Thank you for your invitation...just voted "NO!", as did 89% of the participants to this point have done. Evidently, 89% of the voters in this poll do NOT approve of what the House did last night. Go figure.

Well I'm mad and I'm angry, and maybe that's why I can't think of an appropriate response. While all of us were prasing him for how he was dealing with the war on terror, Bush passes this Amnesty Bill, something that not even the sneaky Bill Clinton would do. This is one of the worse Bills to pass through Congress, it will hurt us in many ways, and ten years from now we will still be feeling it's effects.
Bush has, without a doubt in my mind, sold us out for the Hispanic vote. He sold us out because he can take our vote for granted (who will we vote for Al Gore?). Is he wrong? What do we do when the Republicans stop looking out for our interests? Is it time for a new party, or do we work within the party and try to root out the Republicans In Name Only (of which there are many)?
The GOP doesn't care about it's citizens, real Americans. The GOP has issued a mandate demanding that criminals with little or no capabilities receive citizenship before those that attempt the legal processes do. The GOP wants illegal criminals to mix freely upon the streets of America with Americans.
You like that, don't you? You don't care about our freedoms as these new citizen-criminals are now capable of voting and throwing America into an ever deepening hole .... one that I pray consumes you, CJ.
Did you see him on FNC, ez? You wrote exactly what Armey said. The INS is incompetant...I hope heads roll. Now it's making sense.
CR, hope this helps.
I really do wish someone in the Administration had explained the bill before it was up for the vote.
Willie, you'd vote for Buchanan if he was Ralph Nader's running mate.
The GOP has done no such thing, nor is it favor of illegals "mixing freely" on the streets of America.
However, I've heard, Buck, that the GOP IS in favor of subsidized blenders for "mixing" the liquid of the gods.
Bottoms up!
Regarding Ron Paul: I think as a Libertarian, he would believe in 100% open borders. So, I guess the 1%ers will have to split their vote. Making them each .5%ers, huh?
Obviously you have never learned to read (the Constitution for example), which contains both libertarian and conservative principles. For example, the Bill of Rights is entirely a libertarian principled addendum, it has zero roots in conservative thought. On the other hand, the very concept of a Constitution is conservative (versus a system of ad hoc laws developed at the spur of the moment). Moreover, I have stated here and elsewhere that after great consideration I consider myself a "Constitutional republican" (versus either a facist conservative or libertine libertarian, as the somewhat justified epithets go). Consequently, I find your diatribe ill considered and moronic for it's lack of intuition.
Instead of showing you a libertarian society (though Milton Friedman might argue Hong Kong pre 1996), I will show you a strictly conservative nation - the Taliban of Afghanistan pre Sept. 11. They conserved their religion as they saw it, they were certainly strict in doling out punishment to wrong doers, they placed no impediment on their government doing the right thing (no matter how heinous an act it might be). That's a conservative government to envy, if you want to take credit for it.
Because of the problems inherent in both undirected libertarian and conservative principles, our founders crafted a strict Constitutional document that balanced the competing needs for freedom with order. That's why this website is called FreeRepublic.com and not ConservativeRepublic.com or Democratunderground.com or whatever.
So go stuff that conservative crap down your throat, it is a flawed construct that no longer suits thinking people on this forum, and that is my point. FreeRepublic works (combines libertarian and conservative), Constitutional republican works (same balance), but conservative and libertarian both suck eggs.
I can't believe that Republicans whether conservative or moderate are so quick to give up. We stand for principles, but we can't hold on. I must read 245I, I don't believe the hype that there is a blanket amnesty for all illegals.

THOSE WHO TAKE ECSTASY EXPERIENCE many agonizing side effects, including:
- Depression
- Loss of appetite
- Dilated pupils
- Loss of concentration
- Headaches, pain in the back and legs
- Tension and trembling of the eyes
- Lack of initiative and motivation
- Exhaustion
- Grinding of teeth
- Anxiety and confusion
- Dry mouth
You're probably right. Much better to have Algore in there.
Nope. Nobody has been made a citizen and non-citizens cannot vote legally. Which means they can't vote any more legally now than they could before.
Think about all your new friends that will get to vote along side with you .... reading their Democratic cheat notes to punch out chads .... they don't even know how to read or write!
Do terrorist organizations use false documents? Yes.
Will the INS check out applications, sponsers, and documents to see if they are for real? No.
