"I think that for the first time, he may have come up with something that may seriously endanger his base," said Free Congress Foundation President Paul Weyrich. "This is a way that terrorists can get into the country, legally and everything," he said.

In view of the President's conduct respecting the CFR Act [signed it], the vastly expensive prescription benefits legislation, remarks concerning the possible extension of the AWB, and finally, his catastrophic sellout on illegal immigration, Real Americans are entitled to ask whether the President holds any respect whatsoever for the Constitution he swore to defend and protect. Does he have strongly held principles? And to put it in crass political terms, if Rove is the prime movant in this long Train of Abuses, are Real Americans not then entitled to conclude that Rove has persuaded the President that he may endlessly disregard his conservative base? We all recall Lee Atwater telling President Read My Lips that he could disregard the conservative base on taxes, among other things. Lee Atwater's judgment was spectacularly unsound and I fear that of his protege Rove may be worse. In the four cases cited above, there is no upside for the President or the country - just a Pandora's Box of downside for the country and an increasingly estranged and alienated conservative base, that is, the party bedrock. Thus it seems that Rove has convinced the President that no matter what outrage the President commits against the conservative principles he ran on, the conservative base will be there not only on election day, but during the campaign. Moreover, Rove does not understand that the bizarre spectacle of our President mud wrestling in Monterey in a dogpile of pygmies does not go down well with Americans, including many Democrats, who believe in our national sovereignty. Let us all pray that God will grant the President light to see. Amen and may God Bless America
