The President will most likely be re-elected, and he will most likely get my vote, but I hope he reconsiders the direction he intends to lead this country. If not, it will take decades to undo the damage he has done.
It will never be undone. What is happening will be the undoing of this nation. In the short term a Democrat would be worse but we will soon be finished none the less.
I got that a lot today. Now I know it's not my computer or my ISP. Thanks for posting that.
Oh wow now I get this strategery! The PUBs make a huge leap to the left and then start crawling back to the right. Ayup, that oughta do it.
This may be a novel approach....but go with me here...how about....we abide by the Constitution! EDUCATION IS A STATE ISSUE! Let every state handle education as it sees fit!
Suppose for an instant, that I work really, really, really hard making a product that I sell to you for next to nothing. In order to "compete" with me, you have to work really, really, really really hard to make the same product and sell it for even closer to nothing...or you could just live the good life by buying my product.
Subsidies and "dumping" by other countries is simply increasing our standard of living at their expense. I'll take it!!! I definitely have NO intention of "competing" against them in busting my a$$ to increase someone else's standard of living!
Even with the GOP running Congress, Clinton managed to do a lot of harm. Don't let the Dems control any part of government. It will only make you more unhappy.
The problem I have is that if it is four more years under a Dim, the GOP will put up a Hurculean effort to fight the liberal agenda of the Dim, for W, they just roll over and accept it.
Thank you for stating what obviously is misunderstood by many in this forum.
For those educated enough to read and comprehend the witten word, perhaps a look at the Republican Platform 2000 would clear away some of the ever present fog that permeates this area of ideas.
I know what you meant. I just turned the phrase around to voting for the evil of two lessers.
What I mean, is I support Bush in almost every area. But his immigration stance is so offensive to me I would vote for another candidate in the next election if I could find one I trusted with the national security. I don't see anyone I trust.
I would like to sit out the election, but Bush will get my vote because the democrats (socialists) are anti American, and worse overall for this country.
They, like Bush will neglect our immigration laws and will weaken our National security and put more liberal judges on the Supreme court. Once again for me unfortunately, it is voting against the socialist alternative. - Tom
Twenty years ago a high school drop out could get a job in construction, trucking, or manufacturing, and still do pretty well for himself. Well enough to own a car and afford some type of housing, by the age of twenty.
One by one these jobs have been outsourced, or filled by a wage suppressing immigrant, lowering the expectation and living standard of many Americans. Such is not suppose to be the case. In raising the boat of third world nations we have sunk the boats of many average Americans. Meanwhile those that stick it out through college are finding their jobs outsourced and their options limited.
You are merely parroting the propaganda of the enemy like a good little public school student. There are not that many white collar jobs and in fact all jobs have been artificially manipulated out of the country, or by immigrants in country all due to deadly socialist government policies and freedom robbing Free Trade.

If some Arky Bubba drives off the road and knocks down some of your fence, and the Texie Bubba you hire to fix it comes along and does just as much, if not more damage, you fire his @$$.
Time to hire Tancredo.
"The National Population Council reported that 9.9 million Mexicans call America home and that more than 7.82 million of those - or 79 percent - do not have U.S. citizenship. It did not break down how many had legal residence papers."
"According to a RoperASW poll from last year, 83 percent of Americans support mandatory detention and forfeiture of property for illegal immigrants, followed by deportation."
I'm one of the 83%.
If the President Bush or Tom Ridge would announce that in six months they will be paying a $50 per head bounty for each illegal alien on American soil there would be a mad rush for the borders.
A policeman in a car costs the average city about $200 an hour. Helicopters cost at least $2000 an hour with the ground crews. What is the full cost of a teacher per hour? $140.00 or there about.
If we could get illegal aliens to turn each other in, just the ones trying to slip through the net, (I know thousands would attempt it) we would save billions in law enforcement, welfare programs, unemployment, medical care, job training and schools the first year.
Do all this under Executive Order and tell the Courts to back off. This is national security!
Any employer who has employed an illegal alien more than five months from the announcement date will be fined $5000 per employee. One month later enforcement begins. This will give employers 5 months to shed the illegals and hire legally papered actual American citizens.
Then on the announced date, start in a state such as Oklahoma. Well centered, not overly populated and clean the state out. This would give Homeland, INS and Border Patrol time to install their co-agents in various court houses around the country to verify a persons paperwork, i.e.. birth certificates, hospital records, etc.
Go state to state from the epicenter sweeping out the criminals who have successfully avoided suspicion. They already had 5 months to get out, hanging around to test the system carries a SEVERE penalty. They won't be able to say they weren't warned.
Divide a state into quadrants depending on population per square mile., First arrest those whose names were turn in for the bounty. Then others suspected by local law agencies. When arrests slow down, open an adjoining quadrant.
Get caught after the selected dated and the result would be every foreign national who is not in America legally would forfeit all their belongings (houses, cars, bank accounts, etc.) and be deported within 24 hours. These forfeited belongings would then be given to local churches for distribution to the needy in that community. Another cost saver!
This enforcement would apply to illegals from every country in the world, not just Mexico.
Imagine the number of Chinese who would be taking the ship home with everything in the house, new cars, you name it would be on those ships. The thousands of Canadians who decided the USA was better than Canada would be again headed North.
How many schools could be closed? How many hospitals and state paid housing tracts? How many welfare offices? How many planned jail enlargements could be stopped for lack of need?
How many state and federal employees would find out that they have the time to actually give good service to their American customers?
Oh yes, it would be an economic shocker in the amount of taxes that could be reduced or used to actually improve something needed for American citizens, instead of illegal foreigners.
Want an approximate number of the population drop? Try 50 million+ with the majority over 30 years of age, having been illegal residents of America for over ten years.
I've always wondered how many folks are on Medicare that don't deserve it. I'll bet that would save a big chuink of money that could be used for American war veterans and citizens health problems.
Just imagine the frantic squealing from our politicians thinking of the lost votes and contributions. That would be a sideshow worth watching!
