Look, you are effectively calling me a liar ...

No I'm not.

Since you have called me a liar, I'm going to call you a babboon ...

Seriously, go to bed and sleep it off.

I'm disgusted by the number of pantywaist Bush-supporters suddenly deciding that an amnesty for illegal immigrants isn't all that bad. These are people loyal to party above all else.

You don't seem to grasp the concept of debate do you? One side takes the pro side and the other takes the anti side. See how that works? Do you just want an eco chamber? The FR poll shows how people actually feel about the proposal and there are a hell of a lot of strong Bush supporters in that 67% that voted no including me. However, that poll in no way reflects some massive FR "dump Bush" movement. It just reflected a rare instance of a clear majority of FR disagreeing with a Bush initiative. The "dump Bush" contingent had the forum right where they wanted it but, as usual, overplayed their hand and their real agenda stuck out like an inflamed hemorrhoid. They never learn.

And we have gained about 20 since the last round of redistricting and picked up seats in the 2002 elections. What is your point? This is not a zero sum game. Red states have also gained about 10 electoral votes as a result of the last census.

Obviously you don't understand spanish, I already told you goodbye. I wouldn't respond, except that this demonstrates that you have no ability to understand what is going on. I suggest using one of the translation programs to start learning about reconquest issues.

Chupame Cabron!

That means, Have a Good Evening, And it was fun talking with you!

"It has been over 2 years since 911. In that period of time we've removed the Talaban from Afganastan, we've removed Saddam from Iraq and we've removed about 1/2 of A.Q. from around the entire globe including such god forsaken places as S.A. and Pakistan.

And all you can answer is they haven't attacked because they don't follow patterns.

The pattern is pretty clear. 2 1/2 years of no attacks means that they can't attack. "

I agree. Not even a grenade on a bus. After our great victories and decimation of AQ, it is time for the govt to publicly acknowledge this and tone down the fear factor.

The govt acts like the threat is worse than ever, and it is not true. We have crushed them.

re: "and I am deeply sadened." Is that you Tommy?

[Texasforever]

Any public official who would support such illegal activity has no respect for our Constitution and no faith in the future of the United States.

Man the new and undisputed “drama queen of the universe” title has now been awarded. For crying out loud, did the problem of illegal aliens surface just 36 months ago?

Re: Bush owes that base nothing. You are so right about that:)

[Mortimer Snavely]

"You would give up all of your rights in order to get all the illegal aiens out of United States? Correct?"

+++++++++++++++++

In case you haven't noticed, this country is under attack.

The Constitution allows for the suspension of habeus corpus during times of war or insurrection.

We are in such times. If you can't perceive it, you have a problem with enemy identification.

Look, a lot of illegals come here not to work, but to work the system, and in the process screw it up for decent folks who bring their wealth and their education here to become Americans, and no, these well-moneyed, well-educated folks are not lily-white.

Get a grip. Your cure is worse than the disease.

And here is the indispensible tool that a President Tancredo would need to eliminate every illegal alien from the US forever:

I was gathering signatures the other day for California's Save Our State initiative (which is a State constitutional Amendment denying welfare, drivers licenses, and other benefits to illegal aliens). A woman signing the petition told me that her and her husband had just sent George Bush a campaign contribution before his policy announcement on illegal immigration, and now they wish they could take it back.

I suggested she write the President a letter expressing her feelings, but she said she was afraid to be put on some "list". There were many other conservatives who expressed dissappointment, or anger at Bush while they signed the petition. This could depress voter enthusiasm/turnout for Republicans.

but she said she was afraid to be put on some "list".

Parinoia runs deep. What is with that? a "list"?

[RJayneJ]

Thanks for the nomination! };^D)

[tame]

Parinoia runs deep. What is with that? a "list"?

True or not, it still conveys the feelings of a regretful donor. I pray Bush reconsiders his immigration policy.

[Texasforever]

I pray Bush reconsiders his immigration policy.

I hope you meant that rhetorically because I don't believe the Lord cares one way or the other when it comes to borders.

Hi, Travis! Check out post #894.

The GOP has not owed that "base" anything since 1992 since they voted Perot or stayed at home in 1996. Sorry that "base" has no one but itself to blame. The GOP has moved on and it has benefited from that move.

I call bull on your identification of the Wall Street backstabbing cabal with the GOP. The people, the voters, are the party; the Yacht Club minority is not.
