"The more we scream the more no one seems to hear!"
What a stupid statement. You want hillery/gore?
I have seen the enemy. It is us. For if we fail to speak out against treachery committed in our midst, we have become the problem not the solution.
As a thirty-two year Republican until the year 2000, I must ask people to please, please, please, take a look at what we have become if we are willing to support men the likes of which have passed some of the recent ominious legislation.
Mr. President, you swore an oath. So did our Congressman and Senators. If you and they are unwilling to abide by that oath, step down.
If you wish to work on behalf of the United Nations, the nation of Mexico or any other, step down now and persue your desires. I will wish you well. But when it comes to our own nation, we deserve to have a man represent and uphold our Constitution, our sovereignty and our borders.
In light of Bush's actions, I cannot support him in his efforts to serve another four years. IMO the least we should accept is a person who will abide by the Constitution. Hell, they swear to do so. How can we possibly fail to swear to make sure they do so?
I was told that Bush would conform to the Constitution. I was told that he would surprise me. Well, on the former he has surprised me. He's surprised a number of people who voted for him too. In the year 2000 I took a pounding for saying I didn't think Bush would far different than a warmed over Democrat. Well, I think it's time for those who promised otherwise to step up to the plate and demand that we replace him with someone who is more like what we were promised Bush would be.
It's time to clean house!
Lets not shoot ourselves in the foot!!!!

To Whoever Is Reading This:
If you want to keep your job another term, you best tell your boss he'd better explain why he pushed for the amnesty legislation.
His core constituency is pissed. What a total betrayal. I stood in zero degree weather at Mr. Bush's inauguration.
You ask your boss, for what?
At least Democrats are honest about how much they hate America.
To add salt to the wound, this is the autoresponse I got:
Thank you for emailing President Bush. Your ideas and comments are very important to him.
If your message is about the September 11 terrorist attack on the United States, please click go to www.whitehouse.gov to learn more about the American response and to receive or provide help in the recovery efforts.
As the President said recently, one in three Afghan children is an orphan and almost half suffer chronic malnutrition. He has asked American children to help Afghan children by making contributions of one dollar individually or collectively to:
America's Fund for Afghan Children C/O The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20509-1600
For more information, go to www.whitehouse.gov/afac/
He voted for the amnesty bill, too.
It's not that I don't appreciate the spiteful mindset, I do, really I do, but come on. Four years of another Democrat? Does that really sound like a fair trade to you?
You got my attention there. The Republican Party has been bought lock, stock and barrel by the neo-con One Worlders and is thus beyond redemption. At least for the time being. Only a serious challenge to the cozy duopoly of power will force the parties to become responsive to their electorate. As it stands they are the best parties money can buy.
Sold us out? He didnt sell me out but his decision did piss me off Tell you what this country has got to get used to honesty again if it dont were sunk Bush is an honest and forthright President and i beleive hes the right man for the job regardless of this decision I dont think voting for a 3rd party or voting for a demoncrat would do anything but throw us HEADLONG into a communist police state and if we go to war with Iraq what better allie to have close to home than mexico sure the decision was WRONG but i think it may be for reasons other than VOTE PADDING and ELECTION TAMPERING i just dont see GWB doing it that way i may be wrong ! i have been before but ill stand behind him for now we will see what the future brings WONT WE ?
Even worse: the citizens who are natualized this way will never have deep resspect for our laws, for the fundations of this nation. It is like becoming a priest by stealing papers confirming that one is ordaned; like staring an honest life by lying. That does not work.
As for the other comment, I would prefer to work from within the party: starting a new party is harder than starting a business, and building up even the latter takes time. The party is what it stands for, not its name. Look what happened to Democrats: is this the part of even John Kennedy? Similarly, for Republicans: we've got to make it work and make it more inclusive.
P.S. Incidentally, I do not think Bush was so simplistic and did that to buy Spanish-speaking voters. There is a broader audience addressed here --- all those who sympathize with them.
Go to the Tancredo doubts he can block amnesty-extension bill thread. There are a lot of people (myself included) that feel the same way as you.
"Just say NO to amnesty"
Learn to speak spanish, gringo!
Build even more factories in Mexico. Get filthy rich on the economic explosion that would result.
The three hundred million of us already here would have to work harder to help them become good Americans. It's kinda like the drug war. Can't win it. We should just go around it.
The culture of Mexico is irrelevant. The only reason immigrants weaken our nation is if they are able to get free money through income redistribution.
Stop the great fed tax ripoff and immigration from Mexico would not be a threat. We can absorb all the Mexicans who want to come here. I don't even think it will be more than around ten million or so.
Once the economy of Mexico comes up the influx will taper off. Most Mexicans I know are very homesick. They are only here for the money.
