That's actually Bush's position, you know the dear fearless leader you voted for twice. That's the stand of pro-corporate republicans/libertarians advocating open borders. Of course there are a few on the left that agree with them on this specific issue for humanitarian reasons but their number is insignificant.

Then again I am not surprised you're confused, you're so easy to fool, after all for more than 5 years you sincerely believed that Bush was a decisive leader and a visionary.

Well unfortunately, you're right. Bush and his brother Jeb, plus a lot of establishment republican surrogates, are out there using liberal PC name-calling to intimidate their opponents. Bush himself called the Minutemen "vigilantes."

I thought Bush had learned his lesson on using the "trust me" argument, after the Harriet Miers fiasco. The fact is, Mr. President, we don't trust you. You have failed miserably to enforce our borders or our immigration laws.

My father is a state rep for seniors and he is the point person for the state for the medicare drug program. According to him it's a great program and most of what the democrats say are just a bunch of lies.

He's put more into education than any other president.
No bid contracts have been going on forever.
Yes, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS dont' have a say, BECAUSE THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW DUH????

You just want the governement to babysit you and hold your hand and hug you when you are upset.

I do not.

Yep, like corporate welfare for oil companies and medicare drug bill - disaster for seniors but bonanza for the drug industry, no-bid contracts for Halliburton and guest worker program for any employer seeking cheap and oppressed labor unable to complain and willing to work in inhuman conditions. Lest we forget his attempts to turn Social Security "entitlement" into a stock market gamble benefitting bankers and brokers. His "No child left behind" signature program was underfunded though.

You really don't have a clue.

LOL. According to your previous post Bush "loves the entitlement programs" and is therefore a closet liberal but according to your dad Medicare drug benefit is a "great program" but the dems hate it.

Why don't you work out your family disagreements with your father before you post on public forums and embarrass yourself with serious logical inconsistencies. Let alone your father's judgement which is contrary to overwhelming evidence that the program benefitted the drug industry only and its implementation was a disaster.

Not really, I want the government to work for me, to be lean, mean and efficient, to provide services that the private sector for whatever reasons can't, does not want to or has failed to provide. I want the government to provide checks and balances against the power of wealth so that the wealthiest individual does not always win, so that the interests of a $5hr worker are represented equally with the interests of Warren Buffet or Bill Gates, so that a multimillionaire can't destroy my family phisically or finanically just because he can afford to.

The left's stance is that if you are against illegal immigrants you are a racist.

You have to be "for" everything otherwise you will be labeled a homophobe, xenophobe, racist and so on.

REad some of z10's posts, he's a good example.

I agree with you to some extent on that. Anyone, of any political stripe, who thinks with those lousy terms is prone to make dumb mistakes.
