Obviously no issue is completely self contained and impacts others. Illegals' impact on these more important issues is not that great. However, making Illegals the only thing that matters is just a means of destroying the GOP.
There are not 20 millions here in any case.
Those among the GOP who voted the "wrong" way are not insane because they don't fall over backwards at the antics of the Hysterical. Besides from any observation of events many millions more support the Illegals than don't. Where are the marches or other visible evidence the anti-Illegal side is so popular?
"Where are the marches or other visible evidence the anti-Illegal side is so popular?"
The people that might be attending those marches are currently at work, paying their taxes, and taking care of their kids.
All those marches did was point up the severity of the problem. It also points up how completely idiotic they are, waving MEXICAN flags - criminals demanding equal rights.
Its testament to how politically deaf the GOP actually is - Can you imagine the issue ads you can make with all those morons marching, chanting 'Si Se Puedo', and claiming three US states as rightful Mexican homeland?
Its precisely that ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY - on display and MARCHING IN BROAD DAYLIGHT IN FRONT OF VIDEO CAMERAS - that the GOP pillories every election, and it gets middle class taxpayers who may in many cases be more socially liberal to pull the level for the republican.
Maybe your right, they aren't insane. Maybe just blind and deaf?
