Apparently we are part of the few who understand the legislative process involved here.

I have written 5 letters in the last 3 months to President about some of his domestic agenda and so far I have never received a reply. Not even a generic "form letter" like most politicians send.

Heck, when I sent Rick Perry an e-mail about in 2001 I got a personal letter back about a month later. While he didn't agree with me, I was amazed that someone took time to answer everything I said in the e-mail.

Not really. FP is a cross segment on American Conservatism to an extent...but it also tends to grossly magnify some of the vocal minorities simply because of their prolific posting and networking.

LOL! Otherwise buchanan and browne would be co-presidents now.

Congressman Tancredo stated on the Michael Savage show that Karl Rove, et al. are trying to take his seat in Congress away from him. If I remember civics the House represents citizens directly. The Senate represents something "higher" and the president is elected by an "independent" electoral college.

So here we have Karl Rove, et al. attacking me, Joe Citizen, and I am a scoundrel for standing up to them for something I believe in?!

Borders, language, and culture issues are too important for me. I do not applaud President Bush, the hyphenated groups, the corrupt government of Mexico, "cheap labor" businesses, or any of Dem rats. I'll be watching how hard -- and dirty, in view of what Congressman Tancredo said -- the administration fights our representatives.

Then I'll decide about voting for Bush or None of the Above.

"All crimes are forgiven if you just vote Republican." I understand THAT.

I can't wait until the liberal press has to report on the debates, with the nine dwarfs drumming about how we need to give all the illegals a full free ride into citizenship. Indeed, one of Bush's smoothest moves - I just hope the Hispanics catch up, else they're going to be pissed as heck with the possibility he's pandering to the illegals.

"Apparently we are part of the few who understand the legislative process involved here."

Michael Savage was on O'Reilly last night talking about the illegal immigration issue, he had all the usual lines, and all the talking points ready.

Bill mostly agreed with him, then threw out a question that stumped Savage, he asked him what to do with the 10 million illegal aliens already here.

Savage started talking about the reason why they came, and about the cost of their being here, but Bill interrupted him, and asked again "but what do we do about the 10 million already here"?

Savage never actually answered the question.

That's always been the problem, everyone jumps up and down talking about getting them out of here, but when pressed, no one has an actual working plan on how to go about identifying, arresting, and removing ten million people who in many instances are intricately intertwined into our society, from the country without violating every civil, human, and constitutional right that I can think of.

Bush has actually taken a step, and like the old saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The clueless around here want to get to the destination, without actually having taken any steps, so they bitch, moan, and render their clothes without realizing that Bush has started us down the road to solving this problem.

Okay, I'm a fairly good listener, please tell me where I am at fault. We have just gone through a failed economy created by eight years of liberal lies. We have a current unemployment problem that is slowly finding its way out of trouble with the spurred economy and the open invitation for the working base to expand in hopes of the manufacturing base to catch up. We have thousands of jobs scattered around the country that are not now, nor ever considered to be, family earning jobs that will keep the hungry not starved if they take them. We have a current illegal alien entry problem, in California alone, that equals the population of San Francisco every six months. And those are the ones we throw back! In remembering that the ones I just mentioned are illegals, then why would they have the honesty to want to lose the money in taxes when they can get it all right now? Why would they register when they are not capable of getting the jobs that can earn a living wage due to there not being near enough of them now and the illegals mostly not having enough education to qualify for a job at a major company? Remember, these people are coming from a country because they couldn't make it there. And you expect them to make it here? Whose going to pay for the housing they can't afford, or subsidize their low pay with welfare? Do you think waiving the fact that they are criminals just by their coming here is going to make them honest?

There is a system currently in place that can work if the borders are controlled. It will offer an opportunity for those that we wish into the country, to get here. It is legal immigration, and has been in place for a long time. Allowing the illegals to stay and openning the borders will be a larger burden on our economy and welfare systems than we can afford to have at this time.

This is nothing more than taking liberal issues away from the liberals prior to the election, just like medicare, perscription drugs, education, and campaign finance reform, for the purposes of getting re-elected. I didn't vote him in there to accomplish liberal issues like this. I voted him in to accomplish just the opposite, like getting the illegals using my money out of the country, not "grub-staking" them. You don't stop a leak by turning on the faucet.


Can you please show me what I don't understand and I will be glad to discuss it.

Thanks
