I don't doubt that there are many disatisfied Republicans and many who are really mad. Maybe the closer to the stove, the easier one is burned. But I would hope conservatives would look at the legitimately excellent things Bush has done and not cut off their noses to spite their faces. I'm a recent convert (1996) to the Republican Party, and I can state that I am much happier politically as a conservative Republican than as a conservative Democrat. I'll reiterate that I'm not happy with spending and illegal immigration either. But I'm not jumping ship to swim back to the Dems or sailing off in my own direction.

Put pressure on elected Republican officials to do the right thing. Send letters to the White House. But let's not lose site of the larger issue of the war on terror where the president needs our full support. Illegal immigration problems and overspending are issues that can be resolved much easier than winning a war or keeping an economy going.

Nobody has done anything substantive about illegal immigration for decades including Republican presidents. Yet Bush is treated like he created the problem. If we put the screws to our elected officials, we can get something good out of this mess. Let's not get discouraged or hysterical.

Allowing these marches by persons in our country illegally to continue is just plain stupid. GW ought to be impeached for political stupidity if nothing else.

When the dems win the next round of congressional elections they'll move to impeach GW. I'm gonna laugh when they do, becaue he'll deserve it.
