Another thing, I think is increasing the radar on Lindsey Graham types who pretend to be conservatives in the House and become bleating center-leftists in the Senate. What signs did he give then of being what he is now? We have to learn how to spot these guys better.

That would be a useful study.

I know in our state that Congressman Mark Kennedy (no relation to the Massachussets bunch) has been sliding steadily leftward since we elected him 3 terms ago, and is now running for Senate. Adopted most all of Norm Coleman's sell-out positions to try and be a "tweedle-dum-and teedle-dee" political tandem.

I think I said that, in effect, anyways.

Well let's have a third party called the conservative party. The sole platform of the party is to conserve the constitution. Ever since McCain and Goober Graham brokered the deal with Dems to forstall the judicial nomination filibuster, we have become captive to InSane McCain's presidential aspirations. We should have forced the issue and let the Dems pull a real filibuster. It would have lasted a couple of days and everyone in America would have been introduced to the emptiness of Dem leadership. Screw compromise. Screw moderate Republicans.

Most Hispanics who voted for Bush were American citizens and according to polls, most Hispanic American citizens who came here legally don't support illegal invaders either.

Bush isn't pandering to Hispanic Americans - he's pandering to his pal Vicente and to slave labor corporate exploiters of illegal invaders.

Rush is making some good points right now about how moderates are using immigration as cover to boot conservatives out of the party.

Dang! Same thing I've been posting about. The Rockefeller wing intending to kill off conservatives, pro-lifers, etc. I recall in '96 how clear Dole made it that he hated the conservative base and thought they were an albatross around the GOP's neck. And that contempt for the base voters is being played out again in the shamnesty.

Notice how they try to make it appear that only Guiliani, McLame or Romney have a chance of getting the nomination or beating Hillary. In fact, they're the only ones that have a chance to lose to Romney. Look at how Bush (Geo. and Laura) are pulling out the stops to save Chafee's seat (12% ACU) and raising money and will use the party's power and funds to help this very liberal Democrat who pretends to be Republican. This is just like defeating Toomey in favor of slimy Specter. Look at how Bush/Rove hung out the House Republicans to dry by luring them into putting the felony provisions in the immigration bill and then backing away and pretending the House was a bunch of fanatics merely for doing what they were asked to do by the White House.

When are rank-and-file Republicans going to wake up?

The liberal Northeast GOP wants to eliminate the conservatives. Just like they hated Reagan too. And they'll give the Dims another 30 million illegal votes to do it, accepting minority status and defeat in '08 just to get rid of us once and for all. The goal is to give the voters their choice of two very liberal, nearly identical parties, just like Canada has.

Go, Rush!

I believe many republicans would vote for her if there was an(R) after her name instead of a (D).

It seems there are a lot of "yellow dog republicans" in the party.

I don't think this has much to do with the Hispanic vote except in specific geographic areas. I believe this is a fight between check book elite republicans and the conservative.

They are more interested in cheap labor, apparantly at any cost to the country, than they are the support of their voters.

This Amnesty and Cheap Labor Bill is the worst piece of legislation in decades.

"Over the last few weeks, the conservative blogosphere and punditocracy have been aiming a wave of venom at the GOP in Washington that’s so wide and deep that you could practically surf on it. The grumbling over out-of-control spending, the Gang-of-14 compromise, Harriet Miers, the Dubai Port deal, and most of all, illegal immigration, has become ceaseless and increasingly bitter."

That is because those we send to Washington to do our bidding are ignoring us entirely. Fire them, Fire them all.

In case you haven't noticed Bush is the head of the GOP. How easy would it have been for the Senate to shoot the amnesty bill down in flames if the President had stood by We The People that put him in office and said "no amnesty?"

Oh, wait, he did... it's "earned citizenship" now... it's not amnesty for cripes sake. The Republicans wouldn't ever... oh wait they're the only ones that ever have.

“That doesn’t mean that we conservatives should engage in a bunch of fake “rah-rah” or refuse to criticize Republicans if they deserve it, but it does mean that when November rolls around, conservatives should show up at the ballot box and pull the lever for the GOP.”

They are not the GOP, they are Washington Elites who will never, ever change. Fire the buggers.

“We also must keep in mind that Republican philosophy up on the Hill has changed for the worse as well. Today, if the Democrats want to spend $100 million—instead of saying, “no way,” the Republicans are more philosophically inclined to say, “How about $50 million instead?”

Another reason to fire them all

>>>The right actually believes that if they scream "WE ARE A MAJORITY!" loud enough, someones going to believe them.

>>>The RINOs actually believe that if they scream "CONSERVATIVES HAVE NOWHERE TO GO!" loud enough, the conservatives won't leave the tent.

[ Action, not words, will convince conservatives that the president is serious about border security." ]

Starting to look like Bush speech was a diversion with amnesty denyablity so that Congress can pass THE legislation to ensure the AMNESTY HE WANTS.. TO further confuse republicans and divide them so the democrat party can be invigorated with the New Democrats that Amnesty WILL and would provide..

Could be that republicans(generally) are quite stupid.. Most have no idea that George Bush is the democrat partys single most secret and powerful ASSET.. Hard fact to face.. That would mean MOST republicans are Stuck On Stupid.. and cannot see that there is little difference between John McLaim and George Bush.. One is covert and the other is overt but they have basically the same agenda.. The Liberalization of the republican party..

I'll be darn if it is not working brilliantly..
BRILLIANTLY.. Even on FR many after wiping some of the emotion off some George Bushs actions/acts, still refuse to smell it.. It is quite nasty..
