Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...but most of these self same people, claim to be life long REPUBLICAN voters. Of course, anyone who has been on FR for any length of time, knows full well, that many of them are fringers. No matter, the "serial caller play-book" is also alive and well and used on FR.
No, a LOT of the criticism has been WHOLLY unjustified and made by people who have very little understanding and comprehension of how government works and American history, for the past 100 years. What they appear to want, is NOT a president, but a benevolent dictator cum genie, who will do their bidding.
If I use the plural illegals (which I don't think I did in my last post) it's an acknowledgment that although Mexicans comprise the vast majority of illegals there are other nationalities as well. I would not challenge much of what you said. I can't speak for all or even most of the Bush critics. I refer to those who make it clear they support him in other areas. I just believe that we should not have a gag order against criticism just because the POTUS is besieged by his true enemies. As for unbridled, general Bush bashing, I part company with them. I may be wrong, but I don't think that applies to most of the Bush critics on border issues (and I've read many of their posts). Again, I 'm not referring to the "savagers." As for being "concerned only with the Mexican border," there is every reason to be concerned primarily with it.
