The politicians in Washington seem to be completely out of touch with the people. I am fed up with them, and after reading the posts on this thread (including some directed to me) I realized that MANY people, including the Republican base and Middle America, are as fed up as I am--apparently even moreso.
Furthermore, just yesterday, I saw my brother-in-law and his wife for the first time in months. They are both raving Democrats--especially the wife. But they went on and on and on--not about Bush and the Republicans--but about illegal immigration! They are beside themselves with fury! This is the main issue but not the only issue--AND--I found myself agreeing with them--for the first time ever!
It appears to me that--unless Bush and the rest of the Republicans pull a rabbit out of a hat--the Republicans are going to get thrown out of Congress this November--not because of the relentless, ruthless drumbeat of anti-Bush propaganda eminating from the Left, especially the "Mainstream Newsmedia", since the 2000 election, which endured the electorate to resist Leftist influence--but because the Republicans' failures have infuriated and alienated their base support!
What concerns me is that the Democrats will NOT stop illegal immigration or protect the borders. The Democrats will ENCOURAGE illegal immigration because they expect it to enlarge their base support.
The Republicans might stop illegal immigration and close the borders though it's not likely.
Maybe a defeat of the Republican Congress in November 2006 will wake them up to reality, and maybe a wake-up call like that it what the nation needs. We certainly need to throw the RINOs out!
The problem is...how to get the Democrats out of Congress, once in, and how to keep them out of the White House.
And this fact cannot be escaped: No matter how bad the Republicans get--the Democrats are worse--much worse!
