OK. He did not use the word "unpatriotic". The words he did use mean much the same thing.

I deeply resent his backstabbing the conservative base on this issue. I'm glad he can't have a third term. He does not deserve one.

I’ll just reiterate that I believe that post#371 has it right: That in the President’s view this bill is vital for America, to kill it would be bad for America, and please, people, don’t find some part of it so objectionable that you kill the bill... That if you can propose a way to better it, go ahead, but he’s asking don’t just kill it to kill it, as he believes it is the only good approach.

As I’ve said elsewhere, I disagree with that as do you, but I believe that the talking heads have managed to twist what he said to something he didn’t mean: that we’re unpatriotic if we disagree with this approach.

I believe we need several smaller, more comprehensible steps first (I forgot “stop anchor babies” in that post), and only after that should we proceed.

Libkill:

It meant the same thing as “unpatriotic” in YOUR mind and plenty of others I see. It didn’t mean that to me and plenty of others.

He just created one of his backwardly constructed sentences and blurred his own true meaning. If you give it time and perusal, without the noose tightened around his neck to hang him already, it’s not hard to see where he misspoke. He left out the part where he needed to say that in his deeply held view, the bill he supports is the right way to handle illegal immigration, so if the bill goes down to defeat it will be done in by those who refused to do what’s right for Amrica (IN HIS VIEW OF WHAT IS RIGHT).

Let me be the first with breaking news. As incredible as it seems to you and others, Bush actually believes in this approach. He doesn’t even like every detail in the bill, but overall he thinks it will make things better for everyone. He genuinely believes that and is worried at the prospect of failure. How I wish he had stated it that way, instead of the way he did.

But to claim that he actually views us all (I’m against the bill, too) as unpatriotic is just goofy, and is only happening because people have become unhinged over this subject. IMO
