky Democrat who has a bizarre penchant for underage hookers, who took things a step further and actually predicted "there'll never be a road to the White House for the Republican Party" if immigration overhaul fails to pass.
So the Senate is now moving forward with a supposed overhaul and appears to be on track to have a vote from the full Senate by July 4. And rumor has that it has more then enough votes for passage, which could be as many as 70 votes in favor of the legislation. A timeline for a House proposal is less certain, although leaders say they are working on plans that more closely follow conservatives' wish list. Lawmakers from both parties voted to begin formal debate on a proposal that would give an estimated 11 million immigrants now in the U.S. illegally what is claimed to be a long and difficult path to citizenship, but is really anything but.
Meanwhile, one of the proposal's authors, who is himself considering a White House run in 2016, refused again to pledge support for the measure without changes conservatives have demanded. "I think 95, 96 percent of the bill is in perfect shape and ready to go. But there are elements that need to be improved," said RINO Marco Rubio. I think it very safe to say that Rubio has every intention of supporting this thing no matter what, and any claims otherwise are nothing more than political bullshit. He's either extremely naïve, or incredibly stupid, if he thinks that anyone out here is buying his crap. As the saying goes, fool me one shame on me, fool me twice…..
Rubio is doing his best in an attempt to balance concerns from his party's conservative flank, which has great sway in picking a nominee, with the political attempt to win over Hispanic and Asian-American voters who overwhelmingly favored Barry "Almighty's" re-election in 2012. Further complicating Rubio's presidential aspirations, the Republican-led House hews toward tea partyers. Personally speaking I think Rubio has already shot himself in the foot as far as his presidential aspirations. I voted for Rubio for senator and feel that all I got for my trouble was a knife in the back, I might as well have voted for Crist. And I know there are others who think like me.
Graham made the claim, "After eight years of President Obama's economic policies, and, quite frankly, foreign policy, people are going to be looking around." This moron went on to say, "But if we don't pass immigration reform, if we don't get it off the table in a reasonable, practical way, it doesn't matter who you run in 2016. We're in a demographic death spiral as a party and the only way we can get back in good graces with the Hispanic community, in my view, is pass comprehensive immigration reform. If you don't do that, it really doesn't matter who we run." The political insight of this boob leave much to be desired. The Republicans must stand for America, someone has to.
In 2012, Barry won re-election with the backing of 71 percent of Hispanic voters and 73 percent of Asian voters. A thwarted immigration overhaul could again send those voting blocs to Democrats' side. That has led some Republican lawmakers to support immigration reform, but the party's conservative base still opposes any legislation that would create a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living here illegally. Just once I wish there were enough folks on our side who actually possess a spine. Standing up against that which you know is wrong regardless of the political consequences takes true courage, and that's what's lacking on our side.
Democrats are well aware of the numbers. "I would tell my Republican colleagues, both in the House and the Senate, that the road to the White House comes through a road with a pathway to legalization," Menendez said. "Without it, there'll never be a road to the White House for the Republican Party." But you see, I think to say such a thing is to assume that Hispanics and Asians, deep down, don't want a better life for their children. What the GOP needs to focus on is the rolling over on immigration reform, but in convincing all minorities that government incapable of providing that better future to their children.
Look, if these idiot Hispanic and Asian voters want nothing more than to doom their future generations to a life in poverty, then let them go ahead and vote for all the Democrats that they want. If they're not smart enough to recognize the consequences of being so foolish and how it accomplishes nothing more than the electing of even more corrupt Democrats, then, I suppose, we're screwed anyway. And if they are truly unable to see how the Democrats simply lie to them just to gain their vote, then they're too stupid to be on our side anyway. Why should we give up on our principles for no other reason than to hope enough of these people will vote for Republicans?
