Gutierrez: GOP will never win another national election if it doesn’t support immigration reform

Red Alert Politics ^ | 10/14/13 | Kelsey Osterman

[jimbo123]

If Republicans don’t join together with Democrats to pass comprehensive immigration reform, “they will never win another national election,” according to Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.).

-snip-

Gutierrez is an outspoken progressive, but he has still made somewhat unlikely alliances with Republicans in order to push immigration reform. In 2012, the Illinois Democrat praised the immigration reform strategy presented by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), someone he had previously called an “extremist.” Gutierrez also partnered with Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) earlier this year, participating in a pair of immigration reform events in Chicago.

So-o-o-o-o.....let me see if I understand this....Gutierrez, a DemocRAT, WANTS Republicans to win elections in the future?

Does not compute.

[skeeter]

If this disgusting slug said it then you can be sure the exact opposite is the truth.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Well then, I guess we’ll just have to move to the states that will be seceding.

The national electoral success of the GOP party in and of itself isn’t a worthwhile goal absent decent policies—except as a career vehicle for GOP-branded politicians.

[chicagolady]

I am a Hispanic, a LAW ABIDING one. BITE ME LUIS!

[Flintlock]

Illinois Dhimmocrat tells GOP how to increase its influence and gain control of our national politics FOREVER!!!

......huh?

This concern that lib Dems have that the GOP will lose elections to them is very moving.

[ChildOfThe60s]

BS.

Although I’ve no doubt that the GOPe believes him, and his (ha ha) sincere concern/hope that the GOP win more national elections.

BITE ME LUIS!

Got your Rabies vaccine?

[jsanders2001]

And the GOP will NEVER EVER win another election if they allow reform because it will bring more Democrats than ever before across te border

Classic draw play by the Left. We see right through it.

If Republicans “join together with the Democrats” to create 40+ million new Democrat voters, then why would anyone bother voting Republican ever again?

There really would be no difference between the 2 parties.

[Cboldt]

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Meh. I don't care. None of the weasels in the federal government is looking out for anything more than their own power and glory.

[NYRepublican72]

So Republicans win by allowing immigrants to become citizens so that they vote Democrat?

Sounds like your typical Rat with a math deficiency.

[jboot]

So says a filthy prog. Of course he says that. It means nothing.

RE :”If Republicans “join together with the Democrats” to create 40+ million new Democrat voters, then why would anyone bother voting Republican ever again?”

Cant argue there, I havent changed my tagline on that on months

[Irenic]

He is a crook.

[Freestate316]

Exactly. Open borders and amnesty would make Texas and Florida blue states. The combination of California, New York, Illinois, Texas, and Florida would create a huge uphill electoral challenge for Republicans. Republicans need to wise up and realize that the millions whose immigration they facilitate will not be voting for them. Heck, the way they are going, I wonder how much longer I can!

[AD from SpringBay]

Nor will the GOP win another national election if it does support immigration reform.

[GeronL]

If they pass “immigration reform”, I will never vote for a Republican again.

[Freestate316]

Support abortion

[WashingtonSource]

Wel,l Allrighty then! The Almighty Communist Gutierrez has spoken. That’s the end of the story. /sarcasm

[Texas Eagle]

Ahhhhhh......so you think Gutierrez is engaging in a little subterfuge, eh? A little reverse psychology?

Trying to trick Republicans into supporting immigration reform so they WON'T ever win another election?

Ha haaaaa!!!

Joke's on you, Gutierrez! Repubicans aren't THAT stu.......uhhhh.......wait.........crap.

[Lazamataz]

He's half-right. Republicans will never win another national election.

Period.

[Hoodat]

But that’s just it. Republicans do support immigration reform. Because by today’s standard, actually securing the border, suspending all ‘free stuff’ payments to illegals, and penalizing businesses who hire illegal workers would be a reform.

[jsanders2001]

The GOP needs to learn to think about what the outcome of their decsions are before being tricked or goaded into them to do exactly what the Left wants them to do. Stop being shamed and offended by what they say and be cunning like a fox not stupid like an old ox...

[Tupelo]

Luis Gutierrez is dead on right, but NOT because of illegal immigration. But because of the irreparable split of the Tea Party Republicans and the Obama Republicans. Right now the House Republicans seems to be about a 65-70 percent Tea Party and the Senate Republicans about 30 percent.
To me that means, the the House stays Republican for at least 4 years, the Senate probably stays Democrat for at least six more years. And the White Hut will remain Democrat for at least three more terms.
I seriously doubt I will live long enough to see another Republican President.
But if we make a break before 2016, I just MIGHT live long enough to see a Tea Party President.

