Agree, we don't need our votes diluted like Perot did to us in '92, or Nader did for the Dems in '00.

And every Democrat running represents a greater threat to America and its freedoms than we can imagine.

But, still, Dubya needs to know when he's offending his conservative base. These are serious issues for many centrist Democrats as well.

We don't like CFR.

We don't need a Patriot Act, we got along fine from 1787-2001 without a Patriot Act (except when Honest Abe suspended Habeus Corpus), and that included watching serious adversaries through two World Wars and a Cold War - and we don't need it now.

I think most of us could live with a true "Documented Guest Worker Program," but that doesn't mean the provision of billions of dollars in federal charity and largesse to millions of illegal aliens and a fast track to citizenship anchored by depositing newborn, ready-made American citizens in U.S. hospitals. It means, you come to work, we pay you and you go home.

When I hire a kid to mow my lawn, that doesn't mean I agree to adopt him and support him until he graduates from college.

Any program that legitimizes the presence of people who are here unlawfully is fundmentally wrong and unprincipled. So, we're confronted with an almost unsurmountable task of bringing under control a horrible situation caused by our repeated failure to control our borders. Now, even after the "last resort, one time Reagan Amnesty," the argument is our only alternative is once again to grant immunity. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Trying to convince us his proposal for legal sanctuary does not constitute "Amnesty" reminds of of another President who parsed the meaning of what is Is.

We're not weak-minded warriors Obi Wan Kenobi can control using the power of The Force.

He needs to curtail federal spending and he needs to stop the unbridled growth of big, obtrusive federal government.

I will vote again for George Bush as a practical matter because he is the only candidate who can win that I can remotely trust to lead America.

I'd rather have Ron Paul, but he's not running - and he couldn't win if he were.

I am not sure of that and the reason we will never know is the Republicrats will never let him run. Anyone wonder why, after Reagan, the Reps ran the 3 stellar conservatives Bush, Dole and Bush? The Dems are a little closer to the truth then most Reps would like to admit when the claim the RP is a country club. They need "conservatives" to caddy for them, but admittance is strictly for the insiders.

LOL! It's just for three years, MOM.
