The solution is to round 'em up and get 'em the f out. Then finish the fence.
"There is a lesson here for Republicans in the coming elections, but I am sure they are too obtuse and arrogant to get it. They think the voters of Herndon and California 50th are just too stupid. They will learn come November just how smart they are."
Let's not forget about football god Tom Osborne losing the primary in Nebraska because of his pro-illegal stance. And longtime incumbent RINO Cannon is in a runoff due to his love of illegals. They sure as hell better be taking notes. There's a collective Popeye chant out there from "We the People". That's all we can stands and we can't stands no more.
Why is it that Bush claims that he has already rounded up and deported 6 million illegals but that he can't deport 12 million. IF he kept up deporting at the rate that he claimed he has deported illegals, he'd be half way there by now.
Trying to confuse mislead us.
Newt Gingrich on the election of Congresman Bilbray. He may take note of it.
There are three big lessons to be learned from the dynamics that drove this election.
1. Independence and a willingness to stand up for the folks back home overcame President Bush's low approval rating. Ultimately, 2006 is not a presidential election and it will not be a referendum on the President if Republicans go home and do their job of representing the values and concerns of the people who elect them.
2. Fighting to control the border and defend the American people on illegal immigration (the House position) really works. Amnesty (the Senate bill) was clearly repudiated by Republican voters.
3. However dissatisfied Republican voters are with Washington, when they realize the Democrat is a Nancy Pelosi-Howard Dean liberal they turn against them. This means that Republican candidates this fall must be prepared to make their liberal Democrat opponents bear the burden of their positions. The Democrats cannot be allowed to hide their ideology. Remember, the Democrat had 44% in the first round and Bilbray had 15%. Busby couldn't break out beyond her liberal base. She was simply too liberal.
This can be the story again and again this fall. Republicans are not perfect but liberal Democrats are unacceptable as an alternative.
Finally, people should also note that Congressman Tom Reynolds and his team at the NRCC did their job when it really mattered. They won. By contrast, despite all the recent positive press, the DCCC chairman Congressman Rahm Emanuel and his team invested a lot of resources and lost.
This guy's for welfare for illegals, anchor babies, and "a path of citizenship".....BUT, "...I do not support illegal immigration,...". How insulting to read.
Also, where was Congress when the number of illegal aliens was only 1 million? 2 million? 3 million? 4 million? 5 million? 6 million? 7 million? 8 million? 9 million? 10 million? 11 million? Does anyone else believe 12 million is a low ball number?
