Rubio's immigration push a potential lift for GOP - Page 2

And everyone keep in mind.....this is just one article.....it would be a different story if every article that comes up for the DA are all negative.

Well considering the fact that every article that asks a democratic legislator's opinion has always been negative so far.

We don't even know the opinion of the GOP yet, which I imagine will be horrendous.

All of them so far are negative though And if you just look at the political landscape it just cannot happen. You have election year+crazy tea partiers+ Republican moderates against this bill+ Democrats who refuse to let it pass+ a horrible economic climate+ a wave of national xenophobia+ a chance that SB 1070 gets upheld in the supreme court. This is not the year for immigration reform. It's not being negative, it's called not letting our hopes and energies going towards a lost bill just meant to hype up Rubio's career and the chances of a political party that clearly does not welcome us into American life.

I think this now hypothetical bill has a good chance to pass. I do not know why, but I have a good feeling about Rubio's idea. If it comes to the senate floor, Democrats will not oppose it in the end, it would be hypocrisy at the highest level. They know it would have devastating concequences. Think about it, if Democrats bring the bill down, the Repubs will then use it as a political tool and all of the sudden, they are the ones that gain immigrant support (Not all of us are Hispanics). Right now it is all talk, but Democrats are going to have to support it. If it does not pass, it will be because of lack of leadership among Republicans. Now, lets remember that Republicans are very good at coming together in situations with the possibility of screwing up Democrats . They often overlook their close minded ideologies to accomplish such thing.

Hahahahaha.

so what youre saying is our best chances rely on the fact that democrats have no balls and cave iuto republican demands often? lol might be crazy enough to work.

Dems had their chance. We've been waiting long enough.

If Dems votes nay on Republican DA simply because it was introduced by Republican, you do realize that their rhetoric about how DA is bipartisan effort is a lie and Dems don't give a f**k about us?

If you really don't think that political affiliations influence your position on DA, then you should support DA whether it was published by Rep or Dem.

If Republican DA passes, Republicans got my vote for the rest of my life for saving my life.

I wouldn't care one bit, i'm already a Democraft4life. Not just because they support the dream act (i aint ignorant), but because of the ideology their party is based on. I dont like the extremists Repubs one bit, even if they pass the DA, i simply still don't care. By the way, unlike a lot of the ignorant voters, i don't vote/support people running in the election just for the reason that they are in the party i like. That is bit of a ignorant and stupid @ss reason, even though a lot of the voters do that. I only support the people who i think will be the most successful and promising.

I totally agree.....the Democrats will look so bad if they vote it down. It will potentially hurt them in the long run as well.




"For the pro-amnesty, open borders crowd, the DREAM (Act) is their most compelling case," Beck said in an interview. "So what you've got is some Republicans who feel like somehow they'd like to take that off the table. And frankly if Rubio were to put one of these things other there, and then it's the Democrats that kill it, it could potentially hurt the Democrats."
