$400 million of redistributed income... no wonder they're pissed.

Well, the Republican Party has (should have) made a decision what they want to do. What is it? First indications should be apparent this week.

So if upper crust Republicans they want some input on Latino issues, they should go to Latinos who they know personally. Now that Mitt can go back to hiring illegals again, I'm sure that he will be able to figure out with their help that supporting the bipartisan Dream Act instead of running away from it in the primaries would have been a big help.

Forget the Dream Act, as it appears Dream Act hater Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.),will be chairman of the House Judiciary Committee with primary jurisdiction on immigration matters.

From The Economist of 10 Nov 2012:
Quote:
Will the party be a conservative party? Or a party of wacko extremists? Starting this week, we discover if the party's intelligent leaders get promoted. Or if Limbaugh brainwashing, Cantor naysaying, and Tea Party ignorance continues to declare all others as evil. Smart extremists only create one bogeyman. Wacko extremist Republicans cannot find enough bogeymen. Unfortunately, the vote also shows how many are so easily brainwash by rhetoric not supported by any facts, numbers, or intelligent thought. Even the Dream act is somehow evil. No wonder an old guard of racists line the ranks of current Republicans. Jesse Helms and Trent Lott would heartily welcome these extremists Republicans to every Strom Thurmond birthday party. |

I'd have thought you could get a better quote than that from someone called Steve LaTourette...

I think the Republican Party should go into comedy - the birther movement, Donald Trump's many appearances as Republican mascot, Karl Rove's election night emmy award winning performance, Grover Norquist calling Romney a "poopy head," and now I hear that Republican dominated Texas wants to leave the Union and get its Lone Star status back - you can't make stuff like that up. They're naturals!

Individuals in 18 states have already filed for succession. It obviously won't go through but funny in a sad sad sort of way.

Let's not get confused about this, Texans are ALWAYS entertaining the notion of independence. Take a look at my location--that's always been that way.
Part of the reason, to be honest, is we actually have the means to do it. It's just cute talk unless you can back it up.

We can expect 50. Canada looked pretty good during the W debacle lottsa folks here threatened it. This was SOP in America until Lincoln killed 620,000 of us to make a point.
