Oh yeah, tomnbeverly reminded me: "...someone who GRANTED, I will type it again for possible penetration GRANTED, AMNESTY TO 3 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS"
Ronald Wilson Reagan would've lost to Barry Hussein in a landslide in 2008.
The Reagan Democrats have been replaced by Katrina and Detroit union saps. The social conservatives would reject him on abortions, border conservatives would punish him for amnesty, etc etc. The press would play him as an incurious oaf, but Olberman and Jon stewart types would rip into his good humour demeanor. He'd get destroyed today.
Good response.
Reagen started this and kept going on the illegal immigration. Bush tried a way to deal with this, and BTW, tried to keep the Hispanic vote with the republicans. Of course, the whiners would rather have us lose that vote than even try to deal with the illegals in some way.
It never ceases to amaze me that so few one-issue conservatives ever consider that, over the past 7 years, they COULD have been complaining that President Bush let them down by allowing Islamist fascists to overrun our country, rather than having the luxury to complain about their favorite, pet-peeve issues.
