I'm sick of being labelled a RINO, when I'm probably to the right of you on Abortion, Economics and other social policies. I'm just someone who realizes that we're between a rock and a hard place and Bush just made a brilliant political move.
Oh and by the way im not a RINO, I'm a proud republican, who realizes that we may need to sacrifice part of our Agenda inorder to save the country. I would love just as much as anyone to see all illegals turned away, even shot with rubber bullets as the come across, but that simply isnt reasonable, feasible or poltically responsible.

Your choice:

Get every detail you want of the Immigration reform, or sacrifice one peice of it so we can keep the house and senate from Nancy Pelosi.

Unless the illegal immigration problem is stopped effectively and the numbers of illegals in the country are reduced, the United States will have a liberal electoral majority. If the President's proposal to permit the 12 (or 20) million illegals to stay and eventually become citizens goes into effect, these newly enfranchised citizens will vote Democratic, as that party has been more generous with welfare since the days of FDR. Just as the Mexican illegals who became citizens under Reagan's amnesty program tipped California permanently over to the liberal Democrats in the 1990s, this wave of illegals, upon becoming citizens, will do the same in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and possibly Texas and Oklahoma, in the 2010s.

Thus, we will get Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, etc., or their cohorts, into Congress irrespective of what conservatives or Republicans do. The President's proposals will not effectively forestall a political shift that will return the GOP to minority status and exile political conservatism, traditional moral values, and free market economics into oblivion.

It's the last half of your sentence that shows your true RINO colors. You won't stand on the principles you annunciate in the first half of your sentence (the turning away part).
