When the Republicans are polled by their own and not the AILA the results are very different.

REally--the ONLY one of those questions that you could TELL was answered by diehards was number 7! The rest of them were pretty astounding, huh?? Do you think they got the message?? NO because of the way they answered number 7!

When I filled it out I said that the Republicans had some dissidents that were ding well onthe issue but that the party leadership is not. I hope the leadership gets the message.

Well, in my opinion, NONE of them gets the message except for Tancredo and he is a persona non grata in Washington. And, if getting the message means just spouting rhetoric that they think we WANT to hear, I will just plug my ears. I just don't think they will be able to pull off a sudden change of position when, all along, they have been FOR open borders, FOR amnesty and FOR appeasing all of those Hispanic voters--legal or ILLEGAL.

New blood. That's what the country needs.

Those who were polled and the poll itself should have taken it a step farther and answered the question "Do you think the President should be impeached for not honoring his oath?"

I mean its like they all don't agree with what's going on, but will be damned if they're going to stand up and speak--Protect the almighty party, no matter how corrupt it is!!

The Party AND the President. Everything else be damned.
