Never underestimate the willingness of the Stupid Party to pander to voting blocks who vote against them.

They should rename our two major parties. The Democrats should be called the Machiavellian Party and the Republicans should be called the Anti-Machiavellian Party.

The distinguishing characteristics would be that the Machiavellians pander to their supporters at the expense of the people who vote against them. The Anti-Machiavellians pander to the people who vote Machiavellian at the expense of the people who vote Anti-Machiavellian.

Changing the party names would be only symbolic, of course, but it would at least make clear why "liberalism" and Political Correctness advances no matter which party wins.

I'm afraid until we can elect someone committed to border controls like Tancredo, gridlock is the only answer to halting the open borders train.

The competing proposal that Daschle and Hagle just came out with is actually to our benefit. It should help to keep the whole process bottled up.

The voting block being pandered to is big business, not Hispanics. Bush is giving them carte blanc to lower wages to the legal minimum then bring in third worlders to do those jobs "Americans don't want".

Your post was amusing--with a great deal of truth. But the advance of "liberalism," etc., can be stopped, if we do not allow either party to play these cynical games without challenge.

If the politicians will not be consistent to their oaths and claimed principles, we need to keep the spotlight on them. When you compromise truth, you destroy your own credibility, and severely damage your ability to ever accomplish much of anything. If you are even moderately conservative, the Leftist Professors on the campuses of America will drown you in ridicule over those inconsistencies.

Whether or not Bush gets his amnesty bill through is only a small part of the immigration issue. The border is still not being defended. He still refuses to speak out for the preservation of our character as a people. (How can a Texan, even only an adopted Texan, be blind to the profound ethnic and cultural issue involved. In World War II, we "remembered Pearl Harbor, as we did the Alamo." Do you think we will be able to do that again, if 20% or more of the population, thinks that the sacrifice at the Alamo was about stealing Mexican land.

Before I consider supporting Bush again, he is going to need to speak out very forcefully for maintaining the heritage of the Founding Fathers. And if that means offending some people with thin skins, that is too bad; because without that commitment, he is going to go on appeasing voting blocs, no matter what the effect on the future of our heritage.
