But I don't think Tancredo will be allowed to deal with it. Bush has indicated that he intends to try to pre-empt congressional leaders on this.

How has he indicated this? I'm not gullible, and cynicism is the hobgoblin of a loser, and you are not a loser. I think you have concerns as we all do. I have yet to see ,read or hear anything indicating this Presdent is planning to steamroll Tancredo or anyone else in Congres over immigration.

I'll offer you a hint here: Bush's don't-call-it-amnesty plan and mention in the SOTU was not Tancredo's idea.

It is pre-emption. But I don't expect you'd recognize it or admit it unless Bush held a press conference and said "I'm going to pre-empt Tancredo and Congress on illegal aliens". Then maybe you'd suddenly not want to discuss the issue.

I'm not saying you're a bushbot. But at a certain point, giving BushCo the benefit of the doubt can turn into a slavish personality fixation. As always, I try to ask myself what I'd think if a Dim were trying to do the same exact thing as a GOP pol is proposing. It kind of clarifies things and keeps you on principle.

If more of you applied that standard instead of fixing upon party/personality loyalty, we'd make more progress as conservatives.
