Let the democrats pass a bad illegal immigrant amnesty bill — the majority opposes it, and will run them out of office.
However, the democrats don’t support this bill either. The liberal interest groups noted that they expect 35 democrats, and 25 republicans, for the bill. Thats 70% of the democrats, and 55% of the republicans. We won’t be able to blame THAT on the democrats.
Yes, we should have tried harder to get what we wanted last year, when we had the majority in the house. Yes, it was the rabid anti-illegal closed-border anti-trade republicans who stopped us from a rational compromise.
But that doesn’t mean we should buy into the crap we are getting now.
Charles, if you go and argue for a good bill and argue vigorously, that’s great. That’s not what happened and the point is whether we get a do over.
I don’t think that we do.
