RSSBroder warns Dems about immigration, Clinton
Carolyn Hileman* | November 17, 2007 |
The WaPo’s David Broder has been having a really tough year, but today’s column was a real doozy. He’s apparently trying to warn Dems about two disparate threats: immigration and Hillary Clinton.
That is the issue of. A very smart Democrat, a veteran of the Clinton administration, told me that he expects [illegal immigration] to be a key part of any Republican campaign and that he is worried about his party’s ability to respond.I think he has good reason to worry. The failure of the Democratic Congress, like its Republican predecessor, to enact comprehensive immigration reform, including improved border security, has left individual states and local communities to struggle with the problem.
Actually, Republican lawmakers were responsible for the collapse of immigration reform; Dems were on the same page as the Bush White House. For that matter, Republicans thought they could use immigration against Dems in Virginia and Kentucky a couple of weeks ago, and that didn’t work out too well.
But the bulk of Broder’s column dealt with his contempt for Hillary Clinton and her husband. He quoted a friend concerned about “a two-headed campaign and the prospect of a dual presidency
.”[T]his is a prospect that will test the tolerance of the American people far more severely than the possibility of the first female president — or, for that matter, the first black president.This seems misguided for a variety of reasons.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal by spouting such things, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commentators reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
