If the Republican party needs to pass immigration reform to show they are more inclusive why is Gabriel Gomez going to lose in the Massachusetts special election?
All of the 2012 post election analysis has centered around the Republicans and their inability to win over minority voters. We have been told that the Republicans appear to be too hostile towards minorities because of their opposition to amnesty.
In response to this criticism the Republican party has decided to move toward the left yet again and now many of them are supporting the immigration reform bill which is secretly being crafted by Barack Obama and not by the “Gang of Eight” as we had been led to believe.
Apparently the Republicans have not learned their lesson after nominating faux Republicans John McCain and Mitt Romney in the last two presidential elections and they are on the verge of making the same mistake again.
Lindsey Graham went so far as to say that if the Republicans blocked the immigration reform bill they would be locked in a “demographic death spiral” but is that really the case?
We need only look at the special election which will be held in Massachusetts next week to debunk this theory. Republican Gabriel Gomez is squaring off against Democrat Ed Markey and most polls show him down by double digits.
Gabriel Gomez is a pro-choice, amnesty supporting Hispanic who promised to turn the “Gang of Eight” into the “Gang of Nine.” He makes Scott Brown look like a conservative and yet he has been unable to gain traction because, in my opinion, his policies are going to drive the few conservatives in Massachusetts to stay home, much as the conservatives did on a national level in 2012.
When push comes to shove liberal Democrats are going to vote for the liberal Democrat and when faced with the prospect of voting for a liberal Democrat and a faux Republican the conservatives are going to stay home every single time. These policies will always drive away more votes than they will win from the left and you would think that the Republicans would have learned this lesson by now.
It is the policy stupid, and the sooner the Republicans wake up to this truth the better off the party will be in the long run. Lindsey Graham is right about the Republicans being in a death spiral, he is just 180 degrees wrong about the reason for it.
America's Watchtower 
It seems the GOP just never learns.

So true. You can not run as Democrat-lite. Time to purge the Republican Party in each state. The Party Establishment has been wrong in the candidates it proposes. If they think Chris Christie is their savior are they are deluded. Isn’t there someone somewhere that has a brain and run for office?
Steve, would you vote for Brown if he crossed state lines?

If Scott Brown is the Republican nominee and he goes up against Shaheen in the Senate race I will not vote for him because he is not from this state. Technically he qualifies because he has a vacation home here, but I have a major problem with candidates moving into a state just to run for office and I will not support him. I will sit that race out but will vote in the other races.

New York State delights in electing carpet baggers ala Robert Kennedy and Hillary Clinton.
If ordinary private citizens know the Republican Party should change their mascot from the elephant to the lemming then so too does the party’s leadership. By now it s a given that the two parties are colluding and none of this is a result of stupidity or poor planning. There are in the least two elements
controlling these political strategies, money and power. It has been predetermined that Hillary’s election will best serve both parties for the purpose of the aforementioned money and power. These elections are not left to fiat or fate. To think that today’s presidential elections are not predetermined is like believing Obama is naive and stupid. George Soros has too much skin in the game to leave anything to chance.
