My NEXT phone call to Senators Voinovich and Brown:
Hello, My name is Kimberly ..... and I would like to leave a message for Senator......
“Oh, its you, again” (I’m just waiting for THAT response!)
Yes, it’s me...I’d like to know if Senator Voinovich is aware that there are far more than 12 million illegal aliens in this country already and it is clear that our government’s use of that number is entirely meant to mislead the public.
“Is that your message?”.
Yes, I resent continuing to be treated as if I’m stupid. Apparently our Senators aren’t aware that Homeland Security has reported that 10 million illegal aliens entered the country just last year alone?
“That it?”
No. Actually, it isn’t...I’d also like you to give this message to Senator V. as well, so please take this down....Senator V., are you aware that according to the 2000 census, 18,785,867 was the total populations combined of Wyoming, Dist of Columbia, Vermont,...are you writing this down?
“Yes ma’am”
Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Delaware.
“Is there more”
Yes. Montana, Rhode Island, Hawaii, and New Hampshire. Are you still writing this down?
“Yes mam”
Maine, Idaho, Nebraska, West Virgina, New Mexico AND AND Nevada. Now, can you read that message back to me, I’d like to make certain that before Senator Voinovich passes AMNESTY for illegal aliens, that he knows EXACTLY the extent to which he is destroying this country. Go ahead, I’m listening....
Oh, that’s perfect, Kimberly!
Basically what we’re talking about is building infrastructure on demand for the population of at LEAST 17 STATES!
You know all those jobs everyone keeps saying only aliens will do? We wouldn’t need to supply the JOBS if we didn’t have the ALIENS! It’s them we’re building schools, houses, clinics, Mosques, MEXICAN consulates on and on for. And there is about enough of them working agriculture to produce some of the food they eat.
Any one who says 20 plus million people is not a drain on your resources is INSANE! But it won’t be only 20 million, it will result in 80 million if other amnesties show us anything.
I’m posting your post#62 as a vanity.
Reality needs to sink in. :<)
“Here’s quite an old article from the 2000 campaign that I found illuminating on Bush’s motives and reasoning. It seems many have forgotten what platform he ran for office on: “
Where is anything he ever said that would have foretold his complete destruction of our immigration laws?
Your post is spot on!
Excellent! It really gives context to the numbers.
Thanks for posting.
Bingo!

Sure...and tweak however....it was off the top of my head...but wouldn’t it be great if everyone called in and did generally the same thing!
Also...be sure to add your post above...what you’ve said makes PERFECT sense, especially after watching the famous ‘gumball’ immigration video...did you see it?...I remember a statistic that said something like...if we keep up this pace, we will have to build a school a week in California alone, in order to keep up!! Wasn’t that what I heard? AMAZING!!!
Bye bye, troll
2 thumbs up!
“Only in the minds of the reconstructionist globalists and communists is the idea that a man is elected to the presidency to ‘craft is views’ into policy!”
That is exactly what happens isn’t it? The candidate runs on whatever views and ideas he/she believes will be successful and make the nation/state/county/city/village better. If people do vote for that individual then it is a presumption that that person’s views are acceptable to the majority of the electorate isn’t that true? Thus (I know, this is plain spoken logic but please try to follow along)the majority of the voters have provided their authority for the candidate to implement whatever plan they campaigned on.
Now let’s put this all together for ya! Bush campaigned on a number of major points..War on Terror, the Economy, Immigration Reform, Social Security reform, etc.
The War on Terror as a whole is going rather well all things considered. The situation in Iraq has been mangled pretty badly...but we need not look too far back in to history to see examples where other presidents have encountered major problems with war fighting, but they did not turn tail and run, act like a bunch of snivelling cowards. They kept working hard to find the right combination of leadership and strategy that would lead to victory. President Lincoln suffered through signifciant incompetance in the leadership of the Union army before finally finding Generals like Grant and Sherman to finish that fight. President Roosevelt also faced daunting challenges in WWII, and he lived long enough to see fortunes change thanks to the tireless work and dedication of the American people. Vietnam was not a military defeat, it was a politcal defeat that never, EVER should have happened. Bush has shown the courage to stick it out through tough times in Iraq...and that patience and confidence in our troops is paying off - despite the best efforts of a bunch of defeat oriented congresscritters.
