I now hope the Democrats actually do impeach Bush, though it would never happen now that he is one of them. Loser.

Briefing reporters yesterday, two of Mr. Bush’s Cabinet secretaries also took shots at critics.
“To sit on the sidelines and criticize the bill and nitpick the bill, use one-liners and one word, anyone can do that,” Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez said.
He and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the bill is the result of a number of tradeoffs. They challenged opponents to put forward another solution that takes account of what Mr. Chertoff called “real life, as opposed to theoretical arguments about what would be nice.”

Real life? LOL! How about seeing the laws are enforced, for starters? Or are Gut, Chert, & Bush too stupid for that?

I’ve gathered up all the solicitations from the RNC and state GOP ( I get at least one a week ) and have been sending them back empty marked “NO AMNESTY”. The good part is that they have postage paid envelopes so I don’t pay.

And it is right to take political risk for members of the United States Congress," Mr. Bush said

Yeah, it's easy for Bush to say that because he doesn't have to run again. Why in the world would any congressman/woman want to take a risk of losing their jobs for Bush or Mexico? My guess is that they won't. Those who back Bush in this matter are going to be fired or recalled before it's all over.

Wesley Pruden, the Editor-in-Chief of "The Washington Times" had a column yesterday in which he said that Bush is competing with Truman to leave the Presidency with the lowest approval ratings. Currrently Bush has 28 percent approval, and Truman left with 23 percent.

I think our boy Bush can do it!

"It is right to argue for what you believe..."

Damn straight, Mr. President, it is why most American Citizens see that this bill is amnesty, rewarding law breakers.

Have them live on your nice ranch, have them go to your hospital, have them go to the private school your kids went to rather than thrusting them on us the American Citizens who have been doing the work that Americans do and paying their taxes out of their hard earned income and now you want us to pay more for them.

I am waiting for an HONEST explanation of his amnesty policy. More and more, Bush strikes me as a fraud.

Oh, Bush is trying to "lower the temperature" is he? For his next display in competence he will put out a lumberyard fire using a gasoline hose.

"... what is at stake, is more than one small country. It is a big idea. A New World Order where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind: peace, and security, freedom, and the rule of law ... [The war in Iraq is] a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, ... our fifth objective, - a New World Order, can emerge: a new era, freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace ... Now we can see a new world coming into view, a world in which there is a very real prospect of a New World Order. ... We are now in sight of a United Nations that performs as envisioned by its founders." --President George Herbert Walker Bush (Speaking before Congress on 11th September, 1991 [Televised])

Like father, like son. I watched the father say these very words on tv back in 1991. The hair on my neck and arms stood up as I listened to him. I could not believe what I had heard. Now, it won't suprise me if the son slips and uses this phrase sometime between now and the end of his term.

They challenged opponents to put forward another solution that takes account of what Mr. Chertoff called "real life, as opposed to theoretical arguments about what would be nice."

Hey Chertoff,

You and the others in the pro-criminal axis defeated a House bill that did just that last year. Your pro-criminal axis is also ignoring S-1269 which does just that now.

You and your ilk don't want to do what is right for America. You are siding with criminals and scofflaws against the American people and the legal alien residents who respect our laws.
