March 20, 2010 Update:
Just when I thought that I was convinced that we should probably support Republicans I hear this…
South Carolina’s Senator Lindsey Graham has joined with Chuckie Schummer to restart immigration reform. We should feel comfortable that Sen. Graham wants “A tough but fair path to legalization” for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S., the most controversial component in the reform proposal.” Even John McCain finally gets it on immigration reform. Like health care reform, the American public doesn’t want it.
Democrats can always count on the Grahams, Snows, Collins, and Specters of the world to cross the aisle to give the Democrats what they want. I cannot understand how anyone would subject themselves to sit down with Chuckie Schummer for any length of time and his nasal, sanctimonious voice.
Maybe it is time for a third party? We’ll certainly take some losses for a few years, but ultimately we should be able to take back this country and reverse the damage currently being done by the Democrats and Republicans. Instead of the Tea Party we should call it the Retribution Party and the platform could feature a promise to punish all of those who have damaged our Republic with unconstitutional laws.
