The Border Party

The government is tipping off Mexico on Minutemen activity?!?

I remember voting in the Clinton vs. Dole campaign. I specifically remember voting against both of them. Why? Because the Republican Party had demonstrated contempt for the value of life and put forth a worthless insider candidate who was soft on fighting abortion and about as charismatic as a floating frog terd. I voted for a 3rd party with a candidate whose vice president had "Pro-Life" as his official middle name! What a beautiful way ito protest my party and their cowardice.

Time to posse up again? "Minuteman members said any contact between the Border Patrol and Mexican officials negates the group's effectiveness and could endanger the lives of its members."
Big deal. Let the Coyotes kill them! They are obviously racists, bigots, hatemongers, Satanists, rapists, kitten killers, etc. simply because they want to help keep the LAW. The Republican Party is obviously not interested in keeping the laws that are already on the books in regards to illegal immigration. Perhaps it is time for a protest party.

I recommend the "Border Party." One platform is all they need, and that is to stop illegal immigration into the United States! No need to talk about taxes. No need to deal with oil policy. No reason to speak about judicial nominations. Just stop the illegal immigration.
When the token republicrat nominee gets his/her ceremonial nod to run for president, it will be VERY easy for them to count the numbers of voters who voted for this third party(costing them the presidency) and to translate that into the number of voters, like myself, tired of their ineptitude in this area. Then, in time, they might actually DO something about this issue in order to possibly win in the future. Call it" tough voting love."

There are great 3rd parties out there, like the Constitution Party http://www.constitution-party.net/ or the Reform Party http://www.americafirstparty.org/ (aside for their protectionist views) or any of the splinter groups remaining from insane Ross Perot, like the Independence Party http://www.mnip.org/, or the American Reform Party http://www.americanreform.org/. There are tons of insane and hopeless parties to throw away your protest vote.

I recommend letting the Republicrats know that if they continue to pursue this insane policy of letting any and all pass through the southern (and all other) borders, we will have no problem showing them what issues they missed the boat on by tossing away our votes to the Border Party, if and when it is created. Yes, we will lose the battle this election, but there is a long war to keep in mind. Let them use your vote now, they have no need to change.

Am I off base on this approach? http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pnoonan/?id=110008359 Me and Peggy Noonan, baby! some quotes: "Power is distancing.
When you've been in Congress for a while, or the White House for a while, you both forget too many things and learn too many things.
You forget why they sent you. You forget it's not that you're charming and wonderful. You forget it's not you. You become immersed in a Washington conversation, a political conversation, that is, by definition, unlike the normal human conversation back home. To survive and thrive, national politicians have to speak two languages, Here and Home. Actually it's more than two languages, it's two cultures. It's hard to straddle cultures. . . But faith in political action has been damaged the past few years, not by outside forces but by the two major political parties themselves.
If you are a normal person with the normal amount of political awareness, you might see it this way:
The Republicans talk about cutting spending, but they increase it--a lot. They stand for making government smaller, but they keep making it bigger. They say they're concerned about our borders, but they're not securing them. And they seem to think we're slobs for worrying. Republicans used to be sober and tough about foreign policy, but now they're sort of romantic and full of emotionalism. They talk about cutting taxes, and they have, but the cuts are provisional, temporary. Beyond that, there's something creepy about increasing spending so much and not paying the price right away but instead rolling it over and on to our kids, and their kids. So, the normal voter might think, maybe the Democrats. But Democrats are big spenders, Democrats are big government, Democrats will roll the cost onto our kids, and on foreign affairs they're--what? Cynical? Confused? In a constant daily cringe about how their own base will portray them? All of the above.
Where does such a voter go, and what does such a voter do?" Her elegant conclusion: "One gets the impression party leaders, deep in their hearts, believe the base is . . . base. Unsophisticated. Primitive. Obsessed with its little issues. They're trying to educate the base. But if history is a guide, the base is about to teach them a lesson instead."

I agree. Let's kick them out in style!
