Ayatollah and Wettibe, yes you are right that there is a lot to comment on right now. I don't know why I got all caught up in that nothing blog that I posted about.

I guess I'm getting all caught up in how Benedict Rubio is willing to sell the country, and "Conservatives" are willing to follow because Rubio is the salesman of the amnesty.

Honestly it's so frustrating to see Republicans following Rubio, like he is some sort of saint. I liked him a lot in 2010, but now we're seeing his true self and finding out that he is just as awful as George Bush.

I'm always being reminded how Americans get caught up in certain personalities and ignore the facts of what that person or politician does.

Example: Rubio is currently peddling the same amnesty that Bush and McCain and Kennedy tried to pass in 2006-2007 with just a slightly lengthier time before they can vote Democrat, and the people on that blog were willing to go along with Rubio, just because Rubio had been branded as some sort of "true" conservative.

It's such an eye opener to see so many Republicans so eager to wave the white flag of surrender, just because their naive, don't want their "Saint Rubio", desainted. Or maybe they are just tired of the fight.

Right now we've got Rubio, Sean Hannity, Peggy Noonan, Paul Ryan, and John Boehner all coming out in favor of amnesty. To hell with them all, but it's still a shocker to many to see such an about face and with such little to gain.

I know many here will say; "we told you so", but we're the educated minority in regards to immigration and amnesty. We've seen the up's and downs in this battle and know who is not really on our side.

It's going to be a real upset for many Republicans when we have to desaint their saint Rubio, and they realize that he's really a Benedict Rubio.

The Republican party has been taken in from the recent electoral loss and is succumbing to the open borders squeaky wheel.

I believe that right up to the election the polls indicated that most people who are pigeon holed as "Latinos" were primarily concerned about the economy - just like everyone else. Immigration issues were more than one or two notches down.

Obama was reelected because of:

Nasty Republican infighting, they largely did the Democrat's campaign work for them

Being suckered into playing the game with Democrat cards

The sheer number of people who are benefitting from government the way it is now: nearly 50% of Americans pay no taxes at all and I believe about the same number recieve some sort of benefit from government programs, not counting those who are or are hoping to recieve some sort of civil service retirements.
