Well, here is a bizarre poll from USA Today/Gallup: As the Senate prepares to vote on a landmark immigration bill, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds that Americans who have an opinion about it are overwhelmingly opposed to the deal. By nearly 3-1, those who have a view say they’re against the compromise supported by Senate […]

More and more the far right is losing its support in the conservative coalition. Now Fred Barnes makes a good case as to why this is a good immigration bill, better than anything before and anything we will see again. t the top of the list of what conservatives can get is significantly beefed-up security […]

Sen John McCain is making the case which will sweep the immigration Bill into law as long as liberal amendments can be beaten back. It is the case which will win the day: “The politics of Washington have encouraged us to leave solutions to the toughest problems for another unluckier generation of leaders. Problems are […]

They demonstrate over and over how out of control the Bush opponents are. Now they are buying into […]

While I focus on the Immigration Hypochondriacs, I should point out some of those on the other side of the debate. Harold Hutchison has a good post out on how American it is to dissent when some want to go off the deep end. And so while the hypochondriacs cry “anti-american” we see the fact […]

The split in the conservative movement, brewing since the hardliners insulted and pilloried a moderate, former democrat by the name of Harriet Miers, is gladly at hand. The hard right not only insulted Miers, but all conservatives who were not ‘pure’ enough to have a leading role in the conservative movement. It became painfully clear […]
