Points well taken if we don't support President Bush. It sounds like some who use the illegal alien issue are using it to only bash Bush using the side door approach as Kerry or Dean supporters as that is who they will get or who they want. And I don't take the illegal alien situation lightly as I sit only 15 miles from the busiest border crossing in the world but I also see things in the big picture.

SK, you were asked: "When is the time for Bush supporters to voice their opinions about what our policies should be?"

Your response was: "Any time. All the time. But be mindful of who is listening. The toddler-minded media and Kennedy-kissing lefties are ready to use your words."

This post piqued my curiosity and I visited your home page. Your caution regarding the use of words indicated you were someone who worked with words and were familiar with the manipulation of them. The indications were correct. Curiosity IS a good thing because the Saddam ID graphic on your page is not to be missed.

Your posting of the excellent editorial and insightful comments are appreciated. I look forward to reading more of your words.

Funny you should mention that....the R. As I was reading and glancing at the poster names, I saw Troll. Deficient eyesight or sixth sense?

When he starts acting like a Republican, rather than a RINO; well that's when I'll consider donating to the party again... Not before.

His immigration proposal and his proposed increase in funding of the NEA; well it makes me want to puke.

As for his prescription drug program; well gag me with a spoon...

For all his possibilities he's turning out to be a first class Dumbocrat; and I don't vote for those; so I'll sit this one out. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT...

He pisses on his base while pandering to the parties who aren't going to vote for him anyway... What a STUPID strategy! As bad as HOWARD's!!!!

"I certainly think we need to lean on Bush..."

Actually, I think it would be better to lean on your Congressman/woman to do their jobs, and work on projects, the President has proposed.

He proposes, we let Congress know how we feel, they make the changes, then he signs the bills.

To quote an old Seinfield episode..."YOU are a step skipper!" ;-)

Just read through the article and was somehwat disappointed. I thought Olasky's case would be stronger.

That President Bush believes in the effectiveness of faith-based programs is a good thing. But I'm not sure that government subsidization will be the best in the long-run for such programs.

His closing blurb made me wince as it only served to remind me how President Bush seems more interested in helping millions of illegal aliens than the border guards working to keep our country safe.

That the President feels a desire to help such folks is not the problem; the problem is that his desire is not within the best interests of our country, national security through strengthened borders.
