The silver lining in a 'few' GOP losses in '06 will be Speaker Pelosi. And its not enough silver to kill a vampire like her. If we are going to lose anybody, lets lose them because they lost to a better candidate or a better campaign and not just because we were pissed off and wanted to send a message by sending another democrat to Washington. A democrat here and a democrat there and we lose the tax cuts and the war in Iraq.
A Bush here and a Bush there and before two more decades are up, you'd better know your Spanish!
Tax cuts are great, but if the populace is 50% Mexican, who cares? How do you think "formerly illegals" are going to be voting? For tax cuts and those that support them? Highly unlikely!
The shortsightedness on this single issue is absolutely stunning. Someone asked me whether I enjoyed history in another unrelated thread. Some people here really, really, really need to brush up on history here and see what happens to nations that are care free in the defense of their pasts! Even the founding fathers knew that to keep this nation afloat the way that they had intended, a Christian morality would need to be the guide. The more illegal foreigners we allow in, the more this nation slides to the left (and it's on a grand pace now) morally, the less and less viability we have. It is that simple.
I hear all this about a GOP controlled this and that. Then WTH is our nation continuing to slide to the left politically, educationally, societally? Gay marriage is on the doorstep of many states and legal in some. Our public educational institutions are indoctrination centers for immorality. Our supposedly conservative politicians, particularly senators, are geldings more concerned with "getting along" with their liberal counterparts than they are about ramming through conservative legislation!
When that all changes, then wake me up and someone restate the counterargument.
