Add me to the Amen Chorus.
I'm sorry that he has nothing about enforcement.
I'm Sorry that he lets Mexico have so much money transferred.
I'm sorry that he prevented the INS from arresting illegals in California.
I'm sorry that he has encouraged illegals to come at every turn.
I'm sorry that he sang the national anthem in Spanish and then said it should be in English later.
I'm really sorry that he is giving amnesty to millions of illegals.
I'm sorry he won't repay the people in my state, California, for their ruined hospitals, school system, and prison system, while taking the citizen's tax dollars.
I bet I am more sorry than you.
Yep, sure is!
Exactly. :-)
I'm sorry. I thought I was vting for a true conservative. I voted for Bush again in 2004. Now that he's not eligible for re-election, the true colors appear to show. Very interesting that except for tax cuts and Iraq, President Bush is reminding me more of the Democrats than of the party of Reagan. A major disappointment.
You can practice all the Bill Mahr rationalizations you like, but as far as I'm concerned Uno de Mayo was as much a watershed as 911, and all the insults in the world aren't going to change my demeanor.
IN MY OPINION AND THOSE IMMORTAL WORDS OF "THE GREAT ONE"...
SHUT UP YOU MORON!!!!
AND THAT GOES FOR THE REST OF YOU WEAK-KNEED WUS'S
If you don't like the Prez, go vote for the Hildabeast!
Dude you need to get rescued out of Kalifornia!
Under the theory that she'll betray her base, it sounds like a winner. ;-)
What's your source for Pres. Bush singing the national anthem in Spanish?
You talkin' to me?
In case you didn't happen to notice, I was supporting the President.
But I am not sorry that I did precinct walks for Bush in order to keep JF'n and crazy Gore out
I'm sorry that I had to change employers of 15 years after having the position that I feel I deserved was given to 2 former illegal aliens instead in order to to please OTA(other than American) customers
I'm sorry that so much blood was spilled by our brave soldiers to defend our freedoms, our constitution, while pork belly politicians sqaunder it away and corrupt judges pervert the constitution
I am so sorry about the Socialist Security shell game....
But like the hurricanes, you can't blame all this on Bush
Thank God for GW....
I considered the alternative and count my blessings even though sometimes I feel I am riding a bird with two lefts wings spiraling into destruction
I'm sorry too! I'm sorry that I didn't write what you did! Excellent, TypeZoNegative! bttt!
Sorry, I was so angered at the poster I wanted to post my vent. I'm with you man.
I understand, my FRiend. Happens to anybody who posts enough...
Anyway, please aim, would ya? ;-)
There isn't one, it was debunked over a week ago, but that wont stop the propaganda by these folks

President Bush declared last week that the national anthem should be sung in English not Spanish, but he evidently never told his own government or campaign organizations.
The State Department posts four Spanish versions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" on its Web site, and accounts from the 2000 election suggest that the song was at times performed in Spanish at Bush campaign events. Critics even turned up one reference to Bush himself singing the anthem in Spanish on the trail, but there was no confirmation.
. The furor over a newly released Spanish version of the anthem has underscored once again the power of symbols in American politics. At a time when the immigration debate in Washington has divided Republicans on Capitol Hill, drawn hundreds of thousands of protesters into the streets and triggered a nationwide boycott, all sides are scrutinizing the words and records of the president and other politicians for signs of inconsistency.
Bush waded into the matter last week after British producer Adam Kidron issued " Nuestro Himno ." Responding to a reporter, Bush said: "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English. And I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English, and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English."
But Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice chose not to repeat his formulation Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation." "I've heard the national anthem done in rap versions, country versions, classical versions," she said. "The individualization of the American national anthem is quite underway."
And there seems little evidence that the matter had concerned Bush before. The Center for American Progress, a liberal group run by Clinton chief of staff John D. Podesta, posted on its blog a reference to Bush singing the anthem in Spanish. In his book, "American Dynasty," Kevin Phillips wrote that Bush "would drop in at Hispanic festivals and parties, sometimes joining in singing 'The Star-Spangled Banner' in Spanish, sometimes partying with a 'Viva Bush' mariachi band flown in from Texas."
White House spokesmen and former campaign operatives said they could not recall whether that happened, though given the level of Bush's Spanish proficiency, they seemed dubious.
"Honestly, I don't remember him ever singing the national anthem in Spanish," said Leonard Rodriguez, who was national director of Hispanic Coalition for Bush/Cheney 2000. "I can't see any of his advisers recommending it." But he added: "They may have played it. That's certainly in the realm of possibility." And Rodriguez said he does not recall Bush ever objecting to it.
The Center for American Progress also cited a news report that the anthem was performed in Spanish by singer Jon Secada at a 2001 inauguration event, but Bush aides and most news accounts said he actually sang a Spanish version of "America the Beautiful."
Secada later performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the White House, in May 2001, but in English, according to the White House.
