All the staunch border enforcement Republicans lost. And the issue has never polled above 10% of concerns for Americans.

Did you forget a sarcasm tag? You can't be serious. Why keep spreading such blatant lies? WHY? Every poll, and you've seen them disputes your assertion

Of the Republicans who lost in this election: only 6.7% of those losing were anti-immigration (in Tancredo's caucus)

34.9 % of those who lost, however, were pro-Amnesty and supported Bush's pro-Amnesty plan.

We have some very important information for you below. There is a ton of misinformation in the media, both by liberals (e.g. Pelosi) and neocons (e.g. Bill Kristol, Linda Chavez). They are being dishonest about the election and immigration. Every single exit poll shows that voters voted against Republicans in this election because (1) the war in Iraq (2) corruption and (3) (in some states) free trade

It had nothing to do with immigration. In fact, if the GOP had been more anti-immigration and did not have a President who cares more about amnesty than hard-working Americans, the GOP would have done better.

You didn't read the link I provided up thread did you?

And your reading comprehension isn't terribly good either. What I've said, and every poll has borne it out, is that when confronted with a list of national concerns like the war, the economy, etc., immigration places no higher than #5 on the list with a maximum of 11%.

If you can find a poll that says higher, post it here. But you can't.

Now, when asked how many people think immigration is a concern, a huge percentage naturally agrees that it is. But it's not not among the top 3 or 4 concerns that Americans have. That's just the way it is but I won't expect an apology from you so I'll just return the favor. You must be deliberately misrepresenting what I've posted here and i'll say this about you - if you have to lie to try and make a point, you must not have a very good point.