[refermech]

The demo vote buying scheme has been perfected so you are probably right however, it may be more important to control the legislature and I think that is doable.

[PapaBear3625]

What he really means is, as it becomes clear that it’s stupid for any white person to vote Democrat, unless the illegal aliens are turned into voters the DEMOCRATS will never win another national election.

[jsanders2001]

> Joke’s on you, Gutierrez! Repubicans aren’t THAT stu.......uhhhh.......wait.........crap.

Unfortunately the ‘old guard’ has been proven to be incredibly stupid, often arrogant, and too compacent mired down in the mud by their own fat. We need to infuse some younger, smarter, and cunning constitutionlist patriots into the party. I’ve seen them. There are some young intelligent patriots brewing out there. I’ve met quite a few and they are being groomed for the job as we speak. Hopefully they will hatch soon...; )

[Da Coyote]

The lede is almost correct.

Change “doesn’t” to “does” and it’ll be fine.

[pallis]

The illegals around here don’t want amnesty, if it means having to get on Obamacare. They say they’d rather go home where failed government healthcare comes without all the BS and hassles.

[Above My Pay Grade]

The GOP will never win another election if it allows 10 million plus illegal criminal aliens to become lega Democrat voters.

[jagusafr]

Gee, thanks for the save, Gutierrez! Whew...

/sarc

[Bryan24]

What a coincidence. If the GOP DOES support immigration reform, they will never win another election.

[Louis Foxwell]

Br’er rabbit?
That’s racist.
I adore Uncle Remus.

[chicagolady]

LOL!! Rabies is not the worst past of Luis.

The word Castration comes to mind.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[Regulator]

hispanic culture is all about ultimatums and threats; that’s all this is, a cheap threat from a Third World thug.

[ZULU]

It never will if it does.

[HiJinx]

Third World thug? Pretty good. I like to think of him as that race pimp from Illinois.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I fear Greeks even when they (say they) bear gifts

[cripplecreek]

They are desperate to get away from the Obamacare/debt crisis and move on to the next. I say we keep the tar baby tied around their neck and let them ride it into the ground.

[HiJinx]

I had that same/similar thought earlier today - Obama feels he has won this budget fight and is moving on to his next win. Man’s delusional...

[Altura Ct.]

Illinois Democrat praised the immigration reform strategy presented by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), someone he had previously called an “extremist.” Gutierrez also partnered with Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) earlier this year, participating in a pair of immigration reform events in Chicago.

And that is what is called a red flag.

[cripplecreek]

The GOP must not let Obama keep setting the agenda (Choose his crisis). Its what he’s done from day one and it has to stop.

[grania]

hmmmm...just a few months ago the 'pubs were saying they needed a larger percentage of the hispanic vote. With Cruz and Rubio, they've got the Cuban vote along with other hard working, established hispanics and Puerto Ricans who just want to be able to run a small business and live a decent, honest life.

So what do the RINOs want to do now? Legalize the invaders, who mostly aren't that vote that supports conservative ideals. Besides being saboteurs, traitors and campaign liars, the RINOs don't even make any sense anymore.

Methinks Guerterriz protests because he knows damn well Cruz can easily be elected if the RINOs would slither into oblivion.

[glennaro]

With the RINO Party's complete capitulation on kenyancare and considering the conservative base is abandoning the RINO Party ahead of the mid-term elections, it's quite clear that the Democrat Socialist Party understands they can get whatever they want whenever they want it.

With this total victory they are now confident -- emboldened, really -- that there is nothing that will stop them from imposing their utopian vision of the socialist state ... not the American people (either informed or ignorant), not the Constitution (and its limits on government power), and certainly not the unbroken string of failures of socialist governments and policies throughout recorded history.

[cardinal4]

Yep, right on cue. The ink isn't even dry on the budget deal and the next step of De-Americanizing America is implemented.

One thing you can say about the Democrats; they always work from the same page and rarely venture off the reservation..

[Amagi]

The rabid commie is so incredibly clever is advising Republicans to expand the Democrat electorate numbers so Repubs can win more elections.
Brilliant.
