That sounds like a perfect description of the Bush adminstration to me.
Take Mike Savage, an absolute Political Imbecilic no matter what he squeal at you every day.
I'm tired of hearing Savage invoked by the apologists for illegal immigration. You use him to distract from actual arguments made by mainstream conservatives on this issue. Personally I almost never listen to him. I far prefer Laura Inghram myself.
I agree there will probably be no bill at all, at least until next year (when the politicians will feel safer screwing the public without worrying about consequences). But while no bill is better than a bad bill, it's not good enough. Twenty years of deliberate encouragement of illegal immigration have brought the situation to a crisis point. It's now an equal threat to the future of America as Islamo-fascism. Insisting that our elected official act to save the country from a mortal peril is not "childish and irrational".
"Guess that means that the Border(s) are NOW secure?"
Yes, rest easy. MMJohnnie says the border is now secure with the help of 3000
unarmed National Guard.(SAC)
"Some things are not up for compromise. Integrity, WOT, The life of my children, American sovereignty, That which has been passed down for our protection to pass down to our posterity and been protected with the blood of our/my ancestors and patriots."
Good post!
I think you covered it all!
Wow. Calling those you disagree with a whole batch of names.
You sure are a skilled rhetorician.

God Bless America! :)
Watching the other drivers in traffic is a loser for the president. He needs to keep his focus on his destination and just point his car towards it.
Both are equally invalid for similar reasons.
A car he ignores can still collide with him. Not reacting is no protection whatsoever.
The national political discourse is driven by the interests of the people, not the dictates of the president. The president still will suffer consequences for his positions, even if he tries to sit in his office and hope the whole thing goes away.
I'm not surprised that W is tone-deaf to this issue, but I'm very surprised that Rove is. First Harriet Meiers, then the Dubai ports deal, now amnesty. They ought to sense a trend at some point. You simply cannot ignore 85% of elected Republicans in the House and Senate, virtually all the conservative pundits and journalists, and all of conservative talk radio and appeal to your enemies in the Democrat party for help. It is just stupid and stubborn and doesn't speak well for their understanding that politics is "the art of the possible."
The coolaid should have been purple.
Thanks. We here are just too cool for the kool-aid drinker.
Welcome to Free Republic.
"God Bless America!"
And so HE did... one more reason for us to preserve it!
Thanks for the welcome.
I honestly share your frustration.
There's the Texas go-get-'em GWB that I love from 9/11, and then there's the befuddled, Northeastern RINO Bush who's a spitting image of his Pops and won't seal the borders for some odd reason. It's very puzzling.
On Brit Hume tonight they included comments from Boehnert and Hastert.
Boehnert said that the immigration bill is dead.
Hastert says he's not going to work on something that divides republicans going into the election.
Political neophytes, both of them.
Well Jesus said it best, and GW used it himself. You are eithe with me or against me. I believe that He is a 100%er.
