The Dems are getting crazier by the minute. On one hand they condem Bush as the anti-christ, yet praise Obama for sticking to his policies. You can't make this stuff up!

There are several problems with the GOP.
#1 Democrats giving away the treasury for 40+ years has been a force hard to compete with (of course that has bankrupted the country).
#2 Many there are beltway hacks with no spine and like most all politicians they are there for self enrichment it seems and reelection.
#3 The Democrats are basically leading us toward the same things communists would, and Republicans don't always understand you don't meet in the middle with a communist.

If a balanced budget and smaller functioning government is (Food), then growing government, government employees and constant 1000% red budgets are (poison).

Should there be a middle ground between food and poison? I don't think so because I think a little poison is no good either.
Obama caused a huge ground roots movement to come about and they are trying to get into both the Republican and Democrat party to become more fiscally conservative.

We need a Balanced Budget Amendment with everything on budget. We have small groups that will grow within both parties that will get us there.

He just can't help himself...for some reason he thinks this goes over well with the American people...but really, it's only his far left fringe support that likes this kind of divisiveness.
So he has alienated the more sensible liberals (in the GOP vernacular, that is an oxymoron) that initially voted for him?

I sincerely doubt anyone will ask him in detail to do anymore, or anything at all. They know they can't deliver, nor will they fund it, nor will many of their constituents like it. If every single illegal immigrant was deported by 5 PM tonight, people would be screaming even louder by tomorrow evening.

This was the Party platform, Republican Party on Immigration

Some very sound ideas there. Hardly anyone supports funding them, and companies lobbied very hard to get worker visas in front of any reforms.

RCCCB. This is closer to agreement for us. Responsible, sensible fiscal policy is something we can all get behind. However, the concentration of wealth in this country continues to go to the wealthiest leaving the middle class footing much of the bill and left out in the cold. This seems to be regardless of the party in office or controlling the house and senate. It seems something more drastic needs to be done. Short of anarchy, I am not sure what that is.

Has that solved the problem?

Does any of that matter when the border is still basically wide open?

NO.

Don't go around praising yourself for a job 1/100th done.

But then again, patting himself on the back seems to be what he does best.

Read the Mexican constitution and then tell me who the more inclusive peoples are.
