Right. Name one success the top boss can claim in six years (Bush) that has sealed the border. He needs them for his six mansions.

We agree Highgreen. Through the haze we agree on something. Bush isn't, hasn't and won't do anything to seal our borders. That's because he is not a Conservative. He is closer to being one of you. You should love him. Look how far left the Republican party has swung in the last 10 years. You should be applauding them. Before long you won't have sneak to buy your weed. Won't be long you'll be able to break bread with Lane and Marilyn Watts.

Agree. Most of the Republican Party is now either liberal or lacks the courage to do what is needed.

The Democratic Party is so liberal it cannot gel or do anything meaninngful since that would require agreeing on solutions, other than running to the UN.

Keeping it real and to the core of the issue, not the peripherals.

Can't be. He hasn't done anything except run up the bill and fight.
The lack of gravitas republicans in congress and the senate let him do so (Frist and the like).

Bush is fully demanding amnesty for the illegals in this country.

I don't hate him. But I sure am 100% opposed to his position on this issue.

He says they are helping our economy and our economy is doing just fine for the common American. Both those premises are totally false.

Yep. This issue reaches back through Bush Senior and Clinton as well. The law signed under Reagan to tighten the borders was never enforced.

Both parties are responsible in this issue.

This is the way one does when they are wrong: yeah, we are wrong but the other side is just as guilty, therefore forgetaboutit. Six years isn't enough time would have been another good excuse.

Well, nobody but you. Is that how you feel? I don't think so. PTC Guy said plenty of blame to go around, and I agree. RR wanted the borders enforced, nobody since him has done anything about it. Both parties are salivating over the Hispanic Vote, that is the way I see it. Both parties need a major reshuffling, that is also the way I see it.

As far as I am concerned RR was the last good president. Terrorism was down because he did not need to debate forever before doing something, he had compassion while understanding business was essential to the country, but both elements had to work together, and so on.

Both parties have lost any hint of a moral base. So how can we expect them to give a hoot about us little folk?

PTC Guy oh how right you are. How I ache to have a true leader like Ronnie back in power. What a gentleman and lover of this country and all peoples. Where is someone of like mind and integrity to step up and lead us? Ronald Reagan we miss you. And Bush convinces me more and more that we need to step back to our Conservative roots. Bassomatic and Highgreenone. That ought to give you something to attack.

The one who really destroyed the Republican party. He was a democrat too long. He spent twice as much as he took in, something republicans had never done before. Now foreign companies own us by buying our debt. (Bush has also doubled the debt). At least democrats only spend what they tax and they try to get it from those who can best pay more. Reagan was an actor, a man who pretended a lot. Took credit for the Soviet problem but had very little to with with it except verbally. He married a tart, the second one, and destroyed his children. A real hero? He and John Wayne avoided any combat as did George and Bill. Where do we get these wonderful people? I know: they promise oil companies and others to do what they want.

Actually, the Democratic Congress of that time spend more than Reason's plans brought in.

John Wayne did not avoid combat. You are wrong again. He had a 4-F rating physically.

Keeping it real and to the core of the issue, not the peripherals.

Right. He went from football at UCLA to riding horses like crazy and being in a million fights---but he was disabled?

Reagan made movies for propaganda purposes---I saw no volunteering for combat. I was there.

The military has always had some physical rules that did not always make sense. I have always felt that way.

Not disabled, but unfit. As in flat feet makes one unfit for milityar duty, but sure does not make them disabled.

No, you were not there for establishing Regan's duty stations or knowing if he voluteered.

Hmmm. I was Navy when Kerry had body guards, conveniently had all that film footage of him and got off with only 3 months there when a River Rat's normal tour was 2 years.

Back on topic. No, those were the actually physical rules at that time. You don't pass the qualifications you don't go.

How you feel about them is a moot point.

Highgreen. You really need to start researching and not regurgitating liberal nonsense.

Regan's Military Record
He dodged nothing.

John Wayne & the Military

He tried to enlist and was rejected.

a county a immigrants so ofter it is a joke. Yes we were a country of immigrants. Mine came in the 1630s. They worked or starved like everyone else. No one met them with a bunch of public welfare goodies. when illegals have a child here, that child is a US citizen and the parents are put on welfare to stay here n take care o the child. And so it begins. If a US citizen has a child...what do you get? Nothing..I use to see blacks and whites at jobs sites..not anymore. They can't compete with the illegals that come here n don't have to pay taxes, or employers pay SS for US citizens. They are displacing US workers and taking the money back to Mexico...only the big companies and Bush cronies that hire them benfit. Again the ones that paid their dues, are being replaced. It isn't fair.
