Posted under Election 2008 & Immigration & John McCain & Obama
The immigration expert and editor of VDARE, Peter Brimelow writes:
Obama and McCain are both appalling on immigration. But McCain is worse, because he might be able to get through an amnesty, whereas without bipartisan support, I don’t think Obama will dare.
Coming from a prominent immigration activist like Brimelow, this should cause conservatives leaning towards McCain to reconsider.

Nevertheless, Steve guesses that an Obama first term will be cautious. He suggests that Obama’s true radicalism will not emerge until after his re-election in 2012.I disagree. I think the contradictions that Steve has identified in this book will turn any Obama Presidency into a four-year O.J. Simpson trial and that the consequent melt-down will compare to the Chernobyl of the Carter Presidency in its destructive partisan effects.
I can’t wait.
But regardless of which of us is right, the fact is that Obama’s candidacy has achieved one thing at least: it provoked a Steve Sailer book.
So it can’t be all bad.
Such a hope isn’t enough to motivate Brimelow to vote two party though.

Other news: Steve Sailer’s America’s Half-blood Prince is finally available from VDARE (for free download or physical book purchase) with a forward by the same Peter Brimelow.
About the book:
In the U.S., Barack Obama turns out to be a man of the left who seeks to use government to redistribute wealth to his own race, but who has sought white support because he has found he is perceived as not really “black enough” to be a black leader—greatly to his distress. The evidence for this is Obama’s own memoir, which is very honestly subtitled A Story of Race and Inheritance. Steve Sailer says: “This isn’t a debate between Barack Obama and some guy named Steve. My book is, fundamentally, a debate between Barack Obama and his own autobiography. I’m just emceeing that debate.”

I agree. I think it will be easier for McCain to twist arms to get amnesty.

(PB: whereas without bipartisan support, I don’t think Obama will dare.)
I think it depends on how the history of Obama’s victory is written and how the “new America” is talked about. Will McCain’s defeat be attributed in part to his representing the nasty racist party that defeated amnesty last time?

Do not underestimate the power of the “Diebold Electronic Voting Machine”?

The problem is…with all three houses of power under liberal/Socialist rule, President Obama will be tempted to ram thru whatever he wants…and there won’t be any way of stopping him unless the conservatives still left in the House and garner enough Blue Dogs to defeat the next Amnesty try (come Feb.?).
