    Continue.

    For someone who has said it won't happen, you sure are busy creating threads about it. :lol:

    And then the voters will vote Republican anyway. *shrug*

    Well, the Emperor and his courtiers can be expected to make a lot of sound and fury about shutdowns, impeachment, not getting people to roll over and pay for what they want, etc., to arouse fear in the base and extract cash from them, but that's not getting a lot traction outside the collectivist hive.

    What's next for the GOP? As I recall, I pointed that out earlier. Over Harry Reid's warnings, Obama just screwed any chance of Dems getting a big omnibus spending package out during the lame duck session and there will probably be no big immigration reform bills heading his way next year, either.

    I guess Obama's going to have to deal with being forced by Republicans to pivot to the economy and veto legislation that makes him deliver on his pledge to let people keep their doctors and HC plans if they like them, period, etc., etc.

    It appears that I'm going to be fitting more schadenfreude into my schedule in 2015... :)

    The liberals victory dance won't last long. Back to being illegals in Jan 2017. Without their ability to actually vote in the 2016 election, this boomerang will hit the Democrats right between the eyes considering the numbers of folks against it. Elections have consequences, look at the hit the Democrats took 3 weeks ago and in 2010. Maybe they all need hearing aids, because they just can't seem to hear the people that elected them. To date 29 Democrat Senators who voted for Obama Care won't be sitting in the Senate Chamber Jan 2015. If Obama does what he says tonight, he's virtually guaranteeing another huge Republican victory in 2016. You go Barry, double down on stupid!

    I would like to put forward the notion to the Black Community, while Republicans aren't your best friends........we're your ONLY friends. Join us in stopping Obama's Amnesty dreams.

    Reagan and poppa Bush were both acting in accordance with Simpson-Mazzoli. They didn't just wake up one morning and decide to amnesty a random bunch of illegals through the divine right of kings. What law is Obama basing his actions on?

    1. And in all the posts, I've pointed out how Mitch McConnell has said "No more Shutdowns"...to find Rightwing posters arguing with me.

    2. If this move by the President is going to be such a big win for Republicans in 2016.....why are all the Republicans and conservatives mad about it???

    3. Again, you are ignoring all the Rightwing posters talking about how "A Shutdown will work to our favor, the people now love us Republicans and will blame it on Obama". You also ignore a Republican US CONGRESSMAN now talking about impeachment.

    Everything you are accusing "the Left"....is being done by the Right.

    Yes, blacks will flock to the Party that talks about "thugs" and "welfare queens" and calls the President a "Kenyan".

    Oh I'm positive he did! And I think the fact that he's leaning on prosecutorial discretion rather than a Justice Department legal opinion tells me there is no legal brief, or at least not a positive one, that the President could use as a legal cover.

    more nonsensical hyperbole.

    You guys seem to love this garbage.


    Well then, it should be fun watching them attempt to do so amidst the very large % who apparently don't, if track records are anything to go by.

    Well, I guess those Rightwing posters and Democrats aren't going to get what they want. I think the Righties will see the wisdom in it eventually.

    Why aren't you mad about it? We're supposed to be a republic governed by the rule of written law, not a nation ruled by a monarch who considers himself the law and rules by arbitrary fiat.

    As for wins, I'm somewhat mystified at how Obama and Democrats think that this going to be a big win for them. IMO, he's squandering more political capital than he should on this EO and his adversarial impulses are going to wind up blowing up in his face.

    It's true - people on both sides are making a lot of noise right now, but McConnell and Boehner have made their positions clear. As far as I'm concerned, that's the end of this story.

    What intrigues me is what will happen next year, and this EO will definitely impact that. Obama has made a big mistake in that respect - making life more difficult for yourself is like slapping yourself in the face. Not very smart, at all.

    Boehner is a wimp and a wuss. Time they elected a leader with testicles. Someone who would not be afraid of a real fight.

    The only stations I can find carrying the President's announcement tonight is Fox and Univision.

    They're confused because they're being told their loss was somehow a win. And they run with it.

    It's hilarious to watch!

    I believe you simply make up stuff throw it out there and hope it sticks, that about about right Prof? Your entertainment value is high, not so much when it comes to making actual points. But, hey you are going great.

    some questions

    what happen with a worker who is illegal now but legal tomorrow. Will the former illegal alien work for the same wage? Will the employer now have to pay market wages? Or will new illegal aliens (or still illegal aliens) take the place of those now working off the books?

    Will Obama be adding 5 million soon to be unemployed legal but still illegal Mexicans to the unemployment rolls and will we have to import 5 million new illegals who would still be illegal to do those jobs. It ain't easy to find people who will do roofing work in 100 degree temps for 5 bucks an hour you know

    Funny how the conversation is no longer about Nov. 4, is it? Obama took that away from the feckless Republicans.

    The liberals need to find some way to alter reality. They might as well make up as much s**t as possible and see if anything works.

    The purpose of amnestying illegals as far as employers go is twofold:

    1. Bring millions more legal low skilled workers into the system to depress legal wages

    2. Bring in a new crew of illegals to take the work that the currently illegal, tomorrow legal workers, are leaving. only with a much larger legal workforce with depressed wages, it will depress the wages the illegals will get.

    It's the circle of life.

    Of course, the illegals won't get their SS cards and work documents overnight. That will take a while.

    George W. Bush originally ran speaking to the need for immigration reform.
