If the Dems don’t win the White House next year they never will win it again.

It’s also difficult to demand respect from your base, when you show your base no respect. Especially after they helped elect the guy twice. I can assure you that if GWB were up for reelection, I would be seeking another party.

Cheney has a chance now to save this country. If he takes over and builds the fence, wins the Iraq war and smashes Iran, he could be President for 8 years.

Bush needs to be removed from office by the VP.

Conservatives should toss the RINO leadership from OUR party.

In view of 06 and 08, with Bush pushing on amnestry at key points in time, Bush is the Dem’s best friend.

Right there with you. I voted twice for the man, gave until it hurt, was a poll worker for Jorge’ in both elections, and Hell I even gave to his fund when he was fighting Gore for the Presidency. Big mistake on my part. I have come to understand that it’s not so much Conservative VS. Liberal but rather elitists VS. average joe six pack American.

If you look at the recent past, I can’t agree. We did well in 2002 and had a historic win in 2004. We controlled the Presidency, House and Senate. Morality was the number one issue according to exit polling in 2004. How we got to this sorry state in a span of 2 years is nothing other than a dereliction of duty by the President and our Congressional leaders.

Ed Rollins was on Lou Dobbs last week, he said he had flashbacks to when the promising breaking lying elitist elder Bush broke his read my lips pledge. He said small donors disappeared after that just like they are under Jorge’s push on amnesty. The small donors may not give the big bucks that NWO corporations do, but the small donors represent lots of votes as well. The son like the father ending his term in office spitting on those who elected and supported him.

Bush is the Dem’s best friend.

I'm not so sure. The Dems were planning on running their presidential campaign with the saddling of whoever the Republican candidate was with Bush, whose popularity will probably be in the single digits by election time. The amnesty bill has forced most of the Republican contenders to move sharply away from Bush. If they are smart, by election time the Republican candidate will have moved so far away from Bush that the Democrats will be unable to use support of Bush in their campaign.

Bush, inadvertently, has not only galvanized the base but has helped to start a coalition, based on anti-amnesty anger, that includes Independents and "Reagan Democrats". If this coalition can be nurtured by a perceptive candidate, the Democrats will be in trouble come election time.

I’m with you in spirit but it’s more comlicated this slide....

Reagan gave us an amnesty too...as have many others

what is bad this time is the magnitude...this threatens to make the US majority hispanic in short order...let’s make no pretense otherwise...that is as much the argument as secure borders for defense

Bush has really jumped the shark on so many issues now, it’s sorta snowballed.

The first few things I tried to ignore....AWB...CFR...

but...I blame politcal correctness over any issue involving non-whites...non-Christians....the folks that founded our culture here are now the object of derision for their religion and race

that is what drives our inability to deal with war and immigration and most domestic issues...fear of being called bad names....like bigot, racist, xenophobe
