Republicans get lessons on how not

It looks like the GOP leadership is staking its future on immigration reform. They’ve run the numbers and are convinced that America is trending towards a Democratic majority thanks to the Hispanic Diaspora. Ergo, they hope that by embracing “earned legal status” then they might soften their conservative image and steal enough votes from the Democrats to win the next election. But the Republican establishment has just one small problem: the Republican Party. Worried that congressional Republicans might muddy the GOP’s message with, well, racism, a lobby chaired by Jeb Bush has issued a guide to how to talk about

What part about ILLEGAL don´t these perfumed princess understand.
don´t care if you sneaked over the boarder yesterday or 20 years ago and have family, your still ILLEGAL and breaking the law. why is only in America we are suppose to bend over back wards for ILLEGALS and every other nation has strict laws which they do enforce, and very well I might add.
so sick and tired of congress, the supreme court and the president not obeying the constitution.

I think the GOP should get up in front of a crowd of folks in a foreign country trying desperately to come here legally and use the opportunity to put forward legislation to double legal immigration overnight. Then, the next day, same GOP member get in front of a bunch of screwed working class Americans and demand that this Adminstration start enforcing labor laws, immigration laws, and stop creating the black market labor force from Mexico which is destroying our American workers and sending them to Dear Leader´s food stamp rolls. There has been no real increase in wages in this country for the American worker in 30 years. These people vote, and many are socially conservative. They voted for Reagan in droves. Rubio and company will have a much better chance winning them over than illegal guests who have habitually broken US laws. And, no, we don´t need to round up illegals. We need to stop giving them government goodies and we need to start enforcing tax and labor laws EVEN against them. They will self deport if you cut off the gravy train. Mexico needs these folks more than we do. We need legal immigrants.

What looks like may happen if the Democrat lite Republican establishment does not come back to its senses, is that there will be an a very liberal amnesty for just about all the illegal aliens now in the USA, that will for the first time give them a special path to citizenship, after which the liberal Democrats and their political allies the many very liberal ethnic and immigrant rights groups will push for a streamlined process by which the legalized aliens will be given US citizenship and US voting rights.

Most legalized aliens will be poor, generally uneducated, low wage earners, with large families, who will need to access all the US social welfare and "free" health care programs to survive in high cost of living America. Since the liberal Democrats want to expand those social welfare programs and give the legalized aliens full access, while the Republicans want to seriously contract those programs and limit access, it is easy to see who the legalized aliens will be voting for in massive numbers.

The margin of Republican votes coming from Hispanics will probably increase from about 28% to about 33%, and the Democrats will pick up about ten million new voters to flip States like Arizona, Florida and Texas into the Democrat column sort of like California is today, after which the Republican (Stupid) Party will be consigned to the dust bins of history totally unable to ever again win national elections or control either house of Congress.

If America can´t fathom the difference between LEGAL immigration , which we need , and ILLEGAL immigration, which must end, we are so screwed.

Why is it that educated people w investment capital are kept OUT , while the undefended southern border allows millions of illegals to come in ? Amnesties have only resulted in millions MORE illegals coming here. We
Can´t even employ our own citizens so get rig ofn LLEGALS a nd hire legal folks. I had to prove citizenship to get a badly paid part time job soni can earn grocery $$$ and yet we can´t ask for same ID for
Voters? God save America ... It may already be too late. Ø And his one-worlders what countries without Borders where passports are meaningless. It is coming Faster than we think.

YUP - Sounds like a wonderful idea... get yet another Bush to learn them dang Republicans how to talk Democrat Lite.

Ain´t them Bushies done us enough damage in the last 25 years?

Yeah, I know they´s from Texas... but so´s longhorn droppins. Don´t mean a body has to be fond of either.

#5, good one! Ha ha!

Yep, Bushes are Limousine Liberals pretending they should lead the GOP,
apparently into perpetuity.

Actually, they will lead it into Hell.

So sorry Ronald Reagan ever took GHW Bush as his veep. Now we cannot get rid of them.
They coattail on Reagan whilst stabbing him in the back, policy-wise.
Snooty Ivy Leaguers, East Coast Elitists.

The Jebster is bloated, sloppy, got a Mexican wife, a drug felon daughter,
favors amnesty for the ILLEGALS who broke our laws to get here... need we say more?

Amnesty... Rubio... Jebster...
All three... DOA.
Got it?

