What do GOP voters want? I don't think they even know.

^^^THIS^^^

MSNBC is laying it on Gingrich which feels about the right time.

In the past it was understood we had different priorities but the ultimate goal was to work for a better America. 

I remember when the sides could manage, but by the time we got to the Governator, the GOP seemed to prefer gridlock to working with Democrats.

The GOP threatened to primary Arnold if he worked with Democrats & I have seen that sentiment from republican voters. Gridlock is preferred to compromise.

Which is why Republicans hold so little power in California. We got tired of gridlock.

If by compromise, you mean one side continues to ask and get more, more, more..........then yes, gridlock is preferable.

Have you gotten tired of amnesties, homelessness, rising crime, higher taxes, rising rents, higher prices, etc etc etc? Oh, but the weather is nice? Got it

As the nation's attention turns back to the fractured debate over immigration, it might be helpful to remember that in 1986, Ronald Reagan signed a sweeping immigration reform bill into law. It was sold as a crackdown: There would be tighter security at the Mexican border, and employers would face strict penalties for hiring undocumented workers.

But the bill also made any immigrant who'd entered the country before 1982 eligible for amnesty -- a word not usually associated with the father of modern conservatism.

Who granted Amnesty?

Homelessness...didn't I see a movie about that recently? From the 1930s?

Charlie Chaplin was known for a tramp character, wasn't he?

And everyone but the most blind can admit what a dismal failure THAT was.

Tramp roamed, hobos hopped trains and the downtrodden looked for odd work.

Shitting in the street and setting up a tent to be a personal opium den? Seems slightly different to me
