The revelations of this story come as no surprise to your humble pundit. For quite some time, I have speculated and pondered that this country would embrace a candidate who whose convictions would reflect the concerns of most Americans, those concerns being National Security and its progeny, which encompasses the issue of illegal immigration.
The debates within our Senate pertaining to illegal immigration do nothing but illustrate what many have ascertained for quite some time, our Senators know how we feel on this issue, but have blatantly ignored our concerns. What has been glossed over by our “thorough” MSM is that Congress’ approval ratings are worse than President Bush’s. And, I assert that their utter disregard for our sentiments and directly correlates with such.
I am a proud conservative, and have voted Republican consistently for the Republican Party usually reflects my ideals and core tenets; however, in the ebbs and flows of politics, we have gone through a considerable quarter wherein I have been quite troubled by the party I have grown accustomed to embracing.
via WorldNetDaily,
A generic third-party presidential candidate emphasizing border security would tie a Democratic candidate and defeat a Republican, according to a new poll.
The Rasmussen Reports national survey asked respondents how they would vote if “a third party candidate ran in 2008 and promised to build a barrier along the Mexican border and make enforcement of immigration law his top priority.”
In that scenario, Democrats, with 31 percent, would be in a virtual tie with the third-party candidate, with 30 percent of the vote. The Republican candidate would be favored by only 21 percent.
Rasmussen comments that the result “probably reflects unhappiness with both parties on the immigration issue rather than a true opportunity for a third party.”
Historically, the pollster points out, issues that drive third-party candidates are co-opted by one of the major parties as they prove popular.
Rasmussen surveys have indicated most Americans favor a barrier along the border and enforcement of existing laws prior to other reforms.
Without the third-party candidate, according to the new poll, Democrats hold a 12-point advantage over Republicans on a generic 2008 presidential ballot, 44 percent to 32 percent.
Rasmussen said these figures likely are a reflection of unhappiness with the Bush administration rather than a commentary on prospective candidates from either party.
The latest poll found that with the immigration-issue candidate as an option, 36 percent of voters who identified as conservatives chose the Republican candidate while 35 percent picked the third-party option.
Among political moderates, 34 percent chose the Democrat while 32 percent preferred the third-party candidate.

[…] Frustration with our do-nothing government abounds. Publius Rendezvous states: “The debates within our Senate pertaining to illegal immigration do nothing but illustrate what many have ascertained for quite some time - our Senators know how we feel on this issue, but have blatantly ignored our concerns. What has been glossed over by our ‘thorough’ MSM is that Congress’ approval ratings are worse than President Bush’s. And, I assert that their utter disregard for our sentiments directly correlates with such.” AmboyTimes asks: “So what can a poor gringo do? How about ‘Nothing Mexican Day’? …Our leaders in government may be spineless, but we still have control over our own spending, and we can send a message to illegals and the Mexican government that we’re not going to take this lying down. There is no reason why this won’t work, and we can do it (si ,se puede) without protesting, breaking laws, race-baiting or even calling names.” BobGriggs.com has taken that concept even further and suggests ‘Nothing Mexican on Cinco de Mayo’. As seen on Fox and Friends: “This year, Cinco de Mayo will be a celebration of my hope that America will repulse the current invasion of illegal aliens. I will not patronize my favorite Mexican restaurant nor any other Hispanic-owned or “Mexican-themed” business on May 5 or the week thereafter. Neither will I employ the services of any company that I know to employ illegal aliens. If you feel as frustrated and as voiceless as I do, please join me in my mini-protest and support America’s sovereignty with your dollars on Friday, May 5.” The Independent Conservative respectfully disgarees: “I must say that while I feel his anger, given we live in the same county that is loaded with illegals. I think his response should be a little more measured than an all out boycott of all that has Mexican heritage. The protesters that favor illegal immigration are not representative of all Mexicans. While far too many are on their side, we should be careful not to respond to their anti-American/anti-White actions by treating all Mexicans as if they are in agreement with the activity of the Mexican protesters. So how does one separate those who are in league with condoning illegal activity, from those who do not? Simple, you ask. Just as I’ve shown via my own actions, I think all Americans should strive to do the same every day. I know it may not be doable for all purchases, but try as best you can to always only support businesses that do not employ illegals and do not take part in these protests. I think instead of boycotting a Mexican restaurant on Cinco de Mayo, that it would have a far greater impact if Americans walked into a Mexican restaurant, asked to speak to the owner and asked ‘were you open on May 1?’ If they say no, then leave. Also ask ‘do you employ illegals?’ If they say yes, then leave. That will show them you are serious about taking your money elsewhere. And alternatively, you might find a business owned by people who have Mexican heritage, but wish to be 100% American and respect our laws.” […]
