"but maybe electing Hillary & Dean is exactly what needs to be done in order to get conservatives w/in the GOP to take their party back'
Destroying the country for those aims is not a viable solution.
Uh you in your reply #31 was saying people who own and run businesses growing/processing food and building building are as inherantly evil as murderers and rapists.
I probably made 100 posts explaining to people who had nothing against legal immigrants, but were against illegal immigrants because "it was illegal" that there was not a lot of difference between Legal and Illegal.
They expect conservatives to accept BOHICA as a way of life? Are they going to play the Hillary card every time someone says something mean to them?
And what of the "Hispanic" vote?
Are Republicans saying that America has to excuse and accept millions and millions of ILLEGAL migrant workers to avoid upsetting Americans of Hispanic origin? That's an insult to those Americans.
I have no idea the country of my origin. It's one of two or three including Ireland. Ireland is a source of many ILLEGAL aliens. Many left recently owing to New York state's crackdown on drivers licenses. Good.
If the President said that we had to accept / excuse ILLEGAL aliens lest we alienate Irish voters I'd be insulted by it.
I'd get the idea that to Republicans I was less of an American than they feeeeeeeeeeel that they are. What a bunch of arrogant jerks. No vote for Hillary Rats but I'd have to wear haz-mat clothing to vote for a mainline Republican.
OMG how awful to fix up our highways. Vote for Hillary!
" How long has it been since you were able to recognize the Republican Party?"
I am 23. I have never reconized the GOP as anything but socialist. There is hope though, we have to lift up the few who are conservative and pray for the best(Pence,Tancredo,
Shadegg,Coburn)
I'll play.
I was talking about the businesses that hire the migrant workers though it's ILLEGAL to do so. Yes, a crime is a crime.
We have found another Reagan.It is Mike Pence of Indiana.It is up to us to spread the word and support Pence and allow his wing of the party to take over.
"Mike is charismatic. He's articulate, but he's not shrill or mean the way some conservatives can be," said Stephen Moore, former president of the Club for Growth, a conservative political action committee. "I think a lot of us are looking around and saying, 'Who is the next great conservative hero? Where is the next Ronald Reagan in our party?' The Committee has 100 members now. That's a high water mark. So it means that all legislation that passes Congress is going to have go through Mike Pence." ...... Pence has shown that he is not afraid to take unpopular stands. In the last Congress, he defied Bush, spearheading Republican opposition to the drug benefit that Bush wanted and speaking against the president's education initiative, No Child Left Behind Act.
"I was concerned that the ship of conservative governance was veering off course into the dangerous uncharted waters of big government Republicanism," Pence said. "

So a business owner who grows/processes food or builds buildings, etc.etc. may hire an employee who shows up everyday, works hard and doesn't cause trouble is akin to a murderer or rapist to you.
...take a couple more hits, bong boy!
Why thank you, that sounds like a wonderful idea...but please don't call me a Libertarian; although I respect the Libertarian Party, I'm not a member anymore. I DO think the "bong boy" name is pretty cool, despite the fact that you meant it in a negative manner. I'll be glad to share a joint w/ you if yon't to...it sounds like it would do you some good.
President Ronald Reagan signed real amnesty(i.e citizenship) in 86.
Presiden Bush has not proposed or supported blanket amnesty, just bringing more order into an already chaotic system
Sens. Kyl/Cornyn have proposed a good bill, it will however get overshadowed by the McKennedy real amnesty bill by the liberal media.
He also said to secure the border(for the amnesty to work) and that a nation without a border is not a nation.
And was the first to propose NAFTA.
Of course they will--but what has the GOP & President Bush done to PREVENT this from happenning NOW, pray tell? Absolutely nothing: the President has actually insulted good folks like the Minuitemen who are trying to do something about this problem, & he is refusing to do his job when it comes to protecting us from foreign invasion.
Big government, open borders, & having the US play the part of being the world's policeman...the Dims & president Bush have a lot more in common than most of our fellow FReepers are willing to admit.
None.
I'm not a Republican. I am not nearly that liberal. The Republics are the new Democrats, and the Democrats are the new Green Party.
There is no such thing as a viable conservative party in this country. It is a myth. I have zero idea why a self-proclaimed "conservative" would call themselves a "republican", unless, like most people .. they have no idea what they are. "Conservative" just sounds like what they are supposed to be if they don't like Democrats. They know not what the real meaning of the word means.
Are you for real?
Above you said that such a claim is a "buchanan/tancredoite arguement."
Got proof?
I agreed with you that one could argue that a crime is a crime. I, like the majority, know that all crime is not the same. Jay walking is not a capital offense, for example.
Where do you think you are going with this? What's the point? Is there a point? TIA.
Where do you think you are going with this? What's the point? Is there a point? TIA
You made your point in the first paragraph of your above italicized passage.
So do I. Although is sounds like Robin to Batman. How about "Bong Man"?
I'm just glad you're not an alcoholic. From what I hear, their worst day sober is better than their best day drunk.
