"LoL! Are you royalty or something, with your use of the royal "we".

Laugh till your teeth fall out.

"We" as in those among us able to still discern illegal from legal and patronizing from loyalty.

Choosing to ignore the migrant invasion by neglecting to seal the border with Mexico in a bid to gain the Mexican vote is not the higher moral ground, it is the abandonment of American sovereignty.

Well it seems that think Bush is worse than Kerry or Dean, IMO. Your rhetoric is succor to them.


I agree they are worse, but if GWB abandons his base like his father did. That base may abandon him like they did his father.

Joseph Farah may be the one prognosticator who is right on the money here.

Yeah Joe hit the nail on the head with Y2K. You know all those things about chaos and turmoil and all that jazz.

You guys aren't the base. The latest poll has 93% of Republicans supporting him.

Farah thinks Bush lost because IA upset the conventional wisdom of the Beltway -- that Dean would win the Democrat nod early and go on to a decisive loss to Bush. Now all bets are off, at least for a month, that's what Farah is saying, from my vantage point. If Edwards becomes the nominee, he could sweep the South and border states, much as the popular GA Jimmy did in 1976. Edwards might even be competitive in TX by November, time will tell. We can't be sure how people will respond to "new faces" put up as a Democrat candidate.

Yeah he really is choosing to ignore it. That is your opinion and your opinion is not a royal decree.

Bush has decided to address it and you don't like it, where people have to register.

It seems that you either want the status quo or mass deportation, which will not happen. Even Tancredo is for a guest worker program.

What is your solution?

There are a large number of people, in the party and independents that are not happy with the amnesty and with the explosive growth of government spending. It is not just a few malcontents.

And secondly, I live in TX, if GWB is so far down in the polls he is worried about losing TX then ha has lose in so many other state hae might as well pack. So, I can vote my conscience and try to send a message to them that shifting to the left is the way out the door.

I betting a more likely senario is Kerry/Edwards ticket.... Bush is solid in the South.. voulreable in FL but a democrat in the S. it considered a pansy. Nobody wants to feel like a fufu pansy in the S. except the, all be it many, 300 pound-southern-cat people- shutins.

Go, say goodbye, help the demos, but please stop the drama queen tactics. Sheesh I can get enough of that from watching a soap opera.

Y2K -- I never read any columns on that topic because I never took Y2K mania seriously. So I did not know that Farah fell for the Y2K hype. Still, how is that relevant to his analysis of the Hawkeye Cauci?

Many states do not allow write-in votes, and even if there are blank spaces on the ballot where one by force a "write in," such names are not tabulated. In TX, one must file as an official "write-in" candidate to be tabulated.

Huh?? Bush ain't going to lose Texas. You really need to get out more, IMO.

I keep saying that I hope President Bush pulls a rabbit out of his hat. The illegal immigration stance put many of hi supporters over the edge. I have predicted all along that he will be back peddling on this issue to get Conservatives back.

IMO, he has already started. In that case, it won't be too late for my vote, but it may well be for others. But I Am watching this closley.

Karl Rove made a huge mistake, and President Bush allowed it.

President Bush is a good man and has done some great things for us.. but there are issues here. Appeasing illegals ,and teenagers, and leftists is not the direction I want this country headed. It is one policy too many for me at this point.

It has to be done to a certain degree, but right now I feel steamrolled.

I am praying that the Honorable President Bush will listen to the people and not the strategists, and get that rabbit ready, SOON.

The BashBush gang are all here. Here is an idea, go join the Democrats, I am sure they will give you everything you want.

President Bush has not even began (officially) campaigning and he is "toast" according to you all.

When the American People go to the polls next November, it will not be the economy that will determine who they vote for, but who will defend them. The Democrats or the Republicans.

Have fun BashBushBots, the final laugh will be on you and your friends in the Democrat Party.
