EXACTLY. A political price will be paid in 2006. New motto: 2008 is too late.
Keep in mind the amnesty bill that may clear the way for alien / non-citizen voting. If we do not dump those that are trying to push this (in both parties), and this means you too Democrats... your voice is being replaced at the ballot box and the need to 'reach out' to the will of the legal citizen populace gets flushed. When factions of each party, let's say the NATIONAL SECURITY faction of each party, can be replaced with a block of new voters whose interests are NOT the security of this country, but what they can get from government, meaning taxpayers, this country and it's rule of law, exist no more for the people, but for the government.
Also keep in mind that, when and if that happens, the federal government becomes an illegitimate government.
BINGO!
Unfortunately, you are right. The GOP gets crushed as conservatives throw in the towel:
1] GOP failed to protect our national sovereignty
2] Spineless once again on the filibuster, et al.
You know what our hope is now? Our only hope is that Free Republic.com and other sources of conservatives lead us into a 2nd American Revolution. Our only hope is with the people of this nation--grassroots conservatives, taxpayers and decent people who love freedom--to step forward and demand our nation be returned to us.
If we fail to have a 2nd American Revolution, we lose it all. The GOP has thrown up the French-like white surrender flag.

I agree with your point of view, but I am afraid Democrats generally do not. It seems to me, however, that Democratic lawmakers prefer to be silent on this issue for now, to let the Repubs fight among (and damage) themselves.
It is a fight (I agree with you) we have to have. Unfortunately, the Democratic party apparatus, in my opnion, has been taken over by the Hard Left. It seems their objective is to destroy the US, and they support anything that will do that, albeit they always give some other reason. We will have to see what their reason will be for supporting open borders, but I don't much care---the real unspoken reason will be to destroy the US.
