Dobbs and Tancredo had initial good comments about the speech. Dobbs later changed his tune a bit. Tancredo was all over the place tonite, but all his comments toward the president were respectful, even though he didn't agree with all the speech. As a matter of fact, I didn't really see anybody in my channel surfing trash the prez, though I'm sure some did.

Then Tancredo must have changed his tune or something. I heard some initial comments and he seemed to react favorably to it. Oh well. You can't expect everything all at once. That's not how the world works. This speach Bush gave is far and away better than his position the past six years on the border. I don't know how anyone can argue otherwise.

I agree. This is like the juvie FR board or something. Bush practically knocked me down tonight saying all the things that me and most conservatives have been wanting for years when it comes to the borders and illegals. I bet Limbaugh and Hannity are all over this speach tomorrow saying how "it's about time!". Tancredo liked it a LOT and really supported Bush on this speach, and given the fact that he co-founded the Minutemen that says it all. As much as Tancredo liked this speach, I think those here who oppose it and are ragging on Bush for this speech really need to grow up and think about it. Tancredo likes the speach! That says it all.

I don't know about that. Lou Dobbs liked the speech. You had that line ready no matter what the outcome

There were others but there's only so much looking through thousands of posts I'm willing to do.

I'll judge for myself tomorrow.

I waited till this morning to comment on President's Bush's speech last night regarding a subject that I had been very passionate about.

Just as others before me who were passionate about other issues, Meirs, Dubai. This has been an issue that has brought out many strong emotions for many.

I was very pleased with the President's response and speech
regarding this emotional issue. Not that my little reaction to our President's speech matters but I would like to go on record that I found this speech truly inspirational, I found his speech and the solutions he presented to calm my fears about the future of this country and quite frankly the future of the Republican party. Because when I heard Specter/Mccain say that they were siding with a liberal I and many of us felt betrayed.

I believe the President took the sting out of the rhetoric of Specter on the Specter/Mccain/kennedy bill regarding this critical issue, as securing our border is in the best interest of this nation.

Our precious Troops are fighting for this great Nation to keep it secure we cannot allow this constant breaking in of our country thru our own borders.

I resent that I am paying taxes to support lawless people who broke into this great country, by all the welfare benefits they receive. I guess basically what am I saying is to see the defiant marchers wave another country's flags almost weekly by the millions on our streets angered me beyond reason.

There was so much to anger every one of us who love this country and our party, who had it smacked in our faces daily by the very people who broke in to this country.

What country could survive that did not enforce laws? What country could survive with open borders and employers who pay the people under the table ignoring laws.

However we noticed there were those that used this critical issue to further their sick agendas and those of us who realized they were not passionate about a serious issue who were quite frankly kooks that were making us look bad angered us and we denounced them on several threads. And we asked that they quit hijacking the threads with their sick posts and agenda's.

Anyway, thanks to all who listened and allowed me to comment on a issue that I feel strongly about, I support our President and his solutions for a issue that is a serious one
and hope that Congress will follow suit and pass strong border control and as our President said no amnesty and no catch and release, he has given us all HOPE again, it was a bullhorn moment for us. And to all if I commented in any way as to insult anyone I apologize it was not my intent.
