My stance is ultra conservative. If you guys haven't heard Bush is pushing for illegal immigrant Mexicans to acquire drivers licenses and to get temporary work permits. Bush is man of vision ... understands the future ... not just the today.
STLPilot, I've been trying decide if you're a conservative with a liberal streak, or a liberal who has wrapped himself in the flag.

Woops, whatever you think about politics, reverse it.
Bush is about as conservative as you can get.

You said this:

BTW, I can think of many things that Bush isn't conservative on.

I don't know what this whole bush topic is about but as for the being american citizens in order to compete on the USA team......I think about this: What sense does it make that someone can live in the USA and train in the USA and compete on our teams and train in our facilities and on our equipment and live on our money and learn from our trainers and blah blah blah.......but will compete in the olympics for some other country when they have lived thier whole lives here and don't even return to the country in which they were born before or even after the olympic games? If someone were born in the US but were a citizen else where and trained and all that, even if they were the best and would garantee the USA a win, I don't think he should compete for the USA because he doesn't live or train in the USA.
So should it not be the same in this situation? Why would we allow others all the advantages of our training and so forth here and then make them compete elsewhere?
I have thought about the fact that yes, if there are no advantages to being an american citizen then why become one.....but that is regarding things like voting and contributing to this or any other countries future and not regarding getting to play some games.
Fact is I am so conservative I make Bush look liberal (an exageration but based in truth) so one would thing I would say that you must be a citizen but I also have a hard time understanding why so many are allowed to benefit from a country without giving back to that country. It is a complicated issue.
One more example.....golf. There are numerous golfers that play and live in the USA but when the US competes against the counties in Europe these same people play for the European countries and not the USA.
Anyways, its easy for me to see both sides and fact is I am not fully convinced that my thought process regarding this matter is 100% the best......but these are things to consider.
