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.
You are obviously wearing blinders to those who are PISSED.
Do so at your own peril!
I had high hopes for this president on day one.
Chasing away conservatives with honest questions serves to destroy the conservative base the Republican Party needs at this juncture in time. Rather than bashing conservative FReepers posting here, please post your idea of constructive answers to the problem at hand.
By the way, there's a lot of difference between people bashing the President and people who want existing immigration laws enforced (no bashing in THAT whatsoever).
as for the GOP BEFORE COUNTRY posters here ignore them they have an agenda and perhaps are paid posters who knows?? IF their posts ring a bit
too loyal to the GOP you will know them.
I have supported and campaigned for President Bush. I am a solid Republican and came to the Republican Party after the Democratic Party left me in 1992.
I am begining to think that the Republican Party is leaving me too.
This is a no load situation. No illeagal immigration. Period. Your caught, you are deported. Caught twice? Dropped from a chopper into the Gulf.
