Ok I give up, have your Dean's or Clarks running this country. Have a 7-2 liberal Scotus. Get your taxes up to 50% where they want them, so they can use the money for socialized medicine. Last but not least watch them gut the military and throw in with the U.N.

You gave up when you tried to put lipstick on the pig of Amnesty.

It's President Bush, not me, who's flirting with the disasters above. He's spitting in the eyes of a lot of people who voted for him in 2000, and that's going to cost GOP votes. It's a policy and political debacle.

Congress needs to save this President from his own blunder.

With a little luck, the Democrats will be stupid enough to help us out in that regard, as was the case when President Bush tried to sneak an extension of Clinton's Section 245(i) Amnesty in the Spring of 2002.

900+ Freepers voting no on approval for a plan that may never be implemented is a far cry from "spitting in the eyes" of the 50 million who voted for him. Most voters vote for the whole package and not just one issue. You may be getting giddy over the political fallout over this issue but the latest poll has Dubya at 60%.

In the 80s there were "conservatives" who claimed Reagan betrayed the base by reaching out to Gorbachev, protecting Harley Davidson, a ballooning budget deficit, and his own amnesty proposal.

Your vote and all your friends, who think just like you do and REALLY don't like the immigration proposal and likely never voted for Dubya in the first place, will more than be made up by centrist voters who have learned that they no longer need fear the GOP is controlled by its fringe.
