The real Reason the Pubbies lost
I hope this message makes it across the blogosphere loud and clear. The Pubbies lost because of immigration. Not because of the war and not because Americans wanted change. So what would provoke me to making such a grand statement and making it so infatically.
Okay so lets see what happened in the US in the last 6 months. We have illegal people marching around our country waiving flags of other countries, demanding rights. Don't think for one minute that didn't run up the backs of every American out there. Okay okay i hear it now. I am another biggoted right wing hate mongering...blah blah. You might want to reconsider that stereotype. I am a naturalized American citizen. I am a citizen that values their immigration status and I am so greatful that you all allowed me into this country LEGALLY! But I want to be an American.
Yesterday i was listening to Newt Gingrich speak on the subject and he said something that really stuck home and before everyone, including the President get carried away with Iraq being the cause. You better consider this. Gingrich's message was strong. Basically if you look at the people that were elected were CONSERVATIVE Democrats that promised to ENFORCE immigration laws. Not grant amnesty not let them in in droves, but sending them back. How unique enforce the law and not change the law to validate illegal behavior.
Gingrich went on to say to give these individuals a chance that if they vote with the Pubbies that are left in Congress, Conservatives win. But as i sat listening to him, what struck a cord was this. I myself split my republican ticket here on the texas ballot because i don't feel our Gov. Rick Perry has any interest in protecting the border of texas. So I needed to vote for someone who would. Perry, went from 70 percent win last time to 38 percent this time. That message is pretty clear. 60+ percent of Texans felt that someone other than Perry would better protect their interests.
So if I, a very far right Republican could vote for an ultra liberal Kinky Freeman on the issue of immigration soley, why could not 30 other voting districts and 4 0ther states base their vote the same way. Furthermore had I not had immigration champion Ted Poe as my congressman, he too would not have gotten my vote.
People are flat sick of illegals. Not because we are biggoted or racists as some would assert. They are sick of them because they have blatent disregard for our country. They are not here because they want to be Americans. They want to be Mexicans. There is a blatent disregard for our rule of law from the second they step in the country. There is a disregard for our culture and our citizens. Look at crime rates, and prision populations. And although everyone thinks we the voting public is stupid, as apathetic as we may be we all know that we can't even get an order of chicken mcnuggets at McDonalds without having to know Spanish to communicate with the people in the drive though window.
So i think Newt is right. The perception of the country was the Congress, both houses were unwilling to do something about Immigration. And although, those more educated in the way the government works know that the congress did pass a bill the protected the citizens and not big businessa and big labor. The senate and the President didn't agree. And here in lies the canundrum. So the public did the only thing it could do, vote the bums out.
Now I'm sure that there is a certian percentage voted because of the war issues. But in the end as myopic as i can be at times, I do think the American public understand that Iraq, although not going well is important to our security.
Notice to the Dems, this was not about iraq as much as you and the liberal media and now our enemies, want to past this as such. It was about a horrific invasion that is affecting all facets of
American life. Jobs, Health Care Wages Education. Its destroying them all and if the politicians don't know it the public does.
