That's why it's good for us common folk to actually get involved in politics. It takes more than voting and reading the news. YOU have to get into the trenches: find a guy whom you like (or, at least, who nauseates you less than the others), address envelopes for him, give money to the campaign, go from door-to-door.

And get used to the idea that it's going to take a couple of decades. Goldwater was nominated in 1964 and got crunched. Reagan takes it 16 years later ....

Politics is not an instant gratification bidnis. Right now it looks like a bunch of your fellow citizens disagree with you. Time to do some persuading.

I support the Minute Men.

And I disagree that a bunch of my fellow citizens agree with me now. Back in 04 when they elected this governor, maybe, but now I think the tide has turned and I PRAY, in 08, they elect someone who is serious about protecting our borders and enforcing laws and actually does something about it. :)
