Fascinating.
Healthcare Reform: The vast majority of American's would have gladly supported healthcare reform had been limited to a subset of 4 or 5 key provisions ex: pre-existing conditions. What we got from the Democratically Controlled Congress and the Neo-Socialist in the White House was a many thousand pages long monstrosity completely overhauling the healthcare system (It does, end of story), creating an entirely new bureaucracy and clearly set to drive up costs ex: health insurance premiums. . . . while selling out to things the Neo-Socialist in the White House attacked during his campaign. Ex: Big Pharma. But that's another story for another time.
Now on Immigration . . . we get all of this hand wringing about how complicated it is, how it just can't be figured out easily (but they managed to ram rod a many thousands pages long healthcare bill through in a matter of months). Translation: We haven't figured out a way to politically make blanket amnesty work so we'll have millions of new voters. We steadfastly refuse to perform our fiduciary responsibilities in providing border security (both parties are to blame for this, but the Democrats and the Neo Socialist in the White House have exasperated the situation). Yet, what do the vast majority of American's want: Complete Border Security, and a common sense approach to Immigration Reform which includes an easier path to citizenship, yet closes the loopholes to the people who are clearly here to do nothing but sponge. As has been pointed out, if the DREAM legislation is such a fantastic piece of legislation, why does Democratic Thug from Las Vegas need to attach it to a Defense Spending Bill (Defense Spending Bills . . . the Democratically Controlled Congress of the last 5 years has NEVER met one they didn't pass with Bells on)??? Admit it resident Libratards and Obamabots . . . your own in most cases have sold out to special interest on this, and you know this is just nothing but a ploy to get votes. The Neo Socialist in the White House is currently weighing the options . . . his desired version of "immigration reform" which will undoubtedly cost him almost the entirety of the "independent" voting block that swung his way compared to the numbers of instant voters we'll have that will almost undoubtedly swing his direction.
We'll know how the numbers look based on whether the Neo Socialist continues to backpedal on immigration reform or not. Stay tuned.
