Open Letter to the GOP

I'm sure not sick of seeing the immigration issue. The House has the right idea about border and immigration reform that reflects the clear majority of American thought on it. Not the Senate, and to a lesser degree, Bush, though as time goes by, he seems to be slowly coming around to the position of most Americans. The only people I know personally who are sick of hearing about the immigration and border control issue, are democrats who know it's a losing issue for them, because they know that most Americans want REAL border security, ala J.D. Hayworth and Tom Tancredo, and want illegals deported, PERIOD. Then the number of uninsured "Americans" will drop by over half, and the education system will be undercrowded over night. THAT is what most Americans want, and therefore most Democrats don't want to really talk about it, because they know that Conservative Republicans are the ones that reflect the majority line of thought among the American people. That's how I see it anyway. But what do I know? I'm just a mean spirited conservative. :)

Yesterday Tom Delay refused to predict who would control Congress after the November election but, between the lines, suggested that the Repubs know they are going to lose both houses.

If you're talking about his interview on H&C, DeLay said that if the elections were held today, the GOP might lose the House.

Of course, the elections are not being held today, and, Novak notwithstanding, the odds are very good that the Republicans will hold on to both houses.

The Democrats cannot be trusted with national security, and this election will be successfully nationalized.

The House has the right idea about border and immigration reform that reflects the clear majority of American thought on it.

The clear majority of Americans want strong border enforcement AND a way to deal with those already here. Mike Pence has the right approach, and his plan will become the basis for any negotiations between the House and Senate.

[mysterio]

Pence's plan is amnesty and a path to citizenship. Under his plan, they miss a week of work. They keep their jobs, and the corporations that have been breaking the law to hire them get amnesty as well.

If they give me amnesty to steal fuel, then I support Pence amnesty. Stealing fuel would make my job much more profitable, and if we are going to let everyone break a law permanently, that's the one I want to break.

[sinkspur]

Pence's plan is amnesty and a path to citizenship.

It clearly is not, but your boy Tancredo says it is, so you'll believe him.

You have no alternative to it, mysterio. There are not going to be mass deportations, and politicians are going to have to deal with hundreds of businesses and farmers who need the guest workers to survive.

They vote too, remember?

[mysterio]

I don't want deportations. I want the corporations and individuals who hire illegals fined.

I just said I'm willing to support Pence amnesty if you let me steal fuel. I know a lot of people who vote and who would really be helped by fuel stealing amnesty. We need it to maximize our profits.

[Volunteer]

I agree with the letter writer.

I vote Republican because I think a limited Government works better for the people. I don't like Teddy the U-Boat Captain writing an education bill.

I am 100% in favor of getting the bad guys and I truly do not give a rip whose feelings we hurt in doing it. So, when I get searched getting on a plane instead of the 2 Arab gents in front of me it makes me think that Homeland Security is more worried about Political Correctness rather than getting the job done. Both houses of Congress and the White House and this was the best that could be done?

I have friends deployed overseas in some rather nasty places. I truly believe they are doing the right thing. So, why does the GOP now have members "getting nervous about the service"? If you Support the troops, then you support the mission. That's it, end of story. If I can explain it to antiwar, dope addled professors - surely the GOP leadership and understand it. How about a "come to Jesus meeting" with some of the RINO folks and explain to this to them?

OK do not contribute to the Republican National Committee.

I will not contribute this year because, well they have turned against the base people who brung them to the big dance.

However, the alternative to electing another Republican is a choice between two extreme differences.

An extreme liberal Democrat, who will probably finish off any semblance of traditional American values

Which means you must pay higher taxes, bury your guns, taxes, give up smoking, taxes, remove all crosses from view, require abortions in any hospital, taxes, ride a Chinese bicycle to work, pay higher taxes, dismantle the military, create 60 million new Spanish speaking citizens, pay higher and higher taxes, apologize for every conceived mistake over the last 230 years, pay reparations, pay even higher taxes, teach diversity, eat veggie foods and the list goes on into infinity.

Oops did I mention, pay higher taxes.

On the other hand, a RINO Republican who may hold the line until traditional Republicans can replace the current out of control leadership.

Anyone who thinks there is a third party candidate out there who can beat the Democrats must still be on a Crack high.

Personally, after hearing Melmans take about the split on immigration as nothing more than a few disgruntled dissenters tells me that the Republican leadership needs either a boot up their blind butts or a complete replacement.


The SPIN coming out of the RNC is vomit provoking at best.

The MSM likes to paint Karl Rove as a boy genius.

It is necessary for the MSM to classify him as a genius because how else could their beloved Democrat party have been beaten like a drum.

Karl may be a genius but really, any old dumb butt politician from the sticks could have told the RNC how to kick liberal butt.

Just go back to our traditional values of God, Country and the American way.

"Why has the President consistently refused to address the problem of the massive flow of illegal aliens from across our southern border and, at the same time, advocated what everyone knows is an amnesty proposal few Americans want?"

I beg to differ per the statement above.

Mike Pence sells out

05/05/2006...ROFLMAO! PATHETIC! Illegal immigration is specifically mentioned in the article. See below:

"Why has the President consistently refused to address the problem of the massive flow of illegal aliens from across our southern border and, at the same time, advocated what everyone knows is an amnesty proposal few Americans want?"

Folks are simply choosing to discuss the Illegal Alien Shamnesty Bill mentioned in the article. We are still allowed to discuss something specifically mentioned in an article aren't we?

The stealth amnesty of Rep. Mike Pence

Educate yourself for starters on Illegal Immigration.

How about Thomas Sowell? Youv'e heard of him right?

[Amelia]

I think Mr. Caruba pretty much read my mind.

[sinkspur]

I've read all that. It's largely hysteria. And this is one of the very few times that Thomas Sowell is just flat wrong.

Even Tancredo supported a guest worker program in 2003, but abandoned it when he decided that he'd rather have the immigration issue go unresolved.

[conservativecorner]

Everyone is wrong but you even if their intellect and reasoning are well respected by all. To you I would say, "the emperor has no clothes", or get a clue already.

[conservativecorner]

Do you have documentation that Tancredo favored an amnesty plan in 2003? If so, please share it with us.
