Oh yeah not a peep about Kerry's proposal which is amnesty. Why the silence on Kerry? Oh that's right the Birchers don't think that the democrats are the real political adversaries, nebermind.
What specifically did you disagree with?
I know you didn't ask me, but I disagree with the hyperbole, innuendo, and the silence in the article about the demos political positions on immigration.
Because conservatives expect Kerry to sell out U.S sovereignty, and award law-breaking illegals with Amnsesty.
The GOP's own Dubya? Now that's a surprise. Unless YOU expected Dubya to do so from the get-go?

Sorry I am not going to take your Bircher hyperbole bait. Bush with his giving the UN the finger in regards to Iraq has shown that he cares deeply about US sovereignty. He is trying to fix a problem that has been ignored for years and it is not a simple problem to solve with a neighbor the US shares a 2,000 mile border with.
You can go on with your simplistic rants and idolization of the Birchers. I will disagree with them.
I am irrelevant. So are my neighbors. Apparently that is what Dubya and most of the rest of the weasels in Washington have decided. We live in what the Border Patrol calls the Naco Corridor.
Here’s a quote from this article:
Naco Station agents took 28,967 into custody for the first four months of the current federal fiscal year, which is a 114 percent increase over the 13,525 apprehended for the same period in the previous budget year.
The apprehension rate is not up because the Naco Station received any reinforcements in personnel or equipment. Apprehensions are up because the number of people jumping the border fence has skyrocketed ever since elected and appointed leaders started mumbling about the scamnesty that ain't an amnesty.
That number -- 28,967 -- doesn't look that frightening, does it? Well, the Border Patrol agents here estimate they only catch one in five. Right now a lot of them think that estimate is optimistic. So, if 28,967 were caught, then 115,868 got away. If that continues, the number of gotaways here in the Naco Corridor alone will hit 347,604 by the end of this fiscal year.
The Naco Corridor only includes 20 miles of the Mexican border. That’s only 1.1% of the border.
Next, you might want to peruse this article. It lays out the details of Dubya's proposed budget for FY 2005 for ICE and BCP. Note that this is mainly for the period after his re-election. There is no mention of any additional funding for controlling our leaky border or for enforcement action against the scumbags who illegally employ illegal aliens, thus enticing them to come here. This is an evil omen.
The nightly invasion through my home will apparently continue unabated regardless of whose fanny is warming the chair in the Oval Office. My neighbors and I will continue to see our property vandalized or stolen, our houses invaded, vehicles stolen, friends and relatives attacked, our surroundings trashed -- but what the hell, it is for the Good of the Party so we shouldn't complain, should we?
As I said, Dubya and the weasels in Washington have decided that the 60,000 Americans who live in the Naco Corridor are irrelevant. We are simply a statistical pimple on the southwest ass end of America. It’s a very small matter if we suffer as long as everyone else gets cheap lettuce and cheap lawn care.
I will vote in November, as will most of my neighbors; there are some local and state candidates who have earned our vote. However, my conscience will not bother me a bit if I leave the top portion blank or write in another candidate. After all, I am irrelevant. My vote may as well be irrelevant, too.
BTW have you proven yet that Bush critics are closet Dem supporters?
Of course not. You just rely on innuendo and hyperbole.
I know you didn't ask me, but I disagree with the hyperbole, innuendo, and the silence in the article about the demos political positions on immigration.
This is specific? LOL!
Ah, so what shall we be named then, "The American Union"..or perhaps "The Mexican Union"? Maybe pesos will be our new monitary system.
Perhaps they'll make a contest and some good "union" citizen will win a prize to name it.
I cannot believe that there are those here that will defend any of this "it's not an amnesty" crappola. I'll take a bullet for George Bush because he's a lot more important to the endurance of this republic than I'll ever be. But like one of my kids, I'll tell him when he's wrong...and he's wrong on this one.
There is always someone ready to "defend the indefenceable".
Congress needs to bury this amnesty plan.
