"And yuo would do this even if the election were a toss-up where people who think as you could throw the election to Howard Dean? You seriously think that would be better? The Democrats would be laughing all the way to the White House.
Personally I would rather not cut off my nose to spite my face."
Then tell me why is Bush doing this - few if any conservatives are supporting his proposal. In fact most of middle America is against it as well. Bush should know that this will cost him votes. But I think he believes that liberals, moderates and hispanics will vote for him because of this - he is wrong dead wrong - they will not vote for him and will wonder why a democrat got elected when things were seemingly so good. Do I want a democrat as president, no but I think we already have one in office. At least with a republican congress their might be less of our rights being given so freely away.
He's moving left to force Dean even father left.
Hah--Dean should try speaking in front of union membership and say, "American jobs for American taxpayers and citizens" and listen to the applause.
This is an issue that conservatives and unions could unite on.
America is at war and its not illegals who defend us--they are citizens and legal resident aliens in uniform.
If Bush isn't loyal to them, why should they be loyal to BUsh?
