Remember back on Election Day, when exit polls showed 75% of voters opposing an unlawful Obama amnesty decree, and 80% opposing illegal immigration over all? Good times, good times:
A new Washington Post poll finds that in most categories people want Obama’s amnesty plans blocked by the GOP. The percentage of “all adults” surveyed adds up to 56% who want Obama’s plans blocked. Only 41% want Obama’s amnesty plans to go forward.
The new survey found that only Democrats are supportive of the President’s effort to dole out amnesty to four million illegals. Republicans and independents largely oppose the plans.
A twenty point drop in two and a half months. Hardly what I would call encouraging. At this rate, the American people will be unanimously behind Obamnesty by the end of the summer. Or at least resigned to it as part of the ever-"evolving" "New Normal". And we've had six years to get used to that process, so this wouldn't be anything new.
Now, obviously there are a few caveats:
(1) Washington Post
(2) "Adults" versus actual voters, which will always drag any survey result leftward
(3) The typical skewed wording of the survey question:
Obama has taken executive action allowing as many as four million undocumented immigrants to avoid deportation.
"Our beloved, kind, merciful, and benevolent messiah is trying to shed his abundant grace upon these poor, threatened, downtrodden people who are richly deserving of our compassion."
The Republicans in Congress say they may take away federal funding so this order cannot be carried out.
"The wicked, evil, fascist, Nazi, devilspawned rightwing extremists want to cleanse Latin America in fire and commit genocide against La Raza."
Do you think Obama's action on immigration should go forward, or should it be blocked?
Even though Congressional Republicans have no practical power with which to block it in any case. Which is the whole point.
No mention of the Immigration Proclamation being blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. No mention of it being a flagrantly despotic power grab that the media would be leading an insurrection against any GOP president who tried anything like it. No mention of the disease epidemics that last summer's planned Border Crisis spread across the country, which the media continues to embargo. No mention of the cover this influx provides for jihadist infiltrators, or that this wouldn't be the last amnesty by a long shot, or that this one covers not four million but TWENTY million illegals, or that they're already immune from arrest, much less deportation. That might actually provide some context to the question, and that isn't what the WaPo was after.
As semantically stacked as the question was, it's a wonder that any majority of respondents still opposed Obamnesty. So we can take heart, for now, that a robust majority of the public still does.
But the reality is that all the power resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and if the GOP does cut off Obamnesty funding, O will simply tap the necessary Executive Branch slush funds to keep the passive invasion of the United States right on schedule, law and the Constitution and "We, The People" be damned, claim he's doing it in our name and for our sake, and the 51% will slurp it right down like a doggie treat. And the rest of us will slowly resign ourselves to being slowly deported from our own country, because the reality that it actually isn't our country anymore. Which is what "fundamental transformation" always meant.
The WaPo poll is a harbinger, in other words, of another inevitable Tea Party defeat.
Exit question: Anybody have any good price quotes on Spanish classes?
