Here's the new flag that needs hoisting.

The open borders elitists of the WSJ at it again.

No worry. The editors of the WSJ are safe behind the walls of their gated communities.

Not only that, the RINO Rockefellers are perfectly content to let the muddle-class bafoons subsidize their cooks, house keepers and that real cute nanny from San Salvador...

I have been a straight party voter since I was old enough to vote. It's not just the issue of illegal immigration, its the attitude that those in power take with those of us who want the border closed to illegal entry. Its the same attitude every liberal I have ever debated with has used. They may as well call us nazi's or at least xenophobes. These are some of our elected leaders who act this way and definitely some of the conservative talking heads in Washington.

Bob Dole won 21% of the Hispanic vote in 1996, Mr. Bush improved that to 35% in 2000 and again to 44% in 2004.

...but, but some of them held a rally and some of the protestors waived Mexican flags. Surely this means that the 20+ million hispanics who came to this country to live a better life represent an immanent threat to our sovereignty. /s

Shills for the President and the elites of both parties.

Next year, they are in for a rude awakening when a democratic controlled congress starts to tax the heck out of them. And the social conservatives don't back this 3% of the population.

Why does everyone think it is the House that is going to be hurt, most of the Republican Congress members have gone on record as supporting deportation.

It is the Senate that may lose a few seats, because they are not listening, not the House.

How do we prevent this hostile takeover from becoming a reality?

If the GOP becomes the party of Tom Tancredo, it's no longer the party for me.

Now the WSJ is trying to claim that Ronald Reagan was a pro-open borders, pro-illegal immigration, one-worlder?!!

Ronald Reagan had respect for the rule of law. He had that 1986 amnesty forced down his throat by a Liberal Democrat congress.

Bush doesn't have that excuse!

Go, Tancredo, Go!

To wit, do Republicans want to continue in the Reagan tradition of American optimism and faith in assimilation that sends a message of inclusiveness to all races? Or will they take another one of their historical detours into a cramped, exclusionary policy that tells millions of new immigrants, and especially Hispanics, that they belong somewhere else?...

'Inclusiveness' carried to its logical extreme.

Just how many illegal aliens does the WSJ think America can handle? The twenty million plus we have now?

The 50 millions more that will come if they succeed in passing another disastrous amnesty now?

100 million?

A billion?

Everyone left on the planet?

The Libertarian Party is always round.

The LP lost what support I had for it, when they advocated surrendering to Bin Laden.

The writer's language gives him away: He's an anti-conservative elitist.

'Inclusiveness'?

'Migrants'?

'Chauvinist conservatism'?

Sheesh...

What do you have against Tom T., my friend?

You haven't been listening to the slander of his enemies, have you?

Well, actually, they do.

There can be no sovereignty without borders.

This election will be the last chance for the GOP to be the vehicle to do so. If the Party of Money succeeds in forcing an open borders, outsourcing, corporate RINO on us, then we will have no choice but to go third party.
