more fun to just complain
"more fun to just complain"
why do you think this is fun? I do not think that every political discussion has to end with an 'answer,' particularly if that answer is based in fantasy so farfetched that it requires suspension of disbelief to consider. History and life are both full of examples where there were no practical (read - actually politically doable) options available in situations which became subsequently worse, and we are in the middle of one right now.
It is critical to understand that the immigration problem is going to change the face of the US in the current generation, and that discussion of this topic on message boards is perfectly reasonable and normal, and some of those discussing it aren't under the impression that they can somehow find a realistically implementable answer to the issue.
Or to put it another way, what is your solution to the current impasse, and how do you realistically see it being implemented?
I have become convinced that what is driving the Bush immigration policy for Mexico, or the lack thereof, is the fear that if, or perhaps more likely, when Mexico implodes, the rush for the border will truly become a huge tidal wave of illegal immigration, dwarfing today's huge tidal wave!
So, reasons our leader, we had better keep that "Safety Valve" open for as long as possible to prevent what's happening in Mexico right now, from REALLY happening. And, we had better keep those Wal-Mart Money Orders flowing, too.
In re Santorum, good luck to him. fine man. But if it's a close one, he had better pray for an election at least as straight as Mexico's. Which, of course is unlikely in any state run by Fast Eddie.

I agree byby. Buchanan is a joke for appearing on the Dimwitted " McGlaughlin Group" where the Host has been predicting GOP Gloom since 1996
Right freedom because there is no pressure out of power. If the GOP loses the House, they will not get it back for 20 years. Then the Conservatives can play Barry Goldwater electoral politics once again and be irrelevant.
Staytrue, I predict Terrorism and Gas Prices will be the focus of Election day 2006.
Maybe the RICH are getting 7% wage increases, but the MIDDLE CLASS has had negative real wage growth since 2003.
No, they will make it WORSE in the short run, which will anger the populace so much that things will get BETTER in the long run.
However, maybe the new Congress,in Republican control and with a lot of input from voters, might do a better job.
Not a snowball's chance in Hell. You know the old saying, "The definition of insanity is doing the same old thing and expecting different results." As long as the internationalist Republicrats are elected back into office, they'll keep working to replace America's middle class with a Third World substitute better suited to their corporate goals.
So,your plan to stop the illegals is to have the Republicans lose, and you are hoping that things will get so bad that the voters will smarten up, realize their error, and make Tom Tancredo King.
Mind if we try a different way first.
Wrong. That increase in income was across ALL income groups. These were WAGES, not investment income. Additionally, during the same period hourly wage growth was up significantly. Stop buying into the DNC/Buchananite propaganda which reads off the same script these days.
Lol...that's a long way from me!
If the GOP loses the House, they will not get it back for 20 years. Then the Conservatives can play Barry Goldwater electoral politics once again and be irrelevant.
You're right. The House has been the only place that conservatives have gotten any respect after election day. If the GOP loses control anywhere it's because they haven't been in tune with the party faithful. Over all, libs in the GOP have done less harm when the Dems were in control. The solution though is to hold control and replace Rinos when possible. Very little positive can be accomplished as a minority.
Read the Wall Street Journal. They report on this information all the time. http://www.epinet.org/content.cfm/webfeatures_econindicators_jobspict_20060707
