I questioned my allegiance to the Republican Party. I think if someone charasmatic comes along who actually has a plan to curb immigration, a serious Third Party will be born

FWIW:

The NSDAP (a small third party) was embolstered in times like these.

Ping to post #90 - this James Chaney is a real lawyer, not affiliated with "McKenzie Commercial."

If these people were real (?) Republicans, thier core values were shallow to say the least.
Not every party is perfectly matched to what you hold as values, the best we can do is find a party that matches the majority of our values and work to change the party from within to change the others.
To flip, and flop .. well there are no values there.

Looks like this Chaney feller is suffering from some sort of malady. I'd recommend a Corvette and he should return to normal (if he was ever a member of the stupid party in the first place).....in Eugene OR he might be as close to a Republican as one can get.

I don't know, either- but Eugene isn't a huge town.

It's not the same guy...James A Chaney isn't the same as the lawyer.

Bet they're related...

So, curbing illegal invaders and trepassers is Nazi'ism???

Right. Let's see the tune you sing when a truckload show up at your house and litter and throw garbage all over the place.

I knew somebody would post something like that, I didn't think it would be so fast. So, we must BLINDLY follow the GOP? I'll tell you, they are pissing me off.

What a load of nonsense!

We're poisoning our planet through gluttony and ignorance.

How? In what way? What kind of poison?

We're teetering on the brink of self-inflicted insolvency.

The deficit just went down by about a hundred billion dollars. How is that teetering on the brink of insolvency?

We're selfishly and needlessly sacrificing the best of a generation.

Yeah, spreading freedom is pretty selfish, isn't it? Why don't you ask "the best of that generation" if they think they are being needlessly sacrificed. It seems to me that the majority of our military knows what the mission involves and they are one hundred percent in favor of completing it.

And we're lying about it.

Prove it. This little statement tells me that the author of this piece wasn't anything close to being a Republican, and most likely hangs out with the moveon crowd. And the poster probably is too.

I am so sick of these people who throw the labels around when you question things.

I am as conservative as anyone, but that does not mean I sip the GOP kool-aide when they are wring, which they have been on many many issues lately.

Support for those decisions was gathered through what appeared at the time to be spin and marketing,

I can't honestly say that I fully bought in to all the sabre-rattling rhetoric that preceded the war...
But I'm willing to give the Administration a "pass" on this issue...
When push comes to shove (and it did), Saddam Hussein sealed his own fate...
Papa Bush shoulda finished the job in Gulf I...
Klintoon should polished him off when he repeatedly ignored the "no fly" terms...
Continuing the UN peacekeeper "inspection" charade was not an option because of the Oil-for-Food scam...
So what if Iraq is more about securing the oil fields than spreading democracy?
I may find many of the details distasteful, but the left-wing UN alternative was worse.
My only complaint is that they captured the SOB alive,
now we're going to have to waste a pile of money to put him through some kind of "trial" someday.
Sheeesh, shoulda just dropped a grenade down that "spider hole" he was hiding in...
give him the Mussolini treatment and hung his tattered carcass upside down in public with some piano wire.
Then we wouldn't have had to put up with the silliness of the media publishing "humiliating" pictures of him in his skivvies.
Yep, a grenade down that spider hole woulda solved all that.

My only question is: Did your tender parts shrivel when you posted this drivel?

I'm not registered as GOP. In fact, I tend to lean libeartarian/constitutionalist. I tend to vote republican, but not always.

I am only making an observation that there are many political similarities to what happen in pre WWII germany with what is happening here.

Abslutely not. Unless I see changes in the GOP, I intend to vote elsewhere.

Again, it was only an observation of the politcal times.

I live in NYC outer area. English is becoming a second language and it stinks! Those of us who deal with these "trusted trespassers" understand full well that really should not be here and do not have any loyalty to this country.

Call it what you want, but we are being invaded. Maybe where you live it is not like that, but I am seeing what you may 5 or ten years down the road.

For many, it is easy making the type of statements you did.

However, there were hundredfs of 1000's of citzens who were killed and sacrificied their lives for this country and what it stands for. Many of us are sick of the what seems to be the wholesale sellout of that sacrifice in favor of cheap labor from Mexico and other countries.
