[The Mayor]

Bump!

[The_Eaglet]

He dumps conservatives with every socialistic spending increase, too.

[browardchad]

BUMP!

[Missouri]

PING.

First CFR, now amnesty for illegals. He is certainly having a good year. The folks in Arizona need to find a replacement.

Now I know the definition of “compassionate conservative:” a person who campaigns as a conservative, then sells out key conservative principles.

Yep...that's right. I can't believe all the time I waqsted and how wrong I was in 1999 and 2000 when I was defending the idea of "Compassionate Conservatism". What a crock!

[ImpBill]

Laura has it right!

"Now I know the definition of “compassionate conservative:” a person who campaigns as a conservative, then sells out key conservative principles."

In a word - ModerRAT

Bump. One of the 50 or so immigration threads I hope to read.

Keep up the pressure.

[skeeter]

Another listener wonders: ?What happened to the ?party of principle??

It got sick in the mid eighties, when it moved into the 'big tent', and became terminal when in became 'kinder & gentler'.

Today the GOP is like the corpse in 'Weekend at Bernies', being driven around by a couple of smart*sses calling themselves 'fiscal republicans'.

[kellynla]

ping and according to The San Diego Union Tribune:

Illegal immigrants cost the taxpayers $20 billion every year.

34 percent of legal Mexican immigrants are on welfare right now.

25 percent of illegals are as well.

This number will rise with the amnesty.

Most illegals are willing to work hard, but as the numbers prove, millions are not.

[Visalia]

Bush to Republicans: "Read my lips. No new illegals."

[billbears]

Now I know the definition of “compassionate conservative:” a person who campaigns as a conservative, then sells out key conservative principles.

That is the best definition of compassionate conservatism I have seen yet. And so true. Bush has done little in defense of conservative values. Never mind the foreign policy, the big government policy and now the 'not-an-amnesty' amnesty are further proof the Republican party could care less about values and more about getting elected

I know some are asking us to hang in there for the judges and I can respect that opinion. The idea that perhaps Bush could possibly shake off his current advisory board of PNAC lackeys and get real conservatives for replacements is worth thinking about. However if it doesn't happen don't be suprised if many conservatives that feel betrayed, and rightly so, vote for someone else or stay at home

[avalon]

I don't know what Bush is doing here. He is dead wrong on this immigration issue, IMHO. Hope I don't get in trouble for posting this.

As usual, Laura Ingraham is RIGHT ON about this.

[Zipporah]

I certainly cannot disagree with Laura.. I watched Lou Dobbs on CNN: Vicente Fox .." we will go for more, we will go for more"... Fox envisions borderless nations patternedafter the EU." Seems Bush is complicit with Fox's plan for 21st century Mexico with this proposal. Tancredo was a guest and stated that although he is a good republican and supports the president, that he will not put his loyality to the Republican party and the president before America.

[Dane]

And what is Laura's solution, deport 8 million people, the vast majority of those that do a hard days work, such as clean toilets.

Laura, JMO, but the model you are hinting at in deporting people was used once already in recent modern history, and that was by nazi germany.

You can count me out Laura.

[SAMWolf]

[putupon]

Nail 'em Laura; the ladies rock!

[Kay Soze]

Before this issue the major diff between us and them was defense of the US.

We cannot talk any longer debate our now shared views on big govt and welfare/medicare.

OK!

How does this immigration program make US safer?

"When this country had problems trying to properly identify a few thousand people, how is it going to do the same with a few million?"

"They said only 2,000 agents are available to review the millions of applicants that might be submitted."
