“Ebola killed amnesty, at least for this year.”
Actually Cantor’s defeat in June killed Amnesty for the year. As Rush correctly points out, the Democrats will not push ahead on Amnesty without a significant number of Republican suckers - I mean supporters. And watching Cantor get his butt handed to him scared the DAYLIGHTS out of rank-and-file Republicans who had Karl Rove dollar signs in their eyes...if they would just vote the ‘right way’ on this one issue.
But Ebola may well kill Amnesty for at least next year...and maybe (hopefully) forever.
Great point about Cantor. His primary defeat in Virginia scared the hell out of the GOPe. I’m sure they were regrouping for another try at it, but the Ebola breakout in Dallas ended that. Maybe now the American people will wake up to the folly of unguarded borders. I have friends who had no problem with amnesty but the minute Ebola struck here they were singing a different tune and now they’re mad that we let Mr. Duncan into the country. I guess the thought of illegal aliens carrying killer diseases into the country changed their minds.
