"The document," Mr. Frist acknowledged, "has to reflect the president's principles and at same time the party's principles and policies."
So, Senator Frist is actually acknowledging that President Bush isn't the kind of Republican that the Republican party wants to be, the one that he purports to lead, is. It would seem that Senator Frist, Rep. Delay along with others are gravely concerned with Bush and where he is taking the party in view of how the base and even some of the rank and file seem so opposed to (and more so on a daily basis these days) his guest worker (amnesty) plan, in any form.
I guess the Republican Party isn't being as compassionately (aka liberally) conservative as Bush wants it to be, yet! Give Bush time and he will try his compassionate best to ram (this plan of his) down Americas throat no matter whether they want it or not. After all, he is our benevolent and compassionate leader and he knows what's best for the nation. I suspect that the RNC hierarchy is (seriously) second guessing (about now) their bargain they made in picking Bush for the ticket in 2000 right about now.

It might be more than that --- I think Bush might have sincerely believed that helping Vicente Fox in whatever was going to be beneficial somehow to Mexico --- but the elections in July showed a sharp left turn --- with Fox's PAN party taking some big losses and the PRD party which is considered leftist made some good gains.
Mexicans themselves are obviously not very pleased with Fox even though or maybe because his whole economic plan for them is to get as many into the USA or Canada as possible in hopes that some will send some dollars back for a while. It's been a terrible plan.
