Democrats are so in for a fight next time around

We have our version of Steel for you to deal with. Not Remington Steele, but Michael Steele. He is running for the head of the RNC and will take away a card the Democrats have played once to often.

Hmmm... that was about as intelligent a response as I would expect from you Mink. Heck, you probably did not even read the article or even have a clue to who Michael Steele is.

I'll totally disregard Mink's non-answer, a trick she has perfected, and continue to develop this discussion.

A contributor to ChronWatch, a conservative website based in SF, explains why he feels Obama will be re-elected in 2012:

The coup de grace Obama will use against rightist opposition is mostly embodied in one word: Amnesty. This, along with some other measures, will both grow the Hispanic voting block and ingratiate Obama to it. This will enable him to create a powerful coalition of blacks, young voters, and Hispanics that, along with the older whites he will be able to retain, will constitute an insurmountable electoral force. And this is why amnesty has long been a dream of the Democrats. Even easier than brainwashing new voters (which the media and academia specialize in) is importing them.

The last time the left proposed amnesty for the 20-30 million (a realistic estimate) illegals in our nation, they were blocked by the Republicans. Now, however, with a president who will enjoy great popular and media support, more significant Democrat majorities in the Houses, and with sheer attrition-induced exhaustion in the opposition, I suspect that it will be impossible to forestall.

Remember when Dick Gephardt promised that the 1986 amnesty would be the last one we would need? If my memory is correct, illegal immigration has skyrocketed since then, landing us in the soup we're now in.

Before Saunterelle jumps on me with both boots, I have consistently said that I have no problem with legal immigrants who either come here to work or come here to assimilate into our culture. I do, however, have a big problem with illegal immigrants who remain outside the mainstream culture of America, but demand full rights and accessibility to services. Look at the Thomas Paine video I posted in the "Second Revolution" thread. The term "diversity" itself is devisive.

JGaffney, I agree with you about illegal immigration. I do not support amnesty like both candidates did. Actually, John McCain seems to have supported the idea MORE than Obama.
