So why is Pat giving advice to the Republicans. If I remember correctly, he left the Republican some time ago. This is like Clinton tell the Republicans what they have to do to win.

Why don't you go do something useful, like help your friends pick our food and build our shelters?

As you bash and denegrate such people doing such good things from your useless DC cubicle.

Does your resume include a header that is Red, White and Green in color?

Is your header red with a white circle in the middle with a black swastika within the white circle.

Where is it you live?? Even here in California they've dropped from a high of $3.29 to $2.99 now in about 5 weeks. Do you live in Hawaii? Nationally gas prices are said to be down an avg. of 15 cents a gallon.

After the Republicans "get creamed", I suppose that the Rats will solve the illegal immigration problem. However, maybe the new Congress,in Republican control and with a lot of input from voters, might do a better job.

I agree. It's the "hate Pat syndrome" even when he is right on an issue.

The GOP is always more conservative when it is the minority party.

[ Well any messenger(pat buchanan) who states that diesel fumes do not kill in a confined space should be disregarded, ]

Must not be a boater Dane.. Gasoline is explosive in a confined space, diesel is NOT.. many gasoline boats BLOW UP each year (because of that).. Diesel boats DO NOT..

You don't think maybe he(Pat)was referring to that do you?... A gas can is a vitual time bomb.. a container of diesel is stable..

I think Pat is more obsessed with the GOP than Dick Morris is with Hillary. Talk about unsolicited advice.....

You don't need to acknowledge PB to know that a large part of the conservative base, and the party's, is quite emotional about this. I am a professional salesman, and I can tell you that people hate a)surprises and b) being told what to think. The Bush/Rove/Chamber/Pence school tries to win the argument by demonizing the opposition and telling people what they need to think in order to not be knuckle-dragging mouth breathing neanderthals. It'll never work.

"After the Republicans "get creamed", I suppose that the Rats will solve the illegal immigration problem."

I doubt it. As far as I can tell the desire for broad amnesty is bipartisan.

I see no reason to think the GOP is going to change its approach on this. For them to ignore public sentiment this strong means they are very motivated. Follow the money (both parties, for that matter).

You use that quote like there is some sort of parity between a wall built to keep people out, and one that is built to keep people in.

Hint prisons are different than gated communities.

They haven't dropped where I live. I paid $3.36 this morning.

I drove from Fairmont, WV to Charleston, SC over the holiday weekend and found regular gas at $2.399 in South Carolina and Diesel at $2.699 in Virginia.

"So, your solution is......................."

Why would you think there has to be one? Solutions look great on paper, but in the real world I see very little happening that would constitute a solution or even a resolution of this issue. Some type of amnesty is almost inevitable, and presumably a modified limited form of border control will be attached, though whether it gets funded is anyone's guess.

Unforunately, sometimes all the practical options suck. This is one of those cases.
