Whether or not he ran on those platforms, both are still a sell-out of long-held conservative positions.
Illegal immigration: If Bush can get the borders under control, which he said he would do,
Said? It's not about saying, it's about doing.
He's the president. It's his job to GET the borders under control. To ENFORCE the laws against employers hiring illegals.
He has done little with either.
And even today, McClellan refused to say whether or not Bush would veto a bill that dealt only with border security. Which undermines your reasonable position that we secure the borders first and then consider a guest-worker program.
You said immigration was the last straw. So I assumed you were comfortable voting for Bush despite illegal immigration never being mentioned but in passing in either campaign.
It is BECAUSE of GWB that the house (good) and senate (bad) are moving on the issue. he brought it up and he told the congress to do it. Now we conservatives need to stick together and push hard for the best possible version.
Good Lord. What a bunch of spoiled brats. Don't get the color lollipop you want, you gonna take your ball and go home - leave the battle field to the enemy.
Great strategy.
