Savage: Impeach Bush over immigration plan

Savage created the phrase "compassionate conservative" in 1994, a term picked up by Bush during his presidential campaign – a campaign supported by Savage.

A lie. Savage admitted on the air that someone else may have come up with the phrase first, but he was really the creator because he popularized the phrase.

Now, I do understand why Savage feels the way he does. There are times that I feel betrayed by my governments intentional disregard of securing our borders. At times I believe that Bush is just pandering for votes, but this scenario presents itself:

Put together an "amnesty" (and this is essentially what this program is) and you are saying to Mexico: "Hey, come on down! You want to come here legally? Great! No problem! In order to be here, from now on, you must follow these procedures...."

Once this game is established, you can then fence off and mine the border.

The Administration can then claim to have solved both an immigration problem and a terrorist problem. Anyone killed by coming here illegally is then either a terrorist or a criminal. Why else would anyone try to sneak in if they can be here legally with "Guest Worker" status?

I'm not sure whether I'm being facetious....

I thought Impeach Bush was extreme.

...This is the worst betrayal of our country in my lifetime," said Savage,...

Well, Clinton's sale of hi-tech weaponry to China, who also plans to destroy us, is the worst. But bending over for Vincente is pretty close. The destruction of our borders is the end of our nation, whether the pom pom girls can see it or not.

While I disagree strongly with the immigration proposal, I think Savage is completely off base. There are certainly ways to address the problem short of impeaching the President. If anything, Savage is playing into the rabid left-wingers' (read Wesley Crusher Clark and Michael Cartman Moore) hands.

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[Uncle Miltie]

Jeez. You can vehemently disagree with the policy without calling for impeachment.

When was the last time Michael Savage had a good day? I think some chemical reaction is permanently awry with the guy.

[NYC Republican]

Exactly! Savage is a moron.

Good insight on your reply.
I tend to agree.

I was listening to his show last night and couldn't beleive what I was hearing.

Same here. He's through in my book. All these radio hosts do is shamelessly peddle their books (Hannity included). I'm tired of them all.

Stupid Savage. It's a Plan that will be tied up for years in Congress. If I were any more cynical, I'd suggest Bush wants to register illegal aliens so we can ship them back in box cars. I'm suprised dems havn't accused Bush of this nazi final solution.

"Read my lips. No new taxes."

[Mr. K]

Hey guy! You have been pretty active the last few days - or maybe I just started to notice

[Axiom Nine]

It's just a proposal, and he isn't proposing amnesty..

At least this way we can monitor (at least to the extent of the INS's sub-par abilities) and TAX them.

[NYC Republican]

I was listening to his show last night and couldn't beleive what I was hearing.

I started another thread last night, venting about this moron... Not only was he criticizing Bush on this, he was also spewing out the liberal lies, like saying tax cuts favor only the rich, etc. He's becomee a DISGRACE. Thank God we have Laura Ingraham on in NYC at the same time, she's wonderful.

While I agree with the dictum that Impeachable offenses are whatever Congress says they are, and while I also believe that President Bush's Amnesty/"not an Amnesty" is an incredible blunder, both for party and country, Savage is being a counterproductive idiot to say that Bush should be impeached for this.

President Bush's Amnesty should be defeated the old fashioned ways:
by moral suasion and smart counter-politics..

[ImpotentRage]

I have wondered the same thing. When I voted for Bush I truly thought I was voting for a president who would represent AMERICA. Never again!

[NYC Republican]

No Bush in 2004.

Great- another single issue voter. I suppose Clark or Dean would be better?

[The Mayor]

All these radio hosts do is shamelessly peddle their books (Hannity included). I'm tired of them all.

I couldn't agree more, Laura Ingram is one of the worst. Everyone of them has a book, I should write a book, well that wouldn't do any good, I couldn't promote it.

[Dead Corpse]

Call a spade a spade. Just because you don't like someone calling it a shovel, instead of a rake, is in no way extreme.

The negatives against Bush are piling up against the positives. An amnesty program, even if Bush felt there were "Constitutional questions", WOULD get passed in Congress. Just like McCain-Feingold and the Medicare give-away and the Farm Bill and the African Aids package and only the Gods know what else.

Tancredo will be my write-in candidate if nothing else.

Impeach doesn't mean they are removed from office. I think a lot of us question the ties between Bush and Fox and why Fox seems to have so much power here. He's nothing but a foreign leader but he can demand we change our laws --- and what other foreign leader is in that position?

[TheGunny]

Savage and the like wont be happy until we have interlocking fields of fire and 500,000 troops on the border! Earth to Mike!
