According to the NY Times and Limbaugh, in different terms of course, the current battle over the Immigration bill is all about
1) "blue blooded" country club Republicans trying to sieze control of the party from conservatives;
2) the Democrats trying to expand their "victim" base;
3) both the "blue bloods" and the Dems trying to expand immigration, not ****** it; and
4) granting "illegals" all sorts of rights that Americans do not have.
But the main point here is the war between Bush, McCain, Hegel and the like against conservatives like Limbaugh. You are seeing the a battle that lay dormant since the landslide elections of Ronald Reagan. But Bush and his crew are out for blood, blue blood it seems.
Here are a few snippets from Limbaugh:
" I think what's happening here, in addition to all that I've said, is that moderate Republicans are trying to destroy conservatives and conservatism. By moderate Republicans, let me give you some names: John McCain, Arlen Specter. We'd have to throw Senator Lindsey Graham in there now, and some of the Republicans in the administration, some of the Republicans in the White House. I think they have been steaming over the conservative wing taking over the Republican Party. The elites in the Republican Party we've heard from on this debate, and they are trashing all of you as a bunch of unsophisticated boobs.
Me, too, and I think there's a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party going on right now, and the conservatives who are largely the majority membership of that party are under assault. I think that it is perfectly clear, at least to me, that that's what's happening. You can look at this this way. Let me make it easy. We're back to 1976. This is Ronald Reagan versus Gerald Ford. This is Barry Goldwater versus Nelson Rockefeller. This is the compassionate conservative Republicans -- i.e., the moderates -- versus the conservatives. That's all tied into this. There's so many things being done here at once, and this whole immigration bill is simply a rubric to disguise the true intent. "
