And people were SO pissed off about this they ran to the polls and fired the ONLY people in DC, the US House Republican, who were serious about Border Security.

The irony of this would be wildly funny if the cosequences for out Country were not so serious.

It's a shame (and I voted Republican, just in case anyone feels they need to say I did otherwise) but it was completely predictable. I'm not psychic and I said I thought it would happen.

Bzzzzzzzz! Sorry...wrong again, Johnny Boy. According to Numbers USA, while 11.5% of Pubbies lost their House seats, only 6.7% of Tom Tancredo's reform caucus lost theirs. Sounds to me like those who are serious about doing something to stop the invasion lost at a lower rate than the RINOs as a whole.

So what flavor Kool-Aid is it tonight? Pubbie Punch? Bushberry? Rovesberry? Melman Melon?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Why the sudden shift on your part? Nobody pushed the amnesty part than you on FR prior to the election, but now you are spreading defeatest talk.

"And people were SO pissed off about this they ran to the polls and fired the ONLY people in DC, the US House Republican, who were serious about Border Security."

As I have said to you in previous posts, MANY people are very angry about nothing being done to stop invaders from wrecking their towns and taking jobs away from them.

I agree that voting for Dems is an irrational response if this is your number one issue, but angry, fearful people are often NOT RATIONAL and just want to strike out at those offending them.

Like Susie said, it was entirely predictable!

Why GWB and the Senate are so damn politically tone deaf escapes me. (Although I believe I have a clue)

Forget about Iraq and spending. Given the number of people adversely affected by illegal immigration, this issue alone had the potential to bring down the Rep majority.

If you spit in someones face, don't be surprised when they kick your ass.

Before you ask, I voted straight GOP as I always do.
