I think true conservatives should send a clear and powerful message to Bush that we won't stand by and support him while he makes ignorant decisions when it comes to national issues. We need to let Rove and Bush know this is a mistake and that they better reverse their policies if they want our support. If we make a loud enough noise Bush will change his policy. The problem is that many conservatives will support him and vote for him no matter what because they are afraid that if they don't it will lead to a democrat in power. But basically we have a democrat in office, he's just not a democrat like the ones around today.

They are probably looking at a different strategy, which is killing this as a campaign issue to be used by democrats. The problem is they're angering more on the GOP side than they'll ever gain from Hispanic voters. Most of the legal ones are against illegal immigration themselves.

I have voted Republican for more years than many of you have lived. But those Republicans have always shared my values. The present administration is deviating way off the course. I honestly would prefer to see a Democratic president (shudder) in office with a Republican majority in the Congress to rein him in. Bush, as he projects himself right now is much more scary. When I look back over the last 3 years and see how far to the left Pres. Bush has moved, it is scary. Sure! I give him an "A" for the war. But we have another war going on closer to home.

Yeah, I know! Heresy! Lemme hear it!
