Of course AP totally ignores Bush's position on open borders and support for illegals (amnesty) which is Bush's other BIG problem, and a major issue with conservatives who respect our soverignty and our laws, to say nothing about government waste of taxpayers' dollars on illegals.
I certainly cannot fault TRUE conservatives for separating themselves from Bush. For obvious reasons.
It is obvious the majority of House members are running against Bush on amnesty for illegals.
MSM is following NYTimes/DNC lead in framing "dissension" in Republican ranks and not mentioning the same in Democratic.
In Missouri, McCaskill the Democrat is competitive in the Senate race because
she's running as "tougher-than-Talent" on illegal immigration.
It's been a hoot to watch some Democrats and some Republican to
run away as fast as possible from "comprehensive immigration reform"
(AMNESTY, that is).
