May well be. As good as anything else.
“Our country, our culture, our respect for the rule of law, our constitutional system that has never been equalled anywhere in history: all are at stake”
And worth fighting for! We must hammer these rogues until they relent!
Prey? Quite likely, though I’ll fight to the end.
I’ll fight to the end, too. I’ve adopted my quip as my tagline...
Rather than b-slap, I think it would be more accurate to call what he is doing as cr*pping on us.
His disdain for our rights and his ad hominum insults are beyond the pale, IMO.
I question the accuracy of describing his motives on the issue of ILLEGALs as honorable. Sorry, I can no longer give him a pass because of presumed “honorable motives”, which are just that, “presumed”.
They should be in any case, becuase this bill scares the hell out of me.
A Conservative, or merely a rational human being, laying out the reasons why opposition to this bill is NOT treason, why it isn't racist, why it isn't the base defecting from some shining hero...is wasting breath.
All the buzz words are in place, in play, and in the president's notes. The debate has been cast by 'bipartisan' elites with only money to be made and debts to be repaid.
There is a war going on, there are imminent threats to both our sovereignty and our economic well being. Our leaders are all wadded up over a means to make MS13 legal and we are all wadded up over stopping that from happening.
(Timing is everything)
Is there a chance of winning when the other side had already defined the playing field?
(Pigs flying, crickets chirping, Kennedy's laughing)
Is it important?
(Of course it is)
Are there other things slipping under the radar while the debate stumbles forward?

If it weren't for bad political instincts the President wouldn't have any at all.
The President isn’t on the ballot again so he doesn’t need our vote. I guess he and KR think they only need to pay back big business.
And won't be won, I'm sure. Just read an old story today about the use of railroad tanker cars being used to transport drugs. Here's a link:

Very good article, a well stated summary of how I feel about this. He was a bit too kind to those who support this, but I think David Limbaugh was trying to take the high road, which is better than how The President is handling it by trying to demonize those of us who oppose him.
Too bad The President didn’t devote this much effort to drilling in ANWAR, making the tax cuts permanent, social security reform, and school vouchers....
Being someone who voted for him twice, I feel betrayed. During the campaigns he said he was pro-immigration, which I have no problem with because legal immigration is done in a controlled way, and it’s good for our country. He never said he supported unmitigated lawlessness. This had to be planned with politics in mind too, because Mr. Bush never behaved like this during his first term in office. There is hope. If this legislation can be stopped, Mr Bush really only has 6 months left in office that he can do anything with, because nothing ever gets done in election years. Effectively, his presidency is almost over.
Bush is not a captive, nor is this being foisted on him. Almost his first act as POTUS was to meet with Vicente Fox and promise to work towards open borders. He has never backed off that for a minute, except when faced with overwhelming opposition from the Republican controled House. Now the he has willing partners in the Democrat majoriity he is pushing ahead, and the suckers who elected him can go to hell.
Unfortunately, if this bill goes through, it means the end of our country. And if it goes through, there’s no way in hell it can be reversed.
It must be stopped. I expected something bad, but I honestly never thought it could be as bad as this. It would be far less damaging to our country to pull out of Iraq tomorrow than to pass this bill. And, believe me, I’m not advocating pulling out of Iraq.
The President is slipping in more than the numbers. I really do think he is slipping in the horse pucky the Dems are spreading and sliding right into their side of the aisle.
Because his time is running out. He desperately wants to get the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) put in place before he leaves office. And a large part of that is, in effect, eliminating the border between the US and Mexico. I guess he thinks that will be a great legacy.
If you'd like to read what's in store for us, follow this link, download the .pdf file and begin reading on page 23 which is page one of the report.

Yes, it would be very helpful to have a list of laws where following them is optional.
“The President is slipping in more than the numbers.”
I haven’t heard the President’s poll numbers lately. The MSM used to mention new lows every time he got down to around 33% approval. If that 33% were hardcore conservatives, what are his #s now?
