It's not as if we didn't know this was going to happen? A major part of Bush's election strategy was courting the hispanic vote. I don't recall Bush ever taking any kind of serious stand on illegal immigration. He is hardly breaking any promises that he made to conservatives here. He never did as far as I remember. No one should be surprised by this.
Bush was not my first choice for a GOP President but we made our choice back then and we got to live with it now. We all knew what we were getting when we voted for him the first time. No one should act shocked at what he has wrought thus far.
I know you have strong feelings over this issue, which you have stated well, but you're not throwing everything away over emotions. That's what the GOP needs to participate in shaping their agendas.
GWB learned from his father that broken campaign promises are to be avoided. Too bad he didn't pay closer attention; he would've realized that more people were disappointed in his father because he caved-in to the Democrats on a number of issues, one of which being the new taxes.
The fact that George W. Bush is breaking no campaign promises is sort of beside the point. If he does something so monumentally foolish as pressing this amnesty issue, he will alienate (no pun intended) more Republican voters than Rove is probably gambling on. With such a lame lineup of Democrat candidates, this is literally George Bush's election to lose. It looks like he's going to attempt to do just that, too.
