Illegal alien bill shelved, but there’s every ch..

Well now, that was fast.

It’s really irritating how the Senate was basically trying bait the public with their stupidity.

As Michelle Malkin warns, if the public lets down its guard, this nonsense will come back. Realizing this, that’s why it’…

Ya mean Republicans are supposed to be conservative? Dang, I shore missed that one!

Except for a war (warranted and just) and a couple of decent SC appointments (whose appointments were resisted by the donkeys for purely political reasons, not ethical), I just can’t see a whole bunch of difference between most the donkeys and most the elephants. They’re both neck deep in red ink, they’re both up to their behinds in ethical violations (maybe not legal violations, but ethical), and the only important thing on either agenda is how to get re-elected, not what is right for the continuation of our once-great nation.

Gary, you and I have discussed this before. I agree having a Frenchy (or worse, a Shylock Edwards) make any appointment to the SC would be disastrous for decades, but I also remember what my old drunk Hungarian uncle used to say: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Tell us, do we want to get socially and fiscally raped by a RINO, or by a donkey? I personally don’t see a whole bunch of difference, it’s still rape. And right now the RINOs are chortling to themselves that we don’t have a whole bunch of choice.

“I am a proud Conservative who is noticing a decided lack of Conservatism in the Republican party”

I’ve been saying that since 2000 and every time I do people get pissy with me….

That whole scene of these Congressmen announcing a huge agreement, only to get intense opposition after people actually started reading the 500 pages, was discusting. Apparently the plan was for the controlling leadership (Sen. Frist) to get the thing passed, before anyone read it, while everyone was hurrying off to their 17-day vacation.

Tom DeLay was one of the few people to say anything articulate on the topic this week, and he has resigned. Gee, illegal immigrants can use a five year old phone bill to prove they’ve been here 5 years. And Frist’s new best friend Bush still refuses to allow a wall. How can anyone vote for any of these clowns?

I’d like to agree but I can’t. While I’d like to think the primaries are a viable option for change, I don’t believe they are for a second. The party money plays an awfully big role in selecting candidates.

Also, if your only means of holding a candidate or party accountable is to vote tham out what exactly do you gain by keeping them in office if they refuse to listen?

Yes, I overall support Republicans, but I refuse to go with any party that is willing to sell us out as baldly as they have over immigration.

I’m truly sorry if that messes up “Republican” gains, but I’ve never claimed to be a Republican. Much like the title of this blog I am a proud Conservative who is noticing a decided lack of Conservatism in the Republican party.
