Mehlman's warning

Townhall ^ | 5/6/6 | Robert Novak

[Jim_Curtis]

Mehlman stressed the necessity to pass a budget resolution and an immigration reform bill, dealing with two issues that seriously concern the Republican base.

I think the Republican base is eager to see our current immigration laws enforced but I'm sure they will spin all the anxiety to mean conservatives are eager for the current tough laws to be replaced with some sort of amnesty bill.

I will no Longer give any money to them...If they do not address the immigration issue..hard and now..close the border..kick out the illegals..or make them pay...billions..that is what they cost us...

[Youngman442002]

Amnesty means I buy more AMMO..instead of donate to the Republicans...sorry..but I need to protect myself

[stopem]

This issue is way to hot right now, the dems support the illegal aliens because they are not lawmakers they prefer lawbreakers.

The Republicans should step above the fray and pass strict legislation and get national guard on the border
immediately show that they will not tolerate illegal aliens breaking in to this country because they are TOT (tough on terroists) and stop romanticizing the breakins as being a misdemeaner, it isn't a misdemeaner when a nuclear bomb comes across the border.

Amen to that. I returned their envelope to them with a contribution of $0.00 and told them I will be glad to contribute if and when I see Pres Bush use his veto pen...just once!!!!! I encourage everyone to do the same - send them a note in their SASE so they have to read it and pay the postage.

45 seats is just a bit extreme. If all the seats on my lists become truly competitive, and if the Democrats won by 1994 GOP proportions, then they'd pick up 38 seats.

[samadams2000]

Like they listen..flush!!!

[NRA2BFree]

Ken heard more than he wanted to hear from me. LOL Suffice to say, he won't be sending me any email asking me to help with the campaign this year.

[ANGGAPO]

That man is living in a dream world. GWB has screwed upon immigration and oil, big time. The MSM is beating him to death with the help of the Dems by planting seeds of discontent on everything. Add to that the pack of wolves that call themselves Republicans in congress who have deserted the president and their party for points in the coming election. This is really a sickening situation. The Dems are setting in the wings with impeachment, big taxes for everyone, and a liberal agenda that will destroy the economy. I can't believe that these ingrates are doing this for the sake of politics.

Any bill that gets the border issue off the front pages, right Ken ?

Doesn't matter what "reform" it contains, just as long as it passes, Bush will sign it, right Ken ?

Just like the failed campaign finance "reform", which contained s#i+ Bush had said he would veto...but he signed it anyway !

These guys think we are sooooo stupid...

Sen. Charles Grassley, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, turned down a request to meet in the Oval Office with President Bush and other Senate and House tax legislators last Tuesday because he was scheduled with Iowa constituents.

That marked Grassley's second recent boycott of a high-level meeting about tax legislation. A week earlier, he declined to attend an 8:30 p.m. session in Speaker Dennis Hastert's office because it was so late in the day.




Geez...and people wonder why the President can't get anything done!

[axes_of_weezles]

Nah, Just reloading supplies. ;)

[hellbender]

I did something like that recently, but frankly I think only a clerical flunky sees those envelopes. Probably we should send letters to Frist and all the other big-spending Republican congressional "misleaders," saying we will not contribute a penny.

Vicente can pay us with oil --- at $30 a barrel.

[Pylot]

The republicans need to actually pass a law that their constituents want, rather than pander to the illegals and their benefactors.

If they try to pass "immigration reform" and it means amnesty the republicans will play right into the hands of the dims.

The dims in turn may very well turn the deal to their advantage because they will put up a full amnesty law, bush will sign it and the dims will reap the benefit of both the illegals and their families voting for them in the future.

You want to send a message to the RNC that they will hear loud and clear??? Then do the following:

Send them one of these instead of a donation, using the RNC's own postage paid return envelopes!!!

Send one along to a politically like-minded relative or friend who opposes Amnesty, but doesn’t visit Free Republic!!!

The RNC will miss your money more than they will miss your vote!!! If you do not have access to a printer, then write “Secure Our Borders, Stop Catering to Illegals, Then We Will Send American Dollars” or something similar on your donation slip and return it to the RNC in their postage paid envelopes will work as well as sending the “peso”!!!

If you do want to give financially to Republicans, give only to individual candidates/politicians who support or vote to secure our borders and don’t cater to illegals!!!

If dems take the House, Bush is not only impeached but found guilty in the Senate, and he will end up in jail.

And our conservative movement will be set back for decades.

This conservative will never support Bush after he turned his back on us in January 2005.

Let the Latinos support him.

Bush can't even find the guts to defend his own honor and fight when openly being insulted by someone, he'll cower once impeached to the point of total embarrassment.

I'll never vote for another Bush, never.

[reaganandme]

As much as I disagree with the way some Republicans have handled themselves, a Harry Reid Senate or Nancy Pelosi House would be a disaster. Horrible for the economy. Horrible for the war on terror.
We still don't know what a Democratic house will do with Iraq. Will they cut off the spending?
We may soon find out...

[unixfox]

Just "passing bills" doesn't mean sh!t. They have to have meat in em. So far all I've seen from the pubbies is tender veal and lots of soft avacados.

They are all wimps in my book.
