GOP Drifting Toward Disaster
Human Events Online ^ | 5/12/06 | Robert Bluey

Posted on 05/13/2006 1:06:40 AM PDT by wotan

With Senate Republicans “drifting toward disaster” on immigration, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said it’s up to President Bush to reconnect with the majority of Americans who support a strong enforcement-first approach.

Bush will deliver a primetime speech to the nation Monday night on immigration—kicking off what is expected to be a tumultuous time in Washington as Senate and House Republicans clash on the best way to deal with immigration reform.

You're dead wrong. On that thread, after you ordered me to not post to you again, you posted to me three more times, even though I had stopped posting to you.

Now you come in here and post to me when I wasn't even speaking to you.

I'm not interested in your attempts to engage me by hurling out your personal insults.

President Bush is a huge, crushing disappointment on the domestic front. Moreover, he is derelict in his duty to enforce our immigration laws. These are facts, this is the message.

Don't try to shoot the messenger.

OK. I'm wrong. I didn't get four posts from you before I even replied to you. I just made the whole thing up.

btw, don't fancy yourself the 'messenger' when you call the President a liar. He's not.

Had you said what you said in this post..........that he is a 'huge, crushing disappointment,' I wouldn't have said a word. Putting in the kennedyesque "Liar!" changed everything.

Perhaps sticking with the truth next time will prevent those of us who know better from 'hurling' perceived 'insults' at you............which, btw, I didn't do. I merely pointed out that you had the same opinion of the President as leftists do.......which you do, if you think he's dishonest.

Yep, the "speech" will no doubt be more hypocritical lies couched in worn-out cliches in the ever more transparent attempt to insult the American people and defy the laws of our land.

Post #91.

Case closed.

Well, we'll see tomorrow night won't we?

Don't understand your personal animosity.

BTW, how's the weather over there today. The Minutemen are passing through that area on their way back from the Caravan to D.C.

So where does someone like me fit.

Wherever you feel most comfortable when the anti-establishment party gets going, assuming it does as it has in France and Britain.

Incidentally, when you say you are a strong supporter of immigration, what do you mean and why are you?

Economic growth, population growth, cultural diversity, labor pool, expanded tax base, infusion of morally grounded Hispanics from rich Catholic tradition, perhaps it is, at least in my mind, the American way.

Again. Some of these threads are days, even weeks old. Why are they being brought back to the top?
