Bush is kicking away his base

I do agree with that; just like "advice and consent."

Yes, immigration enforcement and border security is Bush's biggest failure.

It may be his biggest failures, but look at his successes - sometimes even important issues need to take a back seat to even more critical issues. With Iran getting ever more strident and recalcitrant towards world pressure, look for your issues to remain on the back burner even longer, and rightly so. Let's face it, the problem has been around through a few presidents, and none had as much on their plate as Bush. The fact that the real bad guys haven't managed to hit us because of the borders is an indication that there is more going on than meets the eye as to what is being done to protect us - it just hasn't been leaked . . . yet.

lol

[marajade]

okay. thanks for the stats update. My only argument is that illegal alien=horrific criminal doesn't compare.

Yes, Alito's confirmation is a victory for Conservatives, perhaps, we shall see, but the President should continue to address other serious issues: border, immigration, spending, energy, etc.

Some people call it complaining, I call it constructive criticism and not wanting to rest on our laurels.

[Howlin]

I know you hate to research issues you feel you are correct on.

What a silly thing to say. I've know and debated marajade for almost seven years. Not once has mar refused to back up a claim.

The greater danger is the Canadian border wherefrom the only real thwarted threat came.

Fruitpickers are not a danger in terrorist terms.

I am convinced that many of those who are so hysterical about the Mexicans are plants attempting to destroy the GOP. What is a problem is so exaggerated by such blowhards that even those with some concern about it don't want anything to do with them. And most never voted for Bush in the first place but are disgruntled Brigadeers or other third forth fifth party loons.

[Howlin]

Because they wouldn't be entitled to U.S. citizenship if they were born on the other side of the border, even if the mother rolled them across.

Roberts and Alito on the Supreme Court is hardly kicking away his base.

[Howlin]

I blame Trent Lott for that one. :-)

[marajade]

I would say we mostly agree. But it wouldn't be much of an interesting forum if all agreed on everything.

Just thinking that you really did not need to be negative about the good lady, Phyllis Schlafly. She's a great conservative LADY.

But............ the following was indeed beautiful.

*****

"No, Mimi, the other one -- the yellow one." ................. He was talking (about) the presidential flag! Three years old! He had seen the flag in the Oval Office and remember it. The boy's a genius. :-)

****

That was so wonderful. You should be so very proud.

Kindness from here.

Enjoy the speech tonight. The new excellent Judge Alito will be there for this country.

[Ditter]

Bite me Phyllis! I am part of his base and I am pretty happy with him. I would like better border control but other than that I am lovin' GWB.

[marajade]

Right. But I'm for it and it would never to overrode by vote. I think though it maybe time for it to be tested.

[Howlin]

STOP POSTING TO ME!

[Czar]

"Phyllis Schlafley is a very smart lady."

And spot on correct.

[beyond the sea]

Thanks, beyond.

You're welcome. We are all a little wound up these days.

I cannot wait for the speech tonight!

[Howlin]

Well, if we can get a handle on who's coming in, that really won't be necessary, will it?

[moehoward]

The bill that's on the table is Sensenbrenner's. Bush has no guest worker plan. He wants "Guest Worker wording" included in the immigration reforms.

[beyond the sea]

bold.......... you are such a trip
