GOP platform pushes amnesty
NJ.com ^ | 8/29/04 | Paul Mulshine

Posted on 08/29/2004 2:55:26 PM PDT by Afronaut

If there are any deluded souls out there who still believe George W. Bush is a conservative, I invite them to examine the 2004 Republican Party platform on the issue of amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Bush is for it. That makes him a liberal. Worse, he proclaims that the amnesty is not an amnesty. So he is not only a liberal, but a liar as well.

Principles be damned, if you arent elected it doesnt matter a damn now does it?

What difference does it make if we feed the beast?

I may just stay home. If I do vote, it will be for a third party.

It isnt that Bush truly believes in them. He is keeping them from Kerry. Pure politics. Kerry has been out manuvered at every turn.

Our President doesn't truly in what he says?
Is this the FR that I joined?

HUH?

anyway, they are called feelers. But when you get them out in the public, you can measure how much support you have for said issue. But also you take an issue away from the other candidate.

Probably 80% of the more moderate stuff that has come out of the Bush administration hasn't been high on the President's priority list, but instead, it has been high on his re-elect bid list. Politics trumps all when you WANT to get re-elected.

At least, that is the way it works in DC, which is where politics trumps all anyway.

I don't agree with his liberal policies at all.

I don't either.

Deny illegals anchor baby status

Babies born here are US citizens. That should never be changed.

Now, the issue of the 5, 6, 10 ... God knows how many ... illegals already here can only be addressed through involuntary identification and security from immediate deportation.

Now that makes sense

You're arguing with the wrong individual.

I don't do it at all, people like you do it.

You do it for the same reason as leftists try painting Bush as an inarticulate moron, and by using the same tactics.

You do it because you fear me, and you lie about me because that's the only thing you can do.

So?

It is the Constitutional charge of the Congress to enact laws. If anyone is to blame then, it would be the nearly 70% of the American people who supported CFR.

Sorry that the President hasn't rounded up people by the million and thrown them into camps?

Thus far, your vision of America includes barbed wire borders, millions in camps, and Americans on trial for crimes against the State.

Nice.

As far as "the stop and drop citizenship fiasco", that requires a change in the Constitution.

Not at all, the constitution does not confer citizenship on the children born of illegal residents, wrong headed custom does.

I'll consider making Bush accountable the second you get Diane Feinstein thrown out of Congress.

Maybe if all the complainers about California, would move here and displace some of the wackos that would be possible, until then I am only one vote.

Amendment XIV

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.

Now, you may want it to mean something other than what it says, but it means exactly what it says.

That's your exact problem.

Everything is someone else's fault, and you're just another victim.

Victim mentality.

You live in California, you send Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer to Congress year after year, and you want to blame even that on someone else.

You are welcome to open your front door, and let as many people in as you want, but you have no right to open my door and make the same offer.

"And I am waiting for that link that shows Jane Fonda aologized"

Ask Ollie North, my tagline is a quote from his letter to John Kerry.

And by the way...I'm not your Mexican houseboy, you want something, go get it yourself, I'm not here to serve you.

I've opened no door, the problem is that all yoiu want to do is bitch about the door being opened, and blame others for it.

Maybe if California would quit coming up with crap like licenses for illegals, we could get the matter under control.
