So, Bush is now "Jorge" and evil? I think there's a lot of bad rhetoric being tossed around about his stance on immigration.
1) He's been pretty tireless in reminding folks that he's not an advocate of amnesty.
2) He's been pretty tireless in trying to find a comprehensive solution, one working with Vicente Fox (I think a mistake as that Fox can't be trusted), as well as makeing an effort to stregthen the boder by increasing the appropriations for DHS in regard to the border for FY'06 (not enough though).
I too am critical on Bush about the illegal immigration issue, I think he needs to go after Fox and the corrupt government of Mexico to get to the root of the problem.
But I believe this POTUS to be a good man, and an honest President... I am not going to Bash, and consider his presidency a failure, on just one issue...
He's taken the fight to the enemies of the US overseas. First POTUS to make an actual attempt at doing that in a long, long, long time...He rightly pushed tax cuts to spur economic growth and economic hope, incentivizing corporate investment, and decreasing the unemployment rate....handling well in economic downturn early in his Presidency. He's shaken off viceral attacks by his political opponents who look to divide this country at their personal gain (read Kerry, Clintonistas, here)...
So, in the mind of this conservative Republican, it's fair to be critical in regard to the issue of immigration...but not fair to "Bash" for the sake of taking some small pleasure out of it or fan decent amongst the intelligently faithfull, which a lot of clown libs that post here do on a regular basis...just check out the "Day in the life thread for the POTUS" a pack of libs got on the thread and started Bashing Bush on illegals...just too Bash him...thinking they would keep from being zotted or their comments from being yanked.
Peace, In Hoc.
You are what is referred to as a Bushbot. Good luck with that.
