Tom Tancredo in 2004 anyone??

Have to see what his stances are on other issues, but as far as illegal immigration he and I are in full agreement.

I propose a Pauline Hanson type candidate to wake up the Republicans.

Then who in the United States has both the philosophy you want plus the ability to actually get elected?

[Jennikins]

I feel that Bush's and the NWO's goal is to make everyone equally poor. We have already diluted our country's strength with the millions of poor illegals here who have shown absolutely no allegiance to our country. It is now a fragmented population, all going hither and yon in seperate directions and with no loyalty to the United States.

Without it, Social Security goes totally bust.

Excellent point. First mention I've seen in quite a while regarding the "import SS payments" aspect of immigration.

Aw for Pete's sake, mouthpiece. You link to an "article" on the website of a wetback advocacy law firm as a "source" to back up your claim that FAIR is a racist hate group.

This is a conservative forum, boy. Communist lawyers don't belong here. Go back to DU, as if you ever really left there.

Read my #757 again....they don't NEED the ability to actually get elected...One Nation was not "electable" in Australia. But they had enough votes to take away from the Labour Party that Labour effectively "hijacked" One Nation's stance on immigration because they were afraid of losing the election last year.

It's nice to be in the majority for once. :o)))))

...didn't the Roman empire fall because of a lack of highly skilled illegal alien lettuce pickers?

Yes. In addition to scads of syphillus from 24-7 orgies, and mass, inter-generational lead poisoning from their plumbing, many Romans simply couldn't handle the pressure of $10/head lettuce. They just wandered off into the hills and cried about the lettuce. Then the empire collapsed. Very sad.

This thread is a definite keeper. I have it bookmarked and will e-mail the URL of this thread to several people in my address book.

It's a good speech. Someone I thought had linked it on the real player recently, might have been another thread. But it's good to know someone in Congress understands illegal immigration is a crime. There just isn't enough of them.

I see, so what you are doing is trying to "scare" Bush into stopping the amnesty. I think I see what you are doing now, all this talk of "losing my vote" is just a bluff and you are using Australia as an example of how that worked. However, if the tactic does not work what is plan B?

Oh my Gosh, then Dane is right!

LOL

The diehard Bushies are all socialists. Of course the object of their worship is a socialist too, so there's no real surprise involved, is there? ;-)

[sarcasm]

My statement that I won't vote for Bush again is no bluff - I don't trust him.

[Dane is a hero here and a very bright and articulate poster]

I urge you to seek professional help before you snap and kill us all.

Fine, then who is on the bench to replace him? Are you just saying "anyone but Bush" or do you have a viable candidate in mind?

[HennepinPrisoner]

What "bluff"? If George W. Bush is the Republican candidate in 2004, then I'll vote for the 3rd Party. That's not a "bluff".

However, if the tactic does not work what is plan B

We just need a candidate that can draw enough Republican votes away from Bush if he goes through with this plan. There will always be Bushites who will support him no matter what. But there are enough people upset enough about his immigration policy to swing an election.

If what you are saying is "What if Bush does not listen?",well then that is a political chance he has to take.

Who knows? Maybe he doesn't even care if he wins or not...this amnesty program is probably going to make him personally wealthy.
