Did this template work for us, Conservatives, in 2000, and then again in 2004?

We were told to get with the program with Bush because Kerry and Gore were so scary. We got millions of illegals and government largesse/high taxes out the wazoo regardless.

I have heard this plea before.

I agree with you on the issues, but we have to ask why our candidates did not make it during the primaries. For me there really wasn’t a complete conservative candidate in the race. Why? Because he was destroyed by the MSM. Who? George Allen.

Well, yesterday it may have been a few ilegals in your town, but if its tomorrobama it WILL BE TERRORISTs IN YOUR AND MY BACK YARD AND NO NATIONAL DEFENSE WILL DO A THING ABOUT IT AT HOME OR ABROAD. You decide for your yard but do not impose YOUR LETHARGY on mine. Commit to America (dare I say, coward) or loose your FREEDOM.

I don't normally call a Freeper ignorant, but that sentence is certainly a vote in the affirmative.  Here's a paragraph out of USA Today in 2003:  The law is enforced only in fits and starts. Beginning in the late 1990s, enforcement plummeted. In 1998, immigration authorities arrested about 14,000 illegal immigrants at worksites. The next year, arrests dropped by 80% — and kept on dropping, according to a study by Congress' non-partisan Government Accountability Office. In 2003, there were just 445 arrests, the GAO reported.

Since all federal income tax brackets are lower under Bush than Clinton and capital gains tax rates are lower under Bush than Clinton, and immigration enforcement plummeted more than 80% under Clinton, just how is this statement anything but foolish?
