But, I think he was victim of a series of political miscalculations.
I believe Bush made a deal with McCain, because McCain has not criticized Bush or his administration since the ink was dry on CFR.
I think Dubya said, 'John, if you can get that bill to my desk, I'll sign it, provided you never speak against me again.'
Bush didn't believe McCain could get that bill through a Republican Congress, but he did - and Dubya had to keep his word.
And, I don't think the Republican Congress thought Bush would ever sign the bill if it got to his desk.
The next miscalculation was Bush believing the SCOTUS would overturn the law on Constitutional grounds - but, they didn't !!
No, I didn't say that Bush would abridge free speech, and neither did the Supreme Court say that, though if you have an issue with CFR you might start *there* since they are supposed to be the watchdog for such things (or does that not advance your petty little agenda as much as directly bashing Bush per your handlers' instructions)?!
But just to chap both you and your activist friends, if you do somehow manage Bush's impeachment, please note that I will be smoking a fine stogie with President Dick Cheney, laughing our arses off at fools such as yourself who would engage in radical fringe activities such as calling for Bush's impeachment that wouldn't even advance your anti-Republican agenda in the slightest.
Bravo. Straight and true.
You are content to ignore the President's leadership in bringing back personal responsibility and morality?
You are content to ignore the strong pro-Life stance of the President?
You are content to ignore the rebuilding and reenergizing of the military?
You are content to ignore the strength of America abroad, the success in the war on terror, and the fundamental shift of petty dictators around the world because America has flexed the muscle of FREEDOM?
You may call yourself a conservative, Biker, but you don't share the VALUES of Conservatives.
This country went through eight years of hell, and you didn't even notice.
A few more decades of the GOP and we won't be able to distinguish them from the Dumbacrats. Religious Freedom is already being assaulted by courts (while the spineless jellyfish of a GOP sits on their hands!). Ever hear of the Constitution - the exclusions clause (Art. 3, sec. 2). Congress has the authority and power to limit the courts jurisdiction on a number of issues - yet they don't do it. Why?
Our founding fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor for their moral principles. Name one single worthless politician who will do that today! Sacrifice and honor and virtue - you never even hear those words today.
If you want to settle for the status quo...go ahead. I won't. I'll use whatever voice I have to influence change and a bolder approach. If the Presdient and Congress don't FIGHT for what is right, who will?
In any event, as I said, I'm opposed to the guest worker program. Like you, I don't believe it will enacted, but will do all I can to try to convince Congress to drop it altogether. However, for me national security in a post-9/11 world trumps all other issues. There is no Democrat on the scene today who I would trust with national security.
As for the Eisenhower reference, you read more into my purpose than was meant. It was only meant as a reference to the length of time — at least — to which the guest worker precedent stretches back. As I said in #51, it actually goes back further, to the FDR administration. My point should be obvious — that this is not a new problem.
Like you, I don't believe the guest worker proposal is the answer. However, I don't know what the answer is given the current political climate in this country.
By the way, thanks to redistricting having been controlled by Davis and our Marxist legislature, my congress-critter is now Maxine Waters. Yuck! But I will be calling her office to ask what her position is on this issue.
The "know your customer" law is part of it. I have opposed it for years. We prevented it from being enacted for years. As soon as Bush did it, the same people who opposed it rolled. It makes me puke. And the other point about it not "impacting" me is nonsense. It impacts everyone. When the next Hillary type is in charge, it will be crystal clear to all.
I like my private schools private. So does President Bush.
Anyone who thinks vouchers come without stipulations is naive IMO.
If we get back to strong family's and charitable communities with no Gov. intervention, there should be no need of this.(I know I am being idealistic)
Wishful is a better description, Bush will never take you there, he thinks government is the answer to societal problems. He has said so on many occasions.
I agree that pork spending coming out of Congress needs to be control
But you do realize one of the big reasons for the deficit is due to the war on terror and the recession that Clinton left us with
Should we stop the war on terror??
Should we take back the tax cuts?
Godwin's Law : As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
Sorry, couldn't resist ;-)
It's an absurd and untenable position.
