"I Hillary Rodham Clinton do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President..."
Kiss my Buttock
They're not getting it. They are just not getting it.
i have supported him faithfully, as i believe he has been unflinching in the war on terror, but, for some reason, he has a weak spot where illegals are concerned.
it is possible republicans can lose an election in many states over this single issue. it is THE issue next election.
That will never happen.
This insanity must be defeated at all costs. If conservatives, who elect these people into office cannot keep them from imposing unwanted policies on us and the country then there's no use in staying in the party is there?
no, they are not
and blaming Bush's failed so far attitude towards illegal immigration on business interests alone is folly
it's a philosophical issue for him and some other notables (wink)
I will support this "new" amnesty program if 100% of all Bush family asettes are included in the bill to pay the costs of these lawbreakers..... And the assettes of any other politico who chooses to support such a plan.
But that will never happen - it's not in their personal best interest.
We gripe all the time here about the DemocRATs often blatant conflict of interest/being bought and paid for by special interests, etc. Well, someone please convince me that GW and family are not in the same type of conflict here. They may not personally rely on illegals for their family fortune, but they obviously have friends and supporters (read that financial) that DO use illegals extensively. Otherwise, why would these people be so eager to throw away our nation's laws and sovereignty?
I place the lack of enforcement of our borders very close to the same level of treason as Clintoon's giveaway (sale) of our missile technology.
Right now, I am in favor of a new Joseph McCarthy - but this time, instead of a campaign to expose communists (although that would likely come out too!), this effort would be to expose treason by our nation's "leaders". The Clintons, the Bush family (don't anyone say they are totally innocent), and all other politicians and public figures who support the giveaway of our national sovereignty - regardless of their supposed political party or association.
But - we will continue on the road of "Status Quo" and one day in the not-so-distant future, we will wake up an say "what happened to our country".
I, for one, cannot comprehend how a President who has sworn to upon the Constitution to protect this nation from foreign and domestic enemies can sit back and shrug his shoulders at the dangerous illegal problem.
We don't owe illegals anything. There shouldn't even be discussion of a "guest-worker" program.
Depends on the nominee.
I'd like to see Kyl run for President!!
George W. Bush's abandonment of the United States border with Mexico has handed the Democrates full reigns in 2008.
2006 will be a bloodlust.
The silver lining here though is that with this attitude, it's less and less likely that McCain will get the GOP nomination in 2008...
At some point legislation on this issue was going to reach critical mass. Now is the time for the 'majority of Americans' to voice their opposition and compel big changes to any legislation before it becomes law.
The only way I can think of is to stop funding the Republican Party across the board. Every time you get a phone call or something comes in the mail let them know you will not give them 2 cents until they take real action on immigration. That is what I have been doing for months.
I get a call, they give their 'we have to fight the Democrats' speech and can you please send us $100. I respond, do something about illiegal immigration and then call me. If we can get enough people to multiple that response they will get the message.
Maybe start a web site - stopgopfunding.com?
There's only one thing that prevents me from rejecting Bush's plan outright- if we are going to have a guest-worker program (and I wish were weren't but both major plans have such a program), then if we don't allow those already here to be the guest workers, then we'll just have to import even MORE Mexicans. And that's the last thing I want.
I wish we WOULD have mass deportations, but given the political realities and the inevitability of a guest worker program, maybe Bush's program isn't as bad as, say, McCain's.
