I also don’t know about DeMint, but wouldn’t it be so sweet to have sellout Lindsey Graham put to shame by someone (DeMint) more popular from within his own State?
They just don’t get it, do they? Bush could have saved his legacy by just paying attention to the rank-and-file.
Here are three very basic principles:
1-United States sovereignty
2-American citizen's Constitutional rights come ahead of the "rights" of illegal aliens
3-The obligation of the executive branch to enforce the laws of the land
Unlike Jorge, some of the Senators care about the best interest of the American people. We'll have to see just how many that is. The ones who side with the criminals against the American people should be voted out.
“What his motive could possibly be is beyond me.”
A One World Government is not possible with a vibrant and strong United States of America. Destroy or cripple America’s economy, middle class and culture and then you can implement a world government scheme.
Dane? Probably still in southern Arizona, handing out maps and bottled water to our nation’s new immigrants.
Those who assimilate into American culture tend to prosper.
Those who create their own little ghettos and slum cities and separate entities end up in a microcosm of the country they left to come to America.
You are right—they want this so bad and are so intellectually dishonest that they think by repeating “it’s not amnesty” it will become so.
If it walks like a duck, yada yada......
Every dime I would have given to the RNC will be going to the Heritage Foundation. I won’t switch voter identification because of our closed primaries. But for a former supporter of Bush such as myself, this is the straw that has broken the proverbial camel’s back.
Keep up the good work, folks....hopefully the Senators that want to keep their jobs will see the light. Of course, enforcement measures won’t increase for the next year and a half, but hopefully we can get good conservatives in 2008 and fix this problem once and for all!
Nice post. Simply exquisite.
Go to Project Vote Smart and find the link to your Senator Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX) and find the "Contact" page
Then, send links to an FR thread like this one
or this one
BUSH CHIDES FELLOW REPUBS FOR OPPOSING HIS FLAKEY AMNESTY DEAL
Finish with this one
RNC Fires Phone Solicitors [former donors outraged over amnesty]
Tell them to take a look at the comments here about illegal immigration. They WILL get the message. .
Tony Snow is wasted tallent on this issue.
He is trying to sell a “four element” periodic table to a scientific world.
“lower the temperature” is just code for agree to amnesty.
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
Look at Greece which has had TWO, YES TWO amnesties within the last five years. BOTH have been disasters.
Immigration is always a failure.
Yet this time tony snow expects a different result.
Bush is a free-trading globalist who thinks that if you can get a worker in another country to do the work for a dime less than the American worker, it’s a good thing. He only hears from the people who have access to him, like the Chamber of Commerce, who tell him how wonderful cheap illegal labor is, and how it is driving the economy.
He doesn’t see the other side of it like we do, because he lives in a mansion on Pennsylvania Avenue. He doesn’t have to wait in line at the emergency room in the hospital with a broken arm, because 5 families without health insurance are getting treated for the flu. He doesn’t see cities turned into crime-ridden dumps. He doesn’t see the trash in the streets, as the poor illegals just dump it on the curb. His school taxes aren’t skyrocketing.
What he fails to appreciate, what the Chamber of Commerce doesn’t tell him, is that illegals are a net drain on society. Businesses are able to operate more profitably due to cheap labor. We benefit from that in some ways. Cheaper prices, higher stock prices. But there is no way that those benefits equal the negatives. I believe the Heritage Foundation calculated each illegal costs the taxpayer $20,000 per year. I would rather pay a dollar more services and commodities if they were done by legal Americans, rather than paying three dollars more in taxes to support the illegals.
That's why I said this should be an election year issue. Iraq is getting quieter. Al Queda's attacks have made every one mad at them over there. That's why a lot of people died. It always happens that way.
A country that kills off a million of its own people and then allows a million illegal aliens to swarm across its borders doesn't need "immigration reform" -- it needs a freaking full-blown psychiatric evaluation.

I'm going to send that to the White House. Thanks. When I called my two Dem senator offices, each of their staff didn't even sound like they were really taking down any of my message. One put me on hold three times. The other didn't ask for any info, just wanted to end the phone call.
OK, Tony. Here's a basic principle your Administration is outright lying about, which is why the temperature is so high...
Now, that wasn't difficult, was it?
Ditto. 18 months can’t pass quickly enough.
And how did Reagan view his choice from the 20/20 perspective of hindsight?
Sadly it doesn’t take a map to know we’ve practically lost Texas to them. Their sense of entitlement and ownership is frightening. Bush likes to portray himself as a Texan, but true Texans are mad as hell over this invasion.
