“Instead of stating the case against continuation of an absurd immigration policy; you and others on this thread have elected to insult the motives, intelligence & integrity of a popular Senator, In doing so, you have not even bothered to discuss his argument—which I will certainly acknowledge is flawed.”
What’s to discuss? I consider his argument to be lies, and his true motivations to be hidden over so much fluff.
Amnesty for illegals is going to destroy this country, and I say this as a Hispanic whose family came over from Mexico the right way. The last thing you want is a legion of people who don’t respect American law, who have no skills and no fear of the U.S., gaining citizenship and the right to vote. It’s basically like putting the gun to our collective head and pulling the trigger. Meanwhile, these freaks and fools think that by doing this, they are going to get the illegal alien and hispanic vote, since they don’t actually blame their lack of principles of their loss to Obama, but their inability to out-pander Obama for minority votes.
The whole exercise, therefore, is sick and flawed. It’s a sickness in the brain that these people simply can’t realize that it is their lack of integrity and strength that causes them to lose against the left.
“This approach is completely self-defeating. By it, you will turn off people who are not as aware of the case against “liberal” immigration policy, by offending their sense of fairness. You make them far less likely to listen to you, or your thinking, on any issue.”
We already tried the panzy approach with Mittens. His fake-tan and his flip flops didn’t win anybody over.
Look: Everyone does not see what you see. Everyone reading these comments is not necessarily on our side. Even many on our side, are far more apt to reject your argument, if you make it more about personalities than the actual underlying issues.
You may enjoy venting, or at least feel that it helps you deal with bitter subjects. But for the very reasons you mention, we are in a desperate fight to reach as many people as possible. Leave the personal insults out of it, for people generally on our side, and continue to argue for what you believe is right.
