I am against illegal immigration, for legal immigration, and to the right of both Bush and McCain on the matter. But no, the country is not at stake in the matter, and will be fine regardless. We should control illegal immigration for the sake of general law abidingness, fairness to those who obey the rules, and to give policy the ability to regulate the pace of immigration to what assimilation processes can handle, to shape its composition, etc. All important things, but no, the existence and even the success of the country are not at stake in them. We are bigger and stronger than that, have done fine regardless, and would continue to do so. Not a reason not to fix it, but it is a reason not to be hysterical about it.

The sky won't fall if we build another power plant, either. Hysterical scaremongering hyperbole is no more attractive when pretend conservatives engage in it, than when the left does.

YOU are a liberal, Bob. There is no reason for me to vote for mcCain. If you want to, do it. As for me and many others, they are tired of holding their noses to vote for the GOP. No more browbeating, flag waving, war mongering, fear tactics are going to work with me.

One of the reasons I liked Reagan so much was that he was not a war monger. He only put troops where they were really needed. He then used his brain.

Sorry Bob, if you like McCain, vote for him. I won’t.

Which is the best argument you've made so far for you to stop typing. Now.
