For some reason I can't link the image itself. Prehaps a more litetrate IT poster can.

Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.
That's a whole lotta red.
It takes one to know one, and I know you don't know a damn thing.
Well granted, the pubs have improved since the 2012 presidential election.
Ingles solamente (¡no exepciones!)
SJS, There is a very good article on Realclearpolitics.com that explains why the Democrats should be vrey concerned about the emerging voter trends. Essentially their core, non-wavering base consists of Blacks and liberal elitists. Hispanics are showing a tendency to break away fron the Democratic Party and Asians actually are trending heavily toward the GOP albeit with the 2012 election being an outlier. I'll find a link for you.

I sure wish the pundits would keep a lid on this stuff.
I'm perfectly content to let DNC Debbie continue to spew her all is well, nothing to see here we are all in for the little people rhetoric. ala Tariq Aziz...
Looking at this map it is apparent the Democrat party is operating in an echo chamber consisting of their liberal urban base reinforced by the sycophantic media establishments on the East and West coasts.

Liberals aren't dead...their supporters just need every 4 years to save up bus fare to get to the polls.
They are not a dying breed. In fact the Democrats depend on the fastest growing segment of the population....those who primarily are loyal to personalities and not principles. The Democrats had no strong personality on the ballot so a lot of their 2008/2012 voters stayed home. You might add in those that are disenchanted with the results of their votes in the last election.

Ummm Reagan went through congress on his amnesty.
And that amnesty was still a mistake 30 years later.
W never got his passed ( thank god).
And yes I was bitching back then about w's attempted sellout.

First off - not talking about dubya it was hw.
Second, working WITH congress? You got that crap off faux "news".
Here's a timeline of then and now:
—1986. Congress and Reagan enacted a sweeping overhaul that gave legal status to up to 3 million immigrants without authorization to be in the country, if they had come to the U.S. before 1982. Spouses and children who could not meet that test did not qualify, which incited protests that the new law was breaking up families.
—1987. Early efforts in Congress to amend the law to cover family members failed. Reagan's Immigration and Naturalization Service commissioner announced that minor children of parents granted amnesty by the law would get protection from deportation. Spouses and children of couples in which one parent qualified for amnesty but the other did not remained subject to deportation, leading to efforts to amend the 1986 law.
—1989. By a sweeping 81-17 vote, the Senate in July voted to prohibit deportations of family members of immigrants covered by the 1986 law. The House failed to act.
—1990. In February, President George H.W. Bush, acting through the Immigration and Naturalization Service, established a "family fairness" in which family members living with a legalizing immigrant and who were in the U.S. before passage of the 1986 law were granted protection from deportation and authorized to seek employment. The administration estimated up to 1.5 million people would be covered by the policy. Congress in October passed a broader immigration law that made the protections permanent.
How is having your Immigration and Naturalization Service act "went through congress"? Hell, it says right there Early efforts in Congress to amend the law to cover family members failed. Then reagan acted, just like now.
Stop trying to rewrite history.
Reagan did go through Congress as I said for the 3,000,000 he granted amnesty to in 1986. But, you are right about the mistakes both Reagan and Daddy bush made in trying to modify the 1986 law through executive action...really inexcusable and the whole law and subsequent modifications were mistakes as history has shown as Reagan's Attorney General Ed Meese pointed out.

And W did try twice to get amnesty through congress in 2005 and 2007 and thankfully it was defeated both times. The Bush family is really stupid about amnesty (including jeb).
So you are defending Obama's executive action as a good thing for the country? Doubling (actually quadrupling down) down on their (Reagan's and Daddy Bush's) mistakes is the smart thing to do or is this just "the pubs did it too"? Is that what you are saying 8th?
NO reagan did not -

Nope Reagan did. 1986 which was the major portion of the amnesty...or are just going to overlook that? And I said he and Daddy bush were wrong to try to modify the law through executive action...did you miss that again too? And you still didn't answer the question...again..are you supporting amnesty after it failed 30 years ago because now it is an Obama action?
It seems that presidential elections are more like team sports and fanbases and midterms are more voting on the issues. Rah Rah Dems rah rah Repubs when you have a guy to rally around a la highly paid college football coach. The rest of the elections are a bit less about team blue and team red and more about Obamacare increased my insurance premiums and my wages have been stagnant for years.
I guess that would make the midterms a non-revenue sport. Too bad for all the donors they still had to spend millions to win
