Breitbart ^ | April 14, 2014 | By Tony Lee

The top Democrat who is leading the effort to help the party elect more members to Congress said he cares more about amnesty than the midterm elections.

Appearing on CNN's State of the Union with Candy Crowley on Sunday, Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY), the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said the midterm elections are taking a backseat to the amnesty legislation Democrats and establishment Republicans desperately want.

"We'd rather pass an immigration bill than worry about the election.

The Obama administration, from its first conception, has been planned as an effort to implement as much of the Marxist program as possible as quickly as possible. They understand there will be a backlash but they know from past experience with Wilson, FDR, Johnson that even during a backlash the GOP never really roll back anything. The Left fully expect to step back into power after a few out years and find almost all of their machinery still fully in place, ready to be employed to further advance us towards their concept of totalitarian perfection.

Who cares about the ballot box? Too many people here are putting stock into the Republicans thinking that they’re going to come to their senses. Screw the mid-terms and the 2016 horse race. Start making plans. NOW
