Texasforever: You thought so the other day when it suited your purpose. You posted your own thread decrying it.

Howlin: ROFLMAO. Ain't that the truth.

Incorrect, of course.
I posted a thread on the tone of the debates on the Illegal Alien threads, in support of the effort by the Lead Moderator to temper them.
The words "division," "divisive," and "divide" do not appear.
My own opinion is that division can be either good or bad, depending on what's being divided, and why.
The division generated by President Bush's Amnesty proposal, which you've both acknowledged that you don't support, and is unpopular both in the GOP and the general population, and is a bad policy in any case, is bad to the extent that it will cost GOP votes in November.

Tooth, we know what you are against. That is well documented.

You've presented an impressive reformation proposal to our current immigration mess. I agree with everything in concept but I think your concept has ZERO political chance of ever being implemented. It's not realistic. I support the President's proposal, because I think it is the only realistic plan to get 8-12 million currently resident illegals "regularized". On the books. It's Tough to swallow, but sometimes life is tough to swallow when you are fixing profound eff ups from the past. I'll accept it.

Let's just accept the reality of 8-12 million illegal trespassers here, working living and moving among us. You see it. I see it. Bush sees it. None of us like it. Bush presented a plan.

You don't like his plan. What I want to know, from you, is what your POLITICAL gameplan is at this point to get your 18 point plan implemented. Assume George W. Bush and whomever comes out of the RAT primary don't read Free Republic.

What are you, after all these years ... doing POLITICALLY to get the problem solved. Hell, if you find the Yellow Brick Road on this mess, I'll follow you. Until, and unless, you provide a politically viable alternative to present to CONGRESS, and a game plan to win introduction of that plan, I'll just consider the plan you've constructed, and all the dialogue and bitching surrounding it a charade.

I'm sure you've met with Boxer and Feinstein? Your House Rep? Who is spearheading your 18 point plan into Legislative Realboyland?

You better be working on that aspect, and not just spamming FR with your initiatives, however valid they may be. (And most are) Is it writing in Tom Tancredo for President in 2004? Is that the elegant solution here?

How are you solving your political challenge? Specifically? Enough tales of f'ng woe already. We know the problem. What's your POLITICAL action plan. We know your Free Republic "thinktank" LOL solution. I want to know which elected official is going to make your dreams come true. Names. You've had two and a half years. Thanks.
