Re: "It's political suicide, how stupid can they be..."

What is 'political suicide'?

These things that Dick Armey said in his speech at the Washington Press Club?

* The Republican Party is "clinically inept" and has a knack for alienating what should be its core constituencies. "This is a party that was born with the Emancipation Proclamation and can't get a black vote to save its life."

* Republicans need to "get over the goofiness" on immigration. "Now that we've identified the fastest-growing voting group in America, let's go out and alienate them," said Armey, referring to Hispanics. As majority leader, he said, he tried to muzzle his party's leading immigration opponent, Rep. Tom Tancredo.

"Ronald Reagan said 'tear down this wall.' Tom Tancredo said, 'Build this wall,' " said Armey, referring to the Colorado Republican's support for a fence along the U.S.-Mexican border. "America is not a nation that builds walls."
