Karl Rove wants all them illegals.

His figures show they will all vote Republican. (His figures also showed that the Republicans would control the House and Senate,)


If you don't agree with him, you must hate brown people (his words).

LOL! The CSM sayoing that those so called democrats elected because they supposedly ran on a tough anti-illegal immigration platform are goign to vote that way. LOL!

They are going to voite the pelosi line, and you can bank on that, just as one can bank on "true conservatives" to cut their nose to spite their face an handover the House to pelosi, by sitting out the election.

What can the Pubbies against Shamesty do? Sit out the State of the Union?

I've been hearing a lot on the MSM about how immigration is a no win issue for repubs but I think thats one of the main things that sunk the republicans. Remember, even though the house was for strong enforcement, to the average Joe and Jane who only pay attention to politics around election time, the president's attitude towards any issue is the party's attitude. In this case Bush's pro-amnisty, pro-guest worker , half hearted attempts at enforcement cemented the idea that the entire GOP is soft on the issue. I'm always surprised by people I talk to on the issue, who see their wage scale declining, who are fed up to the gills with "Pressing #1 for English" glad the republicans got dumped because they were "pro illegal". GWB really flubbed this issue and in the process lost control of congress.

Remember a large number of people have no clue what Teddy, Jon and Nancy really stand for, but unless you're living under a rock everyone knows the president's (and by extension the president's party) stand on an issue.

I have a feelong that congressmen and senators who vote for amnesty might not win their next election, and damn well they shouldn't.
