    Then of course you can cite the relevant legislation that allows him to do this. Just because he's president isn't justification. As you should know the president DOES NOT write laws, he only enforces them.

    Perfect. The president who's stated multiple times he doesn't have the authority to do this is now going to do it anyway and you're worried about what the GHOP is going to do. WTF? Maybe you liberals should start thinking a little more deeply about this self absorbed liar you seem enamored with. After all, he's not performing well as a US president by acting dictatorially.

    That makes ZERO sense. How does a GOP comprehensive bill effect his executive orders unless they try to STOP the executive action...and he threatens to veto their bill. OR their bill includes the executive actions....in which case they are doing what their Base HATES....

    unless the only reason the Base hates what Obama doesn on immigration is...because it's Obama doing it??? :)

    The entire concept of the EO is a danger to the Republic itself. It was meant to be used during those times of absolute necessity, when Congress either wasn't available or the times didn't allow for congressional procedure. Now, it's been overextended to a dangerous level which supercedes our government.

    Maybe Obama is going to surprise everyone and order federal and state law enforcement agencies to begin a process of enforcing current immigration laws nation wide? No? Yes?

    I, for one, fully support our President in his tireless efforts to further sandbag and slit the throats of his own party. Thanks Obama!

    Here is the President's case against himself:

    Who needs the Republicans to convict the President for his upcoming actions, when the President has already convicted himself?

    His "back is against the wall"....but he can threaten Republicans....but it's an empty threat.

    Sort of all over the place aren't you???

    - - - Updated - - -

    Wait a minute....I thought the Rightwing spin was "If Obama grants amnesty, the Democrats will get MILLIONS of new voters".

    Now you're saying "If Obama signs amnesty, the Democratic Party will be destroyed".


    Ever heard of what Orwell called "doublethink" in "1984"?

    - - - Updated - - -

    You've convinced me....Obama will be convicted of...er...something...and not be re-elected in 2016.

    - - - Updated - - -

    HotDogr just said "granting amnesty" would destory the Democratic Party...

    YOU're saying "granting amnesty" will give the Democrats millions of voters.

    Do you need a moment to figure out which one is the correct version?

    Rightwing Radio talking point. "Enforce the laws already on the books"....which is an impossible standard because the Right would never admit they are being enforced under the Obama Administration.

    They'd always say "He's lying" or "It's not good enough."

    - - - Updated - - -

    Completely CONTRADICTORY Rightwing Talking Points....and yet, willing to bet that BOTH have been held as true by many Rightwingers.

    That BOTH "If Obama grants amnesty, the Democratic party will get millions of new voters!" AND "If Obama grants amnesty, the Democratic party will be destroyed!"

    Cognitive dissonance is the psychological term. Orwell called it "doublethink".

    I'm not much for spin, right or left. He can't constitutionally 'grant amnesty', to my understanding.

    No I didn't. IMO, if a large percentage of democrats are against amnesty, unilateral executive action against their wishes would a) sandbag the party and b) slit the political throats of those democrats who dare support it. I never said it would destroy the party. I will say that O'Bama's actions have been a detriment to the D side, as was evidenced by the most recent midterms.

    >>>MOD EDIT Off Topic Removed<<<

    The new meme is "amnesty will destroy the Democrats as millions flock to the Republicans to oppose amnesty"

    They are contradictory....yet BOTH are claimed by rightwingers....

    and of course in Rightwing Media where such contradictions originate, but are overlooked by the audience, who are kept in a constant state of deliberate amnesia....where a host can say something in August...say the opposite in November....and claim "I've always said, my friends, that...."....and the audience believes that they have been consistant.

    Inside the Rightwing Media Echo Chamber this works...as there's nobody there allowed to point out the contradictions.

    OUTSIDE that Bubble...say in public blogs....the previous spin is remembered and the contradiction self-evident....thus embarrassing the fan of Rush, Sean, Glenn, Levin, etc. ....while of course the host suffers no embarrassment.

