Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday that he would pull support from his own immigration reform bill if his fellow Judiciary Committee members voted to include LGBT provisions.
ok it's plain to see he's playing to his base, but that base is a small corner of the population probably not as many as there are LGBT's, so would it not be confirming the party of stupid to cater to a few and lose so many?
The immigration legislation put forward by the bipartisan "gang of eight" doesn't address the problems faced by binational same-sex couples, who under the Defense of Marriage Act cannot petition for green cards for their foreign national partners.Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Judiciary Committee, introduced amendments to the gang of eight bill that would give same-sex couples equal treatment to heterosexual ones under immigration law.But Republicans in the gang of eight, including Graham, have cautioned that such a move would kill the bill. In January, when the group first unveiled its broad framework for immigration reform, Graham said LGBT provisions would be a non-starter for Republicans.
the republican vision of reaching out looks like they woke up and somebody cut all their arms off so now how do they reach out, guess there's no plan B when there never was a plan A.
the way they are still poo pooing on everyone tends to look like they are more confident their voter blocking and gerrymandering an id changes and all the skulduggery surrounding them and their search for alleged fraud, will be enough to defeat Hillary should she run 2016.
you know what would be cool if they did the same thing again dismissing Pres. primarily because he is Black and he outBama'd them twice, well if Hilary doesn't and they continue spending big bucks to dirty her up and another candidate of equal stature steps up to the plate and once again they get blindsided.
