Heh.. Doesn't sound like it from your earlier postings. You chastised anybody that suggested same and for not getting down and licking GW's "oh so Conservative" boots.
I challenge you to find a post where I have ever "chastised" anyone for saying we need to get control of our borders. You can't because I haven't.
I have said several times in these debates that I don't support mass deportations of illegals who are already working and contributing members of society...but that I DO support any efforts to control our borders better.
Perhaps you should try addressing my actual posts instead of assigning me positions you feel most comfortable ranting against.
And by the way, your insulting comments about anybody defend Bush as "licking his boots" etc. sounds like something from DU.
I don't know who you think you're going to impress on FR by sounding like a rabid Bush hater.

I'd say calling people "shortsited and foolish" for being upset with Bush over his pandering to the illgals would qualify. To whit:
I can only thank God that the other side has it's share of people just as short-sighted and foolish as to abandon their party over a single pet peeve issue.
Perhaps you disagree and you will suggest that you were responding to people prepared to "abandon their party." I don't think so. We all have the right to vent, and the venting is over a legitemate issue that you yourself have conceded is a problem.
I myself never intimated that I personally would abandon my party. My focus was on the mistake Bush is making. Your focus was on convincing all that they should continue to put up with it, because Bush has an "impressive list of Conservative accomplishments." That is what started our exchange. I replied that this wasn't a small issue, as you imply. It is a very big one. Thus, we have every right to bitch and moan over something we feel is important.
If we don't speak up, we will continue to get trampled on. Further, if we don't speak up, there is not prayer that Bush and his advisors will realize that they are ticking people off. They will blow the election and we will be stuck with all our worst fears. If you care, you will rebuke your guy for heading in the wrong the direction.
