And which tactics, specifically, are they?
I don't have a link. It's common sense. The very poorest people vote Democrat in very large numbers. That's indisputable. Their education levels are very low.
While I agree bad decisions are being made, don't you Cons ever get tired of saying "ruin the United States" by now? I mean you use it for everything. First it was, "The United States is finished if we do Obamacare", then it was "The United States is finished if we re-elect Obama" and now this.
It's like the Doomsdayers that keep predicting the End of the World and continuously get proven wrong.
Look, I agree that there are many bad decisions, but when you guys keep going into "Doom and Gloom" mode it just gets old and sounds more like whining.
Another term for that line of reasoning is "conventional wisdom."
No,it's pretty obvious. The Democrat base are a weird combo of highly educated and those of VERY low educational levels.
I think if he tries to pass this immigration bill he will be ousted. Hardly any house Republicans want it.
I'm not so sure that those very lows vote in any big numbers anyway.
Just speculation, of course, based on what and who I see around here.
As the old saying goes, "Boehner is as useful as tits on a boar hog." Now that I think about it. That can be said for 434 other people in Congress.
How original. The race card.
Is there a list of the members? I didn't see it in the article.
Revolt Among Republicans on Immigration Bill: 70 House Members Risk Careers in Planned Showdown With Leadership | TheBlaze.com
Seventy House Republicans are planning a politically risky showdown with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to try to force additional debate on an immigration bill they say will mean amnesty for illegal immigrants and have dire consequences for the country.
The 70 members are petitioning for a special Republican conference meeting on the bill, a “highly unusual” move to go head-to-head with the speaker, according to Reps. Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Steve King (Iowa) and Louie Gohmert (Texas), who are serving as spokespersons for the group.....
You missed the long lines in key states eh? Virginia, Florida, Ohio
Eisenhower had the most correct and sensible approach.
Please excuse my dumb ass stating (PEMDAS) in #68 which was supposed to be to you. As a retired teacher still trying to teach, replace stating with students for a better meaning of PEMDAS.I heard about them. There were no lines here.
Do you think the people waiting in lines were poorly educated?

I've tried, but failed totally to understand the above post.
The only meaning I have for PEMDAS is a mnemonic to help remember the order of operations in algebra, but can't see how that applies here.
I meant to quote you in post #68 with that post in response to your post #66. I then threw in a barb about today's techno/texting/non-thinking students with another version of PEMDAS.
Oh, so you think that Ohio is a state where there is a problem with access to the polls.
That may be, I don't know. I've never been there.
Your governor tried similar tactics in the beginning of his term.
Less machines and decreased hours in historically Democratic areas. What do you think? You missed the lines in the last 4 elections. And the crap their Secretary of State tried to pull.
You don't hear that on FOX. You do hear Rove going off that there is no way Romneycare could have lost Ohio. The fix was in dude. The long lines simply overrcame it. How about Romney's son having the private contract for election machines in Ohio?
