E unum pluribus - Republican sellout
One reliable sign conservatives have been hosed by Senate Republicans is that John McCain and Harry Reid are together announcing "progress," with Ted Kennedy along for the ride. Today Republicans abandoned their base, endorsing amnesty for illegal immigrants who've been in the U.S. for more than two years. Those who stay illegally (is that a misnomer now?) and are caught get the functional equivalent of a parking ticket, and deportation not available until three (!) violations, to say nothing of the Senate's unwillingness to say anything about enforcement or address the "carrot" of billions in entitlement programs.
I get the feeling Senate Republicans have underestimated their base -- we know where Bush stands but will the HoR respond?
Some reactions:
- Michelle Malkin suggests a Flag Day, of sorts.
- John Hinderaker wonders why "bi-partisanship" means the Republicans do what Democrats want.
- RedState on immigration.
