Remove Bad Senators, Regardless Of Party

"A group of 43 influential opinion leaders – including Alan Keyes, Phyllis Schlafly, David Horowitz and Swiftboat activist John O'Neill – have signed a declaration pledging to withhold support for any candidate, Democrat or Republican, who votes for legislation providing "amnesty" or a guest-worker program for illegal aliens."

"Any amnesty would move America toward a future like France, which is staggering under the burden of 'guest' workers who never went home," states the declaration. "

I deplore the idea of amnesty for illegal aliens but if my choice was an otherwise good Republican who voted for amnesty vs a good Democrat who voted the party line, I would have to vote for the Republican.

Now, the thing to do is find a strong primary challenger who can beat the incumbent and also win the general election.

Your point is well taken, Whit, but history says it simply doesn't work. None are stepping up that are capable.

My fear is that the country really has to suffer more before people begin to "get it".

God help us then.

As far as the issue of the proposed immigration reform, I would rather see nothing happen. The laws we have on the books are better than the garbage proposed by the House and Senate.

Just secure the border and enforce the laws we already have.
