They are finally cutting themselves loose from the crowd that has saved their bacon time, and time again. But now as lame ducks, they just want to push a rather different agenda.
Crow is the smoking gun. The timing of the book, the negative aspersions attributed to Rove and Card et. al., suggest this was no accident... If Crow was sincere, he knows you don't have an easier fight after such a fast and you conceded the shooting match to the enemy.
The reported sanguinity of the White House, both Rove and Bush [alluded to by Colson, and Frank Barnes as well this morning] tends to fit in with the supposition that they really rather would see the RATs control Congress than continue to be constrained by conservatives.
Hello, Illegal Alien Amnesty, Law of the Sea Treaty, defunding Defense still further and implementing North American Union!
GLOBALONEY, HO! Full-speed ahead!!!
We must especially save the NON-RINOs. If I'm right...we must go all-out to save all conservatives as best we can against this unacknowledged back-stabbing duplicity.
It is great to see that your lights are getting brighter. Of course you realize that those who haven't located their dimmer switch will call you a conspiracy theorist, don't you.
This is a good thread.
IMO, the Republican party is very worried about this election. I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose the senate but retain the house. Right now Bush is into photo ops for the grassroots any way he can get them. He even had a photo op with conservative talk radio hosts.
IMO, there is a whole lot of anger in the conservative base. In 2004, the conservative base was basically told by Carl Rove not to speak of illegal immigration. Now 2 years later and many more illegals in this country sucking up welfare, free hospitalization, crowding schools, ect. people are very angry.
People are also angry that they are told that it (the SPP) is on the internet. This is just an excuse for the whitehouse not to have to talk about it. Many people don't have computers and not all people are political junkies.
There is no reason for not announcing this policy with the OAS'

excerpt...
the Bush administration has doubled its official foreign assistance since coming into office ($862,452,000 in FY2001 to $1,819,423,000 in FY2005), and the figure has tripled since 1997 ($681,426,000).
excerpt...
Remittances are another Summit success story: a total of $60 billion is expected to flow to the region in 2006, with over 75% coming from the United States. Our efforts with Mexico, working with banks in both countries, dropped remittance costs by up to half. We need to expand programs to channel remittances into investment in local poor communities.
Each year the figure in remittances increases along side the increase in illegal aliens.
