"Bush's position is NOT 'leftist.'
It is not strong enough......it may be completely wrong...... but the leftist position, as evidenced by the Dem propaganda during the rallies is to show maps of the southwestern US as being part of Mexico, to advocate complete health benefits and citizenship to all illegals, and to have a completely open border, because there IS no US Sovereignty. because America is a bad place filled with imperialist bad people.
It is REALLY important to be accurate here, Kimberly. Disagreeing with the President is one thing. Completely mischaracterizing his position on the border is just plain wrong, and it hurts the real discussion of the issue."
I disagree. As for accuracy, it's pretty clear cut to me. IMO, on the right are those who are FOR the enforcement of our laws, FOR an effectively secured border and AGAINST earned amnesty for illegal aliens. On the left are everyone else.
I am truly disappointed that Bush has let me down on this. Very disappointed. But, I will continue to try and find other Republicans on the right side of this issue, like Tancredo, who I CAN support. But if we loose the majority, if our troops in Iraq are forced to surrender, if dems win control and we stop fighting the war on terror, all because of Bush, I don't think I will ever forgive him.
I don't think there could be a more perfectly absurd summation -- dare I say position paper! -- of all the boo-birds on this interminable thread.
Please try again. The 'leftist' position on illegal immigration isn't even close to Bush's.
And blaming HIM for hurting our troops in Iraq is just bizarre. There's nothing to even grab onto and defend. It's a bizarre, baseless accusation.
"All because of Bush". That's your whole story, isn't it?
Amnesty, you say? The President said, and I quote: "I oppose amnesty -- placing undocumented workers on the automatic path to citizenship," he said. "Granting amnesty encourages the violation of our laws and perpetuates illegal immigration. America's a welcoming country. But citizenship must not be the automatic reward for violating the laws of America."
What is your problem with that?
