Pelosi's choice

Will Democrats have to ditch immigration or climate change legislation? What will be the political fallout?

Two of the highest pre-Election Day priorities of congressional Democrats are immigration reform and climate change legislation. But election year political realities are setting in as key lawmakers are suggesting only one may be possible. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), says his partnership with Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on climate change legislation may be imperiled if an immigration overhaul comes up for a vote before November.

“This comes out of left field,â€

Is this really a zero-sum legislative game? If so which issue would Democrats benefit more from politically? What would be the political damage of ignoring the other priority?

Now here's a concept. Quit worrying about your damn elections and do the right thing for the people and secure the border and enforce our immigration laws!!

Sorry, but don't hold your breath. Both parties are guilty of ignoring the American people in order to gain political power.
