Here it comes....

[Schnucki]

Yep. :(

[nofaceveils]

Amnesty is SUCH a bad idea.

[bmwcyle]

The question, how important is his illegal alien plan to him?

[fortheDeclaration]

Make the new Democrat congress go on record by voting for it so when the recently elected Democrats from Republican districts (like Lampson) run in 08 they can't claim to have been tough on immigration.

Bush eyes Democrats for help on amnesty

Bush offers Democrats perpetual power- a massive and rapid increase in the Democrat voting base.

[goldstategop]

NO! Over our dead body... if you persist Mr. President, don't count on us to be there for you when the Democrats come for your scalp. This is a red line with the base. READ OUR LIPS, NO AMNESTY!

Mexico will win. (?)

Without firing a shot.

(But that's what you wind up with when you have a President getting policy advice from his housekeeper.)

Maybe ....

[meyer]

Bush finds a silver lining to the democRAT's win - another attempt at amnesty for all the illegals.

[Sprite518]

If Bush pulls that stunt, then I will no longer support him.

[jamesrichards]

I'm real glad that message was sent to the republicans.

What a great message to stab in the back the congress that blocked bush's amnesty.

So now we have amnesty and the dems will block conservative judges.

This is a great lesson in being careful what you wish for.

Some conservatives said what is the big deal losing the house for two years. But that sentiment also took down the senate.

If you look at the 08 election I see very few seats changing back. Gop districts are far less partisan than dem districts. Those new members will stay no matter what pelosi does. They can vote against bills with the majority they have now and pick off some rinos.

Sending a message will give pelosi leadership for a decade.

It took 12 years for the dems to get back the house.

Be careful what you wish for a message can turn into a long national nightmare.

Now looking at the senate I don't see two pickup oppurtunities. We will be even in a worse situation defending red seats in blue areas.

This was bush's last chance to get judges through committees. Ted Kennedy will tie up all of bush's judges the next two years.

Conservatives that stayed home in virginia and montana didn't think about the judiciary.

If Allen and Burns had high turnout in conservative areas they would have won.

[tvdog12345]

This is an outrage. The country is being destroyed, filled with people who do not respect its ideals. This amnesty is a betrayal of the first order.

[freeangel]

I'm horrified,too. I strongly believe that if action had been taken against ILLEGALS, we would have held on because the base would have known their reps would have been responsive to the will of their constituents.

[RogueIsland]

Wow, that was fast. At this rate, George might even be able to get to sign a new Assault Weapons Ban by Christmas. < /sarcasm >

Sadly, if he does this, whatever good the man has done will not be remembered, and this will end up one of the biggest parts of his "legacy".

[Deo et Patria]

Boy, those "real conservatives" who decided to stay at home to "teach the Republicans a lesson" sure showed us, huh?

I hope they all note what happens when REAL liberals take over Congress.

[stopem]

I think IF Senate had passed strong immigration policy before the election it may not had turned out this badly!

I am in Italy right now and they are commenting on our elections.Their comments are that we lost because of the Iraq war.

In England the Conservative Party is passing very STRONG Immigration policies against all illegal immigrants and putting a cap on all immigrants entering their country while our country allows anyone to enter with no caps, big mistake!

Here in Italy I only get to see about 3 TV shows in ENGLISH
everything else is in Italian. Newspapers are in Italian.
I liked London because everything there was in english.

We get CNN international here in english.
Euro's here in Italy are better than the pound.
Quite costly in both countries.

[hnj_00]

if Bush supports the senate amnesty bill...giving every break to illegals....welfare/social security/health benefits/in state school tuition/first in line for citizenship.... I will support pelosi and conyers in the impeachment....after all he then becomes nothing more than their useful idiot....

and please don't post and say I was one that stayed home to teach republicans a lesson...what shi-ite...I was in the polls by 6:30 am voting in futility for a straight (r) ticket in NJ!!!!!

[excludethis]

"his Republican opponents predicted a bloody intraparty fight but said they cannot stop such a bill from passing."


Give me a break, most of the new Dems in house do not support amnesty! If my congressman along with the new anti-amnesty dems cannot stop this, then I will be voting out my last remaining republican representative!

[Ajnin]

If the 86 amnesty can be an example of what will happen in the future, another amnesty will not only be granted to those that reside here illegally. Any and all illegals that enter before the filing deadline regardless of whether or not they crossed the day before or five years prior will be granted amnesty.

[Joe Boucher]

That will surely endear him to conservatives. NOT

[OBXWanderer]

Here it comes..

I had not even had my morning cup of coffee Wednesday morning, after staying up to 3AM watching returns, when the first thing that I heard yesterday morning was "Immigration Reform". I had not heard that term in weeks.
