Nothing to see here. Move along. Bush opposes abortion, gay marriage and stem cell research. That's all conservatives should care about.

LOL! You always put it into perspective....:)

Moving along......

That's just nuts! If everyone spoke English, we would not have such deep divides in this country.

When taking a DMV test in CA, you get your choice: ENGLISH -or- Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Cambodian, Chinese, Croatian, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hmong, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Persian/Farsi, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog/Filipino, Thai, Tongan, Turkish, Vietnamese

I'm sorry, but our street and traffic signs are all written in English - how can you drive here if you can't read the signs? (oh wait - that explains it!)

OTOH, if English is NOT the official langauge, why is Spanish the other option? Why not Vietnamese? Or Chinese? Or Gaelic or Italian?

Hell... lets just all start speaking French! :\

Flip-flopping like Kerry.

Against a fence. For a fence. Against increasing border safety. Now for it. For now. At least til the bill gets to his desk.

Reid is a complete moron.

Of that there is no doubt! Why Republicans want to join him in his moron-osity is what is mystifying!

"White House spokesman Tony Snow said Friday that President Bush supports both measures."

I also saw that report, that W supports both proposals. So what gives? Is the AG backstabbing the Pres?

If this is true, Bush is ensuring the GOP defeat in November! Last conservative out please turn off the lights.

Because traffic signs are an international standard, except for language.

Same here, and given the alternative i'd probably vote for him again if it were allowed...

"Press 2 for English-Plus"

"English-Plus" makes me want to vomit.
