From the Corner:
This thing about our govt. colluding with Narcistan — sorry, I mean Mexico — to keep the flow of illegal immigrants coming, is the last straw. Either our govt. is criminally incompetent, or else it is maliciously hostile to ordinary American citizens. Or both.I kept my mouth pretty well shut when the splendid whack-'em'upside-the-head assault on Iraq turned into a ludicrous and apologetic "nation-building" exercise. I bellyached in a restrained fashion at the Harriet Miers farce. I kept my grumbling over Medicaid, the budget bloat, and border security at a decently low volume. This one, though, I can't take.
I can't think of a single thing to say in favor of the national Republican party, its senators, representatives, governors , and administration. I can't think of a single reason why, right now, I should vote for any of them.
I could never vote for the liberal mob; but if a conservative third party comes up between now and 2008, they'll have my full attention — likely my money and my vote, too. We are on the last page of Animal Farm here; I can no longer tell the men from the pigs. (Link.)
Hard to argue with. Congressional Republicans deserve to get their collective asses kicked this November. The alternative -- Pelosi, Reid and co. -- is nausea-inducing and virtually guaranteed to do no better, but they're not currently in power and their opponents are giving them everything they need to reclaim it!
Meanwhile, La Shawn Barber ponders a Bush impeachment over the top paragraph from above:
I believe George Bush's failure to enforce immigration law and stop the foreign invasion, which he has the power and authority to do, warrants impeachment. Because of Bush, illegal invaders are emboldened, demanding that which they have no legal right to obtain.Posted by Felix at May 10, 2006 09:37 PM | TrackBack
I agree that they need to get their buts kicked.....amen!

Better late than never.
Bush's failure to enforce immigration law and stop the foreign invasion...warrants impeachment.
Not what I'd impeach him for, but I'll take it.
Posted by: jason at May 11, 2006 10:13 AMNow I'm pig-biting mad, as Al Mascitti would say. This is just as wrong as the Mexican govt. printing instructional pamphlets for the border crossers. Too bad Congress is more likely to fall all over themselves about the NSA tracking phone calls, which only makes me uneasy. (My litmus test on that program is whether a President Clinton would abuse it, and I conclude in the affirmative.) Are these bozos simply so worried about losing minority votes that they won't do anything about the illegals problem? Is there a secret codicil to NAFTA that covers the trade of illegal labor? I thought the recent big raids were a good start, but this crap cancels it out.

Grex,
I knew you had it in you. Welcome to reality. When Bush assumes extra-constitutional powers, he does so for every future president.
I'm glad a bit of reason is starting to break through the hero worship.
