Bush seems to have lost his compass, imo. He had lost it before the last election, but when the Dims took over Congress, that has exacerbated his decision making. This amnesty bill has to be one of the worse bills to ever be introduced in Congress in our nations history. I am afraid if this bill passes, this will be the beginning of the end of this great nation of ours, as we know it today. And the Republican party, as a whole, will suffer a huge, gigantic loss for many years to come over this. The passage of this bill is a tremendous win for the Democrat party, and their army of supporters who live on entitlements. It will cost us billions more in tax dollars, not to mention the death-knell of Social Security and Medicare. God have mercy on us!

It's already suffered a huge, gigantic loss. You wait. The words "better than Hillary" won't cut it in 2008. If a RINO wins the nomination, a huge number of conservatives will either sit out the election or vote 3rd party.

I'm not advocating this, I'm just stating it as a political fact of life. The RINOs who run the national party are probably too stupid to look that fact in the face, but there it is, staring right back at them, whether they chose to acknowledge it or not.

Maybe he/we lost our way or maybe this is a plan coming to fruition. I voted for him twice, knowing this was a possibility but also knowing the other choice was a quicker suicide.

I had hoped that his religious conversion was real and would cause him not to follow his father's globalist path.

I used the word globalist because people don't offer to make you a foil hat over that word. Bush 41 himself used the term New World Order which means the same thing--the end of this great nation as we know it today. It means a version of the EU with the political class in firm control.

With very few exceptions on both sides our elected officials belong to the Political Class Party.
