This is a war and we are the peasants vs. the knights.

They haven't made us peasants yet, but they are trying. 100 million low wage illegals, families naturalized for the naturalized illegals, anchor babies from future illegal immigrants, and the children of all of the above would certainly help them in their program to become our great overlords.

The latest sound bite from Chertoff is that there’s no money to build the fence. The $4.4 billion that was a carrot with the now dead immigration bill,is suddenly gone!
Chertoff, it appears forgets that congress passed the Security Fence Act in 06’ allocating money for over 700 miles of border fence. Chertoff, is on dumb SOB, if he thinks that the American people don’t remember what was said and what was done. Another example of why Bush has no credibility with the American people when it comes to immigration.

A CBS poll showed only 13 percent of those surveyed supported the effort that Bush, Schumer, Graham and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., were making.

I guess Mr. T couldn't bring himself to call the other 87% idiots.

the new media were aided by a number of elements:
2) It was a deeply flawed bill;
3) There had been no hearings on the measure.

Maybe that had something to do with it.

....where’s are the thousands of views and hundreds of replies on the immigration threads? Where’s the fence?

I think that specific politicians, specific actions will get the most looks and response now. Need action items. Everybody knows they despise amnesty, so general articles on it don’t get as many comments, since repetitive.

He's not dumb. He has a different agenda than all those who opposed both bills. Chertoff is a socialist who believes in a new world order like his boss.

Polls show most illegals are voting 70-30/80-20 Democratic

If we KNOW illegals are voting, then why the hell don't we put them in cuffs?

Good catch!

Actually, the reason all those blacks rushed to the Democratic Party is because the vast majority of them lived in the South at the time, and well, back then, voting in a Republican Primary was still a wasted vote. Remained a wasted vote until last decade. It took voters a long time to realize the parties had switched, and it was primarily a generational thing.

My grandfather never voted for a Republican in his life, even after L.B.J. He still viewed the Republican Party as the “party of Lincoln”, even though all evidence suggested otherwise. Then again, he was also born during the Teddy Roosevelt administration. Once again, that was entirely generational.

As it becomes clear that black votes are losing their power in the South because Republican primary winners seem to always win election, you’ll begin to see blacks convert, if just to preserve their vote.

McNamara had a batch of custom made bricks whipped up for use on a house he was building. When he was done there were several hundred leftovers. The contractor kept them for awhile, then one day he advertised them for sale at 2 cents each, which is pretty cheap for a brick.

We ran down in the truck and picked them up. For many years I maintained them as a sidewalk in front of my house, and when me and some of my buddies would get together to drink beer on a hot summer's eve, we'd down the bottles and then pee on McNamara's bricks.

Great story. He was awful - - too bad bloggers weren't around in his day...

How are they going to manage the message in the presidential election, when more and more people out there are looking elsewhere for details?

You sir, and the rest of your compatriots in the lame stream media have sealed your fate by trying to "manage" the debate, trying to "manage" the terms of the debate, and "manage" the outcome of the debate.

We the people have had it with your political correctness, liberalism and unwillingness to admit the failures of your proscriptions.

We no longer need you and your ilk and we can seek news and opinions that reflect a greater truth, and opinions that are unvarnished with political spin.

The Dem party must have an uninformed public to stay in power.

Ron Smith commented this afternoon about a headline in the Sun

“Felons line up at City Hall to register to vote.”

Down in the article comes the actual fact that 7 people were lined up, and one was a relative of a felon. Apparently about 8000 felons are returned to Baltimore streets each year.

The MSM is confounded because it has lost credibility. Americans see it as a Democrat shill. Throughout the battle over the amnesty bill, only the New Media leveled with the American people. And now they're more trusted than ever.
