Well, the World Didn't End Due to Obama's Immigration EO, Nor Due to the GOP's Response...

OP..what do YOU think about the GOP's reaction to this latest?..
Well, I think they have been low-key thus far. Rightfully so, IMHO. They risk looking like "mean spirited people", and they are smart enough to know that and how to avoid it...they are looking for an angle...a crack somewhere in the armor...they risk nothing if they do nothing...they risk a lot if they make a huge deal out of it...and they are currently trying to determine if the risk is worth the potential reward...

Fox News' Megyn Kelly admits that the right uses 'amnesty' to 'sort of get people upset'
While many congressional Republicans seem not to know what they mean when they say "amnesty" in relation to immigration policy, two rather different sources offered succinct explanations of the fuss over it in recent days. According to President Obama:
I know some of the critics of this action call it amnesty. Well, it’s not. Amnesty is the immigration system we have today—millions of people who live here without paying their taxes or playing by the rules, while politicians use the issue to scare people and whip up votes at election time. Fox News' Megyn Kelly kind of agreed:
On the November 19 edition of The Kelly File, Kelly acknowledged that the president is not actually pursuing "amnesty," because "amnesty is citizenship and that's not what [Obama] is talking about." Kelly also explained how conservatives purposely misuse the word "amnesty" for political gain: "That's a hot-button term that the right uses to sort of get people upset." Kelly, of course, has used amnesty in exactly that way herself, so don't give her too much credit for that little burst of calculated honesty. But it's still a good line to hold in your pocket the next time someone starts talking about amnesty. "Well, actually, Fox News' Megyn Kelly said amnesty is a term the right uses to upset people, but it's not what the president did anyway."

and half the time they don't even make sense because they are trying to remember this weeks dog whistles..michelle bachman being the worst..i've seen her speak on the floor..what an empty space she has between her ears..she makes no sense and she speaks like she's talking to retarded people.

You should seek employment in politics. You'd fit right in. ;)
