My daughter, on the other hand, was pleased with the speech because she thought that the President would totally go with the hysterics, and was quite surprised that he seemed to have a good plan.
While everyone is puffing out their chest about "the base", they are ignoring the fact that much of this rhetoric is driving new Republicans back into the fold of the democrats.
My son, in his early 20s, WAS an avid supporter of President Bush.
My son was in California a few weeks ago when millions of third world anarchists, radicals, and illegal aliens, marched thru the streets demanding the US change its laws to suit them. My son, as was I, was stunned at realizing how close we've become to mob rule, and Bush is to blame, I fear.
Ironically, Bush is giving these left-wing communist sympathizers from Central America exactly what they want.
My son, as do I, suddenly sees President George Bush in a different light, as someone who would willingly push the US toward third world status by passing this assinine legislation that would have 100-200 million new third world immigrants flood across our borders within the next 20 years.
WHAT IS THE FREAKIN RUSH. Frankly, we should pass tough laws against hiring illegals, and these criminals who border jumped can remain in limbo forever.
Either that, or they can go back to their home country and do things right.
