re: #9 Political Atheist

As if there have not been broader amnesty proposals, say that may not have been bi partisan and not criminalized anything?

Both unlike the Reagan bipartisan bill that came from a bi partisan commission. A centrist compromise. So correct not far left at all. But not perspective changing to me. A good argument for the middle referred to by myself and the Blue Dogs.

I have problems with viewing ‘the middle’ as something that is achieved by a ‘bipartisan process’. Granted that things used to work that way, this model does not work with this GOP, especially since the election of Obama.

Since it’s the new normal, it is easy to lose sight of how radical the House GOP is being. Had the Democrats tried the same games in 2006, they would have caused a debt ceiling crisis over defunding the war in Iraq.
