Do you have a link for official platform info? I don't have the time to read this entire thread to see if someone posted a link. Would like to check out both platforms -- to compare and send to friends. I don't think most people ever look at the core values of the two parties. And it's my belief that most people would be mortified to see how the 'RAT platform actually goes against much of what they believe.
That said, this is one of the few areas about which I strongly disagree with the President. Most of my friends feel the same way. One friend, who has been a conservative longer than I've been alive, said she's going to have to hold her nose this election and vote straight Republican, which probably says more about Congress than it does about GW, but nevertheless. I suspect a lot of conservatives are feeling the same way.
On Sept 10, 2001, I wrote the President an email detailing why I was against yet another amnesty. The next day I noticed the amnesty program took a back seat to the horror of the day. Too bad it's coming back to the forefront.
I'll vote for Bush, but with a few strong reservations -- especially this issue, which I consider pandering.
The other issues are tort reform, educational vouchers, and conservatives judges.
Thanks if you can get me the link to platforms and may God bless America.
