This does little to instill my faith in the future of this country, quite the opposite actually.

If a Democrat proposed this, Jim would have to upgrade the servers and bandwidth on FR just to contain the amount of activism and commentary on the issue. Bush proposes it and we'll hear virtual crickets around here. Un-freaking-believable!!!

Matching willing liars to willing scumbags. Our country goes down the toilet in the meantime. Thanks President Bush.

Bush is stabbing his conservative base in the back. What is he smoking?

Didn't you get the memo? It's not about principle. It's about winning AT ALL COSTS. Go team!

Not me pal... This is insane.

A few million new payee's into the SS system who won't be eligable to draw for a while. What a way to prop up Social Security for a while and get more $$ into DC to plug the deficit (or to spend on MORE social programs).
Bush is so confident in a November win that he pulls this crap. This is a nightmare. And it's going to backfire.
It isn't for latino votes. If for businesses and and Fox.

And when this is all said and done, the Fed Guv STILL won't do ANYTHING to stop the continued flow of illegals. We'll have the SAME worsening problem of illegals AND a 8 million new citizens.

Yup.
Appears you're absolutely correct.

Add this latest developement to CFR, the medicare disaster, the ED Dept debacle and the administration's *peculiar* inability to get its judicial nominations through & I'm left simply speechless.

...& that ain't easy to do.
