"The Republicans and conservatives achieved more legislative victories this week than in the whole last two years."

Nothing like having your base walk away to get you motivated. I never thought this would go through the senate without having some type of program put in to deal with those that are already here.
Ahh, another moron who thinks if you aren't 100% conservative on all issues, you're a "bleeding heart lib". Hello, Sean Hannity.
Me too, I wonder if they did a "swap" for political reasons. Maybe Lieberman thought a nay vote would help him against Lement and Hill thought a yea vote would help her if she runs in 08.
"This is a political gimmick," said Sen. Ken Salazar, a Democrat from Colorado.......Yeah, Right..The Dem's have not done one thing to help control the southern borders of the U.S.
Damn forum rules!
Isn't that what you meant to say?
"First they told us to back Harriet Meyers, because the only way to win is through compromise. Then they told us to back Bush on amnesty, because the only way to win is through compromise."
No more Compromises
Ever
"We already did that. We call the Mexican land "Texas"."
Actually Tejas took her own land and established herself as a nation to herself.
She opted eventually to join us.
So you are one of those steal my land to promote your agenda types as well...
But most of the fence will be in the states created from the Mexican Cession. And that was what I was talking about. Although Texas claimed the Rio Grande as the border, the Republic of Texas didn't have much controll in the region between the Rio Grande and the Nueces rivers. Of course neither did the Mexican govenment.
I've followed your writings, I knew what you were saying. My heart goes out to you, because I know what's coming almost as well as you do.
Hang in there.
Where are the rules for this posted?
When you talk about someone in your daily life do you call them and get them in on a three way conversation all the time?
Ring the bell. I have a sneaking suspicion this is being done for show (just in time for the fall elections).
I'll stick my neck out and make a prediction: if Republicans hold Congress, there is a better than 50% chance that no activity on securing the border will occur, and 50% that there will be Katy-bar-the-door activity to not only do nothing to secure the border, but open the floodgates further.
I also noticed that some of the usual suspects who were berating the anti-illegal folks are on this thread with conveniently short memories.
You know the rules. When speaking of another poster, make sure you ping that poster.
In the neighborhood I grew up in, there was a house all the kids would avoid because it almost literally had the 'crazy lady shouting from the attic window'. Definitely had that spooky feel every Halloween.
Fair enough. In the context I was using it, it should have probably been "Texian" as those Anglos of the Republic of Texas Texians. I am not really part of that group though, as my family was late coming to Texas.
I would class myself currently as a Texican, though, not by blood, but just by relations in the current central Texas culture. "Texan" I think is a weaker still term, that can be adopted rather than lived. (A clifornian or a yankee that's been here for 10 years or more might be allowed to be called a Texan, even though they bitch about the heat or smoking bars.
In my definition:
"Texians" are all dead.
"Texicans" live in the stix and would be just as happy and healthy if all the big cities in Texas imploded and we went back to Waterloo as the capitol.
"Texans" can be determined by having some kind of Texas airport knickknack in their possession.
It was reported to have happened yesterday evening near Larado. Maybe it was a hoax. I can't find the thread now. Everything in AZ ok? Anyone injured?
This is what he said: "We will construct high-tech fences in urban corridors, and build new patrol roads and barriers in rural areas."
He sure was adamant about it wasn't he?
I think he's goind to lose sleep if he has to sign this bill because of the fence. It's got to be killing him to know that the border will actually be treated as a border.
