I agree with you, snugs. Sometimes we focus too much on one issue, and are not thankful for all W has done.

Although immigration is a HUGE single issue. W has always said he was against amnesty. Seeing the definition as posted elsewhere on FR, he still is - although the 'punishment' he has in mind is NOT NEARLY TOUGH ENOUGH. I want to see current laws enforced FIRST.

Meanwhile, we still waste time on Gonzalez.

Don’t miss Newt on MTP.

He is thrashing the dem congress...haven’t got one thing done but want the Iraqis to accomplish everything...won’t stand with the President of Colombia because they don’t like the “tone” of things he has had to do.

Points out that if we leave Iraq, they will have to do some ugly things and then we’ll cut off funding to them because we don’t like those things.

Well said. Agreed on all points.

And incidentally, it's getting more and more difficult to watch the Sunday shows for more than five minutes.

Thank you for saying that! I thought I was beginning to doubt what I’ve read many times. Maybe some parts of the bill are objectionable, and many people have good reason to dislike them. But some parts might have merit. I just wish that someone could go through it, bit by bit, and say what is bad or good about it. That way people might debate it without all of this poisonous vitriol.

You’ve got all these people all over this board (and yes, even all over Lucianne.com as well)screaming about it. They shout down everybody that might support some parts of it, they also scream about how the President is a traitor, and a tyrant, and a evil man who sold out his base, well you get the gist of it. It is enough to turn a person’s stomach.

I’m getting so I can’t stand to look at many parts of this website and other websites anymore because these people have taken over them. Maybe when a lot of the fire cools on this issue a little, and people can look at the bill more thoroughly and sanely, they can debate the bad and the good in it. Hopefully, they can find something to like and keep, and get rid of what they don’t like.

Because of the realities of what happened last Fall, there has to be a little bit more give and take that usual. They have to learn to work together somehow. I hate it that the Democrats have the upper hand now. But in order to keep the country going, we have to find a way to work with them.

Maybe there are still some Democrats who will work with Republicans(and the President)left, and will support Republicans on other crucial issues as well. We can’t afford to drive off the friendlier ones!(Dems)
