Rather than posting the same post over and over, I will simply give my top 10 domestic issues - let me know if this makes me a flaming liberal too: #1 Overturn Roe v. Wade (and when that is done, my new top domestic priority will be working to outlaw abortion in my State) #2 Encourage adoption alternatives #3 Protect the First Amendment right to free exercise of religion #4 Keep the U.S. economy growing and interest rates / inflation low #5 Reform the tax code and keep government spending under control, starting with the abolition of the United States Department of Education #6 Drill for more oil, build more processing and power plants (including nuclear), and encourage alternative energy sources #7 Oppose the rounding up illegals with mass deportations, tearing marriages and families apart with no concern that U.S. citizens are involved #8 Fight the homosexual and other sexual perversion agendas #9 Stop all government support for gambling and oppose expansion of government run health care, gun control, and other issues reserved to the States #10 Impeach activist judges

I don't like Draconian immigration laws that ignore the very freedom that made this country great.

I also agree Reagan was the best - which is why he signed the last Amnesty law on November 6, 1986.

Nice try but unlike some of those today I'm convinced Reagan would not make that same mistake over since all it did was encourage more of those you sympathize with to invade our country. As they say, fool me once...

I am more convinced Reagan would not make the same mistakes he did re: terrorists actually. Did you see my list of a few "more important" domestic issues than illegal immigration - are ANY of those more important to you?

...but everytime I ponder whether or not I could support McCain in a POTUS bid I just remember his co-sponsorship, with Ted Kennedy of all people, of a massive amnesty bill and the answer is 'no.'

Never forget McStain is one of the Keating 5 that skated during the S&L scandal...and he's funded by George Soros!

'Nuff said!

Nope, illegal immigration is the number one issue facing this country today. Washington politicos have no choice but to deal with it because most of us complaining millions aren't going away.

"U.S. Chamber of Commerce"

Ah, our old checked-pants, cheap-labor-at-any-cost friends are now weighing in. Why not sell out the country in order to be able to hire coolies at bargain basement wages?

Well, we will just have to agree to disagree on that and whether Reagan would think it was a mistake too.

True enough, but every once in a while I ponder the following; what if McCain were to get the nomination? I then try to find the silver-lining. And when I do that, I tell myself that there is at least a small chance he might make good SCOTUS picks, but then again he hasn't exactly been out there championing the cause of Roberts and Alito, and had he lent his influence to ending filibusters last spring, then perhaps we'd be on the verge of an Emilio Garza or Edith Jones or Janice Rogers Brown or Mark Pryor nomination should there be another vacancy.

And then I think, 'he can't be any worse than Bush on immigration', but then things like this tell me, 'yes, yes he can be.'
