I don't think that poor BD knows what the word, acrimony, means. Maybe someone should explain it to him.

A couple of weeks ago someone from DirectTV was trying to get me to sign up for HBO and I had to say that I hate to surf and have to kick away Maher and he is on different hours every night of the week. It was Maher that drove me away from HBO and I won't take them again till he is gone. Maybe we will get lucky and he will retire. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Endeavoring to explain anything to him is an exercise in futility. He is lost in his own little proggie dream world.

Roy, no need to reinvent the wheel: google republican loss 2012, autopsy. You should find lots of articles analyzing the Republican failure to reach out to certain demographic groups, including young women, young men, blacks, and Hispanics.

Apparently, in 2014, the GOP is none to eager to apply the things learned from that autopsy.

All the Democratic strategists can say is, "suit yourselves".

If the shoe was on the other foot you would also expect equal and un-biased application of the law.

Considering the desire of the GOP to triple-down on their failed 2008 and 2012 presidential campaign strategies, there really is not much concern that the shoe will ever be on the other foot. Small, angry white conservative tents, don't win the White House.

It is clear, from the party's willingness to write off Blacks, Hispanics, and the majority of women, that they have decided to go the way of the Whigs. The Eric Cantor loss is a foreshadowing of even bigger losses, as the Hispanic demographic (except for Cubans) votes massively for the Democrats.

But they have to get to the voting booth, the excitement obama had won't be repeated, more on the right are sick of lawless liberals and will. Be voting.

Here is a quick reply that I am guessing Brian will for the most part agree with.

As far as immigration reform grant resident alien status to family's already here deporting those convicted of serious crimes and set a time limit for them to apply for and become citizens or return to their country of origin. To curtail future illegal immigration make it a felony with a mandatory prison sentence to employ an undocumented immigrant, no hope of a job will stop the flow of illegal immigration. 

To increase employment borrow money while interest rates are low and repair and rebuild our infrastructure. Roads, rail, schools airports, power grid, bridges harbors, and invest in public education from pre school to Phd. Combine this with a tax on corporate holdings to encourage corporate investment in workers and severely tax capital that is moved off shore.

Freedom of speech is sacrosanct but speech is not money and only individuals should have unlimited free speech. so called corporate speech is a joke and is often very harmful to our society. 

Change the ACA to allow a single payer option, remove rules precluding the Government from bargaining with drug company's to reduce drug prices and put the savings into drug research at public university's. 

Give the IRS the authority and manpower to aggressively go after tax cheats, and audit things like shady non profits.

Kevyn, I agreed with most of your post. However you put a giant turd in the punch bowl.

It's nice that you posted an, "If I ruled the country" post. I hope that made you feel better. In the real world, especially in California, people don't ask to see the immigration papers of someone who mows their lawn, babysits their children, or cleans their house.

I don't know anyone who wants to go around investigating the status of their Hispanic neighbors.

I have interacted with hundreds of Hispanic folks. I have never cared to know about their "status". My daughter teaches Hispanic children. By law she is forbidden to inquire about the parents immigration status. She has no problems with that......nor do I...nor do most residents of California.

There are reasons the GOP, here, is basically extinct.

You really want to imprison somebody who hires an undocumented worker (otherwise known as a human being)??? Really??????

Who is going to "audit" the IRS?

You made lots of sense there until you spoke out in favor of Single Payer health care. When will people like you realize that if the government controls the payment of that you have socialized medicine and that most people will sit back and let them get by with more and more? I would say never since so many of your heavy left leaners still haven't figured out what Single Payer means.

Why, of course, they will audit themselves. Maybe Eric Holder could select some outstanding characters outside the IRS.

Haven't many of the scandals been audited by the people who pulled the scandal as Obama desired?

Calling black people who manage to be conservative, Uncle Tom, and other names like that seem to be the way you people try to keep blacks on your side.
