"Your cutsie posts don't change the fact that Bush said clearly he would not sign any bill that proposed amnesty."

Bush has re-defined the word "amnesty" (hmm. . . wonder what the meaning of "is" is).

Amnesty has nothing to do with citizenship; tying those two together is what has enabled the Bush administration to triangulate this issue.

Amnesty really means any type of program which allows people here illegally to remain here. And that is exactly what he is proposing.

So, when Bush says he is not for amnesty, he is telling the truth. But that doesn't mean the same thing as when other people say they are not for amnesty.

Exactly. Bill Clinton didn't call his social programs "wealth redistribution" either but that is what they were.

Whatever. I heard the speach. I read the speach. And your comment just doesn't hold true when compared to the speach. It's just that simple. Bush said plain loud and clear "I will not sign legislation that proposes amnesty". If you still contend he supports amnesty, then you're beyond talking to really.
