STARWISE,
I said, what can the Republicans do worse than the Democrats on this issue. It's my line-in-the-sand issue, and I realize that it isn't for everyone. If I lived in a nonborder state, I would probably keep supporting the GOP for lower taxes, conservative Supreme Court nominations, etc. Until the illegals/soon-to-be-amnestied legals invaded, that is.

MEGoody,
Heaven knows, I'm not leading! I'm just following my conscious on my core issue (above) for the first time in decades. Others need to follow their own consciouses and make their own decisions. I'm certainly not like a liberal and trying to tell anyone else how to vote. I'm sure pretty much everyone here is intelligent enough to see the facts and make their own decisions based on what is important to them.

Oops, MEGoody, forgot to ping you on this!

Bump.

This is that issue for me as well.

I could envision myself voting for Alan Simpson or Pete Wilson-in spite of my pro-life principles-but if any open borders, illegal immigration advocate thinks he's getting my vote in the future he/she is sorely mistaken.

I certainly empathize, and in the big picture .. we don't have to be living on a border state to be dealing with this issue. It's nationwide, granted though it's magnified greatly in border states.

I don't think anything comes close to or matters more than our national security .. and this issue piggybacks that. In that arena, the Pubbies have it hands down over the Rats.

Anyone who doesn't see that is blind .. and anyone who would squander their vote and pout off to vote for a proven liberal Rat to spite the Pubbies is toying with our very survival. Those are the uninformed, petty voters I FEAR.
