And now we get to the good stuff.
Totally agree with Rush on these 2 issues.
The Republicans need to realize who got them elected, and re-elected. Conservatives will bolt from the party (or stay home) if the Republicans don't listen. Then we'll get a Democrat, the worst of all worlds.

I honestly thought Bush would take a hard line on securing the boarder after the election. I am still waiting, but starting to doubt him on this issue. This issue should be a no brainer.
Rush is echoing National Review's recent cover story on this issue.
"Search" is our friend. This was posted only an hour and a half ago.
It is imperative that conservatives hold the party's feet to the fire lest they succumb to the pressure to buy off interest groups in search of a greater plurality. Over the long term, the Republicans will live or die based on the economic security of the country, and that will require some politically difficult belt tightening in the next few years. I pray the Congress has the guts for it because the White House has shown no inclination toward fiscal restraint.
Interesting.
This is the first time I have heard Rush stray from Bush, at least in a long while. I remember a little over a year ago Bush floated trial balloons for amnesty and the guest worker program. Many in the GOP were outraged because even though getting more of the Hispanic vote is important, having an open border policy during wartime is utter madness. In fact, I specifically remember Rush saying that Bush was “principled” and it made me take his show with a grain of salt even since.
The spending has also gotten out of control and it is a major problem now. Many people have swallowed their opinions on spending because we are in a war on terror. However, we have a better grip on things and its time to get fiscally conservative again. Otherwise, you may hand the democrats one of the few weapons they have, although we all know they would spend more on worthless government programs like fisting workshops.
Mr. Kobylt says talk radio has tasted blood on the immigration issue and he expects other hosts around the country to now pick up on the issue. "Republicans are in bed with businesses who like low labor costs, and Democrats have this socialist bent," he says. "But the taxpayers in this country cannot be responsible for a corrupt, bankrupt country like Mexico. We should start throwing employers in jail, a few fat rich white guys in prison."
Approaches like that, or Pat Buchanan's idea of a reverse Berlin Wall, are neither desirable or politically possible to implement.
And why exactly is that ? What is undesirable about putting chronic lawbreakers in jail ? Shouldn't rich white people have to obey the law, too ? Hasn't the experience of the last decade shown that when you target career criminals, crime overall drops sharply ?
Each of us needs to start at home. Call or write your elected reps today, and continue until they see the light. If they put on sun glasses, give someone else your vote.

Some things, like El Rushbo, are worth posting twice. Thanks for all your replies, and let's all ensure our President and elected officials make the Right decisions on enforcing our borders and reforming immigration laws.
When even Rush begins to get it, the President had better re-examine his stand on the issue.

Limbaugh warns Bush
on illegal immigration
Radio talk-show giant spurred
by Mexico attack on Arizona law

WASHINGTON – Rush Limbaugh, the radio talk-show giant with more than 20 million listeners, is poised to add his considerable voice to those calling on President Bush to heed popular opinion on issues of tightening border security and enforcing immigration laws, WorldNetDaily has learned.
"We cannot maintain our sovereignty without securing and protecting our borders in an era when terrorists around the world seek entry to this country," he said Friday in a private gathering in Florida.
Limbaugh has not been an outspoken critic of the president on this issue in the past. Neither has he focused much of his broadcast attention on the border and immigration issues during his nearly two-decade career as a nationally syndicated radio talk-show host. Instead, Limbaugh is perceived as a champion of many Bush policies.
But, clearly, Limbaugh sees Bush as out of step with the public in his continued calls for implementation of a guest worker program that has been characterized by critics as an amnesty plan for as many as 20 million illegal aliens already in the country,
Limbaugh said he was particularly disturbed by statements Friday by Mexico's Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez threatening to appeal to international courts a new Arizona law barring illegal aliens from collecting some public benefits.
Proposition 200, approved overwhelmingly by voters in that state Nov. 2, has already survived critical legal tests in state and U.S. courts.
Bush already is facing mounting opposition to his guest worker plan in the House Republican caucus. A year ago, Rep. Tom Tancredo was a lonely voice of opposition to the plan. Today, he says, there are at least 180 Republican votes against the plan. House Speaker Dennis Hastert is on record as saying the plan will not move forward in the House without majority Republican support.
"Rush has 20 million listeners a week, so if he decides to attack President Bush's plan to regularize immigration flows through a guest-worker program, he could help kill the idea," said Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund.
In a White House news conference last week, Bush continued to promote his ideas about immigration reform: "I know there's a compassionate, humane way to deal with this issue. I want to remind people that family values do not stop at the Rio Grande River. People are coming to our country to do jobs that Americans won't do, to be able to feed their families. And I think there's a humane way to recognize that, at the same time protect our borders, and at the same way to make sure that we don't disadvantage those who have stood in line for years to become a legal citizen. And I'm looking forward to working with people of both parties on the issue."
Meanwhile, a leading member of his own party last week announced sweeping measures aimed at cracking down on the ability of terrorists to travel within the United States.
The Real ID Act, introduced by Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., looks to deny drivers licenses to illegal aliens, tighten the political asylum system abused by terrorists, plug a three-mile hole in the border fence between California and Mexico near San Diego, and strengthen deportation laws to more quickly oust foreign terrorists dwelling in the U.S.
"American citizens have the right to know who is in their country, that people are who they say they are, and that the name on a driver's license is the holder's real name, not some alias," said Sensenbrenner, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee.
"The 9-11 hijackers could have used their passports to board the planes, but only one did. Why? Those murderers chose our driver's licenses and state IDs as their forms of identification because these documents allowed them to blend in and not raise suspicion or concern. Mohammed Atta received a six-month visa to stay in the U.S. yet received a Florida driver's license good for six years!"
He says the act, which has 115 cosponsors in the House, would establish a uniform rule that temporary driver's licenses for foreign visitors expire when their visa terms expire, and create tough rules for confirming identity before temporary driver's licenses are issued.
Keep telling all y'all, Limbaugh can be included, you're watching his left hand while his right hand is working. That is all, carry on.
BTTT!!!
