But the thing to me, folks, is this election shouldn't even be close right now. The reason that it is close, they're reasons that have to do with things that, you know, Karl Rove and George W. Bush really don't have all that much to say about or control over. I mean demographics -- if we can be honest here for a second -- demographics are going to make it increasingly more difficult for Republicans to win in the future if things don't change as they are now. Many people who are voting have no context. I've got story after story today of voter fraud, registration fraud in Franklin County, Ohio. There are more registered voters than the Census Bureau says are eligible. We got a story out of Tampa today in the St. Petersburg Times about how a group that was formed in the 1970s, you may have heard of them, ACORN, is out trying to register voters two and three times and they've been caught in the act. You've got the Kerry campaign demanding 6,000 lawyers at these polling places but they will not allow Republican lawyers to be sitting side by side. But one of our problems here is that some of the people voting have no context today. They're just being registered and sent out there with marching orders essentially; World War II generation is dying off. We have people here because of the open border policy. We have people who have not assimilated into our culture. The liberal propaganda resonates with many of them, at least, a large number of them, maybe a growing number of them, because of the "we'll do everything for you" propaganda that liberals are known for.
I'm not trying to be defeatist. I don't want anybody to misunderstand. I just want you to know what the obstacles are here. Before everybody starts dumping on Bush and Rove and everybody else totally, there are some things that you have to understand. We still have history taught by the left in academia. The media has been teaching history for a long time and, you know, some inroads are being made there, tremendous inroads are being made. Progress is taking place but I want to be realistic about some of the obstacles that we still face. You can't have all this history taught by the left, including the media and expect to make huge, huge inroads. This is an election, maybe the first of its kind, with such dramatic demographic changes. And these demographic changes, as long as we don't do something about immigration, are going to continue.
Bush, I hate to say this -- but I mean you know this has been one of my bugaboos since 2000 -- on the domestic side Bush has spent like a liberal. He has spent and spent and spent and spent and spent. But, his problem is he dares to defend his country. So the fact that he dares to defend his country cancels out all the so-called "good," he's doing by spending like a liberal. And I think as I look back at the debate, one little comment about it, as you look back at Bush in that first debate, the last half of that debate, first half I'm telling you was a different story than the last half. There was a big momentum shift, but you look back at the second half of that debate, I think what you saw is the new tone. Maybe even a little bit prevent defense. Don't be mean. Let's not attack, let's not make people dislike us. Let's not get people angry at us and so forth. Of course just the opposite was called for, and just the opposite was what was necessary.
So, you know, I mean one of the examples of this demographic shift I can give you, just so you'll know, I'll give you an illustration. Orange County, California. Orange County always was relied on to offset the Democrat liberal dominance of Los Angeles. But now over 50% of Orange County is minority and immigrant and most of them vote Democrat, most of the new arrivals. The point is that the Republicans, I'm looking long-term here just to give you something to think about, not just this election and not primarily this election, but long-term. The Republicans just cannot expect to keep winning if every election we have to write off California. If every election we have to write off New York, Illinois, and maybe soon Florida, if those states become states that we have to write off simply because of demographic shifts, then you can't expect to win. One of those states, some of those states, are eventually going to have to be mined and cultivated if consistent national victories are to take place.
Then you see all this "Rural Cleansing" eminating from the Legislature and a Governor that was supposed to be on "our side" and one is tempted to dispair! Especially when so many on FR have swooned over our not so conservative new Governor and his brand spanking new Sierra-Nevada CONserVacancy!!!
(i) The practice of government and business going bi-lingual is truly insane, but the multi-culurists have been at this for decades, so it shouldn't shock anyone, (ii) there are federal laws and Supreme Court decisions that require healthcare and education to all people, whether legal or illegal, so there's little individual states can do about it.
As an aside there's nothing in statute or the constitution that grants someone born here automatic citizenship.
Unlike most countries in Europe, which we mistakenly think is going Arabic, the US's interpretation of citizenship is not an ethnic or blood concept.
As I've said above, the popular will is there--we're simply facing political cowardice.
Oh yeah... Sure! Ok, so now could you call Arnie and remind him of how he described at the convention what a "Republic" IS? (and ask him to live up to it in the bills he's signed?)
Good Grief!!!
I would counter that with removing illegals from within our borders!
I like you Tonk, but don't get grouchy with AuntB!!!
"Must everyone be forced to agree with you and go blind for 30 days???"
Why can't this wait till Nov 3?
What is the priority?
IF Kerry wins we are lost forever.
PS I met AuntB in person at Klamath Falls.
Carl Rove take note: you don't get Latino support by kissing their butts.
Excuse me Mr. Hair Shirt. It seems to me that the party of racism is the dumbocrat party. The party that authored the Jim Crow laws in the south, the party that voted against the civil rights laws, the party that still has Sheets Byrd as an esteemed and valued member.
I remember when ol' Sheets let loose with his "I seen a lot of white niggers too" comment on national television that the black leadership was pretty quiet. As a matter of fact, black people vote about 90% dumbocrat and seem pretty comfortable despite the racism that the dumbocrats have and continue to display.
It is the socialsm and the redistribution of wealth that keeps them voting dumbocrat. This will also hook the Mexicans too.
The end of the Republic is nigh and probably civil war too.
???
Ask yourself this, if Bush hadn't intitiated the war in Iraq, if he had stopped with Afghanistan, if he had captured OBL and declared a victory against terror, what would the outcome of this election look like?
My guess...the biggest lanslide in history I bet the GOP would control the senate by a filibuster-proof majority! Bush could then have turned away from his liberal spending ways and acted like a real conservative by slashing programs and cutting taxes.
This war has had some BIG costs. It hope it was worthwhile.
(Are the migrants taking power before expected?)

Add Jeb Bush in Florida and Bill Owen in Colorado, both conservative Republicans in states with a lot of liberals and immigrants and illegals.
Even worse, a hostile foreign ideology, Islam, is being allowed to pour into, and grow within our homeland - providing recruits for terror, infrastructure and financing for terror, and a strengthening voting block willing to thwart any fight against (Islamic) terrorism.
What has always astonished me is why the Black Congressional Caucus has stayed silent on this. First, the illegals are taking jobs that would otherwise be those that used to be filled by their constituencies. When people talk about unemployment of more than 25% among black men, why don't the BCC scream to shut down the borders?
Second, as this country transforms into just another Latin or South American country, the sort of racism and nastiness towards blacks that we see in Brazil, Mexico and the rest will happen here. If Blacks think that the segregation of the South was awful, as they get displaced in more and more places (look at LA), there will be little left for them, and they will be at the very bottom of the social strata.
For politicians of either party, Black support for shutting down the border would be hugely important, for the simple reason that the opposition couldn't then play the racism card.
Where are you Jesse or Kwaze(sp?) or Julian?
Credit for this goes to abortion. The liberals are killing themselves.
Sometimes, I'm not so sure they shouldn't be encouraged as a matter of tactical warfare. Perhaps rolling back Roe, but leaving abortion legal in places like CA, NY, IL, NJ, MD, DC would be the best in this morbid sense. Sun Tzu would approve.
Strictly on issues of fertility, the Democratic ranks will be more quickly replaced. Couple this fact with huge immigration numbers and you're facing a demographic tidal wave.
Yes, but the interesting part is who among the white women are having children.
Leading the pack are Mormons and practicing Catholics.
Trailing way behind are liberal secularists in NY, Boston, and LA.
