Delicious ! Just in time for Halloween some really scared Freepers
I hope this is OK to post - I don't go to Free Republic so I don't often get their
spin on things.
This guy must have been sitting at Lou Dobb's knee and forgot that we are all immigrants.

GOP'S VERY SURVIVAL AT STAKE
============================


The stakes of this election are incredibly high, not just for our candidate, John McCain, but for the very existence of the Republican Party.

Am I exaggerating the potential consequences of this election?

Decide for yourself. Consider that Barack Obama has called for the amnesty of all 12 million of the nation’s illegal aliens.

If he sweeps to power with a Democratic Congress, especially with a filibuster-proof Senate, he will be able to put into effect an ambitious liberal agenda — perhaps more bold than FDR’s New Deal and LBJ’s Great Society.

Obama has made his intentions clear, including his intention for amnesty and citizenship for undocumented aliens.

This year, he told the pro-immigrant group La Raza: “Yes, they broke the law. And we should not excuse that. We should require them to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for citizenship — behind those who came here legally. But we cannot — and should not — deport 12 million people.”

He added: “That's why we need to offer those who are willing to make amends a pathway to citizenship. That way, we can reconcile our values as both a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws.”

Democrats are anxious to give citizenship as quickly as they can to these illegals. They know these new voters will cast their ballots overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates.

The political balance between Democrats and Republicans has been quite delicate. We saw that in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.

In that last election, President Bush was popular, riding the coattails of a great economy and facing an unlikable liberal Democrat from Massachusetts. Still, Bush almost lost. Only 60,000 votes in Ohio separated John Kerry from the White House. The reason, I believe, was the country’s changing demographics.

For Republicans, changing demographics are worrisome. Minorities and immigrants like the idea of a big and benevolent government handing out benefits — the something-for-nothing boondoggles that the Democrats have reveled in since Franklin Roosevelt invented the concept.

If you give amnesty, which really means citizenship, to just 2 million or 3 million of the 12 million illegals here, the electoral map moves dramatically in favor of the Democratic Party. But there will be no reason why Obama and the Democrats won’t push for amnesty and citizenship for all 12 million.

How do I know? Well, he said so. So listen up, Republicans: You are in trouble if Obama is elected with a Democratic Congress.

Today, Texas is an anchor for the GOP nationally. But an Obama amnesty program will put that state solidly into the Democratic column. Florida and other smaller red states like Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico will become quite blue. Blue states, like California and New York, will get bluer.

The Obama amnesty program also will have grave consequences for Republican representation in the House and the Senate. With so many new immigrants swelling the voter rolls, Democrats could move into a position of not just having a majority in the House and a filibuster-proof Senate, but supermajorities in each.

Both houses of Congress could end up veto proof, if perchance, a Republican were to wiggle into the White House.

With such power and the ability to make even more new citizens and thus new Democratic voters, I wonder how the Republicans will gain a foothold again on the national stage.

Adding to this worry is that Democrats and Obama have openly talked about bringing about the Fairness Doctrine — a new law that will stifle talk radio, the mainstay of opposition media in the country.

No doubt the Democrats know that talk radio stopped Hillary Clinton’s agenda for nationalized healthcare during the '90s.

It is hard to believe the Obama campaign will not want to shut down, once and for all, the Democrats' chief critics.

1. We dont' want to shut down Dem critics, Mr. Ruddy ...
... we're not intolerant assclowns like Republicans are.

But now that you mention it, relocating you all to Neptune doesn't sound like a bad idea. :evilgrin:

2. Their own quotes of Obama's position refute their contention!
Freepers are so stupid they can't even tell when the "evidence" the cite proves their argument is false!

This is what they claim is Obama's scary plan to "quickly" give "amnesty" to all the "illegals:"

This year, he told the pro-immigrant group La Raza: “Yes, they broke the law. And we should not excuse that. We should require them to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for citizenship — behind those who came here legally. But we cannot — and should not — deport 12 million people.”

He added: “That's why we need to offer those who are willing to make amends a pathway to citizenship. That way, we can reconcile our values as both a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws.”

4. What scares me is that their heroes are
pumping them all full of shit and scaring them out of their wits. They act like their whole way of life is going to change if Obama wins. These people are really afraid. I keep thinking of the residents of Iwo Jima jumping off cliffs because the Japanese had told them U.S. soldiers would rape and murder them.

5. Wow. If you completely redefine the word "amnesty"
then you can make an argument like that.

6. New Deal
'If he sweeps to power with a Democratic Congress, especially with a filibuster-proof Senate, he will be able to put into effect an ambitious liberal agenda — perhaps more bold than FDR’s New Deal and LBJ’s Great Society.'

Hey Freepers, wasnt it the New Deal that got America back working again, it took a while, but finally we got out of the Republican Hoover depression....:woohoo: :hi:
