If Obama doesnt enact an exec order on this he will simply play into Republican hands. He needs to smoke them out and reveal them. He didnt have to in 2012 the primaries did it for him, this time he needs to light the fuse.

So the question is my fellow liberals…when Obama does issue this order are you going to stand up and fight with him, or are you going to sit back and let the republicans create the narrative, like you have done for the past 2 years???

Go President Obama! Take Executive Action on Immigration Reform! Do it now, and do it right! The hypocritical obstructionists call you an obstructionist?? They will never stop being obstructionists. They don’t want bipartisanship. You’ve got this!

Mitch McConnell: “When you hang the ‘bipartisan’ tag on something, the perception is that differences have been worked out, and there’s a broad agreement that that’s the way forward.”

They’re right, a promise to govern is a huge threat to them.

Jesus french toast. Did this screed about immigration, border security and “amnesty” follow the rant about having to protect TX from going brown, I mean purple? I was not expecting to be quite that accurate in my sarcastic, cynical post in the TX rant article.

NO QUARTER.

Obama should have no qualms about exercising his executive authority. These threats from the pipsqueak are hot air. What’s he going to do? He’s not even an elected official.

Wasn’t Reince just the other day complaining that Obama did nothing on immigration and now that Obama says he will move if Congress doesn’t, it’s a “nuclear threat”…???

When will our “liberal” media start calling the GOP out on this?

Trust me, if Obama acts he will have taken away ANOTHER of the GOPs issues. He did it in 2012 with Romney by simply ignoring their doomcrying and going ahead with Obamacare, pointing out that their nominee had put the same thing in place in Massachusetts.

If they try something legislatively, then they have to defend in in 2016 and THIS time there will be states up with very large Hispanic populations.

That leaves the judiciary. If they go THAT route, we STILL get to hit them in the head with the issue.

We win either way.

All it takes is guts.

Of the new Republican Congress, he also said a border crisis “will not allow the legislature to move forward unless people are convinced that the border is secure.”

Which is why Republicans are doing everything they can to convince people that the border is not secure, contrary to all evidence.

But did Reince Priebus pronounce the word ‘nuclear’ correctly?

Because if I understand the soft bigotry of low expectations that currently apply to the Republican party, that would be reason enough to reward them with more power and influence.

Speaking of not elected Republicans, what’s Grover Norquist up to these days?

Please, please, please proceed to sign that EO President Obama. The fact is, that by the 2016 elections minorities in this country will be 2% higher in numbers than they are now, and I suspect that had you already signed that order, instead of listening to the traitors in your own party and delaying it, that millions of Hispanics might have come out to vote on Tuesday.

I can tell you Mr. President, that I am literally shaking in my boots at the scary language the baggers are using to threaten you with, and I urge you to just laugh at them and sign that EO, and just dare those pigs to try and impeach you. The sooner the better, because I for one want their evil agenda, to do nothing but further thwart you and any progress for this country, to be front and center for the next two years.

Those of us who voted for you twice, and see the huge accomplishments you have made, even though what passes for a media does nothing more but carry the teabag’s water and lies for them, stand behind you 100%, while thumbing our noses at the other Dems who defeated themselves, by running away from those accomplishments. You did what they asked before the election, they then totally screwed up their campaigns and lost, so now GO FOR IT! If the Dems can’t win after two years of teabag rule and destruction in the Congress, then that is on them.

There’s a reason Rinse and Boner talk this way: the Dems have shown a remarkable predilection to back away from these kinds of threats. Let’s just say it: the Dems are afraid of the Repubs’ messaging ability.

The new Congress will make immigration reform even harder, and the old House wouldn’t even vote on it. What kind of threat are they making?

As the NY Times says today: Do it and do it big.

Well he got the teabag legislature in my state of Missouri to pass the same tax cut legislation that has basically bankrupted Kansas. My Dem Governor vetoed it, stating that he did not want Missouri to become the next Kansas, and the idiots in the legislature overrode his veto. Stay tuned to watch Missouri become the next Kansas where our budgets are concerned.

I am sure he is working hard on passing that same legislation in state after state with teabag Governors. Maybe the stupid people who reelected Walker can be his next victims, like he hasn’t already done enough damage to their once great public schools.
