Absolutely. And that is your job. You develop a detailed plan, with charts and graphs and ensure that it's a fool-proof way of doing this and don't post until you're finished.
OOOH, how droll. Oh well that should be expected from someone who is vain enough to post a "picture" signature on every one of his posts.
Heck, no. I like to be out of power, don't you? If you don't want to win so you can enact your ideas, why are you here?
Ahem. His screen name is the pretentious "oursacredhonor" and refers to himself as "The Colonel". Yup. That's enough for me.
And even FR isn't that free... Trashing and telling outright lies about Pres Bush is allowed at FR but even responding negatively about Alan Keyes isn't.
It would appear that even when we do win, our ideas cannot be enacted. This is to ensure the next victory. What's the purpose again, aside from retaining power?
Still out there: doing nothing... And Byrd is a former Klansman!
But if Charlton Heston, who marched with Martin Luther King on Washington in 1963, used the term "white n****r" on TV, we'd have never heard the end of it.
The KKK issue with Byrd is going nowhere, because he's a Democrat. Not saying it's right, but it's reality.
Pointing out that you are a liar may technically be an ad hominem attack, but it is relevant to the issue at hand.
And refusal to debate someone who doesn't follow the rules of debate is kinda like negotiating peace in the Middle East with the guys sending suicide bombers in pizza parlors, hotels, and supermarkets--it's pretty stupid.
Man, this is a tough crowd. Even on Good Friday, we go for the jugular here (me included). ;-)
George Washington only vetoed bills on the grounds that they weren't Constitutional. Of course it's the President's duty.
After a full-court press by the "Manufacturers of Consent," showing Enron employees reduced to eating dogfood in cardboard boxes, holding signs saying "Will manage commodity deals for food," and piously wailing about how we need CFR "For the CHILL-ILL-RRUUNN," are you STILL willing to bet on that outcome?
IF you are, you're a bigger fool than I believed possible.
Politics is no longer a battle between conseratives versus liberals per se but conservitaves versus the press.
And frankly, as much as I respect him, I don't think he could beat Bill Clinton in a campaign today. There are some objective conditions here, and we need to figure out a way to turn things around within those conditions. If we ignore them, we are toast.

Your second sentence would be relevant, if your first was not false.
I have not mischaracterized Section 245(i) at all, as you full well know. According to the INS...
INS Memo: Sec. 245(i) filingsSection 245 of the Act allows an alien to apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident (LPR) while in the United States if certain conditions are met. The alien must have been inspected and admitted or paroled, be eligible for an immigrant visa and admissible for permanent residence, and, with some exceptions, have maintained lawful nonimmigrant status. The alien must also not have engaged in unauthorized employment.
Section 245(i) of the Act allows an alien to apply to adjust status under section 245 notwithstanding the fact that he or she entered without inspection, overstayed, or worked without authorization.
LINK.President Bush's 245(i) extension was specifically about illegals. .
How Do I Benefit From Section 245(i)?
(from INS website)Our immigration laws allow qualified individuals to enter the United States as lawful permanent residents ("green card" holders) after they obtain immigrant visas from a consulate or embassy outside the United States or, for many immigrants already lawfully in the United States, through a process called "adjustment of status." If you entered the United States unlawfully, if you entered with permission but did not stay in lawful status, or if you worked without permission, you normally would have to leave the United States in order to apply for an immigrant visa. Special rules under section 245(i) may allow you to apply to adjust status without leaving the United States.
You might need section 245(i) if you:
- Entered the U.S. without being inspected by an INS official.
- Stayed in the U.S. longer than allowed by INS.
- Entered the U.S. as a worker on an aircraft or ship (crewman).
- Entered the U.S. as a "Transit Without Visa."
- Failed to continuously maintain a lawful status since your entry into the US.
- Worked in the U.S. without INS permission.
- Entered as an "S" nonimmigrant (relates to witnesses about criminal or terrorism matters).
- Are seeking a work-related visa and are out of status at the time of filing the application to adjust status (Form I-485).
- Worked in the U.S. while being an "unauthorized alien."
This has been posted numerous times to Amnesty Deniers, but they still persist.
Letting Illegals stay = Amnesty for those Illegals.What is the source of your difficulty with understanding this?
