Changing demographics spell the end for the GOP.
We talking about Amnesty?
Cause if we are, then yeah. That's the whole point of Obama's "version" of Immigration Reform.

Language is important and I'm sorry but it isn't okay to constantly take words and assign them negative connotation. Do you like it when the word Conservative is constantly used to describe racist misogynists?
The only reason the GOP took the House in 2010 was solely because of gerrymandering

Amnesty or not, the GOP is slowly but surely sealing it's fate. Changing demographics spell the end for the GOP. There is no room in the future for a party that is hellbent on not denying ignorance.
Just look at the past 2 presidential elections, I expect 2014 to be a bad year for the GOP as well.

You keep saying "socialist" like it is a dirty word.
We are already partially socialist, and many of us think that we need even more socialist programs.
Social Security, Medicare, Highway system, internet (research for it), Amtrak, Public Schools, Fire Departments, Police Departments, US Military, Our Space Program.
Hardly any of these would be considered "evil" by most people. I'm sure some people have gripes about Medicare or Social Security...but for the most part Americans (even Republicans) embrace our Nations Socialist programs. We just tend to call them "social" programs, because if you put the "ist" on the end of it...people flip out (like this thread)...but the meanings are the same with or without the "ist".

I wonder if this is how it goes in the back rooms of the White House.......
"I have a "green energy" solution/Jobs program that can siphon a few million out of the taxpayers pockets, want in?"

Well your book is wrong. Socialism is a system designed to keep one group of people from turning another group of people into wage slaves by giving the means of production directly to the workers.

Any other justifications you may have? It is one thing to read up on a subject, yet another to be a card carying member.
It just absolutely amazes me how people will do or say anything to justify everything Obama does wrong! Amazing!
Sometimes, when it quacks like a duck and talks like a duck and walks like a duck. . . . calling it a goose and getting all bent out of shape seems counter-productive.

Again with the definition issues?
Call Obama a commie, socialist, statist, oligarchist, doffus. . . .
The one thing he ISN'T is a representative of the American people, a representative of the American Constitution, a representative of American ideals.
From now on, I dub Obama; a Remulax from the planet Greebo with a taste for Kartoffel Greeb and WD40.
Names, definitions. . . blahblahblah
He's not good for the future of this country. His ideas are bad. His policies are bad. His associates are bad.

That's a stereo typical response from extreme right wingers who think everyone should see it there way. Legitimate democracy attains balance through "inclusion". That's a word you should familiarize yourself with. If it weren't for card carrying communists, the conservatives would have had us all working like dogs for ten dollars a day. The card carrying extremists with A-type personalities are the ones who just don't get it in ideological terms.
