This may be news to you, but one of the following people will be the President of the United States at this time next year: John McCain, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
In other words, we will have a president next year who was in favor of the McCain Amnesty last year. That won't be a change.
So, we can either have a president who believes in amnesty, victory over terrorists and the homeland security methods that have been working so far (like wiretaps) or we can have a president who believes in amnesty, losing to Al Qaida abroad, making nice-nice to people like Ahmadinejad and throwing terrorist surveillance in the round file.
BTW, based on your second paragraph, I'm beginning to think you're probably one of the seminar posters we've been seeing on the site lately who are trying to run a mirror image of Limbaugh's Operation Chaos over here on our side of the house. Sorry, not buying it.
I respectfully disagree. If their is a possibility that someone other than those three can be elected this year we owe it to our nation to pursue every avenue to make that possible.
I detailed already two recent cases where the inevitable did not come to pass, amnesty and Miers. There is no good reason why we should not try again.
If you merely doubt my sincerity, I can doubt yours as well, and accuse you of having vested personal interests at odds with the interests of the nation.
The 200 other active users on this board who have expressed agreement with the ideas I present here understand that only a conservative could make the argument I have made.
You have refused to even look at the information presented and are acting solely to stop conservatives from acting in our own interest. You have established here far more reason to doubt your motives than you have for anyone to doubt mine.
Therefore I respectfully request that you leave the conversation to those of us who have interest in it.
