The Democrats are still not listening to the American people!

The Democratic candidates still don't get it! This article in the Washington Times points out that the clueless Democratic candidates are still ignoring the concerns of many middle class voters on illegal immigration. The very people they want to have vote for them. Here are some of money quotes:
"Democratic candidates remain firmly behind legalization of most illegal aliens. Still, they are almost apologetic as they make their pitches."

Earth to Democratic candidates! You are running for office in a Republic you are supposed to listen to the people who will vote for you!

"You can be in front of a very, very rabid Democratic crowd, and there will be a lot of people in the room who do not agree with what I just said," former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina said earlier this month in a speech at the University of New Hampshire as he defended his support for legalization. "The very same people ... are strongly against the war and strongly for universal health care. So there is nowhere close to unanimity among Democrats about this issue."

Duh!

"Advisers to several candidates said privately that Mr. Richardson is in a good position to attack the other candidates on their support of building more fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border. "

If Bill Richardson is in the best position on illegal immigration the Dems are in trouble. He shot himself in the foot when he called for a pardon for Elvira Arellano an illegal immigrant fugitive hiding in plain sight in a Chicago church. Richardson and the other Democrats had better start to realize that the American people want our immigration laws enforced and and don't want our U.S. politicians to surrender to the Mexican governments pro-illegal immigrant lobby. If they don't show that they can stand up and represent the wishes of the majority of the American people on illegal immigration. Democrats like myself will vote for someone who does!
