Are they born stupid or do they practice?

From The Washington Post:

They monitor the same polls and national debate over immigration, yet House Republicans are reaching dramatically different conclusions from President Bush and Senate GOP leaders regarding which political and policy routes to take, a disagreement that may haunt their party in years to come.

House Republicans overwhelmingly favor a get-tough approach that deals only with tightening the U.S. border with Mexico and bolstering efforts to capture and deport illegal immigrants. With time growing short for a compromise, House members appear more wedded to their stand than ever and have held hearings that ridicule the approach taken by Bush and the Senate.

The Senate bill would tighten borders but also provide an expanded guest-worker program and opportunities for many of the nation's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants to achieve legal status, possibly including citizenship.

House Republicans reject the approach as "amnesty" that rewards lawbreakers.
Both camps say they are right not only on the issue's substance but also on its politics. Each group claims to have the Republican Party's best interests at heart. By definition, both cannot be right, and if the party misplays its hand on the volatile issue, the consequences could be dire, according to a variety of politicians.

"If we lose a generation of Hispanic immigrants, the Republican Party will be a minority party for a long time," said Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), a chief sponsor of the Senate bill. That is what will happen if the House approach prevails, he predicts, and things will not be much better if the House and Senate fail to reach a compromise before the November election.

Listen closely here Chuck: You can’t lose what you’ve never had! Hispanics are not going to vote Republican in numbers large enough to count! You never had a chance to get their votes!

Am I getting through!?!

The Republican Party cannot offer the kind of bribes the Democrat Party will and remain the home of Conservatism.

The Republican Party cannot survive without Conservatives! We will never be able to woo enough freeloaders over to our party by trying to out-democrat the Democrats. If it comes down to a race between a democrat and a Democrat the people will always choose the Democrat.

So get a grip Chuckey and realize that the only way the Republican Party, and by extension the USA, survives is by keeping more illegals out, denying the ones who are already here citizenship and ultimately sending them home.
