Glad to see the Senator SAYING some of the right things.
Of course, the current occupant of the Oval Ofice is SAYING some of the right things....

I've seen George Allen speak. He's terrible.
To compare him in any way to Reagan is laughable. Try Bob Dole.

Was Goldwater a great speaker? No better than the average Rotarian.

Methinks he's been receiving a few emails and letters from his constituents. Let's hope the rest of Congress is also.
To: EternalVigilance
Cut of the same cloth, they are.
Neither Bush nor Allen intends to back up any pro-border security rhetoric with real action.
Ask Allen what he thinks of a fence.

Ronald Reagan was THE leader of the conservative movement. He ran the movement from the Oval Office.
The lack of which is why the current officeholder is no Reagan....
The next Republican nominee needs to be the true leader of the conservative movement, as he should be.
The thought that some would think George Allen deserves that title makes me laugh, too.

Are you saying George Allen is in league with Goldwater?
Please.

"...Allen said: "We should not reward illegal behavior because all you'll get is more illegal behavior.""
Unhunh...I like what he says but TALK IS CHEAP.....
Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I feel like a complete clown after voting for "conservatives" since 1994.

He can also claim to be a cowboy. Did I hear he chews tobacco?Yes. He does. I've met him and he had a chew after his speech.
To: Gelato
Ask Allen what he thinks of a fence. I hear tell he believes in 'virtual' fences.
Typical Washington pap. The emperor has virtual clothes...

Well done.
Exactly as I stated in shorthand in post # 18 ;)

ALLEN: I think you need to do all of them. You need to do all of them. I think that politicians, as others, can change as they learn more about a topic. Allen obviously is willing to listen to opinions other than his own. He is still for a multifaceted solution, but strongly in favor of border security first. It sounds like a winner to me.
To: johnny7
Who are you holding out for... Mario the Pious? It's quite simple. All I ask is for a president to:
- Protect the life of citizens by taking border security seriously.
- Protect life from conception until natural death.
That really should not be too much to ask.

Never hold out hope that a politician is sincere when he changes his tune to what you want to hear.
His tendency to flip-flop will do no more for Allen than it did for John Kerry.

But I'm always suspicious of politicians who are 'late to the game' and then somehow think they should lead the parade.
Maybe after a decade of George Allen leading on the border issues and on abortion and on the gay agenda...truly leading and not feeding us squishy pap...THEN perhaps I'll start to believe that his nice rhetoric is anything but empty rhetoric.

Ronnie's record on illegal immigration was none too spectacular. In the post-9/11 era, benign neglect is not OK.
