Tancredo. You can forget about Tancredo. The firestorm Bush has caused is way, way past Tancredo now.
Pass this on to all your friends: Wake Up And Smell The Coffee - THE GOP IS MAD AS HELL OVER THE MIGRANT INVASION!
Growing frustration over President Bush's immigration plan and lack of fiscal discipline came to a head behind closed doors at last weekend's Republican retreat in Philadelphia.
House lawmakers, stunned by the intensity of their constituents' displeasure at some of Mr. Bush's key domestic policies, gave his political strategist Karl Rove an earful behind closed doors.
"It was intense, but I was not surprised at the tone of questioning during Rove's session," said Rep. Tom Feeney, Florida Republican. "But then this was supposed to be a no-holds-barred discussion, and our constituents are upset."
"They were all over Karl on immigration and spending," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican and a leading House proponent of controlling the nation's borders and curbing illegal immigration. "This is the first time I didn't even have to raise the immigration issue myself. Everyone else did."
You're right, this is the most important thing impacting our lives right now. Hold on,I have to make sure they have not triped the bouncing betties around my fortress.That'll hold 'em back
The reality is simple, they're here .Want the Military to guard the borders? Okay, pay for it. Ever think about how large a commitment of resouces that truly is? Probably not, because you don't think, you react.Like the Military's use to stem the drug flow? That's what some of you are asking for. Push the President out of office for some third party no load,who will assure something far worse than you can imagine? Great strategy.
Want to to do something about it? Then go to those congressional cowards and ask them why they've done nothing about any of it. I realize the Birch publications don't mention that basic part of the civics lesson, but try it.Secondly, remember that this nation may trend conservative viscerally but still gets its news from lefty sources. So, if the President , tomorrow ,issued and executive order deporting every last one of these people, you and I would be marginalized as haters and kooks. You are so wrapped up in this that you cannot even see that this is the first real attempt to address this since 1965.You are too blinkered to even look past your own prejudices and fears to add anything constructive except insult the President and provide fodder for a lunatic like Clark,who, til someone tipped him to this non starter, never gave it any consideration. Now, try thinking instead of reacting. You, we, can and we must. If you and some of your adherants truly want real live reform ,then don't put your heads and hearts into ensuring a Democrat finds its way into office. Do you not believe that whomever they'd put in would simply do whatever they wanted with an executive order? Or has your rage bilnded you to that very circumstance? I give up, you're never going to ever get it. You'll never ever concede that maybe this subject is being addressed seriously for the first time in forty years. Fine, enjoy, don't bother me further with your single minded zeal to get something worse shoved up our noses because you can't do anything but emote.
