Sen. Harry Reid, normally a Bush critic, had praise for the president after Tuesday's meeting.
One of those "A picture is worth a thousand words" moments.
How about seeking commonground with the people your higness, the same goes for the rest of the DC nobility.
Anyone willing to admit it knows this is the topic of the day and EVERYONE is talking about it. Even the United States Senate is taking money AWAY from the Iraq War to fight this problem. I think that clearly shows it is a BIG DEAL!
However, any deal that Ted K. is for, I am against.
With no thought of securing the borders. Bah!

Bush has been over on the dark side for a while now.
What part of ILLEGAL does Washington not understand?
To quote Rasmussen, "Before the immigration debate exploded on the national scene, Americans were evenly divided as to which political party they trusted more on the issue. After the earliest rounds of the debate, the GOP gained ground and were favored by a 37% to 31% margin.
Since then, Democrats have focused more attention on the enforcement side of the debate. DNC Chairman Howard Dean even stated that enforcement of the border is his party's top priority. As a result, Democrats appear to have won round two of the debate among the general public--42% now trust Dean's party more on this issue while 35% trust the GOP."
Time to call for a Peaceful Revolution.

However he has not consulted the citizens, at least not the legal ones.
If Ted the Swimmer and Reid approve of Bush's actions, we KNOW we have a problem. The last time Dems approved of something Bush did, we got Harriet Miers.
By the way, this was a SPECIAL meeting. As noted on an earlier post today, certain Senators - all Republicans - were NOT invited. Senators who disagreed with Bush's open door policy for illegal invaders were kept out.
Obviously, none of the Dems would disagree - besides, they're toobusy signing up illegals to vote in 2006 so they can impeach Bush.
Does any of this amke sense??
I don't think so.
"Moderate" "Republicans" are actually getting praises from "moderate" democRats.
THE UNION IS SAVED!
Bend over everyone, all you "extremist" "fringers" out there, and get ready to take another one "for the team".
It's time to face facts. This guy just doesn't get it!
U.S. territory is now "common ground" for all immigrants, legal and illegal...
Seeking common ground? Who are they kidding here, they've had it all along. It's always been amnesty for them and something they've agreed on from the beginning.
BOHICA!
I guess so from reid's perspective. Bush is giving away the farm.
They also discussed the withdrawl of troops from Iraq.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi...Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid...get used to it, folks. Sadly, it's an inevitability.
And a move that's going to cost him dearly in historical hindsight and with his base. Does the word "lead" ever pop into the president's mind? I'm really starting to think that his "leading" us into Iraq was less out of a sense of resolve and doing what's right and more out of a sense of realizing that it would be popular.
"It is important that we reform a system that is not working. It's important that we uphold the values of the United States of America. It's important that we treat people with dignity," the president said. "I strongly believe that we have a chance to get an immigration bill that is comprehensive in nature to my desk before the end of this year."
How about treating existing Americans with some damn dignity? For a change!
And though the president maintained his opposition to what he called "automatic amnesty" for illegal immigrants already in the country, he also expressed support for "a bill that says somebody who's working here on a legal basis has the right to get in line to become a citizen."
Does he truly believe that most Americans are this stupid?
Apparently so.
