[Reagan Man]

>>>>For all the talk about Karl Rove's brilliance, it was a blunder of monumental proportions to force a confrontation on illegal immigration now—a relative few months before the midterm elections—in a way that enrages both the conservative base and a liberal constituency against Republicans. The president has endangered scores of Republicans, some of whom are excellent public servants. And depending on how this turns out legislatively, he may have done lasting damage to the Republican party.

Mark Levin speaking truth.

The president has endangered scores of Republicans, some of whom are excellent public servants.

I don't get this. If they are excellent public servants, does that not mean their constituents will be satisfied with them? GWB's position on immigration, which is the same position he's held since before being elected president, has no bearing at all on whether or not I like my congressman (I do.)

I never understood all the hype about Karl Rove. All he did was help Bush beat Gore and Kerry, two very weak candidates.

I wonder if there would still be such a clamor in support of the amnesty fiasco if the economy was really as bad as the Rats claim, and AMERICAN CITIZENS were actually unable to find jobs?

Mark Levin speaking truth.

Mark Levin is wrong about this just as he was wrong on the ports issue. That is why he has lost me as a listener.

Rove and Bush did not force a confrontation on immigration...you can thank Savage, Levin, Gallagher, and a ton of other conservative talking heads for this confrontation.

As for the other Republicans, it is the responsibility of each representative to make his own views known, and represent his constituents. Many Republicans in the house arrived on GWB's coattails to start with. Remember 2000,2002, and 2004?

It is certainly premature to be screaming about the damage to Republicans until we at have a final bill.

Gee for all the screaming about being the "Base" the "Real Conservatives" managed to move President Bush's number from 45% to 35%. Seems they are NOT a signinficat force in American politics at all. Seems a pretty glaring statement of political irrelevance when all you can brag about is 10% of the population. Good luck with your 10% of the vote 3rd Party. Way to chop off your own political nose to spite your own face. Gee simply amazing how the Perpetually Pissed would rather have 100% of nothing then 60% of something. After 70 years being on the Political Fridges, it seems the "Real Conservatives" lack either the intellectual or emotional discipline to be a Majority party.

Have fun being completely political irrelevant. For all yourself laudatory supposed adulation for Ronald Reagan, funny how not of you screamer know anything at ALL about the Real Reagan. Regan understood how to use incremental ism, all you people know how to do is cry because you don't only get 100% of what you want right NOW.

Curious "Reagan man" how come all you perpetual bitchers never ever, even for a heart beat, bother to think about Reagan's 11th Commandment?

You people are no Reagan men. He knew how to win, you all just know how to bitch about EVERYTHING.

"...he may have done lasting damage to the Republican party."

PULEEEEZE!!!

I remember after Goldwater lost in a landslide in l964; everyone said the GOP would never recover. It was said that l964 was the demise of the Republican Party.

C'mon Mark; we may suffer some setbacks but it will not be "lasting". Nothing lasts forever.
