That's a bit of a double edged sword. Remember Jim the same Bush who gave us Clarence Thomas also gave us Souter.
I know very well who the enemy is. I'm just beginning to have my doubts about a number of others around here. For some reason a lot of folks on this forum think it's wrong somehow to attempt in any way shape or form to hold our elected leaders feet to the fire.
Noone can voice the slightest criticism of anything the Pubbie majority is doing, or not doing as the case may be, without being called a DU troll. It's ridiculous.
States and Counties are beginning to do just what you advise wrt those who have entered our country illegally and for their trouble their being ripped as grandstanders or worse by more than one member of this forum.
Michelle Malkin has an article today documenting rather well the fact that there are certain members of this Administration who are covertly cooperating with the Mexican government to circumvent our borders and avoid both the BP and the Minutemen. The reward she gets for documenting this is being ripped up one side and down the other. Is that how you want people to behave to a nationally syndicated columnist who's been a pretty vocal supporter of this forum?
You're completely correct about the illegal invasion of our Nation being a symptom of a larger problem. But we can't fix the problem if we're afraid to name it or more afraid still to point out that that the leaders of our Party are doing the exact opposite of what a clear majority of not just Republican but Americans want them to do.
We've got a solid majority in both Houses of Congress for the first time in what, 75 years and these clowns are throwing it away. Some folks around here, including me, are pretty upset about that. If the Republicans lose the House, the Senate, the White House, or any combination thereof it won't be the fault of the conservative grass roots. It'll be the fault of the Party leadership, including the President, for not listening to us and responding to our quite reasonable demands.

Its more painful for those of us that see the immigration debate for what it is, a proxy of the integration debate to come. Id never vote for a Dem but when a vote for the GOP is taken as support for mexican/north american integration policies that just hurts.
And that is the bottom line. Most issues that conservatives are concerned about these days will end up in court. i.e. Roe vs Wade, illegal immigration, etc etc. Do we fail to support the Republican candidates because of one issue? We saw how the Clinton administration loaded up the courts with activist judges. The activists and msm are running a game on us.
