FENCE & ENFORCEMENT FIRST
If a lie gets repeated multiple times, it becomes CW.

Yes, and in the category of double standards, BJClinton is remembered for 2 sentences from his entire 8 years in office. Yet, somehow, no one holds him to the same standard as GWB.
Why? Because the DBM played a clip-about-nothing in Clinton’s voice in every newscast for 8 years.
This thread made my morning. I have to get ready for Church now, but will check back later.

Boos, hisses greet defense of immigration reform bill (Saxby Chambliss booed)

I am getting to the point that they should not be allowed 'IN' the line, if they come here illegally.
Bravo! Post of the day, AB.
You could add North Korea to that sentiment, as well.
At least we have started to take a proactive step toward the country of Mexico, which is mostly inside our borders now. Too bad it's the wrong step.
Did you know that Tony Blair had “scheduling conflict” when President Clinton invited him to meet in NY, that he had to leave for Iraq. (Don’t ask for a link, I don’t have any.)
In Britain the majority of the people would be in favour of the death penalty no party is ever going to have that as part of their manifesto.
Most Britain's want tougher immigration laws no party will ever be tough enough.
It is not only their own citizens that they listen to they worry and pander to world opinion even more you may well have a case of this here.
Many may fear if they tougher for example deport a few million then world opinion will turn against further against America which most of them believe is already not favourable because of Iraq whether that is true or not is probably academic.
I'm not having nightmares over this but I do believe this will be a major issue in the 2008 election and beyond.
2. The GOP House Leadership they fired last Nov for not being dogmatically pure enough had this Immigration thing DEAD.
It was not dead, only sleeping.
3. If this thing passes, 90% of the votes in Congress for this stupid bill will be DEMOCRAT votes.
There is a reason the polls show Americans are heavily opposed to the amnesty efforts. I'm not suggesting we go out and in mass deport all illegal aliens. I do, however, believe we have to support enforcement of our laws. As Thompson pointed out, this does not have to be either/or. There are other alternatives that can become long-term solutions to this problem. .
I tried calling and get “mailbox is full” messages - I hope that’s true and all because our fellow FReepers have been demanding they kill this INSANE shamnesty.
Thanks anita, I DO like the article.
Our candidate in CO for US Senate adds we have to reverse the perception of the public that Republicans are just as spending and more government crazy as Democrats are. We, as a party, need to reclaim the reputation of lower taxes and less government. Too many Republicans forgot the lessons of why we won in 1994.
For people like Buckley, Buchanan, Hagel et al, their egos are way more important then what is good for the USA. To admit Bush was right would require them to set aside decades of hate for the Bush family as well as some of their tightly cherished political dogmas. Like most people, they would rather blame the one showing them their errors then admit the errors exist.
It one of the more sorry aspects of US politics is how often things are done because of the egos of the players rather then the best interests of the country.
Thanks Bahbah, this gives me the opportunity to repost my favoriet Krondrake quote.
Morton Kondracke, Roll Call magazine, 1994:
“Liberals obviously didn’t intend for the abandonment of traditional values to lead to an aids epidemic, rampant teen-age pregnancy, the destruction of two-parent families, an explosion of child abuse and child poverty, increasing coarseness in popular culture and horrific street violence. But it has.”
What would be the reason to kill an ID card?
I mean a legitimate reason.
I've been a Republican supporter and voter for 30 years. I come from a family of Republican activists (Dad was Chairman of the party in a large eastern city). I was stacking and distributing literature for Nixon/Agnew 1968.
With this immigration bill, the Republican Party has absolutely and finally betrayed America, betrayed conservatives, and utterly betrayed the our traditions and laws.
I will not - no matter the Bushbot and diehard insults - suffer the indignity of one more Republican betrayal. They have crossed the line.
If Republicans pass this amnesty and free ticket for 50 million uneducated and impoverished lower-class day laborers to come and enjoy the fruits of my forebears and relatives, at my cost and from my wallet, then they have lost my vote forever. I will change my voter reg. to Independent, and hope that we can develop a party which actually respects our country, our laws, our heritage, and our sovereignty.
