Yes pat, we know. You ran, conservative America yawned, you lost (a the Little Big Horn was a minor loss for Custer) and you're still ticked off.

[Drango]

America needs a new party.

Perhaps...but you won't be leading it Pat.

[cardinal4]

Go, Pat Go..........away!

[CWOJackson]

Yes, pat tried that new party idea...and killed the party.

[ArneFufkin]

Watch out, apparently there's a ballot drive that's gaining steam!

[CWOJackson]

Oh no...not the buchanan juggerNOT!

LOL. Thanks for the blast from the past.

The American middle class is increasingly being squeezed between a hight cost of living (higher prices and higher taxes come to mind real quick), and by a decreasing pool of good paying jobs.

Over Christmas, I visited my Yankee in laws. This was a lively topic of conversation. They as many I know down south are getting feed up and want this issue addressed in ways that help the middle class. Immigration amnesties are not it. And to quote my father in law who has 40 years as an accountant and investment advisor free trade is killing the middle class.

This proposal is the type of crap from the President that makes me wish there were a true conservative running to unseat President Bush from the office.
I like the man but his policies are from the East coast block of the Republican party.

If Pat is saying that Bush ought to be enforcing our generous immigration laws, Pat is right.

Every poll taken indicates that American CITIZENS, TAXPAYERS, LAWABIDING VOTERS--want these laws enforced.

And Rove just smirks and shrugs at us conservatives with --"Hey, we'll ignore you,where ya gonna go?"

Well, it won't do us any good to vote for Dean--so I guess we won't GO anywhere in Novemeber.

Maybe, Mr. Rove, we'll just stay home--while it's still our home!

What would this mean? U.S. companies would offer pay at or near the minimum wage for jobs they had open in, say, construction.

Sure, Pat. American companies will jump at the chance to replace their highly skilled work forces with unskilled, non-english speakers. For example, hospitals would offer pay "at or near the minimum wage" for thoracic surgeons so they could smuggle in Guatemalan farmers to perform open heart surgery.

THINK, Pat, THINK.

[ArneFufkin]

Think how much fun this summer will be when the bitter and witless FR dead-enders try to get a Tancredo tsunami going.

[Who dat?]

I keep hearing that.

I’ve been involved in various aspects of construction for 35+ years. (Framing, roofing, plumbing, painting and electrical.) I haven’t seen anyone making minimum wage since the mid 1970’s – that’s when I apprenticed with an electrical contractor. Now you’ll make anywhere from $28 - $45 per hour, depending who you work for and what you’re doing.

Not a single $5.00/hr job I’m aware of. Helpers start out at $10.00. That’s for a live body with no experience whatsoever.

[Mamzelle]

What if we got a Tancredo tsunami started in a GOP presidential primary vote--Bush would still get the nom, but would he get the message?

Uh, there are no GOP primaries this year. None. Bush is running unopposed.

No wonder Tancredo can't get going; you guys don't even know the rules.

[Mamzelle]

I know--was thinking "what if" and that's what I wrote--so, what's your idea? Shut up and take it?

[MissAmericanPie]

What he says may be true, but Pat is certainly not the answer to the problem.

[sinkspur]

I'm happy with Bush. I'd rather focus on beating Howard Dean than go off in the weeds with some quixotic third-party quest that would go down in flames anyway.

[ArneFufkin]

You HAVE no message, besides the fact you don't like Mexicans and most other foreigners. If all 5 to 11 million illegally resident Mexicans were located, trucked back accross the river to Mexico - and the employed, non-welfare taking parasites were immediately re-processed into this country legally you'd still hate 'em. You people don't like immigrants, period. Indian, Chinese, Mexican. Don't bring that platform to my caucus, we'll beat you down.

Now you’ll make anywhere from $28 - $45 per hour, depending who you work for and what you’re doing.

Construction work in the SW wouldn't pay anything close to that --- but maybe in some parts of the country they pay that. No one pays an illiterate unskilled immigrant that kind of money and full health insurance benefits --- the whole reason they do is to pay dirt cheap and let the taxpayers subsidize them.
