Amen! The GOP should be swiftly punished for this betrayal. The ONLY thing the GOP cares about is holding office, the only way to hold them accountable is to kick them out of office.

I would confine my criticism to the White House, a good portion of our Senators, and certain RINO traitors in the House.

But we need to remember that the House overall passed a good enforcement-only bill.

They're heroes in my book.

We've worked too hard for too many years to go throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I hope you are right -- but I have zero confidence the House will hold firm. Boehner, who replaced DeLay, voted against the Sensenbrenner bill the first time (one of 17 GOPers to do so) and Hastert has said he's for guest worker programs. If the White House pushes, I doubt more than 80 of the GOP folks will hold firm. I hope you are right and I am wrong, believe me!

And I worked to get a conservative majority. My first vote in 1976 was for Reagan in the Reagan-Ford primary -- I didn't join the GOP to side with the Fords of the world! Right now if there was an even half-way viable third party, I'd join it.

You got the GOP House right. I will not vote for my CAFTA-loving Republican CongressCritter in whatever or whenever his next race is, however.
