Voter rejection will indeed be huge in 2006. And it won't be because fringe Republican groups missed the mark and missed the issue by misrepresenting the illegal alien question.

There will be no questions. It will be completely bipartisan.

The lines will be clearly marked with the Open Border Lobbyists (Underground Economy Advocates) and the "Restrictionists" as your source points out - those making a stand against illegal alien immigration.

It will definitely be interesting.

==========================================

To date at least, restrictionism hasn't been a political winner.

Earlier this year in California, GOP state Senator Rico Oller ran for Congress by passing out fliers depicting Mexican aliens as turbaned terrorists. He lost the March primary to Dan Lungren, the pro-immigrant opponent he was attacking in the fliers.

Nor did immigrant-bashing help Jim Oberweis of Illinois in his recent Senate bid. In radio spots Mr. Oberweis suggested that the immigrants not here to steal U.S. jobs are only here to collect welfare.

Voters rejected such rhetoric and awarded the primary to Jack Ryan, a vocal supporter of the President's immigration reform.

"Voter rejection will indeed be huge in 2006."

I doubt it. It wasn't nine months ago when almost all of the anti-illegals on FR claim that they voted for President Bush. If even the most rabid Antis on FR voted for, gave money to and worked phone banks for the Republican candidates last year, they will again next year.

Nothing has changed.
