Republican Party does same things expects new results

WaPo:
Consider what the House GOP is up to right now. House Republicans recently passed an immigration amendment, pushed by anti-reform diehard Steve King, that would effectively mandate the deportation of the “DREAMers” who were taken to the U.S. as children. House Republicans are planning a vote next week on a measure that would ban abortions after 20 weeks, after defeating amendments that would exempt cases of rape or incest. And yesterday, House Republicans approved a version of the 2012 National Defense Reauthorization Act that contains what The Advocate calls “three controversial, antigay amendments, one of which is aimed at delaying repeal implementation of don’t ask, don’t tell.”

Deport? 
Millions?
Why did we win WW2 and become the greatest nation in history? Who were those people fighting? Might they have been the children of those arriving from 1890-1924? And why did those people come here?
Who filled out the ranks of the Union army as FODDER at Fredicksburg? At Chancellorsville? At Antietam? When things SUCKED. And why did those people come here?
Who were Neils Bohr, Albert Einstein, Edward Teller, Hans Bethe, Enrico Fermi, John Von Neumann, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner, Joseph Pulitzer, Andrew Carnegie, Nicola Tesla, oh and try Bobe Hope and Levi Strauss for fun? And why did those people come here?
Get real, we can’t even figure out how to deport ARRESTED CRIMINALS who also happen to turn out to be here illegally NOW. Certainly at not less than a million dollars per case. If we bother.
REEEEEEEEDIKULOUS! It's EASY to stake out a truly classically liberal case here .. BORDER SECURITY#1, immigration back to PRE-1924 (wide open), NO PUBLIC AID OF ANY KIND for 5-7 years for immigrants (or until citizenship). If you were BROUGHT here as a minor, you can get a VERY fast track. A real, and TOUGH national E-verify in which EMPLOYERS GO TO JAIL. 
Rape? I don’t have a HUGE problem with 20 weeks (that’s getting to the point of the youngest fetus actually saved into life, although an arbitrary number is IMHO, STOOOOPID) , but to force a women to have a child in cases of rape or incest? Sorry dudes, YOU ARE INSANE.
Repeal 'don’t ask don’t tell'? How about if we just have NO POLICY about it? We just DON’T GIVE A SHIT?
Meanwhile half the republican party in congress want to kick the shit out of Assad (probably because of Iran and Hizballah and throw Russia in for good measure) in favor of Al Qaeda (Nusra) and half want us to ignore everything. I mean WTF? Half think the NSA actions are needed and half think they are wiping their asses with the Bill of Rights? [Here's a clue -they are.]
And here is the good news… the executive branch is WORSE. But that’s not a Republican problem…. YET. Maybe it will NEVER BE.
Again.
Marco Rubio himself can’t make up his mind about his own bill.
Lindsay Graham believes in freedom but want to troll my calls and search results, and then he thinks HE IS MY PARTY?
We are in a period of loosely organized (by HUGE, STUMBLING AND MYOPIC TBTF corporations and institutions) nearly purposeless non benevolent ANARCHIC decay, in which I see a likeness to a cube of sugar in the bottom of a cup of tea. You can see it’s shape, but ….one vibration and …
Eric Cantor, WAKE THE FUCK UP. Someone over there had better have a cup of coffee.

The GOP's IDIOTIC talk about rape and repealing Roe v. Wade is inane -- and doing great damage to the viability of the GOP.

Obama is liked by most Americans; the GOP is not.

If the GOP was serious about abortion they would ALL be trying to FIRST position not being compelled via taxes to pay via federal funds for what some people conscientiously object to as murder - as JUSTICE.

They have about 10 levels of raising consciousness to go on the issue.

Absurd effort this way. They have no moral underpinning among the people for such a GIGANTIC reversal.

It's so horrifically disgusting

The problem with your immigration
stance is that most of the early immigrantsto this country were whites who wanted to assimilate and mostly spoke English. Even then, 1/3 returned to their native countries. Since 1956, the majority
of the immigrants (plus the illegal aliens) were mostly Hispanic. Do you want this country resembling Mexico or Colombia?

I want ANYONE who wants to be a citizen, and if there is NO PUBLIC AID, you had better be motivated.

The Virginia planters, and northeast lawyers were petrified of the western farmers when Jackson's majority took hold. This has been going on since then.

IF you want in, WELCOME. But you will have to work for it.
