Republic Resident Robb Misguided toward Reid

I apologize for the alliteration, but I couldn't resist. So our resident dying breed moderate Republican, Robert Robb (Arizona Republic) wants to blame Reid for the failure of the immigration bill here. It is an interesting theory and by interesting I mean wrong and kind of stupid. Maybe (I don't want to go out on a limb here), it is the fact the Republicans are apoplectic about immigration in general? Maybe it is the fact Mr. Robb, that your party is filled with extremists that long ago stopped being rational actors intent on improving their country. Maybe, Reid would not have to pull the bill if a couple more Republican votes could be wrangled, but we all know the chances of that... Your party would rather operate in the world of myth: evolution is just a theory, global warming doesn't exist, deficits don't matter, we are winning the war in Iraq and we will just deport 12 million people because they are "law breakers". Your party's simplistic view of the world is the problem. Instead of attacking Harry Reid for trying to do the right thing and carry your President's water on the issue (because Republicans could not pass it during nearly six years of one party rule), maybe Mr. Robb you should look inward. The Republican Party is broken and to use the parlance of your party, bad for America. This was not always the case, but certainly is now...
