The 'conservatives' can keep on bashing the President and when congress converts to dem, then we'll really hear bashing. Just in time for 2008 election.

Should have known the conservatives have a death wish they plan on inflicting on the rest of the country.

Bush supported the Dems over the conservatives.

His position has not changed since he ran in 2000, but he has agreed to put troops on the border, albeit, too low in number to suit me.

If Bush brings pressure on the house to accept the senate's version than it will be official Bush is a Rino just like his father and no better than McCain or Specter.

Wrong again. If the House GOP cave, it will be the fault of those House members who abandon their constituencies and principles.

Rush is saying basically the same thing today.

It's 1976 all over again.

On most things I give Bush the benefit of the doubt. Not on this. He is badly mistaken if he thinks this will give him a boost in his approval ratings. Think 37% approval is bad, wait a couple of weeks, we should start seeing 25% range. Without conservative support where would Bush be??? Its high time Rove inform the Prez on the polling on this matter. Can't believe we are surrendering to Kennedy again on immigration. Remember it was Kennedy and the great society that gave us this gift of illegals. Now he has a fix.

I'm increasingly of the belief that Rove's true genius was in fooling conservatives.

Your right he has always wanted a guest worker bill. He could have chosen to get there by supporting enforcement first with no amnesty and winning support of conservatives. Instead he choose amnesty.

ROTFL!!!! Why Paul, you're being so negative. That's SO unlike you! :-D

I applaud you guys for having so much energy for being so pissed off constantly. I'm too old and tired, I guess.

Obviously, Haster made a deal with Pelosi. He supports the the "separation of powers" argument and the dems turn down the "party of corruption" noise.

Did Denny also make that deal with the presstitutes and other various moonbats? No matter; Pelosi will break that deal no later than the Thursday after Labor Day (say, the exact timing of the Pelosi re-slam of Pubbies as the "party of corruption" would make a great contest).

Events that have occurred under the recent stewardship of our government by the GOP:

Passage of CFR, free speech takes one hell of a hit

Kelo Decision, property rights take one hell of a hit

Current attempt to assert that Congress is immune to investigation, rule of law is under fire, will take one hell of a hit if our Speaker gets his way. So far, no series objection from GOP.

Two of the above are the direct result of actions by our party, the other they made no attempt to counter.

I could never have imagined such things happenning even under the Dems, who actively seek to end the rule of law. However, the GOP, apparently because it has no solid guiding principles of its own, has now paved the way for the Dems to do more damage than they would ever have dreamed of, should they regain power.
