Bloody fight with Teaparty over Immigration, seals GOP demise

GOP Civil War Over Immigration Reform Intensifies

In a New York Times column entreating House Republicans to "Pass the Bill!" David Brooks hit back at conservatives urging Republicans to obstruct all efforts against a comprehensive immigration bill. In the column, Brooks dismantled their arguments against reform, writing that not passing a comprehensive bill "could be a tragedy for the country and political suicide for Republicans, especially because the conservative arguments against the comprehensive approach are not compelling."

He concluded:

Whether this bill passes or not, this country is heading toward a multiethnic future. Republicans can either shape that future in a conservative direction or, as I've tried to argue, they can become the receding roar of a white America that is never coming back.

That's what's at stake.

What good are Republicans if they vote like Democrats?

 

[deltex1]

We are looking for a bill that works...wtf does comprehensive mean?? Obabblecare was "comprehensive" wtf good did that do?

 

[Redfish]

The republicans should reject any bill that does not seal the border FIRST.

the democrats and rinos are proven liars, make them put it in the bill or tell them to fuck off.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Recall McCain

 

[Vox]

Bullshit.

Media Matters.

 

[National Socialist]

So its either fight for the republican party and possibly let it die or allow democrats to pass amnesty which just gives 12 million new democrat voters! Brilliant.

 

[AVG-JOE]

Hey now!

Gerrymandering can only take an ideology so far. At some point, rich white folk are going to have to start reproducing like Catholics if trickle-down economics is to be saved!

 

[AVG-JOE]

If the republican party wants to be more relevant with America it needs to change the fucking message.

Move on from trickle-down and all the bull shit social concerns and I'll look right again.

 

[Stephanie]

Indeed.

This is the fundamental failing of reactionaryism, as practiced by the GOP and conservatives: America is changing, a multiethnic and diverse future is coming, and nothing can be done to stop it.

Of course, there’s no logical, objective, sensible reason to want to stop it, as diversity makes America strong.

But the essence of reactionaryism is fear, and conservatives need to either face that fear and overcome it or be swept aside as an irrelevant anachronism.

 

[PredFan]

Complete garbage.

The reason that the conservatives are losing is because the lazy and ignorant now outnumber the smart and productive. It's that simple.
