The administration rolled out its top immigration officials and several senior Republican senators yesterday to endorse publicly a guest-worker program offered by President Bush that could give legal status to the 8 million to 12 million illegal aliens now in the United States.

I ask if you can possibly be any stupider because we've engaged in this discussion for about 100 posts. An american is one that comes from the continent of america. North America contains at least 3 counties, Canada, the United States OF America and Mexico. So regardless of what your canucklehead or you say, he's an american. Unless of course, he comes from Quebec, and insists they are not only their own country, but their own continent.

The primary definition of American from Dictionary.com is just the way others and I have used it.

A·mer·i·can adj. 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture.

You’ve attempted to confuse the issue by resorting to a secondary or tertiary definition, and calling your opponents ignorant and “stupid” along the way.

Mexicans are NOT Americans.

Mex·i·can n. A native or inhabitant of Mexico.
adj. Of or relating to Mexico or its people, language, or culture.

Despite your best efforts to obfuscate the truth, there is quite a semantic and actual distinction between an American and a Mexican.

You have shown yourself to be quite artful at employing Leftist tactics. Are you sure you’re on the right site? You may be a Republican, but you’re no Conservative.

"Yeah. Screw the Senate. We've got the House."

We haven't had the Senate since Reagan was president, and then it was iffy. Although we "technically" have the majority in the Senate, first Trent Lott and now Bill Frist, with able assistance from wusses like Orrin Hatch, have surrendered control of the Senate to the Rats. God, I wish Barry Goldwater was still around.

"You actually see a positive? I'd like to know what that is. Leftist mexicans on welfare aren't going to vote for Bush. They aren't."

Isn't that the truth!

Not many seem to be listening. Too many Bush lemmings.

That, and we seem to be having a well timed bimbo eruption. In more ways thatn one, I might add. IF, IF the real game plan is to "draft hitlery" (gag) then we are seeing it unfold right on time.

It's not really profane when you consider most of the anti-immigrants are Bush haters and appear to be more happy seeing him defeated than victorious in November. They're not one bit conservatives.

Cute dodge, but unrelated to my comment.

So anybody who doesn't support amnesty for illegals and cheap illegal labor subsidized by the welfare hammock is a "Bush hater" ?

Most of the anti-illegals are very much "conservatives", if by that you mean those who believe in the rule of law, smaller government, less taxation, strong defense, etc.

Of course, seeing as you insist on using the word "immigrant" when you mean "illegal alien", maybe "conservative" means something else to you as well.

I have seen your other posts advocating eliminating the welfare state and opening the borders, but in practicality the former must come first.

Eventually he'll just tucker out. It takes too much effort to defend a lie.

Truth is as deep, as vast and and as powerful as the ocean, it wins in the end.

And so will President Bush, despite your best efforts to see him defeated.

I don't want Bush defeated. I want him to do the job we elected him to do, not sell us out to a Leftist agenda.

Die hard Pubbies are so focused on four more years, that they are blind to what Bush has done against us during the three years he's been in power. Blind loyalty to a party can get a country in a heap of trouble. Ask any German of the WWII generation.

If Çlyñtøñ had pulled this BS, you'd be screaming bloody murder. But, Bush did it, so that makes it OK. Well, I say it's even worse than if Çlyñtøñ had done it because it bespeaks of treachery not only against America, but also against the very people who trusted him to do the right thing when we put him in the White House.
