She says no, we were already investigating. SSN is prohibited by law from passing that information to Homeland Security!

The system is INTENDED to protect Robber Baron employers!

It's been that way for years.

I'm sure "Sheriff Joe" could be persuaded to erect a few more tents in the Arizona desert to house the criminal aliens

Federal detention standards (laws) would not allow it.

Clinton's worst year was 2849. All of Bush's years do not add up to the worst Clinton year.

Sad!

Protesters are gathering to rally against a new round of raids on undocumented immigrants.

Dear Feds: Want to make me think that the feds are starting to do something about illegals? Raid this.

>sand boogie on down to the polling stations.<

LOL! What polling stations? In Washington State we have VOTE BY MAIL, and ballot counting by programmed computer!

I hadn't though of the Carl Rove angle. Interesting.

Looks like I wasn't the only one to sniff that wind. Check out Item 1 in the list in the article atop this thread:

Can Josh Bolten Rescue the Bush Presidency?

In fact (as I jumped over to the original article while typing this post), skip the thread proper -- it's mainly a bunch of rah-rah/yay-team! noise, and worse than that, the "excerpting" of the article is more along the lines of editing the article. Read the actual article here -- Time Magazine: Can Josh Bolten Rescue the Bush Presidency?

By reading the original, you'll get the unedited "five points" (and again, focus on Point #1), as well as the rest of the article.

The edited version of the first point truncates more than half the text, including this enlightening comment from an insider: "Think of the visuals."

Yeah, think of 'em. All show, no go. Pure theater. Some things never change. As usual, the question boils down to, "Well, what do I have to tell you to convince you I'm sincere?" -- with the subtext being the unspoken, ("...because I'm really willing to say whatever it takes!")

You'll also get this key tidbit from the prelude to "the list", edited-out in the thread copy: "[T]he mission is just to hold on to control of Congress by playing to the base."

It's very thought-provoking, seems like they did their homework. They paint a very credible "long knives" scenario being played out.

Aside: I never realized that Rove was younger than me. Suddenly I don't feel so old...

Oh, no, you're just wrong. The administration is finally going to start enforcing the law after twenty years of neglecting it.

/sarcasm

The Bush Administration is beginning to remind me of the alcoholic fathers I used to see as a kid that would sit, drunk in their easy chairs, clutching a beer, and yelling (over and over and over) at the kids "If you do that one more time I'm going to spank your ass. Now I mean it this time (sip, sip)".

I read the article you linked and if it's accurate{Time isn't my favorite news source} it's not going to work. BTW Josh Bolten same as other Bush picks, Longtime Family/Poppy connections. The Bush legacy will include he never met a family friend he couldn't hire. Bush doesn't need a choreographer he needs to do 180's on much of his policy. New variants of the same of song and dance will not help him.
