Frankly, at this point in history, the 'revolt' over his immigration policy is already complete, and has been successful.

It doesn't involve a revolt that will keep most conservatives from voting for him, but something more mature: The pressure on our elected officials in Congress on this key issue has already been such that any hope of passage of the Bush plan is DOA.

Game, set, match.

Exactly!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1065774/posts "Republican lawmakers who generally back President Bush are not backing him on immigration. In fact, they want their leaders to know they have "serious concerns" about President Bush's proposed immigration policy. In a letter addressed to House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) and several other members of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus said they won't go along with the president's plan because it "does not address the problem appropriately." "In fact, in our view, it will further exacerbate the problem and create discontent amongst the Republican Party," the letter said." "
