A New Jersey Reader Says If McCain Has Any Hope Of Winning Republican Votes, He Must Fire Juan Hernandez

Bad Sign For GOP: Clinton Outflanks McCain On
Immigration
For readers who heard the Democratic debate last
night, you know what is in store for you: “comprehensive
immigration reform” with a path to amnesty, i.e.
citizenship
What, I wonder, are the Democrats’ chances of
winning? And where is
Paul Craig Roberts to defend us on the Republican
side?
Peter Brimelow
once said that Roberts is on board at
VDARE.COM because of his immigration views. I
haven’t seen much of that lately, but Roberts certainly
loves to bash Republicans.
I’m beginning to wonder if VDARE.COM is serious about
Roberts and if Roberts is truly our immigration ally.
Fahlstrom is a retired NASA
aerospace engineer and former USMC pilot. His previous
letter questioning Roberts’ credibility is
here.
Peter Brimelow writes:
Of course,
I wish that
syndicated columnist Paul Craig Roberts would
return to writing more
about immigration.
And I understand
that VDARE.COM readers who are Republican loyalists are
naturally distressed at anything that appears to
facilitate a Democratic in the 2008 election. But we are
a coalition focused on patriotic immigration reform—and
nothing else. Some of our writers and readers are, in
fact,
Democrats.
The ignominious fact is that
Republican control of the executive and legislative
branch did
nothing for our cause.
My opinion: a period in
opposition could be salutary for the Republican Party.
After all, if George Bush had been re-elected in 1992,
the Republicans would probably never have captured
Congress in 1994. Defeat could focus the party on its
natural strategy—and,
finally, get the immigration issue into play in federal
politics.
