I agree it would be stupid to vote for Kerry or Hillary, but where the hell are the conservative policies we expected when Bush was elected. I am very mad about many issues, most of them are because of illegal immigration and spending. The had better change or the base will not turn out. They need all of us !!
Thank you for a reasonable response. I am not happy about the border situation, but to hammer Bush to the point of trying to run the GOP out of power over that one issue is counterintuitive. He has had/has perhaps the fullest plate of any president. Beyond that, the consequences of "teaching the GOP a lesson" are grave because we will wind up with rats. If you aren't happy with things now, just imagine all the complainin' then.

Why don't you one issue folk try learning some facts -
Sorry - I don't want to disturb you stiff neck bashers with any facts - you might also want to ask yourself "What did Clinton do for 8 years?"
Now, I'm really going to get under your skin. A wall - how many hundreds and hundreds of miles? - is yesterdays methods. There are walls along the border - that they cut holes through, climb over, tunnel under. Walls don't stop them...
We have new detection devices, increased agents, better detention and return - etc...but I don't see that on the MSM. NOTHING Bush is doing to improve what has been going on for DECADES is in the media.
We republicans should be using our energy to get that out to the public, instead of aiding and abetting the libs and the MSM.
If we go down this fall, it's all over.
You one issue bashers who demand the whole pie or none, may get your wish - but you'll wish you didn't.
Well, Bush never really campaigned as a conservative, for the most part. He was a "compassionate conservative".
It makes no sense to abandon "the GOP" because President Bush has done some things we don't like. He's not the guy up for reelection. What the GOP does nationally shouldn't really matter at all either when you're talking about Congressional races, because your vote should be based on the guys who are on the ballot in the particular races in which you are voting.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why how Arlen Spector or any other RINO votes should affect whether I'm willing to support a particular Republican in a race.
