Here's a "Ninas Limpias".

That's Spanish for "baby wipes."

What issue is more important than the security of the nation?

Can someone, anyone give me one actual reason why illegal aliens should be given a path to citizenship? Anyone? Please note that "because they're here already" is not an acceptable answer.

Keeping Republicans in the majority, according to many here.

"Bush has destroyed the GOP, perhaps forever."

So, are YOU going to vote for Republicans in November, or not.

If so, then Bush probably hasn't destroyed the GOP.

I want them in the majority because they promised to do certain things when campaigning. Not for the sake of being i nthe majority.

The real battle is with Islam and he's ducked that one as far as I can tell. Right now he looks like a drunken cowboy in a barfight.

Uh-oh, Don. We may have a tie for "Dumbest Post of the Day". This one completely ignores the war on terror and the freeing from tyranny of 50 million Muslims.

Yep. Today we have a tie for the honors.

We'll be in touch with a list of the fabulous prizes.

Because they'll be grateful, and won't bellyache like an inflamed hemorrhoid.

It's almost enough to turn social conservatives against business.

It's not just social conservatives. It's turning off the law and order conservatives, national defense conservatives, constitutional conservatives, etc. Bush has sold out everyone in the movement who cares about more than just making a buck for himself.

It will take decades for the Republican party to recover from the Bush administration. After it's over, we need to blackball the entire Bush family, Rino sellouts all. Jeb and George P....don't even think about it.

Real conservatives are crying.

I always expected the Democrats to sell us out, but never in my lifetime did I expect that it would be the GOP who sold American citizens out.

The GOP is now in the pockets of foreign interests, not ours, and we're paying the price.

When the next 20 million welfare recipients come across the border, who will pay the bills when the takers outnumber the givers? Mr. Bush didn't address that in his sellout speech.

"Between a rock and a hard place" describes the position of many conservatives today, I would guess. If some Republicans in office, e.g. Bush, Hagel, and Martinez are willing to bestow U.S. citizenship upon millions of immigrants and illegal aliens, we have to ask why.

If their hidden agenda is to court these people to add to their voter ranks, we will never hear them say it.

Whether or not that is the goal, it amounts to pure stupidity, IMO.

As wiser people than I have said, the end result will be a United States that we and those before us would not recognize anymore. It will be for the worse, not the better. This is the mess we will leave to our progeny.

George W. Bush was the only acceptable candidate I could vote for in the last two presidential elections. Frankly, he has disappointed me; I think he should have been wiser. Maybe he doesn't have it in him.

That was rather nonsensical.

We're talking about criminals here. Law-breakers. Why reward them?

Why don't we check back this November and see how well the GOP fares by opening our borders to hundreds of millions of Third Worlders?

You are nauseatingly predictable in your hyperbole. In fact, you couldn't possibly be any more wrong.

They should be. They won't be.

HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF THIRD-WORLDERS!!!!

Could you possibly be any more hysterical?

There might be hundreds of millions of termites eating your house, or hundreds of millions of roaches in your pantry, but there aren't hundreds of millions human beings doing any one thing at a time, unless it's sleeping, eating, or breathing.

They're mowing your grass, cleaning up your city park, cleaning your motel room, roofing your house, pouring tar on a parking lot.

Those are workers, not criminals.

...one actual reason why illegal aliens should be given a path to citizenship?

For many years, the federal government ignored their obligation to protect and defend their country by securing it's borders. You have heard the often repeated reason (excuse?), that Americans will not do some of the jobs that illegal aliens do for low wages.

Maybe we could kick the bums off the dole, where working taxpayers are forced (unwillingly) to support them.

Their choice then: starve or work in the fields and earn a fair wage. We probably will pay more for our fruits and vegetables, but we can't have it both ways.

Anyone arrested for drug trafficking or use should be given the same options, or imprisonment.

The subject of drugs in this country is another topic.

Selling drugs on your sidewalk, stealing your car, bankrupting your emergency rooms, living in your publicly subsidized housing, redeeming your taxpayer provided food-stamps, swamping your public schools..

When you get as incensed about some blacks and white trash who do the same thing, let me know.
