I agree that Pied Piper might have been preferable.
I also believe that it was misread and reacted to in a hysterical fashion.
People always need to question the people in charge. If this was a Democrat, no one would have disagreed. On this issue, Bush and the Democrats are working together.
That alone deserves questioning the reasons and the outcome. Almost all of us have been on Bushes side in the past, he has left the reservation.
I am in complete agreement about the president - I’m at once enraged, heartbroken and baffled.
I REACT when I see Hitler or Nazi. Hysteria? Not quite- but visceral, yes.
I worry when we don’t question our leaders, even while supporting them- (which in this case I can’t) without arguing, democracy fades!
Actually he is trying to lead you down a path you don't want to go. Bush is doing exactly what he campaigned on from day 1. He believes that it is his duty to find a "practical" way to solve the illegals problem. He probably doesn't even need a "bill" to accomplish an amnesty as he could grant one under his Constitutional powers. He has to put up with the gnashing of teeth from the right as he has had to put up with worse from the left on everything including attacks on him personally. Now that the attacks are coming from the right, you don't expect him to call the Buchananites the crazies that they are?
