Thanks for what you do Lake…I’m a bit crazy sometimes.

No problem dude. We ain’t gonna let our ~~boys~~ men in Iraq down either. We need to secure the home front first.

Bush is trying to revive this travesty with an intensity he does not use when he must confront Democrats. He seems to be more comfortable screwing America and the GOP than in fighting for conservative causes. his lies about Hispanic family values, education levels, and crime are slowly coming out. Bush’s behavior is disgusting.

LakeRuins-

Amen to that.

Talk, chew gum, and defuse an IED at the same time?

Damn.

All bills are Undead, and dangerous, until their flunkies are fired.

Time to make note of the pimps of this amnesty perversity, and make sure to track them down and un-vote them as they come up for electoral judgment.

We need Solomons, we get Salmonellas.

Time to flush the governmental bowels of these parasites.

They’re living too high on stolen loot (ours, taken by legalistic mumbo-jumbo AKA taxpayer fraud).

Time for them to head back to the hustings and repent.

Keep the sharpened stakes ready for a BILL 2- the Rematch!

There’s a lot of power behind this attempted-reaming.

They need to be noted as the ultimate marionette yankers.

And kept from flooding the land with scofflaws.

tomas, it appears Lakeruins is for my previously mentioned “comprehensive” strategy as well. Stand up to those who don’t want to enforce the laws at home and support the troops all at the same time.

Lakeruins, you are the man. God bless and thank you for all you do.

Again, You guys haven’t been as out there as you were for this AMNESTY Bill. NOR have the representatives. You are capable as is everyone else. Let Roll.

Forget about the Bill itself…that isn’t my point…it is the flat out anger committment and aggressiveness that has come from it. Than HAS waned on Iraq.

I want people to recommit to that.

tomas
You lost a friend in the war in Iraq, well welcome to the club. I don’t what qualifies as a friend in your book but did you even know what unit he was in? Did you even know he was in Iraq before you heard of his death?
I retired in 99 after 20+ years in the infantry in the Army. To date I have lost 16 friends in this war. My definition of friend is people who sat in my living room or came to my house or me to theirs to socialize. Their kids played with my kids. Their wives and my wife went out on “Girls Night Out”.
I cede the “moral high ground” to no one when they want to use that as a canard to either protest for or against the war. I know who the enemy is both foreign and domestic.
6 days after Hillary and Murtha gave a press briefing on tv and complete with a picture of a soldier wearing the body armor of the time with the vulnerable spots highlighted in red circles and published in the USA Today one of my friends took an 7.62 bullet to the exact location on the neck highlighted. He was a trained sniper taken out by a jihadi sniper.
While congress critters were bemoaning the lack of armor plating on our HMMV’s they also served notice that any explosive charge over 30lbs would punch a hole into the vehicle. Within 2 weeks you couldn’t find an IED with less then 35 lbs of explosive. We increased the armor and now the vehicles weighed too much to be jacked up for maintenance. A bunch of us got together and paid for and had shipped a bunch of 5 ton hydraulic jacks to address the problem.
When a combat medic with the 101st made us aware that the best tool in his bag and for the troops was a ratcheting style tie down strap to use as a tourniquet for soldiers hit with an IED within weeks he had enough to issue one to each man in the battalion.
Sorry but I am capable of supporting the troops and also making sure that this country addresses its concerns here at home also.
The guy in field wants me too, expects me too, and by god the least I can do while they are laying it on the line over there is try and make sure the country they left is the same one they return to.

Tomas, the reason we have troops in the first place is because we depend on them for our nations security and the preservation of our way of life. We need to secure the borders and enforce immigration laws for our nation’s security and the preservation of our way of life. So what we are pushing here is a “comprehensive” strategy. Support the troops and drive away anybody in favor of Amnesty and abandoning our nations immigration laws. Hows that?

tomas … so, by not supporting Bush on the sham amnesty bill, we’re somehow not supporting the military? This doesn’t make sense. You’re implying that we must support everything Bush does, or else we don’t support the military.

I’m voting for Rudy.

Whoa, hold on a second! Nobody supports Bush’s amnesty push and approach to the GWOT like McCain. You sure McCain’s not your man?

Also, did you just call it “this Amnesty Bill”…? Would you like to take back that Freudian slip?

I will say it again…support the troops with the same vigor you did this Amnesty Bill. It isn’t hard people.

I’m voting for Rudy.

Never mind everything I’ve ever written. Tomas is right.

SUPPORT AMNESTY! SAVE THE TROOPS!

tomas, you don’t know if we are in your way or not. You have your eyes shut. You are blindly following this nothing president into oblivion while we are moving on to find greener pastures. Be careful on your journey though because its going to be a very lonely one.

Who’s your guy by the way for the ’08 election? You know that Bush isn’t eligible right?

I’d like to hear from some of our soldiers – How do feel about tomas’s expressed support for you?

Or, do you feel those of us who disagree with our President and who want this “immigration reform” bill to die are in some way not showing enough support for you and your mission?

Is it not patriotic to want our borders secured, our existing immigration laws enforced and immigration more effectively controlled?
