Maybe it's time for all true patriots to read Vince Flynn's first book entitled: "Term Limits". Better yet, perhaps we should send free copies to all congressional supporters of amnesty for illegal aliens and the rest of the garbage contained in the Senate immigration legislation.

I have tried to give the president the benefit of the doubt on this issue, but I must agree that the final version of this bill is terrible, and I'm disappointed.

I think the glee of Ted Kennedy and McLame praising the swimmer drove me over the line finally!!

[ it is the intense anger and hatred of the President exhibited by a minority on this forum claiming to be the 'base' but either being extreme rightists who never supported this President in the first place, or DU trolls. ]

TRUE some local RINOS are starting to act tough like Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder in Stir Crazy.. buts it an act.. They are Dubyas base but not the republican party base..

The republican party base is for LESS GIVERNMENT... not More.. Dubya is for MORE..

I'm pretty close to leaving this forum because the intelligent, rational, thoughtful conservative posters are getting fewer and farther between as it is taken over more and more by disrespectful pseudocons who wouldn't recognize a decent person if they stood face to face with them.

And I'm not alone. I'm one of the only ones left still in the battle because others have determined that its not worth it to get bloodied every day by foul-mouthed thugs with the maturity level of 13 year olds.

I'm not sure that even radicals like you should be happy with what's happening to this forum. Intelligent discourse and respectful disagreement is almost a thing of the past.

I know that doesn't address your post to me, but I wanted to get that out there.....

Heres the difference........Legal immigrants cannot be percieved as a class of victims. The victim/racist/oppressed mentality is being manufactured by a subvesive movement within our government who believes they can better represent victims rather than representing self starters.

Self starters have too much independence and place too much thought into voting for politicians who make a real difference.

I am with you. The 3rd party is a definitive option. The seats in congress are ripe for the picking.........
Next hurdle....campaign finance (incumbant protection act).
Have to get the money somehow, within the law.

Perhaps you should take the weekend off, visit some Memorial services being held, and have a chance to talk to real Americans face-to-face.

I think you'll find that opinions will be similar to those experienced by Sen Hutchinson (R-TX) who stated that she's rec'd 1,700 calls against the Senate bill vs 12 in favor.

When you finally realize that 70%+ of Americans are against amnesty, and that illegal immigration is now the #1 issue facing the country, then you might be ready to return.

Looking forward to your posts on Tuesday. I trust no one opposed to illegal immigration will hold a grudge for your former position.

This 'vote roll' is just calculated political bull$shit. If this 'elite' group of Senators ALL had their way, by virtue of being free from "up for re-election", they would have ALL voted for the bill, period. The "100" are disgusting examples of Americans and should ALL be turned out.

Thats pretty much what we're ALL doing.. We just have different ways of doing it.. FR is a website about preserveing or even regaining a Free Republic.. Those noticeing America turning nto a FREE DEMOCRACY get un-nerved.. You are no goody two shoes but then you are no rough and tumble personality either.. (as per our convo a few days ago).. some are..

Not only that but some are even as hard headed as I am requiring a 2 x 4 to the head to get through.. mere logical discourse/(cute)semantics won't work.. I like those types, because when you finally DO GET thru, its relatively permanent.. Those types don't change their views every Tuesday.. like some do..

Big difference between those that talk a good game and those that actually play it.. FR is blessed with many that actually play it.. FR is the BIG TIME.. ALL other websites are merely target practice.. You might make a note.. because its true..

I cannot believe our senator Bennett voted for this idiotic bill, but he did. I will let him know that he is toast if he ever runs again as far as my vote is concerned. I'm sure he will tremble in fear.

Those traitors to the Republic lead by Frist, Mc Cain, Specter, Bennett, Brownback, Domenici, DeWine, Graham, Gregg, Chafee, Craig, Lugar, Coleman, Hagel, Harkin, McConnel, Snow, Smith, Menendez, Murkowski, Stevens, Voinovich and Warner all have a big red mark against their names indicating sheer cowardice and stupidity for the next time they dare to run in a Primary against a real conservative.

It's called

AMNESTY

The Rats and Rinos who voted for this disastrous law may call it anything they want, but it's pure amnesty and they have sold out the nation's rule of law.

Vote for those that vote the way you wish or vote out those you dislike in primaries, but don't fail to vote. That gives the RATs (and we know how they voted) the edge.

I've got a solution!

Let's hire and train illegals to deport illegals. That way there wont be a language barrier.

What you seem to have missed is that I, too am strongly opposed to illegal immigration, so your post to me makes no sense.

I'm talking about civility, and I'm talking about respect for our Commander in Chief in time of war.

I'm talking about non-stop, nasty, profane, and ugly attacks on the President of this country, who has led us through some of the most difficult days in our history.

I'm talking about spiritual warfare taking place right on this forum.

It's not going to go away with a weekend off. I've been praying for an answer to what I should do, but this place is no longer a place I am proud to be associated with...........and a whole lot of people at all levels of opinion about immigration agree with me.

Perhaps some of you will be happy when anyone who has a shred of respect for the President leaves. Then there won't be anyone left to mock.

Then... GRAB ToTo Dorothea.. you are in for a wild ride, whether you WANT TO GO or NOT.. We have sown to the whirlwind and be advised we will reap it.. Oz is the next venue..

20 plus million brand new democrats (or more) will change the voting fabric of this nation.. Besides that in a hyperbolic situation describing it with anything LESS than hyperbole is merely disinformation or worse agitprop..

Faint, put your hands to your face, just suck your teeth or show a little outrage girl.. because whats happening is OUTRAGEOUS... You do know the Bushs idea of immigration "control" is the Senate Bill NOT the House Bill don't you.. and to be honest I believe he only prefers the Senate Bill because he HAS TO CHOOSE.. He would really prefer even LESS CONTROL.. as he has shown for what 6 years now.. Thats not an accusation its a FACT..

Stand on your hind legs and BARK, or Cower.. your choice..
Many Alpha dogs in this pack, but its true there is some Beta and Gamma dogs as well..
HOWL or cower.. you do know your place.. better than me..

Thanks for the reinforcement that I'm heading toward the right decision to leave FR, hosepipe.

I'm not the cowering type. I'll fight, but I won't fight here.

Critical mass has been reached for a whole lot of us. This is not a forum we wish to be associated with......not because of its owner, but because of its occupants.

None of us is afraid. We're just not masochists.
