Its all about votes. Amnesty might make sense if we enforced our laws and it was found wanting. The truth is we have never tried to enforce our laws and so amnesty is unwarranted. Its a shame our politicians can't seem to make the connection here.

Amen to that.

And if you think about the 68% that think things were better back in the time of the Toon, that's not all that hard to believe either.

You have:
45% basic RAT base
10% moderates who are probably all piss'd off at W right now
10% more composed of bushbots and conservatives that are fed up as witnessed by W's 31% approval.

While I'm not a fan of polls it's hard to keep sticking my head in the sand over that fact.

I still think Bush is the master of the rope-a-dope and he'll pull it off one more time...just i time for Nov '06.....I hope.

I still think Bush is the master of the rope-a-dope and he'll pull it off one more time.

In order to do, he'd have to:
(1) order the IRS/SS Admin to immediately make their database available for SSN validity checking;
(2) send a joint letter from the IRS/Justice/Labor Depts to millions of small businesses warning them of ramped up audits & prosecution for failure to use #1; and
(3)and most importantly, start issuing no-bid contracts to Haliburton (kidding), et al to begin immediate construction of a wall.

Bush has proved himself capable of making overnight decisions with regards to the W0T - he took much more draconian measures with Iraq. Anything less in response to the southern invasion tells us everything we need to know about where he stands on the issue of illegal aliens.
