Um, yeah, that explain our majorities in the US congress and in states across the nation...
On the immigration bit, didn't you just tell me this:
Thanks for the elaboration, I appreciate it. I think Hunter CAN win over the middle with hisimmigration and anti-fleecetrading policies, which are hot button items across the board with middle class republicans and democrats. It doesn’t even need to be a hard sell, he just needs the exposure.
Now you tell me this:
***I am not viewing it through that prism all the time, merely most of the time; though I acknowledge that I have a conservative viewpoint and most of America does, too. Here’s a post from the Intrade thread that explains better than I’ve seen elsewhere why immigration isn’t playing so well in middle America. It is natural for a freeper to discuss candidates and issues from the perspective of what is important to him. That’s just human nature.
I'll save the rest for space sake...
But which is it, is middle America "hot" on immigration or is it not playing well vs. other issues that hunter stresses less often, such as the War and the Economy?Seems a bit contradictory.
Of course according to you I am sure there is someway it's not...

***Good question. I thought immigration was a big hot-button issue based upon the shamnesty plan and the reaction it stirred. But this poll contradicts that, so what I think is that immigration is an issue that is becoming complicated like a third rail in politics, and it can kill a candidacy but it cannot make a candidacy. Mainstream America views it as a checklist item but I see it as a deep social problem that needed to be solved long ago. So I guess the way to sum it up is that it is a hot-button issue for the right and even much of the left, but it isn’t as important as the economy[stupid] and Jobs to mainstream america. That poll is the only evidence I have seen that it is not as big of a hot-button issue as would appear from the level of activity against shamnesty, but it sorta makes sense. I wish it were a big hot-button issue for the republican party, but this party is split hard on that issue. I have posted on many threads that we should be using RICO lawsuits to sue employers who hire illegal aliens. We can do something about this.
