The problem for Mr. Frist, he acknowledged, is that, in order to avoid a possible convention floor fight, the platform's immigration plank has to be written in such a way as to reconcile, or at least appear to reconcile, the irreconcilable. That is, it has to oppose amnesty, but not oppose the president's plan, which includes a temporary amnesty that also, as some critics claim, can lead to citizenship for those granted amnesty.     

"The document," Mr. Frist acknowledged, "has to reflect the president's principles and at same time the party's principles and policies."

Then the document will be a lie.

The Bush Amnesty is an Amnesty, and the President and his apologists are dishonest to claim otherwise.

After re-election, President Bush will push again and again for his Amnesty, and it will be necessary to defeat him on that issue at every opportunity.

"and they blame the idea on Bush advisers, including chief political strategist Karl Rove".

The idea may be from his advisers, But Bush either goes along or doesn't use it.

Bush is wrong on this one and if he loses the election he can blame this one issue.

Too many Americans have had to struggle to make a life and living for their families and too many immigrants broke their backs to get their small part in the American Dream ,and they did it legally.

Bush and his Merry Hacks are playing fast and loose with the constitution and with the law.
They are demeaning all of the People who did it right and became Good American Citizens.

Bush may live to regret this maneuver and hoax he is perpetrating on the American People and the worst could be helping put Kerry in the White House.

He can thank Karl Rove!

Yup. But as Bill Murray said in that great political movie, "Ghostbusters":

You know, I'm a voter!... Aren't you supposed to lie to me and kiss my butt?