    Orwell predicted this...just not the technology nor the application. He called it "doublethink"..."Oceania is at war with Eurasia, Oceania has ALWAYS been at war with Eurasia"....which is easily turned into "Oceania is at war with Eastasia, Oceania has ALWAYS been at war with Eastasia".

    Here endeth the lesson...

    They are not contradictory.

    The will gain voters..............(the immigrants they let in)

    They will lose voters...............(the democrats that are not for unilateral amnesty)

    Net loss of voters............IMO

    I cannot speak to what others have said. Only that you misrepresented what I said, and that I stand by my statement.

    It is possible that these 'right wingers' you refer to believe that while the O'goal is millions of O'votes, it will ultimately backfire and cause harm to the party. I don't know, you'll have to ask one of them.

    "My fellow Kenyans, er, Americans, I am here tonight to announce that I am giving amnesty to 12 million illegal immigrants because I'm really pissed at the outcome of the last election. (*)(*)(*)(*) you (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s. I'll do whatever I want. There ain't nothing you can do about it. You can kiss my black ass. You don't know who your (*)(*)(*)(*)ing with. I've got the bomb (*)(*)(*)(*)(*). I'll nuke your ass. Thank you, good night, and God bless America."

    Please be sure to tell everybody you are a Republican voter, after such comments...it'd really help.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Of course..."They will gain voters AND lose voters"....is not contradictory. Of course, of course.

    - - - Updated - - -

    BTW, do you remember earlier when this was announced how I said the scientific term for what the Right will do is "go simian feces"?

    Well?

    This is Obama going simian feces. This dope smoking probably still addicted to crack president has the mind of a 13 year old boy and is lashing out at his promiscuous mother who won't pay attention to him and give him his way. We are in for a bumpy ride with a president who has serious mental issues and very little common sense or wisdom.

    Obama's a case study on why electing progressive politicians is dangerous. There is absolutely nothing good that can come to the country from giving amnesty of millions of uneducated, low-skilled, fast breeding welfare recipients. None. This is all about helping out the Democrat Party.

    So tell us, O great Left-wing commentators, what is the right response? Simply to stand by and let your tin-horn "Messiah" dictator issue law-breaking decrees now because he won't have a lapdog Senate after January 3rd? Oddly enough, I take a fiendish delight in that idea. Why? Because after all these illegal aliens become legalized, they'll be competing with YOU hyperlib bust-outs for all the bottom-feeder jobs dishing out minimum wage pay. I like the idea of all you crumb-bum socialists sitting at the ragged-ass edge of subsistence-level poverty, *****ing about all the "haves" and your sorry, miserable lot as "have-nots". Get out there and start grubbing up all the wonderful socialist "opportunity" you'll have access to while you fight it out with all these millions of legalized Mexicans and whatever else you'll be in the labor "gladiator arenas" with. And remember, Comrades -- you brought it on yourselves when you put this THING you think so highly of into office. Not ONCE, but TWICE! :roflol:

    And before you throw Ronald Reagan in my face, remember -- Reagan only went along with the Democrat plan because it was passed by the Congress, and, he signed it because of the Democrat promise that there would be funding and initiatives for much greater reinforcement of immigration laws. Reagan believed the Democrats, signed the bill, and the Democrats immediately abandoned the effort. Reagan was later to say it was the greatest disappointment of his presidency....

    Obama has no intention of working with the new Congress at all! He thinks of himself as the great empowered dictator with his "pen and phone", and he will do whatever he damned well pleases.

    That is great that you post an article and then make off topic comments about it right off the bat. Kudos.

    Looks like he will allow illegals who have children who are citizens or Permanent Residents, to not face deportation for two years and work in the USA.

    but they will not be eiligible for any govt. benefits or subsidies.


    I have no major problems with this. And the next President can either continue it...or bust them.

    - - - Updated - - -

    they won't be receiving welfare or any govt. benefits.

    - - - Updated - - -

    its not amnesty if they can still be deported.

    You are correct in that Reagan did not act on his own as the history revisionists would like everyone to believe. He signed a bill passed by the legislature.
