Imagine if you will that the election of 2006 had gone the opposite way.
Illegal Immigration
I’ve argued extensively about this issue so I’m not going to go into the reasons why the closing of the borders is a bad idea. In fact, there’s a big part of me that secretly KNOWS that arguing the point shouldn’t be necessary. Most people know that Mexicans pose very little threat to our national security and that the lost of 10% of our work force in taxes and cheap labor would cripple our economy.
Liberals may live in lala land where all they have to do is agree to give peace a chance and it will magically happen; but most conservatives know that every action has consequences and nothing is free—not even speech.
If the GOP had retained its majority, they would have had to do something about the illegals. Bush and the GOP would be stuck between small business who depend on cheap labor and the fanatics that have bought the idea that kicking out 10 million tax paying illegals won’t effect our economy in the least.
The War
Thru out Bush’s presidency, he’s been fighting BOTH the Dems in Congress and the media and the RINOs who is gearing up for their own run at the White House and the RINO press who thinks it’s their god-given right to tell him how to run this country.
NOW, with the lost of the majority, the two sides can go back to fighting each other.
In fact, has anyone notice how many pundits are saying how much easier Bush has it now that his party is no longer the majority?
Bush was already having difficulty getting support for the war; a GOP Congress bullied by the RINO press and their extreme minions would have focused on the illegal issue instead of the one issue that unites most Americans and trumps all others.
The Courts
Are we GLAD that the GOP never used the nuclear option? If we’re not now, we certainly will be if a Liberal wins the White House in 2008.
Again, if the GOP had retained Congress, Bush would STILL be fighting BOTH the Left and the Right…the latter led by the same people who ran Miers out of town.
Really, do we want a White House run by has been lawyers turned talk show host?
***
The GOP welcomed many different types of “conservatives” under their tent and went on to win. Only some of those “guests” had more in common with their judgmental liberal counterparts than the more laid back and extremely busy Republicans.
It was time for them to go home. The only way that was going to happen was if there was nothing left for them to chew on.
I think Karl Rove finally turned off the lights….dinner is now at the Dems’ place.
Let the ungrateful and churlish Libertarians/ Reaganites/ Buchananites/anything but Republicans 3rd party wannabes go there and tear THAT house apart.
The GOP will pick up the pieces…with a little help from the Independents.
After all, despite everything, we’ve STILL got a war to fight—and win
