Wryword Wrote:The Republican George II, coming off a 400 million dollar drug benefit victory, follows up with another Democrat dream. Now we are going to open the gates to aliens in the country, with all the costs that will involve. Those of us who are conservatives have had quite enough of this Bush. We can't wait to start paying the bill after he leaves office. He has more in common with LBJ than any other president of recent memory, and I frankly cannot abide the man. In fact, he is the best candiate the demos have running right now. Unbelievably, the out of the closet democrats are even worse. God, how I wish we had won the war between the states. My hatred and contempt for both national parties knows no bounds now. George II is only interested in re-election; he could give a damn about the bill to be paid by the taxpayers to keep his no good ****** in office, and this makes him just like any national democrat you can name. :mad: :mad: :mad:
Yeah Wry! I feel your pain.
Anyway, I spoke to two Repugnicans yesterday and they both conceded to me that they hate this Bush. One said, "you know, you go your whole life thinking the President of the United States is a smart man. Then comes Bush and the myth is exposed because the fact of the matter is, Bush is really really dumb. I'm smarter than our President...that just ain't right!"
The answer, GOPpers need to challenge him for the nomination. McCain or Chuck Hagel would make a fine President, a fine candidate. Who says there's a rule the GOP can't challenge their own incumbent?
The immigrant thing is not such a good policy for many reasons, namely it allows employers to legally exploit alien workers rather than having to maintain some chicanery about it. It also opens up alien paychecks to FICA and federal withholding and employers will no longer be able to pay them cash under the table.
What's this remark about the Civil War? Don't you realize Davis had political enemies? Factions would have grown and grown had the break-away Republic worked. There might have been even more political parties in any Southern republic.
Fact is Wry, the CSA failed because there were too many factions. There was a failure on the part of Southerners to cohesively support the CSA government and the people skirted its authority in many different ways. Even whole states like Arkansas, Georgia and North Carolina.
Read Paul Escott's book "After Secession: Jeff Davis and the Failure of Confederate Nationalism" and pay attention to the primary sources in his bibliography.