The failure of social security reform was more a failure of a Republican Congress to do the right thing. Energy Policy? Same problem...Bush made sound suggestions for improving our energy situation, it was a linguine-spined Congress that failed to act with authority to make important legislation that would have had long term benefits to our energy needs.
The economy....what’s our unemployment rate? How many new businesses have started since Bush’s tax cuts took office? Isn’t federal tax revenue up by a significant margin thanks to tax cuts?Yes, there are troubling signs of pending problems, but how many of them are directly related to anticpated democrat legislation to increase federal regulations, increase taxes, increase the minimum wage, so on and so forth.
Is Bush responsible for some of the challeges we face? Sure, he the POTUS and much of what is going on could have been better handled. But you sound like Bush is to blame for every problem and every failure...and frankly he’s not. Bush AND Congress have a great deal to answer to. Bush, however, doesn’t have too much longer to worry about all these things does he? Yet, many Dims, and apparently a few alleged republicans seem to think Bush is running for a 3rd Term. He’s not folks.
We do need to fight with all our energy and ability those policies and proposed articles of legislation that are not conservative, but we also need to focus less on Bush and more on who we choose to support for making sure the Dims don’t get the White House in 2008. In my book, Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson, and Newt (maybe....he’s made me a lil nervous as of late)are the best opportunity for bringing a true conservative view into the Oval Office. However if the nation elects another moderate like Bush to the White House, then that POTUS will have been authorized by the American people to offer solutions to the problems the nation faces that are based upon what they campaigned on.
“... Of course, Bush wasn’t on ballot in 06 so voters took out their frustration on the Repulican congress.”
I can’t argue that what you have said is true. However, Congress had before it legislation on things like Bush’s energy policy that was a very strong recommendation for change...they failed on key points of that plan, especially ANWAR. The GOP Congress certainly helped with cutting it’s own throat on the immigration issue as well..and apparently the secure the borders first message did not sink in with far too many GOP Senators and House members. Bush, true to form, is sticking to his guns on immigration. Given that he’s not worried about re-election, and congress is...we need to checkmate the illegal immigration amnesty crap in Congress.
09/11 was not Bush’s fault - you are beginning to sound a bit like Rosie.
Bush’s performance on the over all War on Terrorism issue since then has been nothing short of brilliant. Has the Bush Admininstration made mistakes in Iraq...well obviously they have, but I firmly believe that we would be in far worse shape with algore or Kerry in office.
The illegal immigration issue is critical to our protecting ourselves from more terrorism, and as such Bush is just being incredibly stupid about this....but we can also say with all fairness that our federal government has done an excellent job at stopping terrorist attacks against us since 09/11.
I am a police officer actually. We do select what laws to enforce on a daily basis. Less because of personal reasons and more for reasons of a practical nature. Not because we are bad cops, but because we just can’t possible enforce all of the laws all of the time.
Bush is simply following up on what he said he would do, he’s not been shy about discussing his support for the guest worker program. He’s refusing to call it anmesty but we all know it is. He was elected even though he clearly wanted to bring about immigration reform based upon the model of a guest worker program that he has discussed.
I, for one, an not given to panic or over reacting to the present situation. We are not powerless to address the situation, as some seem to be saying. We need to press Congress to reject any immigration reform until border security is acheived and sustainable. Then let’s discuss each point of immigration reform and see what can be worked out. I can tell you this, the likelyhood of every single illegal alien being booted out of the country isn’t realistic at all. It would be nice to be sure, but the logistics would be a nighmare. Instead, a great way to address the problem is to turn the heat up, way way up, on employers who hire illegals. Once the job marked for these guys dries up a bit, the flow of illegals into the US will slack off considerably.
No difference. So why bother voting (R)? When (R) values are actually (D)?
