We would have never gotten 2/3 of the Senate. Especially with Arlen Spectors 'Not Proven' verdict. We did get 51 however, if memory serves me right. So we can always say a majority voted against Clinton. We stuck to our principles, the left did not. Oh, wait a minute. Maybe they did stick to their principles.

This snippet from the Nicktoons cartoon "Invader Zim" sums up the sentiments about Bush which drove the majority vote for this election:

>>>> Lots of people have put Reagan on a pedestal .... but I remember what actually DID happen.

You're a provocateur and the biggest Reagan revisionist on Free Republic. No one is putting Reagan on any pedestal. Reagan just happens to be one of the greatest Presidents in US history, and the greatest POTUS of the 20th century. You keep attempting to undermine and denigrate the Reagan legacy because you're an old sourpuss and you hate conservatives.

What we know of Ronald Reagan is that he had to compromise with a Democratic Congress in order to build up the military, fight the Commies around the world, and win the Cold War, as well as deregulate, cut taxes, and turn the economy around.

I believe that this was the best Reagan could do on immigration under the circumstances and Bush 1 never followed through on this or built upon it, Clinton wouldn't and either is Bush 2.

I find it hard to believe that Reagan didn't care about illegal immigration. It's up to the presidents that are elected afterwards to make sure the laws of the land are executed.

I do know that Bush 1 didn't enforce these laws, Clinton wouldn't, and Bush 2 isn't.


Ronald Reagan couldn't do everything in 8 years.

HORSEFEATHERS!

No, what I try to do, is to interject actual FACTS; something which seems to keep eluding you.

No, Reagan couldn't do everything and since he had THREE major goals, illegal aliens NOT being one of them, he did what he could, with what he had going for him. That is NOT the point.

The point is, that since Eisenhower, not a single president has done much about illegals and the Southern border.

What's far worse, though, is that at the local level, where things SHOULD be done, what has been done, in most places, is to encourage illegals, by making certain towns and cities "SANCTUARIES" and having some local governments make it illegal for anyone to turn in illegals to the INS/ICE.

BALERDASH!

Most of the time you fabricate you're own facts, or obfuscate the truth. You're deluded.

I couldn't agree more.

The vituperation, hate, slander, lies, and character assassination directed against this President by the MSM is unprecedented in my lifetime. The MSM, along with the Democrats were both struck with Bush Derangement Syndrome.

I wish the President and his team had not been so tone deaf on the immigration issue but nothing is perfect.

One's character becomes more evident in adversity and some of the Republicans have been shameless in their Monday Morning Quarterbacking.

I feel grateful that we have not been attacked for five years and I give the President and his team the most credit for this.

The treason Party, by contrast, has attempted to undermine the President in this effort from the start. As Rush has observed they would rather lose this war if it insured their return to power. For that reason alone the Treason Party is contemptible. Now I understand why Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War.

Now, you're just throwing a tantrum, not even worthy of a two year old. LOL

Get back to me, or don't, when you at last regain your composure and adulthood.

Bears repeating! (As a Packer backer, those are difficult words for me to put together like that.)

Get over it.

Now, it appears that left is doing their "rising tide" sweep to take down FR and conservative pundits and Talk show hosts. It's a slow creep, but I am observing it happening.

No matter "how Vote2006" came about, conservatives had best be quick to gather their wits, and in speaking no evil of a fellow.., IMHO.

The vultures are hovering.

Sadly, most of the so called elite talkers found more time to kiss up to demonrats than to criticize them. They enjoyed bashing the President day in and day out.

We have paid a terrible price for allowing ourselves to be swayed by the MSM and bunch of loudmouth turncoats.

This President continues to have my daily prayers. And that goes for Rumsfeld too! And I'd go hunting with Cheney any day!
