I think you are on to something. And what gets me is the tough anti-terrorist talk that comes from Republicans but they don't address the issue that people over stay their VISAs and most terrorist are crossing from Canada. We need real Border Security not an immigration bill. Let the laws on the books dry up demand for illegal workers. And lets pass real Border Security reform.
And this comes as a surprise to .....whom?
Not that they haven't tried several times already. He is one of a kind. We need a lot more like him.
He isn't rethinking anything. Did you watch the interview with Larry King this week?
We'll never dry up the demand for illegal workers until we start jugging the businessmen who are coordinating the mass-importation of illegals and buying off the RNC.
Encana, a Canadian-owned exploration & production company whose main interest is drilling for natural gas, cranked up a play in the U.S. section of the Rockies a couple of years ago, in Colorado. They brought in Chinese drilling rigs and Chinese crews -- die-cut, prefab deal. They had help from inside people in the Administration in getting clearances and L-1's or H-1B's for all those Chinese rig hands, under the radar. Nobody in the business press knew anything about the rigs until one of them was already in the country and its crew were getting ready to move onto their first drilling location.
How about them apples?
That's the kind of thing I'm talking about.
This should be entertaining when the Bushbot-La Raza-Open Borders clique shows up.
I think Jimmy Carter weighed in as well with his praise as did all the Democrats in the house and Senate.
"If conservatives felt that they had nothing to lose [after the destruction of the Democrat Party], they would bolt the GOP for greener pastures to the right, and perhaps form a conservative party strong enough to challenge the GOP."
Perhaps, but probably not. And your scenario didn't consider conservatives bolting for the exact opposite reason -- they see the current GOP with its monstrous spending, open borders policy, etc. and conclude that the differences between the two major parties have now become insignificant enough to safely bolt the GOP.
So, if your hypothesis is correct, the GOP is screwed either way -- If they expand the party by expanding conservative ideas and get the electorate to understand them and agree with them (iow, what they should be doing), the party conservatives will bolt, feeling they have nothing to lose. (Personally, I think this worry is unjustified). And if they cater to the center/left by "stealing their issues," the conservatives will bolt as well (albeit for an entirely different reason).
Obviously, my preference is for the GOP to go on the offensive and annihilate the Rats, letting the chips fall where they may. Odds are, if they employ this strategy, they'd be sitting prettier than ever. And if they don't, who gives a Rat's ass -- the country will be better for it.
What's next? Montel?
I think DoJ's problem is political.
.....to [Jeb] Bush to [Chelsea] Clinton to....
Hell ;)
LOL
bump
Well, he reshowed it tonight. If you have taken your blood pressure pills you may want to watch-- especially about 20-25 minutes in to the interview.
Reshowing it tonight -- will be on again in an hour -- listen to the part about 20 - 25 minutes in where he recants what he had said earlier in the very same day.
Maybe they had a power outage in the WH basement...
I wonder where they went. I was waiting to read their comments.
