Immigration: The War Dividing The GOP
Not since the Harriet Miers Supreme Court nomination have Republican bloggers been as hostile to President Bush as they are now over immigration.
This issue, like the Iraq war with liberal leaders and their netroots upstarts, is the one that divides the activists from the party's establishment -- and may be the one that creates an unpassable chasm between the two.
From CNN:
Different conservative blogs have different pet issues -- government transparency, federal judges, Fred Thompson, to name a few.But no issue in recent memory has united conservative bloggers like the debate over immigration. Their frustration has culminated in a full-scale revolt against the Bush administration and a Senate bill that activists say does little to solve the country's border security problems. ...
It's increasingly clear from Web postings and interviews with top conservative bloggers that the immigration bill has done serious damage to the president's credibility among the conservative netroots, the grassroots bloggers on the Web. ...
Blogs and anti-immigration organizations used the Web to tap into the growing discontent over the immigration bill, using the Internet to organize phone and fax campaigns to urge senators to vote against the bill. It was a plugged-in show of force that would have been beyond comprehension a decade ago.

Why would anyone even consider negotiating with anyone that never gets around to keeping their word on any of the immigration laws of the past?
What would be the point?
This is like the people that got caught by their own rules while playing games as children. Every time they would get caught in one of their old rules they would start in on a big speech for a new rule. They never would pay up on being caught on the old rule.
No one plays with them long.
Just what are we still doing dealing with these liars?
