You got that right! Bush has no credibility anymore with me, specifically as a result of his policy of deliberate non-enforcement of our border sovereignty and our immigration laws. Especially when when he clings to his open borders philosophy in the face of the public's overwhelming opposition to it.

Until he takes the problem of illegal immigration seriously, I will not trust a word he says about globalism or free trade.

I was trying to explain Bush to my 16-year-old, football-playing, clear-thinking, All-American son, who was quite puzzled about the port thing.

Here's what I told him:

Ronald Reagan was so popular and fabulous that after he left in 1988, we still wanted a piece of him, so Reagan's VP, Bush41, was the natural successor. Bush41 (read my lips) turned out not really Reaganesque, so just enough of us (not me!) thought we'd try something new and with Ross Perot's help, Clintoon won the erection. (I mean election.) After eight years of this trash, we were ready for Reagan again. So what was the closest thing to Reagan? The son of Reagan's VP! Now Bush43 turns out to be even less like Reagan than Bush41! There is only one hope -- gotta find the next Reagan. And it's not Jeb!
