The Reagan revolution was stalled initially by a hostile Congress and didn't kick in until he got help or the very real threat of help. Similarly if we get rid of Obama but don't sweep in significant assistance in the House and retake the Senate in a big way - we still might have a weak President who needs to negotiate everything to please a handful of Democrat (Socialist, Liberal, Progressive, whatever) Senators. <br /><br />If you get President Conservative, but he doesn't have fairly long coat tails, it might be a hollow victory. Similarly if you get a President Romney, but he has a conservative Congress, he'll find it easier to stay to the right of center. I'm not pushing Romney, I'm just saying that the Founding Fathers expected their to be compromise, the Constitution virtually requires it. But the kind of compromise you want in 2013 is Boehner having to kow-tow to an Allen West and not a Nancy Pelosi to get enough votes. Similiarly in the Senate, you want Leader McConnell working to convince Jim DeMint not Harry Reid. <br /><br />The make up of the electorate at the polls in 2012 will determine that. If angry Conservatives stay home for some foolish anti-Romney pledge then they (and not the enemy) will doom the Romney administration to failure. Likewise Candidate Conservative - if the left is successful in spreading fear such that our natural allies (conservative independents) stay home, will still face Congressional gridlock.Common Snsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936033792841894514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-37245721618542054702011-12-19T09:38:23.258-05:002011-12-19T09:38:23.258-05:00CS,

We need a landslide, but if all we have after it is a big mess, we aren't doing ourselves any favors. We need to have the best guy for the job in place at the end of the landslide. Romney is not it. Romney will be different than Obama, but he won't be better. That will leave an opening for Democrats in 2016. We need a guy who will fix shit so well that we never vote for a Democrat again. We probably don't have a guy like that, but we have at least three that are head and shoulders above Romney in Gingrich, Perry and Santorum.Tenth Generation Patriothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191408658143390459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-82505047946021995742011-12-19T09:28:36.046-05:002011-12-19T09:28:36.046-05:00Johnny,

The Mexican-American homeowners who were born here were harboring about 12 of them in their house.<br />They spoke English...until the cops showed up to drug raid the house then, suddenly nobody could even remember english or, anything else for that matter.<br />I was told by a cop...who is of Mexican decent that illegals are harbored for 2 reasons.<br />Racial reasons being the first.<br />And, by American Mexicans who exploit the illegals for some "undocumented" money to stay in their homes..."safehouses".<br /><br />See a Mexican flag flying in front of a house 1000 miles away from the border?<br /><br />It's a tell-tale sign that an illegal has nothing to fear when he needs information, shelter or, leads to a place where he won't get caught.<br />I think "insurrection" may be the proper term for that.-Sepphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187463448901564093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-48361392371897824562011-12-14T11:04:51.048-05:002011-12-14T11:04:51.048-05:00Buck,

As I laid out in a comment above we acted locally to make substantive changes that effected the illegal population and improved our quality of life. We need the kind of leadership in Washington that will stop punishing States for making the changes that you mention or better yet create a National program to apply increasing pressure on the illegal population. <br /><br />All of the measures you list (I would add make English the official language of government) are required and would lead a substantial number of the illegal underground to self-deport (the very best solution). <br /><br />As for trust - I don't trust any of them totally which is why we need to stop our squabbling as soon as possible, unite behind one candidate, and create the kind of wave election that will set up a new Reagan-like Revolution in the country. If the next Republican President sweeps in with a House and Senate that matches his conservative credentials then we have a better chance of keeping our next President on the straight and narrow. <br /><br />In my personal opinion several of our candidates can do that though I think that Perry is the best of the crop.Common Snsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936033792841894514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-22243092704771630252011-12-14T10:52:42.698-05:002011-12-14T10:52:42.698-05:00-Sepp,

We were vilified by neighboring "Blue" (Democrat, Socialist, Liberal, Progressive, whatever) counties. But it was funny that the following year, enrollment in "English as a Second Language" programs in our schools dropped dramatically while it ramped up by an identical number in the schools of our liberal neighbor to the North. <br /><br />As an aside, over crowding housing complaints virtually evaporated, crime figures in all categories dropped by double digits, and traffic accidents plunged as well. A University of Virginia study pointed to the statute as the only plausible change in the county that created a substantial rise in quality of life. <br /><br />What you say is true - though if we don't act Nationally, we will just be pushing the problem around. Our gains are fragile and the population effected only moved a few miles.Common Snsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936033792841894514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-35280893177029442342011-12-14T10:23:12.028-05:002011-12-14T10:23:12.028-05:00I have a solution for Texas' illegal immigrant...I have a solution for Texas' illegal immigrant solution.
