The thing that bothers me somewhat about the immigration issue is that it's a little like President George H.W. Bush and his "Read my lips..." tax pledge. That got us Perot and, as a result, the Clintons. If Dubya doesn't address this very important (and volatile) issue with something other than Guest Worker appeasement, there will surely be another Third Party movement, perhaps with someone such as Tancredo at its helm.
Tancredo has already ebbed. I understand your point, but if anyone is to fear by going 3rd party (Independent) it's McCain.
We need troops on the border, but I really think it'll take another terrorist hit traceable to the porous border before anyone in our pitiful congressional houses actually vote what they most assuredly know is right.
You'd like that, huh?
