I guess you missed the part where tens of millions of illegals entered during the Republican Bush years, helping put the final nails in the CA coffin.
Bush's hands are so stained with blood that all the bleach and lye in the world will never remove the mark. He was a walking, mumbling, cluster f***. We are still paying for his sins. In fact without Bush, there would be no Obama.
Actually, I was right here at Free Republic, passionately working to stop the Bush-McCain Amnesty in 2005.
Those were amazing days.
Free Republic was almost unified against Amnesty in that period.
There is no question in my mind that the internal GOP insurrection that stopped Amnesty in 2005-2008 began right here - on these pages - and spread to the rest of the country.
But, that's ancient history.
Today, at least 50% of Free Republic members support Amnesty, and Immigration Hawks, like me, are routinely shouted down and labeled as Trump “haters.”
