America is already awake. Every poll I've ever seen shows a majority of every race, creed and color of American citizen are against illegal immigration.
It's our politicians that are the problem.
We need to throw most of them out.
Ok, the polls say we're pi$$ed - and I don't mean it in the British way!
But, when will be pi$$ed enough to make our politicians actually hear us?
"We need to throw most of them out."
I disagree. We need to throw all of them OUT!!! We need to elect a completely new Congress. We need to remove ALL judges and start over with all new ones. I know this will never happen, but that is what is needed to make America better and more effective.
That is not going to happen, we are not going to throw out any politicians, and the politicians aren't going to listen to us.
You see, the GOP leadership knows we'll keep voting for them. If they were to take a firm stance against it, they risk losing a few voters here and there, and after 2000, we can't risk losing any votes.
Believe me, it makes me angry, living in a border state, but the reality is, I have to accept it, because I sure as hell don't want Kerry to win the election.
A while back, my stance was that maybe it would be better if a lot of us voted for somebody other than Bush and throw the election to Kerry, because it might force the GOP to return to its roots in 2008, and get a much more Conservative candidate.
After a lot of thought and discussion here on FR, and reading a lot of other comments, if Bush were to lose, I think we'd get an even more moderate candidate. We just have to suck it up and hope that another 9/11 doesn't happen as a result.
Don't you see the contradiction in your statement? We won't be awake until we start throwing the pols out in wholesale lots!
Apologies, I missed your closing line somehow. (The dementia strikes at odd times.)
And the damn judges that tie the hands of law enforcement.
