"I flat don't get how this speech helps the democrats."
Millions of BorderBots exited stage right tonight.
If they don't change their mind, that dooms the GOP to loss in November.
And this time this is no Kerry to motivate conservative voters.
I will vote for the Republican newbie who is challenging Chet Edwards (D-TX) because he is very strong on border enforcement. All candidates, Democrats or Republicans or Independents, who vow to overturn the dirty deal the President and the Senate are about to foist on the country should get conservative support. Anyone who supports the President's plan should be defeated. It's really simple.
How do you figure that? I've been big time for real border security and deporting illegals and no more light weight tactics with them. This speach is all the things conservatives have been wanting. What basis do you have to support your assertion that millions of registered conservatives will not vote because of a speach that outlined most all of the things that those same conservatives have wanted to hear Bush say on the border. The idea of that is just crazy. If anything, those conservatives who want real border security, like me, "border bots" as you want to call them, are saying what I did tonight, "It's about frikken time!". THAT is what the millions of conservatives who want border security are saying. The only people who hated this speach and don't like what he said in it are liberals who aren't voting Republican anyway.
