It sounds more like hypocrite conservative voters staying home in November as they try to justify dishonoring the soldiers who died to give them that right to vote.

"The anti-immigration nitwits are going to get us all killed."

You got that bassackwards, TB.

Actually, I suspect if illegals were legitimized, they would get earned income tax credit, rather than paying taxes.

[new yorker 77]

Did I say who to vote for?

I am responding to people who claim they are going to stay home or that the "base" will stay home.

Since when is the conservative base littered with UN-AMERICAN losers who pledge to stay home?

I am tired of hearing this prophetic analysis of the conservative base.

If the conservative base does not tun out to vote, then they were never conservative enough to be part of the base.

No real conservative stays home.

I agree, and I've begun to imagine what it will be like to have a Dim House and/or Senate. It would be hell for the White House which would be up to the ceiling in subpoenas. The public would see Speaker Pelosi and Chairman Leahy regularly make fools of themselves, and I would hope that after 2 years of this theater, the Republicans would return to power in both chambers and elect a conservative President (who among other things would secure our borders.)

>>Did he touch on repealing the anchor baby laws? How about ending all illegal alien welfare benefits? ...Iow, did he touch on the incentives for many third-worlders to come here in the first place?

He left out any mention of punishment for employers.

Libertarians don't believe in borders and national sovereignty.

That is not true, at least for me it isn't.

We shall see, I suppose.

"Or, they are following the old political rule, "When your opponant in hanging himself, stay quiet."

Ding, Ding, Ding, We have a winner! Why say a thing when Bush is single handedly "Jimmy Cartering" the Republican Party.

[Mr. Mojo]

How about Medscape and WebMD (via Free Republic)?

they would get earned income tax credit, rather than paying taxes.

They can get it now using a fake SS number and claiming the Advance EITC. Once the IRS catches on, just go to another job.

There is no better time than now to organize and fund a 3rd political party that will tap the base of common American Citizens as a priority and relegate the Pro-NAFTA, amnesty for illegal, citizens of the world mentality to the back.

The current two party system is a failure over and over again. yet we keep re-electing the same guaranteed failures with the same guaranteed promises to do better "next year" when re-elected.

Everyone is so scared that a 3rd party will take from the base of republicans. Well it seems that if there is only a 30% favorable rating for republicans, and a 30% favorable rating for democrats, the 50% of eligible voters who do not vote should stand for something. It is obvious they don't vote because of the guaranteed status quo.

Give the 3rd party a lot of thought. We must overcome Name Brand political recognition of those we elect and get some new ideas into the fold with people who are not afraid of offending race A or corporation B.
Smooth talking politicians fool some of the people some of the time. but they can't fool all the people all the time.

WAKE UP!! see tagline

Infectious diseases?

I'm sure 19th Century Italy, Ireland, and Germany were germ- and disease-free. Of course, our medical knowledge and care were so much better back then.

You're right: we're doomed!

[Soul Seeker]

Ah, yes, first you said we were UnAmerican for not voting Republican.

That argument didn't work.

Now they blame the blood of our soldiers on our head.

Maybe when you wake up and face reality you'll understand as soon as the massive influx of poor and uneducated masses from Socialist/Communist countries are legalized they will consign the conservative movement to death and Republican Party to minority status. Meaning it is the pro-open borders crowd that endangers their mission.

Contrary to claims the administration's investigation and arrests of employers hiring illegals is down from the Clinton administration, this table tells a different story. Credit RedBloodedAmerican for finding this:

By 2004, the annual inflow of foreign-born persons was down 24% from its all-time high in 2000, according to the Pew Hispanic Center analysis of multiple datasets collected by the Census Bureau and other government agencies.

Note that I don't think anyone is claiming that nothing should be done, but the hysterics claiming that nothing is being done couldn't be more wrong.

That sound you here is the Republican majority in the House and Senate vanishing.

I can see the GOP retaining control of the House since that's the chamber that's serious about immigration control and enforcement. I'm just thankful Bush got the opportunity to appoint two conservative justices to SCOTUS before the 06 elections.