Build a wall, use an electric fence, strafe the area, use our troops
for true national defense (rather than everywhere else in the world) by protecting
our own GAWD dang borders.

This is simple.
Our "leaders" are liars and traitors.
Screw ´em... !!!

Sadly, so many of the lost will still follow, blindly not knowing what to do or where to go; still sticking with the brand that they know although it represents none of their values, and hasn´t, really, for some time.

i usually agree with Stanley but not this time - people don´t actually pick parties based on feeling insulted, or not. The GOP has a history of being anti-Catholic yet the churchgoers are all flocking into it, because who cares what they think about me - they are pro-life. This isn´t picking a brand of butter. It would be actually "enough" to hear that the bigshots are telling the littleshots to shaddup with the bigoted remarks. That is a lot, actually, and if it is lively language and gets picked up and widely seen, that is not embarrassing - it is effective. There´s a reason Jeb Bush wins elections.

"lobby chaired by Jeb Bush has issued a guide to how to talk about .."

And I care about Jeb and his Mexican wife. Not. If the Bush family loves Mexico so much, why not move there ?

Woolwich attack: Cheers for our

Proudly marching through the streets of York with cheers ringing in their ears, the men and women of 2nd Signal Regiment--recently returned from Afghanistan--were greeted by thousands of people lining the streets to welcome them home. In the hours after the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby by alleged Islamist terrorists in Woolwich, south-east London, on Wednesday, the Ministry of Defence had advised servicemen and women not to go out in uniform--an order that was promptly ignored by soldiers who refused to be cowed and almost immediately rescinded. 300 members of the Armed Forces were cheered by well-wishers who waved

If an alleged Benghazi cover-up, the IRS tea-party scandal, and claims that his Justice Department is ignoring reporters´ First Amendment Rights weren´t already the stuff of headaches for President Barack Obama, now he´s facing a mini-scandal with the U.S. Marines. While boarding Marine One, the presidential helicopter, on Friday, Obama walked past a saluting Marine corporal and strode up the boarding stairs without returning the salute. The breach of military protocol--the president of the United States serves as the military commander-in-chief--did not go unnoticed by the press corps.

People taking statins face an increased risk of developing diabetes, warn researchers. They found a 10 percent extra risk linked to taking simvastatin--the most commonly prescribed anti-cholesterol drug--which rose to 22 percent for those taking atorvastatin. Previous research into a suspected link with statins found a 9 percent rise in the chance of patients developing diabetes, but the new study looked at specific brands of drug. [Snip] Researchers identified 471,250 patients with no history of diabetes and who were newly treated with a statin, just over half were women and all were at least 66 years old. Statin therapy

The September 11 attacks on America was by no means the first act of terrorism carried out in the name of Islam. The 1993 World Trade Center bombings killed six, while the 1998 US embassy bombings of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, left 223 people dead. However, the scale, horror and repercussions of 9/11--2,996 people dead, the World Trade Center destroyed and the Pentagon attacked--set it apart as a seminal moment that changed the course of history.

At one bar, a mixture that included rubbing alcohol and caramel coloring was sold as scotch. In another, premium liquor bottles were refilled with water--and apparently not even clean water at that. State officials provided those new details Thursday on raids they conducted a day earlier as part of a yearlong investigation dubbed Operation Swill. Twenty-nine New Jersey bars and restaurants, including 13 TGI Fridays, were accused of substituting cheap booze - or worse--for top-shelf brands while charging premium prices. State officials would not say what establishment used the rubbing alcohol or which one used dirty water, or

Attorney General Eric Holder personally signed off on the controversial search warrant that identified Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen as a ‘possible co-conspirator’ in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized seizure of his private emails, an unnamed law enforcement official has claimed. Rosen, who has not been charged in the case, was the target of a search warrant that enabled Justice Department investigators to secretly seize his private emails after an FBI agent said he had ‘asked, solicited and encouraged … (a source) to disclose sensitive United States internal documents and intelligence information.’ The reporter´s emails were

The far right English Defence League last night declared itself “at war” with extremist elements of the Islamic faith. Members have already clashed with police and attacked mosques following the Woolwich atrocity. But in a disturbing statement last night it vowed to campaign to “cut the cancer of Islamic extremism” from society. It said on its website: “The terrible events in Woolwich were a reminder of something very few are willing to accept: we are at war. We need to clamp down on extremist preachers and the mosques that continue to host them.”

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose
