Guys I think the key point Hewitt is making is here : I have been a skeptic of the power of the issue based on last fall's special election in which Congressman John Campbell easily bested Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist depsite national focus on and support for Gilchrist by the anti-illegal immigration movement. Once the promise of border security was delivered via the fence legislation, the issue lost a great deal of its pull because border security is primarily what the center-right wanted.

I think the underlying import is that the Country Clubber Republicans, the same ones who call the Minutemen vigilantes and sniff at the idea of standing up to the racist bullies of the Left have helped them undercut the effort - this was a political play to mullify any effect the issue of illegal immigrants might have had on the elections.

Im beginning to think the states part of the southern half of the US need to declare war on the limp-wristed influence of the Northeastern Pubbies.

We are certainly heading for a civil war, on many levels.

Maybe we should just split the country to avoid it or, better yet, return to the original idea of "50" different and separate states.
