The Republican Party's underenforcement of immigration laws has given the Democrats a lock on California and its 54 electoral votes (and counting). It's hard to believe that Bush Sr. won California in 1988.

In a few short years, Texas (where McCain only got 55% of the vote) and Florida (which he lost) are going to be solidly in the Democratic column. It's hard to see how Republicans will ever win a presidential election again. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are as powerless and irrelevant as Republicans in the California state legislature. Increasingly Hispanic Colorado has become the first state to reject a ban on affirmative action.

Now the "compassionate conservative"/David Brooks/lemming wing of the Republican Party wants to grant amnesty (and thus voting rights) to 10-20 million illegal aliens. Say hello to 10-20 million to Democrats. These liberal Bush Republicans are fantasizing about Hispanics being social conservatives and future Republicans. All but one Hispanic Democrat in Congress has a pro-abortion voting record.

yeah, well rightbloggers should be doing everything possible to undermine and damage Obama. Demonize him. Disrespect him. Misquote him. Attribute slips of the lip or gaffes to stupidity and let's get a "given" established that he's dishonest, a cretin, traitorous, criminal and evil. Distort and invent quotes and urban legends to ridicule and discredit him. It worked for the Dems. To anyone who says "let's give him a chance" I say fuck Obama.

Right Doc !!! Conservative ideals should be fought to the death over...not advanced by getting along with or being nice to those who are trying to destroy our country. If I hear one more congratulations to the Dems on the election results from a phoney Republican, I think I'll puke.
