I voted twice for GW. There is a huge gap between his aggressiveness on Iraq and his non-defense of our borders. He is supine when it comes to Messico and it's ongoing invasion of the United States. America was once a proud nation full of people who were proud to live here. This birthright is being frittered away by our Washington DC permanent Federal gubbermint.
We need a 5 year moratorium on all immigration and we need to kick out the illegals.
People are enraged here in NC, where it's estimated 20% of our population are illegals--not just Mexicans, but including lots from the former Soviet Union and other such "white" nations. The moderates are convinced that Saint W is just a puppethead for the suits making fortunes off this situation, and the liberals are afraid to say anything for fear of sounding "mean." Conservatives are living in dreamland, pretending that their hero in the White House has "a great plan."
What this adds up to is my tagline below.
I met my wife over twenty five years ago. She was die-hard and never die Republican. Guess what? Bush has changed that. Every morning she comes in and reviews Free Republic. She has had it up to here and wants to know what the f--- Bush thinks he is doing to the party. Enough said. The GOP either lines W up or the party loses. I am tired really tired and retired. Illegal immigration is the issue. Nothing trumps it. Get after it W!!!! I know you are watching.
Every time Bush and Rumsfeld complain about porous borders between Iraq&Syria, Iraq&Iran, and Afganistan&Pakistan you just have to laugh at them. The problem is they just don't care, and are lying about putting serious effort into it, just like they are doing here close to home with Mexico.
And every one of these borders has an issue with terrorism and the smuggling of nuclear weapons. Lovely. I'm sick of this crap.
Mrs. Warchild is a naturalized Cuban--a more solid Reagan Republican you'll never meet. When Saint W--or any Republican shows up on television--she switches channels in disgust.
I think even those most dazzled with Bush vapor are beginning to see the truth, and that my tagline is no longer a Cassandrian wail.
Oh, but I don't want to experience eight more years of a Clinton White House, particularly THIS dangerous one!
W don't care...he's not running for reelection. LOL
But the Gelding Old Party is.
And it they don't get their collective arses in gear they are going to find out what being the Minority Party is like again verrrrrry soon!
It's not as cut and dry as you think. The below is from a recent Fox/Opinion Dynamics poll.
Even so, a 62 percent majority, including almost equal majorities of Democrats (65 percent) and Republicans (62 percent), favors allowing illegal immigrants who have jobs in the United States to apply for legal, temporary worker status
Also tancredo is a backstabber to Tom Delay, with his saying Delay should step aside, all for the glow of the liberal media cameras.
Hillary thanks you for her support, and if you beleive she is going to do anything about immigration, read my tag line.
The dems profit so hugely from illegal immigration that you'd have thought it would have been a political issue long ago.
How do they profit? Unlimited illegal immigration articficially depresses wage rates and so long as rates are low, blacks are better off not working and do not voluntariy enter the work force. Without Mexicans, wage rates would rise under normal market conditions and wages get higher, blacks would move into the market. Once blacks become employed and pay taxes, the status quo will change. Blacks who are dependent on the dems will continue to vote for the dems. Blacks dependent on themselves will at least examine alternatives.
here come the talking points. LOL
New tagline BTW.
Right on, as your other illegal immigration posts are. Thanks
I know the frustration. In Texas, we enjoyed W as Governor, did wonders with state government after Ann Richards' almost single-handed destruction of the system.
We (Texans) are just as frustrated, but I certainly won't switch to the Democrap side just because my president seems to have a mental block on this issue, but I do expect these people to MOVE ON THE ISSUE, not talk, enough talk already!
Let's hang together and hold their feet to the fire. How? I dunno, I write letters too but things just keep ponderously moving to the Left...
Dane, you are the one whose thinking is the most "progressive" and you have "liberal" immigration views. Also, you are always talking about Hillary.
We know you can't stop thinking about Hillary.
Exactly so.
I heard an ad on the radio for Lonegan, who is running for governor of New Jersey. He stated illegal immigrants were a problem for NJ and that he wanted to stop it.
The issue is on the radar. Unless I hear similar noises from Forrester or Schundler, Lonegan gets my vote.
91 percent of those polled believe that illegal immigration is a serious problem.
