What is happening to Free Republic Mr. Robinson? The Bush Haters and Republican Haters are getting louder and more daring by the hour. These phony conservatives who claim the Conservatism purity are savagely attacking President Bush and the GOP as bad as the worst liberals.
The Bash Bush feast is becoming a part of every thread. Everywhere you see Bush is a traitor, Bush wants to sell our sovereignty to Mexico, Bush is a liberal, Bush has no spine, Bush is destroying our economy, Bush is puppet in Vincent Fox hand, Bush is this Bush is that, everything wrong in this world is Bush fault.
Nothing but doom and gloom is coming from these phony conservatives. For them our economy is destroyed, liberals are controlling the government, the GOP will be finished by 2006, Mexico has invaded the US and changed its identity, China is superior to us, we are no more a superpower, and on and on and on. Every minor bump in the road is turned into a Mount Everest of catastrophe and disaster
Either Free Republic will remain the Premier political forum on the internet, a site to advance the real conservative cause and provide great and continuous support to our President Bush and the Republican Party, or it will be forum controlled by bitter and delusional phony conservatives who can never win on the ballot box, and come to FR to poison the atmosphere through their extreme kooky rhetoric and turn it into another Dummyland.
Enough is Enough.
Kindly make sense so I can figure out what point you are trying to make. Thank you.
The hate is blinding you.
"Shoot, the Minutemen already have the problem about half solved. "
Isn't it kind of late to be approving of the Minutemen project? I thought you tagged the effort as a bunch of racists you didn't want FR to be affilated with.
Or did you forget the sarcasm tag?
Can Mexicans do that better from within or from our side of the border? Who has more power to shine a light on it -- Bush, or many Mexican immigrants?
I was outraged when Pres. Bush stood next to vincente fox, who gives his people pamphlets on how to enter and live in the US illegally, and called law abiding citizens, who were simply trying to do the job our elected officials should have taken care of years ago, "vigilantes". What a slap in the face. How long are we supposed to give the Republicans to listen to us before someone gets fed up?
The party that takes care of the border issues will win the next election. And I am NOT happy that the Dems are pretending to be the party that is most concerned about it. If the GOP loses their majority power in 2006 over their inaction on this and other issues, it will be too late to be angry.
Well, you've got to look at the results. Has not the flow of illegal immigrants through Arizona slowed to a trickle? And, to the best of my knowledge, there was no gun play or rough stuff involved. Notwithstanding Frosty, Chittum and the race war gang, maybe they're on to something.
Vote for Hillary!

Ah, so the GOP no longer stands for border security, spending controls and trying to reduce the size of government. If that's the case, you can call me a RINO all you want.
No thanks. I don't wanna live in a village.
Hey, cowboy, what do you think tags are for?
Join the Kollege of FReeper Knollege!
Bush is not a conservative. The GOP has shifted to the left too far in order to appease everyone. Give us back our old party and then you will seee more support from the real conservatives. The border issue has cost the GOP/Bush big time.
Ah, so because the GOP won't listen to its base, we should just put some ice on it. We're as bad as African-Americans, who pull the donkey lever every year even though the Dems take them for granted - we vote GOP in the forlorn hope that they might do something like take border security seriously or try to contain spending - and then rant for awhile when they ignore us after the election, but then, like a battered wife, come back next election and vote for them yet again.
And FWIW, the GOP has plenty of time to correct their errors regarding immigration. The fact that Hillary is already running against illegal immigration means SHE sees the rift. One would hope the GOP leadership can do the same and prevent the rift, especially since leading opinion-makers in talk radio are yelling at them as well.
When did it become extreme to believe that immigration laws should be enforced and not ignored? When did it become extreme to believe that government should be shrunk and not explode like a dandelion on Miracle-Gro?
What is extreme is what the GOP leadership has become - extremely out of touch with the base that puts them into power election after election.
Amen.
Some see that as blinded by hate... (note above), I call it blinded by truth.
Well, now wait just a cottin pickin minute here. I thought you guys were all saying the illegal immigration problem is the number one issue we should all be worrying about and if it's not fixed then the entire US of A was gonna cave-in and the party that says it can fix illegal immigration is the party to vote for? That being the case, Hillary is the only heavy weight (sheesh, no pun intended) running on the anti-illegal immigration platform and shouldn't we all be jumping on her bones, er, bandwagon? Nothing else matters y'know.
I thought Dems were the only ones who resorted to hyperbolic generalizations to quash honest debate on an issue.
I'd rather have all of Mexico and Central America move to my neighborhood than have Hillary become president. But that's just me. But plenty of other folks probably feel differently, and they have the same vote that you and I do. The GOP ignores those people at its own peril. If they give Hillary this opening, it is their fault, not mine. And I'm not going to let the GOP scream "HILLARY!" as a means to absolve themselves of having to confront this issue before 2008. Because in 2012, there will be another reason, and in 2016, yet another. This issue calls for leadership NOW. It isn't just about illegal immigrants. It's also about a porous border in a time when terrorists are trying to figure out how to attack us next.
Oh, and you didn't own this forum, I'd mash abuse for referencing jumping Hillary's bones. That is one thing I'd really rather NOT envision.
"vitriol and hatred toward President Bush and the GOP are now called constructive criticism"
Yes, but as VP Cheney likes to say, you can put lipstick on a pig, but in the end it's still a pig.
He wasn't calling anyone an actual pig, either; he was saying you can put whatever spin you want on something but the essence of what it is cannot be changed.
