I still consider myself an Arizonian. I was born there, and lived there for 25 years, so I know all about immigration and its problems.

But the Lott problem has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with Lott being a moron, who compounded his error several times over. Now he is trying to blackmail the party: "If I can't keep my little position, I'll resign altogether." Yeah, there's a person of principle.

Oh, and those "couple of judges" make all the difference in the WORLD in how you enforce immigration law. It was a court, not the voters, which undid Prop. 209.

Actually Lott does have a bit to do with the immigration issue. He's one of the few republican politicians who have actually endorsed putting troops on the border. Granted, he had to be pinned down to say it, but he said it nonetheless. Look at the way President Bush snubbed Tom Tancredo for refusing to lock-step with the reconquista. Could be that's another reason President Bush is so keen to join with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the dems in running Lott out of town on a rail.

The party has certainly come a long way from Ronald Reagan's Thou shalt not speak ill of another republican. I don't particularly agree with much of Lott's positions, but he's a damn site better than the leftist RINO's who vote more with the socialists than conservatives. But I guess we'll keep them as long as they're acceptable to our enemies.

You want to talk about principles? What principles are being displayed by the President to do this to a leading Republican Senator over a few stupid remarks? What principles are being shown by the refusal to close our borders or even reinforce the border patrol when our country is supposedly at war with "the axis of evil"? I am beginning to see a pattern of behavior developing in President Bush that involves betraying his supporters and members of his party to curry favor with leftist groups.

Hell, I wouldn't blame Lott one bit if he quits the senate after all the "support" he's gotten from his fellow republicans. Do you think he should be grateful for being stabbed in the back and thrown out by his own party just because those moral paragons in the racial exploitation brigade say so? He's probably feeling the same level of gratitude towards the Republican Party I do when I think of the border situation.

I kind of doubt the immigration problem is going to be solved by President Bush making judicial appointments, when all his previous actions have been to keep illegal immigration going strong and our borders wide open just to suck up to the Hispanic groups and the Mexican government. The same way he's sucking up to the NAACP and the dems with the Lott situation.
