I am totally against this appalling proposal. It shows rank disrespect for President Bush.
Come on guys, the comments here are utterly silly. You guys are starting to sound like Hillary.
Time to sober up, and realize that no matter what reservations we have about President Bush, he is still one of the five best presidents in US History.
I agree that we are lucky to have Mr. Bush instead of Effington. However, Mr. Bush is failing - BIG TIME - to provide border security and act in the best interests of the United States when he continues to allow the porus state of our borders. The failure in Washington (and the WH) is deliberate and absolutely disgusting. We are being drowned with illegals. Have you read the stats? Sorry, friend, but Mr. Bush needs his feet held to the fire on the obscene state of affairs at the border and you are just as wrong on this issue as he is.
with friends like some of these posters...
Sure glad my friends and family aren't high and mighty so-perfect people that they write me off the minute I do - or don't do - everything their way
As Reagan said, history will tell. But if he doesn't do something about the illegal invasion, his other successes will be marred by this one big failure.
I agree with you it doesn't do much good to trash the President personally.
But I have a sense of betrayal in the way he has commented on illegal immigration: "Our immigration laws are outdated." (State of the Union) and attacking the minuteman as "irrational vigilantes" before they had done ANYTHING.
I campaigned for George W. Bush, I supported him, I took hits on his behalf and I have BELIEVED in him. (And, so have minutemen volunteers.) I respect him as President but I must be honest about my mixed feelings at this point. He's done nothing to soften the betrayal.
