The absolutists are killing the GOP, and no issue may be doing it more than this one. They're making it incredibly easy for the Dems to just point at them and say, "hey, look at THAT!"
If the party were not so full of itself, it would see that it could easily attract more Hispanics if it were not so bull-headed on this one topic.
How about a guest worker program for those who are here, but them at the back of the immigration line, and let's all get the fuck on with our lives?
Is the GOP that set on continuing to shoot itself in the foot?

Uh, I don't know if you've noticed, but anyone who tries to tackle immigration ends up destroying themselves. The Dems want it as a perpetual wedge-issue like abortion is. They don't want a problem they themselves caused to be solved.
Sure, I can see that, but the Republicans would look like the adult in the room if they came out with a clear alternative that actually fixed problems. Let the Dems do whatever the hell they want.
Holy crap, that phrase "clear alternative that actually fixed problems". Reminds me of Obamacare. Instead of creating a clear plan and holding it up every time they're interviewed, they're allowing themselves to be portrayed as Neanderthals.
Goddamn, it's just sitting right there, waiting for you. Stop just saying "no", make a plan, and scream about it at the top of your freaking lungs.

You mean like they did when they presented their plan for Healthcare?
But the repubs must have been whispering instead of shouting because I never did hear their health plan. But I sure wish they had come up with one.
