Democrats created the polarization and dysfunction.
They are like the mothers we read about who kill their own children then expect sympathy because they are grieving mothers who just lost their babies.
I agree with this much, we have to change the dynamics. End the fraud. No illegals voting.
This was the Obama/Romney 2012 map.
As anyone can see, Liberal Communism spreads like a cancer, and you can see why the Democrats want illegals to flood the United States.
pushed the White House to float the possibility of taking unilateral action to create a path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants
Its is not the President position to write law. That is the Legislations duty. The American citizens DO NOT WANT “immigration reform” they want our Immigration laws used and enforced and then we would not have this situaion.
But Barack Obama will still be president and will still have the legitimacy of a presidential election
Obamas legitimacy was wiped out in this election. The Democrats that lost did so aided by Obamas failed policy’s and lack of leadership. The American public overwhelming stated they are done with Obama in this election.......
Now they’re “unauthorized”?
Gee, that sounds much better than “undocumented”.
“...That began with President Obama. From the moment he entered office, House and Senate Republicans mobilized against his administration, denying votes to all administration initiatives and forcing the Senate into a super-majoritarian institution through use of the filibuster. Legislation couldnt passand nominees couldnt win confirmationwithout 60 votes, an unprecedented turn in American governance...”
That statement does to show how ignorant the author is.
I was going to write a point by point refutation of this piece, but I could not get through it. Every single paragraph is riddled with untruths, half truths, illogical conclusions, claptrap, nonsense, and ridiculous conclusions.
The writer, Jamelle Bouie, looks like he is about 18. Obviously he is not actually reasoning things out in his mind before he writes down his "thoughts".
“Whose authority is more legitimate?”
To ask that question is to essentially show your ignorance on the constitution. 3 EQUAL branches of government. Liberals don’t take defeat well eh?
The convoluted logic is stunning.
by “unauthorized” they mean illegal criminals.
He expresses surprise that (some) republicans refuse to compromise on spending vs tax cuts. He observes that older republicans hate all deals. It’s called ideological principles. I find it sad he doesn’t even begin to understand the concept.
President Ebola got 51.01% of the popular vote and 61.7% of the electoral college in 2012. Any way you slice it, the Republicans got more of a mandate from the total vote percentages (about 53%) versus Democrats, and a 57% majority in the House and 52% (for now until the runoff in LA and one other state I think) in the Senate. These liberals just throw out misleading lies and hope they stick.
“change the dynamics”
CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE...
How about we do things the way they were designed to be done!
You can KEEP THE CHANGE SALON!
A voting holiday? Because having a whole month to vote is not enough for the donkeys.
“And the president is committed to preventing an insurance death spiral or broken exchanges that could result from a full attack on the law. Whose authority is more legitimate?....”
Uh, the Congress that gets elected to WRITE laws the President is supposed to ENFORCE.
It is true Obama energized the youth vote... he also was young and new. If the left’s only hope is Hillary... she does nothing to excite young voters. 2016 may well be another adult voting cycle, just as 2014 was.
Unless... our nominee is actually someone who appeals to younger voters.
