"If by doing something about it, you mean writing letters, withholding funds, or writing letters-to-the editor, fine.
If you mean voting for a third party or a democrat, not so fine. In fact, pfui."

And there is a wide gulf between criticism aimed at Bush from conservatives and liberals. Not voting for a man who was consistently governed from the left does not automatically make you a liberal.

What will it take for me to vote for Bush in 04?

Repudiation of the immigration plan from the White House. Not "letting it die in secret," not tweaking it and calling it a "revised plan." Outright repudiation of the plan will be my litmus test. Bush has yet to do that - he's still defending the )(#*%! thing.

See, I'm a second generation legal immmigrant who grew up in Texas. I've seen the illegal alien invasion ruin the quality of life in my hometown. So despite Bush's protests to the contrary, I know what this is about.

If I had wanted to live in Mexico, I would have gone there.

I am a committed and loyal Republican. Those who threaten voting third party, or for John Kerry, will not meet with my approval. I am quite up front with my position. If you don't like it, too bad.

When he'd deported the 11 millionth illegal. I expect him to enforce the law, not subvert it.
