The stakes of this election are incredibly high, not just for our candidate, John McCain, but for the very existence of the Republican Party.


Am I exaggerating the potential consequences of this election?


Decide for yourself. Consider that Barack Obama has called for the amnesty of all 12 million of the nation’s illegal aliens.


If he sweeps to power with a Democratic Congress, especially a filibuster-proof Senate, he will be able to put into effect an ambitious liberal agenda – perhaps more bold than FDR’s New Deal and LBJ’s Great Society.


Obama has made clear his intentions, including on the issue of amnesty and citizenship for undocumented aliens.


Earlier this year he told the pro-immigrant group La Raza:


“Yes, they broke the law. And we should not excuse that. We should require them to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for citizenship - behind those who came here legally. But we cannot - and should not - deport 12 million people.â€
