So does everyone who wants immigartion restricted to pre 1965 levels and wants fair trade a Paleo-con?

No. As Arne pointed out you have many like-minded brothers in the 'rat party.

There are people who value their culture, value the constituion and value stability, they are not anti military isolationists that some self described "Paleos" are.

Yes. They are called Neo-Cons...or just Republicans.

I reject the notion that Wallace Democrats gave us 54 seats in the House and nine seats in the Senate in 1994.

The brutal truth is you vastly overestimating the power of the fringe right wing. Like the Greens, Paleos are 3%-5% of the voting population. The reason their posts are widespread on FR is because they have lots of time on their hands while they collect their workman's comp and/or unemployment checks.

The 3rd party Paleos never vote Republican, so they can whine about our country with a clean conscience and say "I didn't vote for this President. It is not my fault." They have done nothing for this country except give Republicans a bad name and elect 'rats.

I am enjoying the 'smell' of fear that I am begining to detect in yall neocons posts. I think yall are just starting to realize that New World Order president is in serious trouble and many the folks that actually believe in the constitution and the founding fathers vision of a Repulic might be right.

Yall have delievered the nation to the marxists and yall were to stupid to even know it.

Even the Gore democrats know that the Greens cost them the election by not voting for Gore --- who still came very uncomfortably close to winning. The Paleos (Conservatives) stuck with the party unlike the Greens who decided third party was the way to go. I don't know if the Greens will continue to grow or reunite with the Democrats in the next election. I guess the Greens would still be called a fringe party --- but the democrats did learn not to underestimate the power of taking their candidate's votes.

Look at where most of the GOP gains from the house and senate came from in the 94 election, it was from the South and rural/small city North. The people that switched their votes from Democratic downballot to GOP were not white collar professionals, who have in fact been drifting away from the GOP since the late 80s, but it was white southreners and in the north, the largely Catholic white working class. This was largely the group that supported Wallace in 68, and continued to vote heavily Democratic downballot untill 94. Again, without the "Wallace Democrats" the GOP would be a less than 2-1 minority in congress.

Also, you and Arnie are a VERY small minority among people who vote GOP who want immigration at continued high levels. 2/3 of Americans want immigration dramatically reduced, and my guess is that among GOP voters, that number is between 80%-90%.
