Well, if history doesn't bear you out, maybe we can find a stretcher... Seriously, do you really think Dubya has a coherent plan in his brainpan concerning immigration, legal or otherwise? The man is a jackass. Sorry to upset his legion of cheerleaders, but a "commander-in-chief" who will not protect the southern border of his own country for fear of offending Vincente Fox or, even worse, the silk-stocking scumbags who benefit from illegal labor should expect charges of treason to be leveled against him. Not that the blatantly traitorous dems are any better, but this fuzzy little internationalist who rose to and retained power due to the efforts of his social conservative base has been a tremendous disappointment. Clueless Georgie. Jees. America is more than your billionaire cronies, schmuck. I wish you'd pay more than lip service to the people who put you(back)in office in 2004...
LOL on the stretcher comment!
Some people's idea of loyalty never ceases to amaze me. I can recall with great poigniency the tributes to the courage of GW after the 9/11 tragedy, the remarks about his sagacity following the 2002 elections, and various and sundry praises for additional actions that this man has taken as president that have moved the ball forward on the conservative agenda, and have protected our nation from any further terrorist attacks.
I feel sorry for you that you are reduced to the point of namecalling to make your point, but it seems highly unlikely that the president's motivation has anything to do with whether or not Vicente Fox is offended or not, believe what you will. Most of the "silk stocking(sic) scumbags" who employ illegal aliens are small business owners simply trying to compete in an environment in which they would be out of business in a nano-second if they did not lower their labor costs to compete, regardless of the morality or lack thereof.
Lest you think this "fuzzy little internationalist" is somehow not trying to move the conservative (social or otherwise)ball down the field, just a few examples of what we would not have had we elected algore or JohneffingKerry:
1. The War on Terror
2. Two strict constitutionalists on the SCOTUS
3. Numerous other fine judicial appointments
4. A ban on the destruction of embryos for stem cell research
5. Tax cuts
6. A roaring economy
7. A leader not a poll follower
8. Faith based initiatives in the federal gov't
9. A man who calls our enemies enemies
10. A murderous tyrant sitting in a jail in Bagdad
That is an incomplete list, I am sure that I could come up with another couple of hundred without a lot of thought.
Politics is the art of the possible, and the Republican party, like any other, is a coalition, not a dictatorship. In the circumstances that we were given in 2000, I think that we elected a pretty good man, and opinion has only impoved with time. I did not support him in the primaries, and I think that there were many better men running, however, as was said of Lincoln following his nomination "I think we could have gotten someone more brilliant, but I don't think that we could have gotten a better man."
