I’m against the bill. Strongly against. I’m also against throwing bricks, and I’m even against booing.
On another thread, it was said that those who don’t bash Bush...although disagreeing with him on immigration...and those who don’t forswear the Republican Party forever, are the kind who “drink Bush’s bathwater they love him so much”. And from what I’ve seen on this forum for awhile now, that’s a mild insult. I’m tired of it.
Meanwhile, a raft of new, meaner than a junkyard dog posters have decended on us, and some mighty fine human beings are gone from our midst for not being able to take it anymore.
I’m very upset with Bush on immigration, and somewhat upset on other things. Have been for a long time. But you’re right: These “junkyard dogs” (good term for them) are too much.
I would say that these pro-amnesty senators deserve to be booed. But all things considered — in view of his great responsibilities, his hard work to keep us secure as a nation despite failings even on that front, and the horrible abuse he’s gotten from the Left — I would never boo President Bush.
There has been a contingent of anti-Bush folks here since my early lurking days. There are also many conservatives here that have long distrusted the republican party, and here is a prime example why.
So it is completely understandable to me, that when the GOP offers up another Amnesty bill, after decades of completely ignoring the laws (employer fines?? quick deportations? Sanctuary cities??) we need to come down on them like a ton of bricks. The Amnesty fans have many powerful allies in the GOP and media. It will be up to us to stop this abomination dead in its tracks. Much in the same way it will be up to us to stop a liberal from being our nominee. These are the reasons for FR’s existence.
And this is coming from one of Bush’s biggest fans here.
