Sad, but that's what happens when the GOP Big Tent decides it can do without conservatives. Now it may have to.

Numerous threads have been filled with people telling me they don't need mine or any other Conservative's vote. We'll see how that holds up over the next few elections - they seem to forget how close the last two Presidential elections were.

I have said what you just said about a thousand times here. The West and the Southwest have just about had it. The South is on our heels. This immigration thing will be the doom of the GOP if they don't get a grip. A year ago in here you had people openly saying that these people had a right to take a stroll across our border. Now people are talking about shooting them home. As I am. There is indeed a fetching up in the process. Trouble is all Mr. Bush has to do is say "guest worker" and our border patrol people are overwhelmed. Guess they still remember Reagans amnesty. I love Reagan for most of his actions and hate him for one. AMNESTY.

We do need your vote. Illegal immigration is a problem. That is not the issue.

But if the only way to get your vote is an impossibility, then we are kind of screwed, aren't we?

The plans proposed so far by people in your camp will not happen—ever. There are too many laws, INCLUDING the Constitution itself, prohibiting it from happening. I'm sorry, but it is the truth. We can lessen the problem, but we can not solve it by building a wall, ripping people from their homes and away from their children and tossing them all out in a matter of months.

Your vote is important. It is hard to loose. This rift makes me unbelievably sad. But I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to change the Constitution. Even for your vote.
