The (Republican) party's over

Vox Day made the point during Bush's first term that he thought George Delano would do more damage to the Republican Party and conservatives than any Democrat could do. It turns out that he was entirely correct.

I'm not particularly interested in rubbing the White House's latest treachery in the faces of the Three Monkey Republicans, who are finally beginning to see and hear a little of the evil that has always been readily apparent in George W. Bush. What's more interesting than the fact that this latest attempt at a Mexican migration amnesty should seal the deal on Hillary Clinton's inauguration is the possibility that we may finally be witnessing the beginning of the end of the Republican Party.
This is far from certain, of course, as politics tend to swing back and forth like a pendulum, if rather less predictably. It's always possible that the Lizard Queen might overstep herself like she did at the beginning of her husband's presidency and revitalize the twitching corpse of the GOP. But although she is tone-deaf, Hillary isn't stupid, and I would be very surprised if she demonstrates a failure to learn from her previous blunders.
The president's Mexican migration plan could spell the end of the Republican Party in two different ways. The first is the obvious one, which is that Mexicans are significantly to the left of even moderate Republicans, as can be seen by examining the ideologies of Mexico's three major political parties, the National Action Party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party and the Party of the Democratic Revolution. Although PAN is considered to be the "conservative" party, it rejects adherence to right-wing principles in favor of the "adoption of such policies as correspond to the problems faced by the nation at any given moment."
(Column continues below)
In other words, it's the pragmatic party, similar to the Bush-Dole-Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party. Mexico has a parliamentary system, so although PAN's Calderón won the 2006 election, he did so with only 36 percent of the vote. That's why Republican support from Hispanics has never broken 40 percent, which means that granting amnesty to 12 million Mexicans likely means at least 8 or 9 million more Democratic voters in 2012.
The second and more intriguing possibility is that conservatives finally realize the pragmatists who run the party can no longer be trusted and leave. This is becoming ever more obvious, as the Republican commentariat and party elites support pro-abortion, pro-migration, pro-foreign intervention presidential candidates while the only pro-life, anti-migration, pro-American Constitution candidate, Ron Paul, is subject to constant attacks meant to marginalize and silence him.
Ronald Reagan is dead. There's no longer anything conservative about the Republican Party. It is merely the Democratic Party's away jersey. So stand up for your principles for once in your life and leave the sinking ship to the moderates and pragmatists. Yes, Hillary Clinton will win in 2008, but she's going to win anyhow thanks to Iraq and immigration. Console yourself with the thought of how after eight more years of Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton rule, the nation will be more than ready to embrace real conservatives and a party genuinely devoted to human life, human liberty and the American people.
If you're still not sure – if you're still not entirely convinced that the Republican Party is not on your side in any way, shape or form – then consider the following news excerpt from the Boston Globe about the migration amnesty:
A provision requiring payment of back taxes had been in the initial version of a bill proposed by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat. But the administration called for the provision to be removed due to concern that it would be too difficult to figure out which illegal immigrants owed back taxes.
