I LIKE that idea - screw up the system.
I don't follow Arizona politics to closely, but how does McCain get elected for the Senate?
Neither party wants to confront the issue, because they see it as a political loser. Booting the GOP out will not solve the problem, but rather, make it worse. The Dems see it as a political winner. If they can lock up the fastest growing and biggest minority, i.e., Hispanics, like they have the black vote, they will control this country again like they did for almost 60 years. Remember, today one out of almost every three Dem voters is black or Hispanic.
The GOP is split beteen the elites and big business and the conservative core. It cannot win elections with this split now or even less in the future due to demographics. The GOP is scared to death to antagonize the Hispanic vote, which votes majority Dem but not in lock step like the black vote. If the truth be told, we have already alienated many Hispanics because the MSM and Dems have portrayed the GOP has being in hospitable to immigrants. That is devastating in a country, which has currently 33.1 million foreign born residents, equal to 11.5 percent of the U.S. population.
Bush his not caving in, he is leading the charge to surrender America to Mexico.
When RINOs get elected pretending to be Republicans, they screw everything up and the public blames Republican political philosophy.
That's why its better that Dems get in than RINOs. Then when they inevitably srew things up, real Republicans can a have a better crack at flushing them down the drain.
A traitor is always worse than an open enemy.
You can now put your head back into the sand dune.
Is Hugh Hewitt also supposedly in the DU suddenly? I don't think so. If anything, he is soft-pedalling this so that the Administration doesn't tune out...and go bubble-mode... instantly.
You pro-Alienists need to get real...and face the electoral carnage that you are already causing. Not just in the future...now.
What if your party loses their majority in the midterm elections due to ones actions or lack of action.
This is the real GWB.
The idea that this is some sort of the-mask-is-off revelation of a politician who's no longer accountable to the voters is pure bunk.
It's the same man who ran for president in 2000 and 2004 stating the exact same views. It's what he believed as governor of Texas, it's what he believed in winning two national elections.
Whether you love his position or hate it, Bush's position on illegal immigration should come as no surprise to anyone other than the ignorant. Bush is simply keeping his campaign promises.
I'll bet you never get picked for a jury panel.
the democrats had the majority in 86...
Then American citizenship is "arbitrary".
LOL, you really want to use Ronald Reagan??? Reagan supported tight borders, but he also supported wide open doors. Reagan legalized 2.8 million undocumented workers.
Reagan: ""It makes one wonder about the illegal alien fuss. Are great numbers of our unemployed really victims of the illegal alien invasion or are those illegal tourists actually doing work our own people won't do? One thing is certain in this hungry world; no regulation or law should be allowed if it results in crops rotting in the fields for lack of harvesters."
Reagan at Ellis Island in 1982 spoke movingly of immigrants who "possessed a determination that with hard work and freedom, they would live a better life and their children even more so."
So please go ahead an use Ronald Reagan. Reagan's views are identical to mine.
I doubt there are economic "Supply / Demand" graphs at the border which are adhered to by Pedro & Maria.
And you think I support abortion??? Get a clue before you post garbage.
Numbers for our revolutionary war, 33% for. 33% against, 33% could care less.
The President should take a few minutes alonee, sit down in front of a mirror, and tell himself, "I CAN defend our borders, I CAN enforce our laws. I'm strong enough, I'm smart enough and, doggoneit, people used to like me."
