Well, don't faint, but your last posts to citizen and to me convinced me that you are sincerely interested in dealing with the immigration crisis, rather than just blindly supporting Bush.

Although I still disagree with your position, particularly your assessment of how aggressive we can be about enforcing the current law (Holland, the most liberal nation on earth, just announced it was deporting 26,000 illegal aliens, the equivalent of 520,000 deportations of illegals from our nation), as long as you are approaching this issue from the standpoint of what's best for the country rather than simply what's best for one party or one candidate, as you guys on the other side like to say about Bush's proposal, "at least it's a start." :)

I'm calling it a night. See you in the immigration thread trenches, guy.

Well, I did not faint, but was pleasantly surprised.

No, I don't agree with all that Bush does and says.

I cannot support the government funding of religious enterprises, I detest the fact that he has not used his veto pen and a few other aggravations.

I did see the wisdom of signing the campaign finance bill and letting the courts dicker with it. (that one put me a odds with a bunch, just like this one)

I consider myself a patriot and a republican, but not necessarily a conservative in all things. The term seems to elude me, but I want what is best and Bush know more about this problem then most.

The devil is in the details and I trust that Congress will do everything that they can to screw this up.

I will be watching and participating in this one, more than any other because of it's obvious importance to all and the complications of another failure.

See you, or read you later.
