You single-issue nitwits p*** me off.

Conservatives have held their noses for the greater party on spending, education and entitlements - just for starters. But because there is ONE ISSUE for which we are not going to yet again bend over, you have the temerity to call us SINGLE ISSUE VOTERS?

How about you realizing that the base has been telling Bush loud and clear that they will not accept a guest worker or amnesty program, especially since the borders are not secure? And that such a position is not based on racism or xenophobia, but as a result of the failed history of Reagan's amnesty.

Nah, it's just easier to call us single-issue voters. It's a lot easier than thinking.

Just remember that the last time the Demiocrats got control of Congress they held it for sixty years.

Boy, you are a dirtboy.

:-) Hehe!

Good point, but what if I'm spineless and like bending over?

I have been a loyal straight-ticket voting Republican for over 25 years. I held my nose and voted for the senior Bush even after he stabbed the base in the back with his tax increase; I held my nose and pulled the lever for wimpy Bob Dole who had no idea why he wanted to be President other than he thought the party owed it to him. I voted for Dubya twice and once held him in great esteem. But this illegal immigration issue is for me is the back-breaker. It's not just about a bunch of illegals either. It's really about national security. I can't take Bush seriously in the war on terror while he does nothing to secure our borders, calling those loyal Americans who try to do something vigilantes. As far as I can see, the Republicans in the Senate are, almost to the man and woman, nothing more than Democraps but without a spine.

The Republican knee-jerk reaction to rising gasoline prices is just one more example of how they take a good issue and beat themselves to death with it. Instead of using the opportunity to assail the Democraps for blocking drilling in Anwar, and blocking new refineries, and blocking any kind of sensible energy program, Bush and the two weenies who pretend to be House and Senate Majority Leaders have donned the garb of Nancy Pelosi and her ilk and have gone after the oil companies. All this has turned my stomach.

I will not be at the polls this year or in 2008 unless the Republicans get tough on closing the borders and unless they block the legalization of millions of illegals. Screw them.

It's not a single issue when it affects so many other issues; healthcare, education, lack of good paying jobs for so many Americans who were able to feed their families working in construction, painting houses, landscaping, etc.

Very well said.
