Bush simply fails in this.

It's been one day, Get your knees out from under your chin, and give this time to play out.

The dims were going to spring all out amnesty, in a couple of months. When the conservatives started hollering no way, here comes the race card. Bush has beaten them to the punch, offered no amnesty, and the dims cannot say he has, in fact they are positioned to argue he hasn't. Just watch and see how this plays out, Bush's political acumen makes the so called political prowess of clinton into a myth.

You are the one who keeps apologizing for each and every time Bush has screwed his base. Do you think the people on this site are angry because this is the only time it has happened? How much time will it take for you to understand the enormous damage he is doing to this country? I am glad it was you who compared Bush to Clinton. You seem to enjoy the political game playing involved. I am not playing a game and I don't give a damn about Bush's Stratergery. Bad IS bad and it doesn't matter one bit to me if the label on the can says Republican or Democrat. It still stinks and you aren't going to kill the sour taste of it by holding your nose and eating it anyway.

CFR.

It's the perfect model for the Bush Amnesty debacle, and yes, it's Phase I of his plan. This President hasn't the fealty to his oath of office to enforce the law against Illegals now, and he sure won't find it in three years if he gets the first part of his Amnesty through Congress.

You're cheering the stealing of yet another Democrat issue that Americans don't want. This has all the political acumen of CFR.

Less, actually. As bad as CFR is, it didn't strike the deep chord of public outrage that Bush's long-expected Amnesty has. It's a supremely self-destructive blunder by this President; it's bad policy, bad politics, bad for our party, and bad for the nation.

The President and Karl Rove have misoverestimated themselves.
