Now that 2004 election is over, we have TWO years to focus the Republican party in CA on the illegal immigration problem. We need our reps to stand strong for interior enforcment and busting employers who break the law.

The lesson for John & Ken types to learn for 2006 is: attack GOP incumbents ONLY IN THE PRIMARY.

The CA republican party IGNORED the candidate that challenged Dreier in the primary (and will probably do so again) because they are cowards on this issue.

The people who now bring up the issue of illegal immigration will be slimed with the label of xenophobe, racist, nationalist, protectionist, nativist, yadda, yadda...

Dreier and his ilk will not listen now. He is not scared, he just got re-elected.

The only thing John and Ken did wrong is that they started this too late to affect the absentee ballots.

Boy, I don't wanna even think who you consider a 'good' Republican when someone with a 92% ACU rating is considered a 'RINO'.

Yes, we need to educate people about the harmfulness of illegal immigrants, but one issue a RINO does not make!

He got re-elected, but he had a hell of a scare. He's already sponsored a good bill as a result of this campaign. Time will tell whether it represents a shift in his thinking.
