So if the president's stance on immigration and spending upset you - and they do upset me - what are you going to do about it? Stay at home? Nothing could be worse for conservativism

I am very against Amnesty and will not like it one bit if the GOP ignores the base and the will of the American people and pass Amnesty. That being said, I must remind those who may be angry at Bush for his Illegal Alien plan that he did run on this issue even though he knew it was NOT popular. He ran on this issue in 2000 and 2004. I do give him that and I respect him for that. I remember commenting on this to others that like him or not you should give him credit for his honesty. How many candidates would run on an issue that's unpopular? It would have been easy for him to say nothing about Amnesty until he had won and then push it...you know...the Clinton way of doing things. But we should give him credit for atleast being honest and telling us about his plan before we voted for him.

I admit, I voted for Bush knowing about his plan. I voted for him for other issues which I liked. I figured his Amnesty plan could be voted down by our representatives. It will be them I will hold accountable on this issue as it is them that I have sent my opinions to. I cannot blame Bush for this plan. He ran on it.

The republicans in congress know very well that we the American people do not want this. I hope they vote on our behalf.
