I'm an FR Bush Bot. Ended up joining a couple years ago because I needed a refuge from the Bush bashing in the MSM.
Now I find myself fighting the Bush bashing here.
How the world does go round...
Nice try at deflection when the real issue is immigration.
To the Democrats' horror, this fall's elections will turn on illegal immigration.
WE are America's premier online conservative group.
Whatever good Bush may have accomplished has been completed negated by his sell out of the American people on the issue of illegal immigration. He is putting their rights before the rights of American citizens. (Can I pick which years taxes I'll pay?) My father, an 85 yr old WWII vet, said that Bush may as well have delcared that all of the Greatest Generation's sacrifices were made in vain.
"Republicans can stave off disaster if they show -- not just say -- they're for real. Passing the tax cut extensions was vital. Next week they have two chances to shine (or bomb): the Federal Marriage Protection Amendment vote this Wednesday, and permanent Death Tax repeal on Thursday. Quickly confirming the President's judges is vital too, and vital to talk about, a lot. Standing strong -- win or lose (but it needs to be win) -- will show conservatives who they are."
These diversions, and that's exactly what they are, won't matter in the least to me. If at Bush's insistence anything remotely similar to S2611 gets passed, this country is going to have much more to worry about than judges, tax repeals and who the heck is marrying whom.
