Gathering steam
Yep, Fred’s my guy alright:
I think its time for a little plain talk to the leaders of Mexico. Something like:
Hey guys, you’re our friends and neighbors and we love you but it’s time you had a little dose of reality. A sovereign nation loses that status if it cannot secure its own borders and we are going to do whatever is necessary to do so, although our policies won’t be as harsh as yours are along your southern border. And criticizing the U.S. for alternately doing too much and too little to stop your illegal activities is not going to set too well with Americans of good will who are trying to figure a way out of the mess that your and our open borders policy has already created.
My friends, it’s also time for a little introspection. Since we all agree that improving Mexico’s economy will help with the illegal-immigration problem, you might want to consider your own left-of-center policies. For example, nationalized industries are not known for enhancing economic growth. Just a thought. But here’s something even more to the point that you might want to think about: What does it say about the leadership of a country when that country’s economy and politics are dependent upon the exportation of its own citizens?
Sure kicks the crap out of that “I’ll work hard to please my Mexican constituents” bushwa RINO George was inanely spouting from south of the “border” last week.
Run, Fred. Run.
Update! John Fund speaks with the man behind the movement. He’s the Juggernaut, bitch!

Run, Fred. Run!
I'll settle for a candidate who's serious about the WoT and immigration. That Thompson is better in other areas, too, (re pro-gun) is just icing on the cake.
Run, Fred. Please?
He's not perfect. I'm not going to swoon. But I will say he would be the best candidate for conservative values and for electability if he declared today, IMNAAHO.
I still say it's way too early to be bothered much about this stuff; where I am now, it's currently 74 degrees and lovely out. There are beers to be quaffed, songs to be sung, and motorcycle rides to be taken before we get bogged down in election crap.
But see, that's just it: Fred seems to know that too. And if you think that sensible, ordinary Americans don't pick up on that, and admire it...well, you're probably among those who thought Dukakis had a prayer, or Mondale/Ferraro, too. And you're just as wrong now as you were then.
Actually, given the choice and the smoking crater that's going to be the veep's office after the Dems get done with Cheney, I'd just as soon vote for Mariska Hargitay as veep. They say that you vote for pres/veep based in part on who you'd like to see on your TV set every night. Well, especially in light of her bloodlines, Mariska would work for me...
