"I am voting the straight Republican ticket, as I have done since 1972 at age 18. However, if the GOP runs an open borders Presidential candidate next year, I am going to write in KARL MARX!!"
I'm worried that Tom Tancredo may lead a revolt against the GOP standard-bearer in 2008 giving the election to hitlary.
I see the Amnesty issue as the wedge that will splinter the center-right party and lead to the election of a farleftist. Tancredo could be the next Ross Perot, resulting in another 8 years of clintonism, squared. I don't think the Republic could survive it.
" I don't think the Republic could survive it. "
The Republic will not survive the wanton destruction of it's language and culture either. The House has at least ostensibly slapped Bush's face on open borders. Time will tell if the RNC is asleep at the wheel, or responsive to the 75% of Americans(including hispanic Americans) who want the borders secured.
