We'll take it however we can get it.
Right on the mark. Here's my letter to Cornyn. I sent the same to Hutchison.
"Dear Senator Cornyn,
I am extremely disturbed by the direction the immigration debate is proceeding in the Senate. All I hear is talk of what amounts to amnesty for over twelve million aliens illegally residing in my country. Until the boarder is sealed completely, I want to hear zero talk of "guest worker programs". Both you know and I know that any kind of meaningful work program will be useless until the boarder is secured. Period!
Senator, I voted for you the last time you ran for office. If you vote for any plan regarding this alien invasion debacle that doesn't seal the borders good and tight first, you will receive no further votes from me or mine. That goes for any other Republican in elected office as well. I am watching your every move on this one. "
I have no idea. If an article is about illegal aliens and the writer continuously uses euphemisms to describe them, I send them an e-mail and call them on it. Usually all I get in return is an automated reply or else a lecture about "sensitive issues" or referrals to the Associated Press style guides, i.e.

A Very Fine Letter!
Yesterday, while listening to the radio, CNN News at the top of the hour came on. After reporting Bush's comments they reported (actually more like editorialized!) that he was doing this out of weakness.
The illegal invasion has concentrated the attention of Americans on the nature of democracy and its central bulwark against anarchy---our Constitution and the rule of law.
A pity the pushers didn't factor in that Americans can spot a hidden agenda a mile away. Bandying about a bill that treats these drugged-out lawbreakers better than law-abiding US citizens was about as dumb as you can get.
The arrogance of these illegal mental midgets----lettuce pickers and hamburger flippers, protesting in the streets. These imbeciles actually believe waving the Mexican flag in our faces helps their case.
Some lowlife drug lord actually told these morons that Americans are a bunch of suckers who cannot see past the smoke and mirrors, and that we would sit still for their abhorent amnesty bill.
The drug cadres, the pushers and smugglers, are hiding behind the backsides of our vote-hungry US elected officials, all puckered up to fellate these hyphenates.
No one is impressed by this conspiracy of spineless marionettes dancing limply on the strings of corruption, manipulated by the unseen alien horde puppetmasters lurking behind the scenes, ready to pounce on US assets.
Of course they did. They are all a bunch of cowards and where will they all be during the next attack. Safe and secure making sure they keep their butts out of harms way! Each day I think to myself why do thousands of people die on 911 but then why is it going to happen again?
You better believe it! Because WE the American people are the ones who have to look out for each other because we love our country and it's people. They are only looking out for themselves.
CNN's wrong again. The President isn't doing this out of weakness. It certainly isn't earning him brownie points with anyone I know. I think on this issue he just doesn't have a clue. He's misunderestimating his base yet again, as with Harriet Miers and DP World. Fox radio news played excerpts of the address yesterday where he again said his plan wasn't amnesty. What a nerve! I was yelling at the radio. I am so tired of being played for a fool!
On so many issue the President is fabulous. But every so often that Rockefeller country club Republican upbringing rears its ugly head.
And Bush doesn't?>
boneheads
Or better yet, stop trying.
Seriously, find another burning passion. Take up drinking again. Kiss even more men in public. But on your dream of Amerexico, the home country you want so very bad for my children, just give it a break, just a little pause, until say ... January 2009.
So Bush is blaming a Democrat for killing the immigration bill. I assume he's talking about himself.
