I make both sides mad when it comes to immigration and illegal immigration because while we need to stop illegal immigration, "shootin' em as they cross the border" isn't the way I would think would be most effective and reflective of our National morality.

That being said, I disagree with Hatch if he wants to give a blanket amnesty. I think he is wrong. But being wrong on an issue is not enough for me to label someone as an enemy. Too many on this site view even a variance of one vote enough to forever label them a traitor to this or that cause.

For example, being friends with a Liberal for many here is enough to disqualify you for any position. I think that is wrong as well. Doesn't make me wish they would get banned though.

That's one heck of a description of the "sides"...!! Yikes..!!

I don't know of anyone who truly advocates "shootin'em as they cross".

Do you really think that's how the "sides" shape up?

Fair enough. And I agree to your point. But in totality, Mr. Orrin Hatch has "turned over" enough for my taste. I don't think him a "traitor" though. But if I lived in Utah....I'd work to see him defeated. He comes across too often...as all bark, no bite.

I've co-worker's, & family that are liberal. Some are Marxist's even....I'm friendly with them....but I'm not "friends" with them. We don't pal around together...

I don't think that should disqualify them or me...from any "positions". But I darn well bet you...that my being a Conservative & a Christian....will ABSOLUTELY..get me disqualified from "positions" in "their" world.

FWIW-
