Is it still the party of Reagan, or of Tom Tancredo? Reagan was then.
Tancredo is now.
Times have changed, as has the nature of immigration. If we are blind to those changes, we stand to be overwhelmed.
I will vote for Tancredo over _any_ other Republican name on a primary ballot.

I would definitely vote for Tancredo. I can't imagine what idiots would promote McCain, or any other of the tepid entries being revealed. I prefer his passion.
I would love to see he and George Allen on the ticket, and would not care which was on top! But, first we have to get past November 2006!

"A nation without borders is not a nation" We ceased being a real nation, when the SOTUS began attacking our constitution, and found a "penumbra' emanating from it...
We are reaping what has been sewn. IMO, the only solution is a constitutional convention, but God only knows what the results would be. There are too few patriots, and too many special interests!..

All the signs are in English. Not bad for a bunch of people who "refuse" to learn the language.

Ronald Reagan wanted line item veto.
If Reagan would have had line item veto, amnesty for 3rd world, Leftist, Liberal, illegal aliens would have been dead on arrival.
The Liberal Democrat congress that Reagan had to work with shoved amnesty down his throat.
As Bush is so fond of saying every time he opens his mouth, "Make no mistake about it." This time it's Bush shoving amnesty down ours.

"No he didn't. He signed the amnesty willingly." He signed it, because he had to work with a Liberal Democrat controlled congress to get anything done. Congress promised Reagan it would be the last amnesty.
Buchanan was part of Reagan's administration.
Reagan wouldn't have hired 'W' to empty the waste baskets.

Reagan wouldn't have hired 'W' to empty the waste baskets. He hired his daddy to be his VP, and Bush is a much better president than his father was.

W and Reagan were good friends, and he thought quite a bit of GW. They actually spent time together in the Whitehouse... can you imagine? Of course you can call me a liar like a certain mother on here, but Michael Reagan is my source on this.

re: post 196
For them to remake the U.S. in Mexico's image does not strike me as something they are likely to want to do.They most assuredly will (though they may not want to). They lack the Jeffersonian gene and 'their' country wallows in crap. Wealth abounds in the same sphere as massive peasantry. Government corruption and zero education are contributors to this mess.
In their country, the peasants are rightfully communist sympathizers, but in our country, they're the f**king enemy.
Now, that may depend upon how well our current leaders (elected elites) adhere to the orignal 'plan' as envisioned 200 years ago and to the extent it is implemented.
Should they stray further into the land of 'collectivism', then perhaps the masses of peasant undesirables would be welcome to bring about their master plan. Peasant meet Globalist.
If, however, they should come to their senses and realize America-(it's sovereignty) is worth preserving at all cost, then these Red, White, and Green flag bearers had better prepare to have flags shoved up their hynies.

Neither Bush Sr., Bill Clinton or Jimmy 'freakin' Carter drove our country into an additional
3 TRILLION DOLLARS worth of debt in only 6 years or failed us so badly on both our borders that there are
3 MILLION ILLEGAL CROSSINGS EVERY YEAR! Anybody that thinks that's good is nuts.

If Reagan would have had a Republican controlled congress, there wouldn't have been any amnesty.
Our borders would have been securred.
We wouldn't even be talking about surrendering to Mexico.

The War on Terror, which we did not choose to start, must mean nothing to you, since all you seem to care about is money.

Reagan was good friends with Gorbachev, too.
I doubt Reagan would have hired him either.

Security starts at home for me.
Bush drove our Nation $3 TRILLION DOLLARS more into debt and we don't even have our borders secured, because the $10 or $20 billion it would require is just too high a price for Bush to pay for our own security when he's squandering TRILLIONS on everybody Else's.

Yeah. I've heard all that before.
If it had been up to you green-eyeshade-types, Reagan would never have built up our defenses to win the Cold War.
