I think you have your "facts" backwards. President Bush is KNOWN FOR WANTING DISSENT!! Sorry .. your comment about "ourcrys being screened out" just will not hold water. Better luck next time.

And .. where do you get this "GW is allowed" stuff. Nobody "allows" the President .. the President directs what happens - not the other way around. And .. GW doesn't read editorials because he doesn't want to waste his time reading all the trash people write about him. So far .. you're batting 1000 in incorrect assumptions.

And .. you are assuming wrongly .. like the democrats .. that the President is not aware of what people are saying. If the President only did things according to what the people were saying (polls), he would be just another Clinton (who never did anything until polls had been taken to see what the public wanted).

You obviously don't trust the President! Soooo! That is YOUR PROBLEM and not the President's.

It isn't that I do not trust the President, I just do not trust the droves of unelected advisors that surround the President. All too often policy decisions are based upon the best information available, which is usually disseminated by those same advisors. Some of the recent proposals like immigration reform seem to be pandering to the same editorials generated by the left that you say he don't read. Also expansion of medicare prescription drug benefits costing hundreds of billions of dollars seem to leave cost controls of those same drugs to the wind. Rewarding the Pharmaceutical companys immediately with incentives, yet the consumer has to wait for over 2 years for any percieved benefit to arrive tells me there are serious flaws in the bill yet to be worked out. This can be considered to be an election year ploy to satisfy the editorial critics as well.

If 80% of Americans disagree with immigration reform proposals by the President, I suggest he start listening or he will be voted out. A viable 3rd party effort unseated his father. There is enough disgust with the current 2 party monopoly in America right now to nurture a
serious challenge that could be GW's undoing. President Bush better listen to the people and listen carefully.
If we the people feel we have been abandoned or alienated in favor of illegal aliens, I will abandon our President, because being independent allows me to pick and choose based on facts, not loyalty.
