I think McNulty should consider being honest next time about how he feels in public; both sides will give him more credit.
It’s not like a single Democrat is going to remember this and for vote him, ever.
…and probably primaried.
And while Dems may not vote for him, maybe he’s taking a larger view. If R’s lose the U’s and Hispanics, they’re done. You can’t win a general with just tea party support.
McNulty realizes the scope of his office, and wants to run for something down the line. Speaker of the House is a pretty prestigious position, and McNulty isn’t dumb enough to waste the opportunity he’s been presented–he knows he’s lucky enough that someone lost their supposedly safe seat by 197 votes to ensure he’d be Speaker.
But I believe that the supposition here, which is that support for a strong immigration policy must equal political suicide, is flawed. A lot of people with Hispanic surnames are upset about illegal immigration, and the stigma applied to them, law abiding citizens, because of illegal immigrants. I do not believe that the issue is so easily divisible by race.
but this particular legislation–the kind of that mimics the Arizona law–is blatantly racist and unconstitutional.
If you want to see tough immigration laws that don’t violate the constitution, check out what the Democrats passed during the 2006 special session. Latino groups weren’t happy about the laws they passed then, either, but at least they didn’t violate anybody’s civil rights.
As soon as the Republicans want to start discussing sane immigration reform, and not just rhetorical red meat for the jingoistic base, I’m all ears.
If the D’s could have just turned out 200 additional D voters – the house would still be D?
Where was the GOTV?
I’ll also remember that it was dumb politics in the first place, and smarter politics to quietly end it early in this session.
That didn’t stop Arizona’s legislators. I’m very happy that our own Republican legislators are good enough people to be able to admit when their proposals are unconstitutional.
