This year, they can parade Republicans protesting the President and Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Why else would Democrats bring the immigration bill back after it collapsed a few months ago and they&#8217;d declared it wouldn&#8217;t be back during this session &#8211; except that they saw how deeply divided Republicans and Conservatives are on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s funny how we conservatives point and laugh at Leftists for being single-issue voters on the environment or gay &#8220;rights&#8221; or women&#8217;s &#8220;rights&#8221; or healthcare &#8220;rights&#8221; &#8211; yet\u00c2\u00a0some of us\u00c2\u00a0get our panties twisted in a knot and threaten to leave the party, leave &#8220;Jorge&#8221;, leave the country\u00c2\u00a0over things like immigration.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s how the Democrats won in 1992 (it was that &#8220;read my lips&#8221; lie they told ya&#8217;all that year and ya&#8217;all believed it) and it&#8217;s how they&#8217;re going to win in 2008.
