Instead of alienating many freepers with lectures, you should be encouraging the President and Confress to pass a ENFORCEMENT FIRST bill in both the house and senate. Then the GOP would not have to be concerned at possible poor conservative turn out.

If fear of the democrats is the only arguement you have, it won't fire up a portion of the base that has just about had enough.

You fire that portion of the base up by passing an ENFORCEMENT FIRST BILL,
Then you start cutting out of control spending etc. etc.

In other words, you, as the head of the "Base", have decided that unless your get your way, to h#ll with everything else. Well, guess what, there isn`t going to be an enforcement first bill, not with this Congress, and not with the next. Ain`t going to happen. That`s the real world, and if you can`t deal with that, I`m sorry.
So now, what are YOU going to do? Hide under the bed? Let the Rats win the next election? As for fear of the Rats, you better believe I`m afraid of them. I sure don`t want the Kerrys of this world running things.
