		<description>I think the real point of this is that it has taken them 40 months at least to process his application and they have not even tried to contact him in that time.

		<description>I agree with Ralph. La Shawn has my vote. I could then sleep better, never have to debate politics again because all would be right with America. 

And that isn&#039;t sarcasm. 

I as a centrist/conservative (conservatism is centrist) think that Bush is to the left of center and it amazes me to see so many people with a lack of perspective think that Bush is to the extreme right (in opposition to Kerry who is/was to the left). 

People, People, People. To the right would actually be cutting government and shrinking government and prioritizing the government&#039;s roles to be what the constitution defines is the GOVERNMENT&#039;S ROLES.

TRULY I would love to see that happen one day. 

A sense of realism is what keeps me centered and conservative as opposed to libertarian (libertarians think government can be cut by 80%).</description>

		<description>Frank,
If INS screw ups were isolated, you&#039;d be right.  This one just illustrates the problem as a whole.  Just like Sinclair wasn&#039;t fingering a single bad player when he wrote &lt;em&gt;The Jungle&lt;/em&gt;, he was taking on the whole industry.  Incidents need to be made public, or there will be no reform.</description>

		<description>Give these bureaucrats a break.

With all the applications the INS processes, they will make a few mistakes.


And the cost of this one ? Some hurt feelings?

		<description>I admire George Bush tremendously, but I wish he would veto just one bill...just one...if only to show he can say &#039;no&#039;.

I can see it now Andy, the LOS Treaty will soon be followed by the LOP Treaty (Law Of the Planets), the LOG Treaty (Law Of the Galaxy), and the LOU Treaty (Law Of the Universe) each to be governed, at least in part, by the more than 50 tyrant governed nations of the general assembly.</description>

		<description>Andy:  It sounds to me even more serious than that.  Just the fact that, should LOST be retified, the U.S. will seek the U.N.s permission to drill &gt;12 miles, or even, to explore outer space.

Think of that for a moment... What the U.N. is saying is, in essence, that THEY own international waters and, it would appear, all of outer space (better check with the Romulans first).  THEY would grant PERMISSION to any sovereign nation to explore the bounty of the sea.  Frightening.  Bush, Frist, and Rice ought to be working tooth and toenail to stop this.

Although Bush&#039;s plans for re-thinking of Social Security and the Federal Income Tax sounds promising, he will no doubt be hamered by the previous four years &quot;poet on payday&quot; spending and entitlement boosting.  I&#039;m with LaShawn.  He&#039;s better than Kerry, but we must now watch him like a hawk!</description>

		<description>PS. ref my earlier comment, Google &quot;LOST Treaty Lugar&quot;
&lt;strong&gt;United Nations&#039; Law of the Sea Treaty&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Summary: U.S. ratification of the United Nations&#039; Law of the Sea Treaty not only compromises America&#039;s sovereign ability to traverse and mine or drill the seas absent U.N. oversight, but also jeopardizes our nation&#039;s freedom to access the air and space above these waters...&lt;/em&gt;
WebSource: http://capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3696

This is what I don&#039;t get.  It does seem like Bush is getting soft or somehow kowtowed by the liberal writers and PC crowd.  When we know the UN is an abyss, here we are pushing to join yet another UN initiative, to what end?  

I can only hope it&#039;s another Texas Hold&#039;em bluff.</description>

		<description>&quot;My ire is raised not just because of the botched paperwork. George Bush is big government, the opposite of what Republicans are supposed to be. He&#039;s also too politically correct and concerned about what liberal journalists are writing about him for my taste. Mandate, my eye. &quot;

Wait a minute, this is a delay. The answer here is to have more staff to handle these issues, not less.</description>

		<description>I agree with you La Shawn.  

The other thing that&#039;s getting my goat is that after 20 years of lying dormant since Reagan nixed it, it appears that Condi will go ahead and, appease Sen Lugar (GOP), push to ratify the LOST treaty (Laws of the Sea).  

Essentially, the US would cede it&#039;s national right to do whatever in international waters, subject to a UN-like Open Seas authority.  

The downside is that they can then tell us that our navy is at sea illegally.  Furthermore, we would pay an international tax for the privilege of this august body to oversee our actions and for harvesting whatever from the sea.

The upside?  There is no upside.

Can you say taxation w/o representation?</description>

		<description>Are these the same immigration officials responsible for protecting our borders? Hope not.
Republicans control both houses and yet they are still afraid to represent the people who voted them in.They are more afraid of the eroding liberal news media.I think in three years Hilary might become our &quot;conservative&quot; president if the repubs sit on their hands.</description>
