Yeah, I agree but Boxer doesn't have the faintest idea why being called a "snake" is a bad thing, is my point, but she sure does try for mileage by using concepts she abhores.

Snake is satan, being turned into a snake is punishment by God for falling from grace. Somehow hearing Boxer try to capitalize on the concept involved and then say with dark righteousness that she (as does Feinstein say) campaigned upon and was elected to support abortion rights...and then call Republicans "snakes" as if she respects the judgement of God. It's just piling on the blasphemy upon the blasphemous by a blasphemor. Disgusting parody in her statement.

"... and cracking down on Mexican immigration the wat activists want would drive Mexican-Americans straight over to the Democrats."

Surely you jest? I think we are all for "Mexican immigration," but I feel confident that a solid majority of Americans (both left and right) are opposed to ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS. Talk about a spin-job.
Second of all, Conservatives need to be principled first and foremost: If we loose an election due to a few new arrivals switching sides, we need to be ready to accept that fate. Having principles is our rock-bottom strength compared with vapid relativism, PC-noia of the left. If I am wrong, America, sadly, wasn't worth saving. I'll still have my God and family.

I was wordy, but you have to admit, I made some pretty damned good inferences in the second portion of post #95!

I was a Keyes man, myself, until he flaked out worse than Buchanan.

I was too. I knew he would never win, but I voted for him because he was the only candidate that I could agree with on every issue. I must admit, however, that I am now glad that he didn't win.

Is He One of Us?"

Only if we're politicians.

Read the article. It defines anti-state and anti-left.

Most drunks are bold.

While they're drunk. When they're sober they can be shaky, insecure and passive about things that they used to care about.

AND it's nearly impossible to shut up a drunk while he's drunk.

POTUS is NOT drinking and I'll say it again, it's snarky to give that credence.

So what did you think of my inferences in post 95... pretty straight on, huh?

My thinking too, that with the composition of the SCOTUS at stake, she might be playing her trump cards.

There are illegal aliens in our country from all over the world. There just happen to be more of them using the southern border to do their illegal deeds. And, just because Mexico shares our southern border does not make it alright for people from that land to engage in illegal immigration.

Aplogists for those just want some special privilege for them and damn anyone who raises any questions, much moreso opposition to the exploitation.

Any problems "Mexico" has, it's responsible for. If people are law abiding and honest about who they are and what their intentions are, most Americans, including me, welcome them to the United States and even assist in the process for many.

The issue of Mexico is exploited by some to denigrate Americans. Allows some sort of perceived privilege to ridicule Americans.

Doesn't work since most thinking people know otherwise.

Illegal aliens are responsible for their own behavior and their illegal status is in violation of laws. From wherever they are. But suggesting that holding the majority of offendors responsible represents some sort of undue negativity about them is foolish and it is disrespectful to the very nature of what citizenship means.

I'm really curious how he passes muster. What's your definition of conservative, and how has he met it? Being a Democrat-lite doesn't make someone conservative.

CORRECTION: BUT SUGGESTING THAT NOT HOLDING the majority of offendors responsible represents some sort of undue negativity about them is foolish and it is disrespectful to the very nature of what citizenship means.

Thomas isn't prone to making rash comments. But he has an evil-eye, scornful stare that would do my high-school principle proud.

CORRECTION TWO (last one): BUT SUGGESTING THAT the majority of offendors responsible BE HELD RESPONSIBOLE FOR THEIR ILLEGAL ACTIONS REPRESENTS SOME SORT OF UNDUE NEGATIVITY about them is foolish and it is disrespectful to the very nature of what citizenship means.
