To Win, Newt Gingrich Must Present a New Vision

It always makes me laugh when Democratic (i.e., liberal) campaign consultants give Republicans electoral advice.

Political hacks like the author of this sophomoric column obviously want Gingrich to win the GOP nomination because they know he would lose badly to Obama in the general election.

And there is nothing "moderate" about Gingrich's position on "immigration" (i.e., amnesty). Gingrich has long supported mass amnesty for illegal aliens, and his patently absurd and impractical "red card" amnesty scheme is just his latest ruse.

The vast majority of Americans oppose amnesty and want the current immigration laws on the books enforced - but the elites in D.C. still refuse to listen. This stunning disconnect has been ongoing for decades, yet the media refuses to report on this.

The credible, impartial and honest polling from Quinnipiac, Rasmussen and Zogby confirm that American oppose amnesty and support enforcement.

There have been some flawed push polls that ostensibly show support for "path to legalization" (i.e., amnesty) for illegals, but read closely and you'll see that these biased polls offer the false choice of either mass deportations or amnesty.

The honest, credible, and accurate polls instead offer the common sense and popular choice of attrition through enforement of laws (which will decrease the illegal population over time).

This attrition strategy is what Americans will accept, yet Obama is going the opposite way, cutting worksite enforcement by about 70% and agressively attacking states like Arizona and Alabama that are trying to restore the rule of law and protect their citizens.

As Thomas Edsall recently wrote, Obama and the Democrats are abandoning the (jobless) white working class, and instead are pandering (my word) to other more favored ethnic groups and those dependent on government. Sad but true.
