(CNSNews.com) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) vowed Monday that the Senate would consider a \u201ccomprehensive\u201d immigration reform bill that would include giving amnesty to illegal aliens\u2014an item he referred to as \u201cbringing the 11 million people out of the shadows.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reid said that Senate consideration of a massive new immigration bill would come after the Senate dealt with the health-care issue and energy.<\/p>\n
The Senate is now looking at a national health-care plan being promoted by President Obama and legislation that would cap carbon emissions in the United States in the name of fighting \u201cclimate change.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that I talked to the White House, recognizing they were going to have a meeting, and gave them my ideas as to what should be the lay of the land on immigration,\u201d Reid told reporters on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said in this room last week that I’ve got to do health care, I’ve got to do energy, and then I’m looking very closely at doing immigration,\u201d Reid continued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Lucky for our Republic Harry Reid is controlling the agenda because he is a damn fool and just may manage to blow up the Obama Socialism plan.<\/p>\n
I wrote a warning last fall of what could happen if America voted for Barack Obama and delivered him a far-left Democrat controlled congress. I wrote then that three big campaign issues were nothing more than pandering; GITMO, Iraq\/Afghanistan and gay issues. As it has turned out GITMO is apparently going nowhere, Iraq\/Afghanistan is still cooking right along with the latter actually growing and though he threw a few crumbs at the gay community yesterday, DADT and DOMA are going nowhere.<\/p>\n
The big Four objectives that I predicted Obama would attack immediately were nationalize the financial system, nationalize the energy industry with cap and trade, nationalize healthcare and immigration amnesty. It\u2019s almost like Harry, Barry and the boys read my stuff.<\/p>\n
The problem is that I went further and even laid out the strategy that would result in Democrat control for the next generation (albeit control of a greatly weakened and socialist country).<\/p>\n
My recommendation was to gain momentum by accomplishing something big that could be guaranteed by using all the stimulus money to buy off the blue dogs and where you already have the support of the squishy RINOs; namely Immigration Amnesty. I realize it would have been controversial but it would have been a victory and added millions of generational Democrat voters.<\/p>\n
With those voters secured the full-scale march to Socialism would be a cake walk.<\/p>\n
Fortunately for freedom loving people, Harry and Barry are a couple of dumb asses and idiots tend to over-reach. <\/p>\n
Taking over the car companies (screwing the bond holders and handing them over to the unions) was a seriously unpopular move. The political litmus test for putting generational family businesses in the crapper was also seen as little short of fascism.<\/p>\n
Taking over banks was a bad idea; creating a \u201cPay Czar\u201d was amazingly stupid.<\/p>\n
Firing Inspectors General to protect your political allies smells of the Clinton flavor of abuse of power.<\/p>\n
Democrats are already bailing on the nationalized healthcare and the Midwest Democrats are running from cap and trade. Even Tom Daschel is now against a single payer system. Cap and Trade is the biggest political liability. First because more and more people are beginning to realize that the whole AGW is a huge scam and more importantly it will hit their wallets hard and quickly. Energy (electricity, gasoline, natural gas, etc) will spike at least 30% within days. People who pay their own bills will not like this.<\/p>\n
This could have easily been avoided by pushing amnesty first.<\/p>\n
Now the agenda\u2019s approvals (I know Barry is still up there with Babe Ruth and Ice Cream) are tanking and the congress critters are facing re-election with unemployment rising and inflation right around the corner; we may have hope yet.<\/p>\n
I hate when all of hope rides on someone else\u2019s incompetence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
