Now Now Tooth, there you go again, I said blanket amnesty, I know your itching to condemn me for something, but don't put words in my mouth, I was not in favor of this plan, and I said it would never make it out of Congress. I also said it was just a vague proposal, NOT A BILL introduced to Congress

You said "blanket Amnesty," and I told you that was a red herring of the President's.

It was always a meaningless promise; the Reagan Amnesty wasn't even a blanket Amnesty. You understood Amnesty would necessarily be blanket, and that has proven, as predicted, not to be true.

don't put words in my mouth, I was not in favor of this plan

Never said you did.

I said it would never make it out of Congress. I also said it was just a vague proposal, NOT A BILL introduced to Congress

It probably will be defeated in Congress, though there's no room for complacency.

However, the "vague proposal" harbor is no more safe than the "he opposes blanket Amnesty" refuge.

I may be in the minority on this, but I don't think this proposal of the President's to legalize millions of Illegals is merely politics. Sure, it's a calculation in his timing, but I believe that President Bush fundamentally believes it's the right thing to do. He's tried Amnesty before, in 2002, is trying again now, and will try again in the future.

He just needs to be reelected and watched like a hawk on this issue.
