Pelosi and her Merry Band of Dipshits

So the immigration bill failed. I didn't read the whole bill--and maybe it was a bad one--but how long is this going to go on?

We continue to have low unemployment in the country while the illegals keep coming in (and most of them do it via air-travel, btw). It is therefore mathematically impossible to say that they are taking our jobs. As such, it is only reasonable to assume that they are here performing jobs we need done. Additionally, it is all too obvious that our current immigration policy simply does not match our nation's market realities. It just doesn't. So...what are we waiting for?

"The American people believe that until we're able to secure our borders and enforce our laws, taking additional steps [in immigration reform] is really not in the best interests of the country," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio

This was in response to the proposition that since the whole shitterie can't pass, why not at least pass a few critical elements? Ah, yes, Boehner Boy, why be practical? Why even try to solve at least part of the problem. Instead, we will just let the whole situation remain a disaster "until we're able to secure our borders."

Why would he be so impractical and irresponsible? Because we're asking him to work. That's it--and it's obviously not just him. Immigration reform is a difficult problem and requires a lot of work and compromise. Building a wall--easy decision. Who cares if it costs billions and solves nothing? In an honest moment, he might even say something to the effect of "Keeps me in office, Beehatch! Best part...I don't even have to think!"

Just WTF is Pelosi doing? This is perhaps the one thing that W has basically right, she could demonstrate real leadership with this one, and one would think that she could get a *lot* of mileage out of it by delivering it for President Knucklenutz. Instead, with White House support, it fell on the floor and there is no apparent backup plan. Can no one do anything substantial in American politics anymore? Honestly?! Are we doomed for mediocrity?
