Well, on the illegal immigration issue, while I am against GWB's stance, there is sufficient representation in Congress to fight it.
On the issue of the Federal courts, the Republican party has been saying for years that one of the reasons people should elect their party is to stop Judicial Activism, and change the direction of the courts. GWB's promise ( and the nitpickers can say that he didn't make a promise, only a statement, in which case the nitpickers can kiss my a__ ) was that he was looking to put more judges like Scalia and Thomas on the court. Already, you are getting the dissemblers out in the media trying to spin Gonzales as a good thing.
If the game is make a promise with respect to something in order to get the majority, then pull away the football like Lucy does with Charlie Brown when the rubber hits the road, I am similar to you. The GOP can look for the illegal vote, the felon vote, the homosexual vote, and the feminist vote from now on. I'll be done with them. That is not an idle threat.
And as for being called a traitor or whatever for saying this, those people that do so can do the same as I mentioned before ( kiss my a__ ). This is a forum for conservatives, not for party cheerleaders.
I was one of GWB's biggest cheerleaders in 2000 when he was running, and in 2004. But something has changed with him since re-election.
He seems to have lost his way and has become just another typical DC pol.
