"In politics, sometimes it's wise to mislead the press with a few purposely leaked supposed details that will end up making the Liberal Rags like the NYT's look the fools they are"

You mean, like Ridge's recent statement? (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1039083/posts) That statement wasn't meant to mislead the press, it was meant as a trial balloon. If you don't pop trial balloons in time, it's too late.

OK, That's fair... So what do you do with your assumption that it's a trial baloon?

As I said, Send your letters and faxes to the White House denouncing any kind of amnesty (LIKE I HAVE) instead of taking what Mike Allen from the Wash. Post as Gospel and condemning this President for a Proposal neither you or I or anyone has seen, because there isn't one yet.

You mean this one ?

" I'm not saying make them citizens,'' Ridge said. ``They violated our laws to get here. You don't reward that kind of conduct.''

This is a trial balloon that needs to be squashed!
