These next 2 years are vital to the future of this country. For 2007 we must make certain that McCain/Kennedy or whatever it's called this year does not pass the House. The President will sign it, followed by the Totalization Treaty with Mexico. In 2008 we must make the candidates address border security and immigration enforcement.
20-30 million citizens of other countries are in our country illegally, 55% from Mexico, most of the rest from other Central and South American countries. Let's not ignore the leftward voting trends of these countries. It is notable that they picked May Day, an old communist day of celebration for their marches.

Most polls show at least half of the American citizens of Hispanic descent want the borders and laws enforced. Republicans will not win by alienating their current voters to get 40% of a new small block that will grow very large, very fast if amnesty is granted. That will grow the Democrats vote larger and faster as the influx increases exponentially as the result of another amnesty. It will spell the end of the Republican Party. The people who used to vote Republican will stop voting or form a new party. Conservatives will lose political influence and we will slide inexorably towards socialism (it has already started). Most of what you hear about this issue is political propaganda that tries to convince you that what you know is wrong is right, including on Fox News. The big money players are all on board the cheap labor express, they care not that American citizens do not want another amnesty. We know the last one resulted in 10 times the number of illegal aliens and a general disregard of our laws. The next one will be equally successful.

We need Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, not reform. We need to restore respect for the law and the faith of the American people that their government is not selling them out. Amnesty for the illegal aliens is also amnesty for the corrupt companies who have been employing them. Money trumps everything, including love of country. Multi-nationals have no loyalty to country by definition, they see us as a market, not a nation. They see people as workers, documented or undocumented, no difference. If they can't send the work to where the labor is cheaper, then they want to bring the cheap labor here. Citizenship is meaningless.

If we love our Constitution and our representative Republic and we intend to keep it we must not surrender our sovereignty or abandon the rule of law. Profits must not supercede security. We should not create a new path to citizenship. We have a path to citizenship, illegal aliens have ignored it and bad choices do have consequences.

He may get in and that would shake up the race. For me Rudy McRomney is a non-starter. So far Hunter is the only announced candidate who has the conservative ideas you wrote about. I hpoe the GOP does not make us decide between 2 New York liberals.
The Republican Party under GWB seems intent on political suicide. Pandering to citizens of other countries illegally in our country while telling us we must be vigilantes if we object to illegal aliens ignoring our borders and laws. Mel Martinez is RNC Chairman to ensure an open borders candidate in '08. The cheap labor express will be kept running, regardless of the consequences, to party or country. GOP-RIP

I agree that our government doesn't give a tinker's dam what the majority of voters want. Yet we keep marching mindlessly to the polls to re-elect the same wretches who are continuously screwing us.
In January I posted a piece on this site titled "One Term is Enough." It's main thrust is that incumbents should NEVER be returned to office.
As for Fred Thompson, his less than sterling performance during the Clinton impeachment leaves me with great doubts regarding his intestinal fortitude. For a revealing account of Thompson's conduct during this period I suggest you read a book called "Sellout" by David P. Schippers who was Chief Investigative Council of the House Judiciary Committee.
As for Duncan Hunter he has no chance the way campaigns are run these days. I doubt very much if he can raise the obscene amount of money needed to get the nomination.
My personal choice of those who don't have a chance is Tom Tancredo. He was here last year at a Town Meeting with our since defeated Congressman Charles Taylor. I was quite impressed by his wide range of knowledge on many subjects. Not only border security, for which he is mainly known, bur foreign policy and economics as well. But he has the same problem as Hunter - money. The two dominant parties have the electoral process so rigged in their favor that an independent has no chance.

And all of this makes me FURIOUS!!!!
