REPUBLICANS APPEAR POISED TO BEGIN THEIR JOURNEY INTO OBLIVION…

***RINO ALERT***RINO ALERT***RINO ALERT***

And so it would seem that even before the next Congress officially gets off the ground, many in the Republican Party seem to possess a rather misguided interpretation of the results that came out of this most recent midterm election. And it would also appear that those very same results have now already gone straight to the heads of many of our Republican congressional leaders. And I’m afraid these folks may be dangerously misreading what it is that the American people were really saying in last month’s midterm election.

Many of these supposed leaders seem to already be getting more than a little cocky. One perfect example of this cockiness is how we’re now being told that as early as next year the Republican Party will begin working to implement what’s being called a comprehensive immigration reform package. And it is also being said that ‘they’ are ready to accept that millions of undocumented immigrants in the country should not be deported. Such a declaration comes by way of House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions.

This despite the fact that we continue to have poll after poll which makes very clear the point that a majority of the America people do not favor a plan that essentially amounts to nothing more than amnesty. Now Mr. Sessions, and his colleagues, may proceed in this direction if they wish, but I’m here to tell you that they do so at their own peril. Because such action not only jeopardizes the Republicans’ ability to maintain their majorities beyond 2016, but also diminishes, significantly, their chances of winning the White House in that same year.

So it was then, according ABC News, that Sessions’ comments came even as the House voted to block Barry's executive action on immigration, which would grant temporary amnesty to as many as 5 Million illegal immigrants. At a hearing this past Thursday on Barry’s executive actions on immigration, Sessions is reported to have said, "There is no one in responsible Republican leadership, elected officials, who has said we should deport 13 or 11 million people." He then went on to say, "That is not what this effort is about."

We’re told that Sessions fiercely opposes Barry's executive action, believing it to be an overreach of power. However, he has emphasized that there is a need to enact reform that will take into account that undocumented immigrants are already integrated into American society. He said, "To have a well-understood agreement about what the law should be and how we should as communities, and farm communities, and tech communities create circumstances where we can have people be in this country and work." Spoken like a true RINO.

And then, in sounding remarkably like Barry himself, it was Sessions who said, "And where not one person is quote 'thrown out or deported.' Where we do keep families together, but we do so under a rule of law of understanding." This is not why the Republicans were handed control of Congress, but it ‘is’ why their control of Congress is likely to be rather short lived. Sessions said that he and Virginia Republican Bob Goodlatte, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, would be working on a reform bill next year.

And it was during the hearing that Sessions made it very clear just whose side he is on when he even called on that little rat-bastard, and Illinois Democrat, Luis Gutierrez to work with him in what Sessions went on to call a bipartisan effort. Again it was according to ABC that Sessions said, in speaking to Gutierrez, "I'd ask you to come back to the table … and work on this and I think you will find reasonableness will abound." Gutierrez, however, expressed doubt about the intentions of Republicans.

Gutierrez said, "Every time we have another vote to deport all 11 million immigrants and their families someone on the Republican side says, 'Oh, Luis. Just wait. The day when Republicans seriously address immigration, visas, border security and legal status is coming someday soon.' But it never seems to come." He added, "It is always a higher priority to send a symbolic but meaningless message to the base that they are 'getting tough' rather than a serious message to the American people that they are getting serious about the immigration issue."

So the bottom line here, as far as I’m concerned, is that if the Republicans insist upon moving forward with their attempt to create millions of new Democrat voters then they had best understand something. They must understand that they will most assuredly be met with some stiff opposition and if they choose to ignore us that come 2016 they will be in for what will be a very rude awakening. And so they must realize that their current majority status may last but a mere 24 months. And if they are content with that, then so be it.
