This guy wasn't a Conservative or a Repub in the first place if Dems look better to him.
A wall solves nothing....in fact there already are walls along long sections of our borders....
When the reality is all these polls are already behind the curve....our base is already coming back together...and we will only continue to do so up until Nov -
Our soldiers alone who are off fighting on distance shores deserve a hell of a lot more then for us to allow the ilk of the anti-military, anti-America, anti-success in the WOT Democrats to hold a majority in Congress. Our GOP base will not allow that - We will not put our narrow political views on a few issues above that of our fighting men and women.
We will not allow that to happen. We will not help in sticking that knife in their backs. Which is exactly what will have been done to each and every one of our soldiers if we allow the DEMs to gain a majority in congress.
In a big sort of way.
I don't spend as much time here as you do, most likely, but I don't agree with you on this. This president has been EXTREMELY disappointing to many of us who two years ago would have walked through a wall for him. I posted this article because I found it totally accurate, especially that last paragraph in the excerpt above. This presidency exists because conservatives were convinced twice that this president would hold the line on spending and keep the country safe. Rove and company really did think they had a floor of about 35-40% hard core Republican support below which they could not fall. Yet even the Washington Post feels it safe to trumpet the fact that spending has set a RECORD for increases in the last five years. And the country may be safer from terrorists from Afghanistan and Iraq than it was five years ago, which is great and important; but meanwhile we're being invaded from the south and this president is doing nothing but urging us to sit back and take it.
If the Rats take over, I'll remember that you voted for them, either directly or indirectly.
The Post and others are in full scale reinforcement of conservative discouragement: "It's no use voting. Bush is at 31%, he can never recover, Republicans are turning on each other."
It's about voter suppression now, and it's working.
On FR, the bitching and bellyaching is ongoing from the Donner party.
After the election, if the Dems are elected to the House, the bitching and bellyaching will continue.
These people have NEVER been happy with Bush and the Republicans in Congress, and they never will be.
I for one think it's gone on way too long. And I'm a conservative and a Vet.
Inside that excellent link you provided:
Since President Bush took office, agents have apprehended and sent home more than 6 million people entering the country illegally - including more than 400,000 with criminal records.
Federal, State, local, and tribal law enforcement are working together. More than 600,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended through the Arizona Border Control Initiative last year - an increase of more than 50 percent over the previous year. The men and women of our Border Patrol have made good progress - but we have much more work ahead, and we will not be satisfied until our agents have full control of our border.
This is a 30 year problem and they should come up with effective policy in dealing with it. Top priority is keeping more illegals from getting in, lower priority is throwing the ones already in out or converting them to legals.
They are not going to round all of them up and throw them out so you can forget that option. But they will go after the businesses that hire illegals which will dry a lot of it up. It will be a combination of round some up and earned amnesty for the rest.
They are not going to build a publicly financed wall. It's not going to happen from a political standpoint because opponents would demogogue it "Mr. Bush tear down this wll ...". So that ain't gonna happen. However, The Minuteman and other orgs will build some walls which will help. The feds will increasingly send in more guards and perhaps troops to shut it down.
So I think the issue will be slowly addressed over time. It will never be fully addressed perfectly. I'm just not falling for this dem manufactured issue to divide the base. A 30 year old problem suddenly gets turned into a crisis. Give me a break.
Again?
Oh, man, they just eat this stuff up, don't they?
President Bush has been disappointing on some major issues, but I'll always be tremendously grateful for his pro-life stance (which for me was of utmost importance).
A set of FENCES is easier to see through and shoot through.
The media read websites like FR, and they can see all the talk of staying home, supporting Democrats, supporting third parties, favoring impeachment.
The Post and others are in full scale reinforcement of conservative discouragement: "It's no use voting. Bush is at 31%, he can never recover, Republicans are turning on each other."
-
Bush could turn it around on a dime.
WHY DOESN'T HE??
One of them hit a thread about a kid in Texas with rabies, FGS. Nothing's off limits, apparently.
That says alot, Peach. Seems some don't get far from their chosen bridge these days. ;)
Well, is it time for a re-fresher course yet....should I bring out the facts?
LOL!
Oh so if you're not in favor of voluntarily ceding the Southwest United States to a foreign nation - that makes one a troll?
And the Minutemen are, I suppose, "vigilantes"?
