the republican party is doomed

No, a conservative party is doomed. (unless it can get in and correct this fiasco) The Republican party just goes into competition with the democrat party seeing who can offer more freebies,give aways and promises.

you are correct.

I am beginning to think this immigration gambit by Bush for the hispanic vote was done because they know that the 2004 jobs numbers will be quite bad, and they have to make a move now to find another voting block.

You are right, the only conservatives to run last time, Pat Buchannan, and Alan Keyes, got very few votes.
