Most folks on the right voted for Bush despite his stance on a guest worker program, not because of it. And apparently he or his staffers either cannot hear the rising din over this matter, think we'll just hold our noses like we've done in the past in matters such as spending and education, or they just simply don't care.
None of those possibilities bode well for the GOP this election.
That said, please explain how Rats in charge help our cause. I find no advantage to giving up the high ground on the battlefield. Why can't we work to improve the quality of our representatives while at the same time CRUSHING THE LIFE FROM OUR TRUE ENEMIES ON THE LEFT?
I have never said I want the Rats to win. I stand with the GOP House on this issue - you know, the guys up for election this year. And my position is that Bush MUST drop his call for a guest worker program, or else Bush could well erode support for the GOP House and help a Dem victory.
"And my position is that Bush MUST drop his call for a guest worker program, or else Bush could well erode support for the GOP House and help a Dem victory."
I apologise, I have gotten the horse before the cart. I submit that when the House does compromise with the Senate you will probably be on the 'throw the bums out band wagon.' With so many people in this country illegally, we must do something beyond closing the borders.
One of two things can happen:
1) Compromise
2) No immigration reform.
I am thinking 1 is still better than 2 if we get control of the border. So in reality the drop the guest worker program thing won't fly.
