According to Joe Hadenuf: Official Free Republic Position Parallels GOP On Immigration. No Big Deal

janet, Little Brown Man Watch is offering three years for the price of two, and will kick in a pair of ankle-high waders for crossing the Rio Grande, if you pay up front.

Stinky, as usual, you make no sense. What does your comment have to do with the (aided by the U.S. government) invasion of America and the fact that MOST Americans are strongly against it? I'm sick of paying for the ankle-high waders and all the other $$$ freebies, aren't you?

[janetgreen]

We're ALL hoping that the judges Bush appoints will stand up for constitutional restoration. None of us want more liberal judges in America.

As far as the President's policies are concerned, that's the rub. So far he has refused to step up to the plate for American citizens/workers, preferring foreign interests instead, and that's where he's gone absolutely wrong in America's eyes. In the face of terrorist threats since 2001, our borders are still like swiss cheese, and he has allowed the importation of poverty, ignorance, disease and dependence (by the millions) without a thought of what this mess is doing to America's communities, schools, hospitals, jobs, etc.

As a recent example, instead of speaking out against thousands of foreign nationals who are marching and flaunting Mexican flags in our faces and demanding their "rights", he jets off to Mexico to sell us out even further to his buddy Vicente. True, he's not doing it alone. Clinton did it, and Bush is following the same policy, only it's getting worse.

It's time we had a REAL American president who will actually protect American interests instead of selling them to the highest bidder. Does that man exist? Probably not in Washington. Those kind of real men don't belong to the boy's club there, so they are shunned.

Hillary would be the worst thing that ever happened to America, so the GOP had better put their thinking caps on and demand that their Senators and Reps start listening to those who elected them.

Looks like we're between a rock and a hard place. So what else is new?

[janetgreen]

So what else is new?

Just gettin' older and crankier, JR. Who's your pick for the GOP candidate in '08? They HAVE to find someone who can defeat the witch (if she runs, and I think she will).

I believe it's vital that the GOP will run a candidate in '08 who will be STRONG! on borders/homeland security/immigration law enforcement.

[Jim Robinson]

I don't know. Got any candidates in mind?

[janetgreen]

The only guy I like right now is Tom Tancredo, but I have to research his voting history in the House on other issues before I would write his name in. I'm sure he won't be on the ballot because he's not a member of the boy's club in D.C. I do believe that he's one of the few in the GOP who is concerned about the future of our country rather than the bottom $$$ line or their re-election.

[Jim Robinson]

By the way, while we're on the subject of his policies, I'm very thankful for George W Bush for what he's done for us in the following areas and that we do not have a Marxist liberal Democrat in his position:

National defense/the war against Islamofascism

Appointing judges

Defending the right to life

Defending marriage

Cutting taxes

Unsigning Kyoto


Wish he could do more in regards to privatizing social security and ending the income tax.

Very disappointed in his expansion of spending and his signing of CFR.

I posted way before the elections that I didn't believe he would solve the illegal immigration problem but neither would any Democrat. It's apparent that neither party can solve the issue. This one will be up to we the people.

[Jim Robinson]

I don't know much about him other than his stand against illegal immigration. If that is the number one issue of the day, he's probably head over shoulders above any other politician of either party, but don't know if that's enough to carry the day for him.

[janetgreen]

Yes, he has a few good marks on his report card, I'll concede that.

I'll just never forgive him for leaving the borders open, especially after 9/11/01. He lost his credibility on that one. It made no sense to leave the borders open while telling us that terrorists were such a threat to America.

Pushing amnesty for border hoppers also lost him much respect. He's acting without conscience and without a care in the world about those who elected him.

Neither party wants to solve the illegal alien problem. That is why we need a STRONG third party, to let the boy's club know that we're not going to put up with them anymore. BTW, I'm a lifetime GOP member, but I have defected, as have many of my friends and family here in invaded southern CA.

[Jim Robinson]

Sorry, IMHO, third parties are pipe dreams.

[Jim Robinson]

Even with a third party, you'd still have to have that perfect candidate that can gain the support of the people on a whole host of issues, plus having an organization capable of raising hundreds of millions in cash and putting it all smoothly, professionally and confidently out over the airwaves. And you'll need 60 plus million voters to beat the Democrats. If you don't already have all that, it's too late

[Willie Green]

BUMP!!!

[wardaddy]

Back at ya.

[Willie Green]

IMHO, third parties are pipe dreams.

"All political ideas cannot and should not be channeled into the programs of our two major parties. History has amply proved the virtue of political activity by minority, dissident groups, who innumerable times have been the vanguard of democratic thought and whose programs were ultimately accepted."

-- Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren - "Sweezey v. New Hampshire" (1957)

Third parties provide an honorable means of maintaining integrity and voting FOR a candidate who best reflects one's conscience.

If not for third parties, some of us would be forced to pursue a voting strategy of voting for the opposition -- NOT because we actually support them, but as a method of ridding ourselves of incumbents of our own party who have betrayed our principles.
