The revolt showed that Bush's strength in Congress has significantly eroded as he begins his sixth year as president. In effect, his Republican base is no longer secure.
I worry about it, too.
You can blame Copngress, but only person has the bully pulpit and chooses not to use. I have never understood why this administration is so adamant that the media should be the ones to lead the countries thoughts on every issue. I never thouight the Iraq War was a failure, but the WH's PR about the War was a failure. He never wants to present the facts that would portray his decisions in a good light. It's almost masochistic. Karl Rove is probably the dumbest policitcal adviser in history.
I posted on another thread..that President Bush needs to take Karen Hughes from whatever she is doing now, bring her back and put her in charge of public relations..
And hire Torie Clark back...and use her for spokesperson for all of the military aspects of his agenda.
Those two women would definitely put Dan Bartlett and Scott McClellan to shame.
If that's true, Fred Barnes just dropped off my radar. He was a Jack Germond character to me prior to that--I might have disagreed politically with the guy, but I respected his insight. F him. I won't be called racist for wanting all immigration to the U.S. to be legal, not criminal border-hopping, and I'll be writing Fox about it.
Bush is (sorry) idiot.
They're running on fumes now, and their inability to press on with their agenda will hurt come November.
"Bush's attitude about pulling the world up with the "cash" of the United States and doing so with monstrous increases in the national debt ... is not a good road to be on now."
That's the road built with our sweaty tax dollars and he is pissing on us. I don't respect him anymore.

Full-blown ally - OK, prove it. How many ships, how many men, what are they doing to push democracy in Iraq? What is "full-blown" anyhow? My guess is not much past money, secrets and jailing. Not much else. Oh yeah, they host various eliets in our government and military. And Arabs know how to treat a guest. If I'm wrong here, will someone please set me straight... I have no clue about "full-blown"?
I was surprised
His voice was harsh and attitude elitist when he spoke of any opposing illegal aliens and "guest worker" programs - which is just another rerun of the 80s "amnesty"
That sure worked out great
If politicians and media justify and approve of illegal aliens then we should simply claim equal treatment and selectively start ignoring federal and state and city income taxes
Tell the hospital you are from Mexico City and refuse to provide any more information in a sad spanish accent
Ask your pols which laws you can flaunt, ignore, break
Better still get an ID and birth certificate from Mexico
That is your key to the future
Swim ashore and claim you are escaping from Castro......
Extra points!
Free legal help from idiotic liberals
Let the nutty lefties support another "exploited immigrant"! You!
Your old spanish class may come in handy
It's fairly easy to buy a big Caddy or Lincoln SUV if you declare minimum income for 2-5 IDs and collect an Earned Income Credit Refund from the IRS while your wife works off the books and collects welfare and food stamps using a SS ID purchased from those who sell hundreds of thousands of them
Don't let anyone tell you illegal aliens cannot get public housing subsidies and collect welfare - even SSI on 2-5 kids as "learning disabled"
Can you imagine if we printed and distributed manuals on how to invade and rip of Mexico and Canada?
The government and our judges are encouraging Americans to break the law by example - those who lose respect for the law will ignore and exploit the laws and "rights" of criminal invaders
Wow...is this ever a depressing thread.
There you have it- if you want the laws enforced, you're an 'immigrant-basher' in Barnes' view. It's no wonder the Beltway crowd has alienated the grassroots.
I missed Fred saying that. His views usually seem pretty reasonable to me.

This is so sad. I usually like Fred but he is clueless. El Presidente hasn't misjudged a thing. He is a OBL and is doing the job of providing cheap, illegal labor to businesses. And damn anyone that thinks this is harming the American worker, or our sovereignty or providing a wide open shot for terrorist orgs. to bring a nuke over the border. You are just a bunch of xenophobic racist vigilantes who don't get the "big picture."
Thank you Oh wise Jorge Bush, someone pass the chapstick.
Fred Barnes, out of touch with the real world. What a surprise! /sarcasm

Bush made one strategic error in 2005, guessing wrongly that the country was adult"
Yes ladies and gentlemen, Barnes is superior to all of us.
