Thanks for clearing that up.

Yes, the Republican majority in the Senate will now bring forth a more reasonable and restrictive bill on illegal immigration.

Oh wait, you guys lost the 2006 election for us so the Democrats are in charge of the Senate so there will NOT be a more restrictive or reasonable bill as you say.

What is so hard to understand about this?

There are no political resources in the field to implement the anger of borderbots. This is reality.

You have to actually elect someone to office who agrees with you.

This should have been part of your educational process.

Where you're involved, there is no us.

The mere fact that tonight......20 million illegals do not currently have a “pathway to citizenship”...and thus voting rights is victory enough for me.

All else is just window dressing. We’ll lick our wounds and live to fight this monstrosity another day. The closer the day comes to “election” day.....the better this bill will become. That is a fact.

Borderbots. I like it, kinda catchy. Thanks.

We don't need a new law, the current one simply needs to be enforced.

And we elect people who agree with us all the time. Then they get to Washington and a few hundred lobbyists each pay them a few thousand dollars, and they spin like tops. Then we throw them out and elect another set who agree with us. We figure one day the nimrods will purchase a clue and stay there.

Until that day, the world turns. Conservatism does not need its elected representatives of a given hour, since it is timeless moral truth and will always "out" in the end. The reverse cannot be said of the limp pragmatists, who still haven't noticed that nothing fails like the worship of immediate "success".

(If you have the slightest doubt in the matter, compare Reagan to Bush pere...)

“You have to actually elect someone to office who agrees with you.

Exactly. Everyone should vote for someone who AGREES with them. It would be stupid to vote for someone who disagrees with you, but I can’t help but suspect you think we should do that too. I suppose we should give up and just vote for whoever you agree with, which is apparently anyone on the planet no matter how liberal or wrong-headed.

Honestly, there is such an amazingly wide disconnect between reality and your posts that I have to wonder if they aren’t some sort of prank.

We should rebuild the grassroots conservative movement. From the Reagan Revolution of 1980 through the Contract with America in 1994, it was this movement from outside Washington that carried us to the first center-right majority governing coalition in more than 60 years. The problem has not been with conservatism or with our voters. The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington. -- Newt Gingrich, 11-13-2006
