"DC CAN'T GOVERN THE COUNTRY"
Was the title of today's headlines. You would think with the Dems holding BOTH the House and the Senate that this accusation would be leveled at them. On closer look, the story was about the WH and the GOP minority unable to get an illegal immigration reform bill passed.
Today on Michael Medved's show, Senator Kyl announced that all the groups that had been so oppose to the bill are now ringing his phone off the hook...it has FINALLY dawned on them that if we don't do something about illegal immigration now...in 19 months if the Dems control BOTH Congress and the WH, these groups will get zip. So NOW, they want to compromise...NOW they are ready to deal.
Kyl has agreed to try again...he hasn't said whether his colleagues are going to go along with him and give the "base" another chance to stone them. Obviously Kyl has great faith in the "base"...not so sure about the rest of the GOP minority--and fair minded people would have to agree that they can hardly be blamed for it.
Ex-lawyer turned talk show hosts are celebrating about "people power" and continue the lies about the "majority" of Americans agreeing with them on this issue...but they don't explain why if illegal immigration is such a big deal, why Mr. "No Amnesty" Tancredo is at the bottom of the polls or why the top two candidates both believe in a guest worker program...and more telling...that "I'll get saved" Queen Hil and "I found God in a Miner's village Edwards aren't demanding the deportation of 12 million illegal in the same breath of wanting to end "George's war".
Meanwhile, the MSM will tell the public that if the GOP and Bush cannot solve the illegal issue at home...how can they be expected to bring our troops home and restore America's respect?
Mere months from now...while we watch the first woman take the WH, and her Congress gets ready to pass a bill that we REALLY will hate...we can look back at this moment in time...
And kick ourselves in the a$$.
