If you think we are nationally a distinct minority on this issue, it is you who needs to get a clue.

And who is this singular "person", America? If I may ask.

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I mean "America" the nation state, formally known as the United States of America. Not "America" the dominant element of the North American intra-national economic system. A subtle difference, to be sure, and many people fail to realize that their long term goals are not always parallel.

Actually, I am mad as hell with Bush about the boarders and the spending the GOP has done while in charge. However, when you read posts here it’s easy to see the DU’s are here fueling the fire against GW and many people are falling for it. Maybe the DU’s should be watching the dems as they load the pork into the spending bills........

I’m all for expressing our displeasure with our administration........ but I also remember Reagan’s 11 commandment!

At the risk of sounding disloyal, I’ll be glad when Bush leaves office.

It's like my father said a while back, G.W. Bush = LBJ II, sad to say that I agree with him there as time goes on. I know LBJ's immigration policies along with the help of Ted Kennedy and so on, caused a lot of this mess we've had for the last 40 years and President Bush wants to do the same thing.

I voted for him in 2004, and wore buttons and t-shirts daily. I was shocked by the visceral hatred of the left and supported Bush even more, even when increasingly he let me down. I now just wish he could try talking TO us and not AT us. I guess I am a Bush Democrat, and have gotten more and more conservative as the Republicans have gotten more and more liberal. It really is bizarro world. Now, I cringe when he discusses immigration. I am sick of Spanish everywhere, and criminals marching by the thousands demanding things I don’t even have (amnesty for crime). It would be better if he stopped talking about immigration. He just upsets the base more with his arrogant smears.

I'm the same way myself. We are even seeing some of it here in Pittsburgh, IIRC, you're from Pittsburgh too. Mom the other day had to make a call at work to a customer and she got Spanish on the answering machine. She didn't understand it at all but she did leave the message. Boy, she was livid! I know myself, I consider myself a social conservative, not a fiscal one, so actually I'm a split, I guess in other times I'd be a right wing populist to an FDR Democrat but I think no matter what, it seems like both parties really don't listen at all. The Republicans want the cheap labor and the Democrats want the dependent underclass for their votes.

President Bush on the war, I'd give him a B. There are things I would have done differently and with more force but overall, it has been handled OK although recently, we are starting to lose focus. Domestically, I'd give him a C and Immigration gets an F.

I feel I have no real place to go, certainly not the Democrats, they are too "McGovernized" with the socially liberal and anti-war moonbats and the Republicans are really not for me but for the rich (altohugh the Dems have their rich base too, we need to be fair) in general.

Peggy Noonan is right. The GOP establishment did not learn anything from the 2006 elections.

Incorrect

They learned they barely lost majorities in both houses of Congress. It is time to pick new leadership for the Republican Party, starting at the top. George Bush has failed to successfully lead the country and is now a lame duck.

Exactly right. There’s a big picture and most don’t have a clue. Nobody would advocate open borders in time of war unless he had integration with Mexico/points south/Canada in mind.

(As for China, don’t brush your teeth with toothpaste made in China....mostly sold in low cost stores and most have Japanese sounding names. It’s contaminated. As were the petfoods they tampered with and God only knows what else they ship over here.)

Heard over the radio that NH still doesn’t have to fasten seatbelts, although your gov. was signing gay union rights into law...Wasn’t there a movement to eliminate ‘Live Free or Die’ from license plates? Hope that went down in flames.

Last night I watched MSNBC -— Russert’s liberal/dem journalist panel discussing Republicans running for President. (They tiptoed through the Hillary Iowa mine field...nobody dared mention the four letter word that starts with L. Lose.) As for Mitt/McCain/Rudy etc., they clearly don’t think any has a chance. Mitt was described as a ‘robot’ candidate, too good to be real. McCain is self-destructing. (Hunter they didn’t mention.) Rudy’s marital mess evoked low voices...Andrea Mitchell was saddened about obvious bitterness at the family’s recent Princeton graduation.

Fred Thompson...well, he’s ‘no RR’, as the ‘conservative base will soon realize’. No hope there. Besides, he’s ‘lazy, has nothing substantive on his senate record’, and he also has that young wife and two small children, which they seemed to think would distract him from serious business. Just an actor. So that’s that according to Russert’s Liberal experts. (I can hardly wait to see them eat their words.)

Michelle Malkin on O’Reilly a few nights ago made a suggestion that Americans might believe GW was serious about enforcing the border if he deported the 600,000 plus illegals already incarcerated. O’Reilly had to admit that was a good point. (As always, Michelle was terrific.)

I am not against free trade. But we don't have free trade with anyone and we haven't in a very long time. The Republican Party through TR was always in favor of protecting American Jobs.

Leading up to WWI England did not protect their industrial base while Germany and the USA maintained it. The result was that England was weak and Germany was able to take advantage of them. We are fast approaching that situation with China.

And I say again we don't have free trade with China or anyone for that matter at the present time.

Why is it a good thing to enable Mexico to ethnic cleanse itself of its native Indian population, the bottom quarter of its citizery, those they can’t be bothered to educate and care for? Whole villages stand empty, and the flight north is increasing. This can’t be good for Mexico or anyone else. (You don’t have to be Einstein to know who benefits.) Mexicans/whoever who come for jobs, a better life...dream of living in a country resembling Mexico in every way but corruption/violence/illiteracy. Assimilation isn’t on their list. They want greater Mexico, the Spanish culture and language, and most want a socialist agenda. Some even demand reparations and taking over the southwest, including Colorado. When they get the vote, and they will, what’s to stop them from achieving the whole enchilada?

Where is the incentive for positive change in Mexico? They kick out those most like to head revolution, in fact handing them maps of the border, even telling them to head for Canada....”Canada, hey, you need cheap labor!” A few rich families will continue to buy up real estate and control whatever’s left in Mexico. What’s to stop the drug lords and the violence that’s spilling over the border? The beheadings of police and the rape and murder of hundreds of Mexican women. This is a culture disconnect about to land in our lap.

Plain speaking, honesty to the point of bluntness...that’s what the voters are looking for and desperately need. If Fred lays it all out in policy papers and/or speeches, what’s going on, what he thinks we should do, calls for input...even if the pill is bitter, if we’re convinced it’s right, we’ll take it. One big problem with this ‘amnesty’ bill is Ted Kennedy. If he’s in favor of anything, you automatically distrust it. Or should.

Fred Barnes on Fox’s Beltway Boys last night said GW had lambasted Kyl, repub. sen. from Arizona, who’d been against the last immigration nightmare bill, but when he’d seen ground zero in Arizona, had decided we had to do something — the border was out of control —so he’d worked on this bill and gotten more concessions from Ted Kennedy than he’d given up. Well, Fred’s in favor of the bill.
