Stymied? Republicans seek immigration response

"We're working with our members, looking at the options that are available to us, but I will say to you: The House will, in fact, act," House Speaker John Boehner declared at a news conference the day after Obama unveiled his landmark policy.

But apparently the one thing the morons will not do is bring the senate bill to a vote in the House. Poor John Boner....doesn't know what the fuck to do.

What did you guys think of Obama's immigration speech yesterday? I wish he would have given more information about what his executive order proposes to do. I feel like he like he is still a watered down disappointment of the president I voted for back in 2008. I wish we could get one president that doesn't make me want to beat my head against a brick wall for one reason or another.

MINI2016 I would vote for him!

Anyways...what did you guys think of the speech?

The guy you voted for in 2008 gave good speeches offering vague promises of change without much real information. Why are you disappointed now that he's still doing the same?

They don't want amnesty in large part because if these immigrants would be allowed to vote, they would remember the party who tried so hard to destroy their families, their livelihood and spit upon their language and culture. Black people don't, in general, vote for the party that largely thinks of them, treats them, and on occasion openly refers to them as a race of lazy welfare queens and thugs.

The Republicans completely miscalculated around about 1968 or so, when under RMH they decided to conflate the disparate terms white, loyal, law-abiding, and conservative. They drove away many undecided centrists, over the next twenty or thirty years, by their exclusionary and dichotomous rhetoric.

They won the election that year, to be sure; but they hitched their horse to a falling star. The nation is becoming more multicultural, less religious, and more skeptical of authority, and they've tied themselves to the anchor.

Pardon all the mixed metaphors, my fingers are running ahead of my brain right now.
