Of course not....He ONLY carps...I was asking what he liked about W and who he voted for. Notice he didn't answer Either of those simple questions.

I'll bet you that Bush wins in a landslide...EVEN Calif and New York!!

> >>What does this mean? Is this another outcry at the horror of allowing a human born in the US to be a citizen, as opposed to undoing that law and managing the population on the basis of genetics?<<

What in the hell are you talking about? Genetics? Name one place where "race" as opposed to "nationality" has been addressed. Take your racist accusations somewhere else. > Genetics. As in who your parents are. Rather than respect the reality of birth on US territory, extremists are advocating limiting citizenship only to offspring of citizens. That, my friend, is genetics.

"I was disappointed that Bush did not unveil a plan to use technology to monitor the borders though."

This plan is already "underconstruction" as part of the SMART BORDERS INITIATIVE (included in the 2003 Homeland Security budget):

Additionally, the biometric technology recently implemented at our airports will be implemented at our borders by the end of this year.

Thank you for your respctive on Ronald Reagan.

He made mistakes and he admitted them.

If there is one word I can use to describe Ronald Reagan, it is RELIABLE.

You always knew where he stood, always knew what he stood for, always knew what he stood against, and you always knew he stood up for right, even when it was not popular.

Regarding President Bush's standings on abortion, gay rights, immigration reform, and protecting American jobs, I regretfully cannot compare his integrity with that of Ronald Reagan.

Dubya is looking more RINO with each passing compromise.

And it remains to be seen just how huge a compromise he succumbed to yesterday over immigration "reform."

I'm not impressed.

If that is your definition of extremist, count me in. Comprende?

Pardon - meant to say, "Thank you for your perspective"

"Regarding President Bush's standings on abortion, gay rights, immigration reform, and protecting American jobs, I regretfully cannot compare his integrity with that of Ronald Reagan."


Forgive me, for I do not understand. President Reagan SAID the RIGHT thing relative to each of these areas and then DID the LEFT thing, yet it's President Bush who has the integrity problem?! I actually listened to Bush when he was governor of Texas and when he was campaigning for the presidency, he has remained "reliably" consistent in his views -- stated AND behaved!

You may disagree with President Bush's policies, but you have NO REASON to question his integrity!

[BikerNYC]

What "left things" did President Reagan do?

[Happy2BMe]

Thank you for your opinion.

I reserve the right to question the integrity of any polititian, regardless of party affiliation or platform, motto or creed if it appears that such person is acting in self-gain or not acting in the best interest of this country.

I reamin unimpressed by Dubya's weak attempt to put a bandaid on a cancer patient, tell him to take two aspirins prior to going to bed, and send him home telling him to come back next month (only if he is not feeling any better).

As I said, compromise is not becoming a great leader - regardless of WHO that leader is.

Wow...awesome.

[org.whodat]

So how familiar are you with the H-2A guest worker program???

I'm a farm bud, who do you think cut's my tobacco?

[DrDeb]

"What "left things" did President Reagan do?"


Please refer to my post at #115!

[If you're a history buff like me, you may already know that President Reagan was attacked incessantly by his right flank, beginning with his tenure as governor of California and continuing thru his Presidency -- Anne Coulter even makes reference to this fact in her most recent book! STRONG LEADERS EVOKE STRONG REACTIONS -- and yes, I'm refering to both President Reagan and President Bush!]

[DrDeb]

I wasn't questioning your "rights"; I was questioning your hypocrisy!

[Happy2BMe]

I am not ALONE

[Tempest]

So are you saying that you've employed the H-2A guest worker program. So how much do you end up paying your workers then and how are their accomadations??? Hmmmmm....

[DrDeb]

Again, I'm not addressing your position on immigration; I'm addressing your hypocritical assessment of President Bush relative to President Reagan!

[hosepipe]

The US has a totally disfunctional INS... not a word about fixing that... What I see is Bush sweeping up the dirt and putting under the homeland security RUG.. and a wipeing of the hands together with the words "and thats that!"...

The only thing missing is a Curley(Howard) salute and a Curly shuffle out of the oval office... and I'M NOT LAUGHING!... WHO elected this guy ?...

(( ME ! )).. leaving out the back door, embarrased

[sarcasm]

If that is your definition of extremist, count me in.

I'll join you.

"What I see is Bush sweeping up the dirt and putting under the homeland security RUG.. and a wipeing of the hands together with the words "and thats that!"...

Did you catch the televised briefing the President gave of his new immigration reform?

I did.

I sensed a great sense of urgency - even a sense of anxiety I've rarely detected in Bush and among his staff.

As he introduced his staff, starting from Secratary of State Colin Powell down to his Homeland Seucrity Secratary, Tom Ridge, I noticed the expressions on the faces of each of these men as they were introduced.

Expressions say many things.

I kept watching the face of one of the president's staff as they were being introduced, in succession of order of precedence according to their jobs.

I have met and conversed with the Secratary of ATF personally, so I focused in on the expression of his face as the names were being called.

It was an expression of remaining calm and almost had the look of not "wanting" to be introduced at this particular briefing.

It was a big deal and all the heavy hitters were there.

The "jitters" were flying and my impression is a "bomb" has exploded right in the middle of the administration and Dubya is doing damage control.
