Thanks.

CP issues should be debated. They have some good points, and Immigration is but one of them.

I am a nominal Libertarian, but their open borders and drug legalization policies keep me out of their camp and render them unfit for command, also.

Where is one to go? So I work FRom within the Party to reform the Party.

There are times these days Taxman that I feel like a ping pong ball bouncing madly from side to side in a heated game of table tennis.

I thanks the good Lord for giving us sleep that I may clear my mind and sort my thoughts.

I thank FR for a forum to debate, evaluate, reason, study, and decide.

I know where I stand today and among my stances;

I do not want a repeat of '92.
I do not want amnesty or open borders.
I am solid in the belief our campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan are vital to our national defense.

It is in our best interests that we fight hard within the Republican party, that McCain is not a national voice, that Hagel, Chaffee, Voinavich among others represent their constituents or they will be removed.

Just as I never see myself pulling a "D" lever so do I not see myself pulling a "CP" lever. Sure I might talk tough on threads here and there about consequences to Republicans but talk is cheap.

The bottom line is if I want the best leadership for our Republic, for my family, I will have to choose. And that choice will have to be working within the ruling majority party. That is a position of strength, a position where I must reward the conservatives and shun the jellyfish and warblers.

I remain firm in my prayer, Lord, grant me the steadfastness that I may perform my civic duties this November that I may strengthen our nation.

Your post summed up in a few sentences my thoughts regarding this thread. Thanks

Same here. Open borders (kinda like the republicans and democrats) pretty much kill it for me too. Drug legalization is not an important issue for me, except for the fact that some of the worst legislation and court precidents have come in the name of the WoD.

A herculean task.

We reject the policies and practices that permit women to train for or participate in combat. Because of the radical feminization of the military over the past two decades, it must be recognized that these "advances" undermine the integrity and morale of our military organizations by dual qualification standards and forced integration.

This is also a good view.
