Looks like the bots are reorganizing for renewed attack and propoganda. I have already seen quite a few posts indicating a coordinated attack by the bots. All of them seem to be very active today; must have gotten marching orders this morning from the WH and RNC.
But he is bold and he pushes for what he believes in...so no, criticize all you want, but this was not a betrayal.
PS: The President liberated 50 millions people in Iraq and Afghanistan, The author made a typo error by saying 50,000. The article is EXCELLENT.
Good read. Can’t wait for the action to start when the name callers and breast beaters get here. I bet someone will even flame me for unproductive name calling. SNORT!!!
bump for later
I am over there already. Today promises to be interesting around Free Republic.
We just did not know that he stood with Teddy Kennedy’s version of give America away Shamnesty.
Say what ever you want but we voters for Bush expected him to at least fulfill current law to close the borders and build the fence before running through any kind of immigration reform.
Personally, I feel betrayed by many in government who time after time have failed to live up to laws currently on the books.
When government can show some amount of responsibility for it’s actions then I will buy into looking at further kinds of immigration reform.
A lot of people areound here remind me of Forest Gump. While watching a baseball game, they complain that there are no touchdowns.
“Does he support the second amendment”?
“worth clicking on the link and reading in full”
I did. It wasn’t.
To me, the true betrayal is that Bush can’t seem to stop insulting his base. He has done a number of things in his administration that are distasteful even to moderate conservatives (expanding the federal education boondoggle, prescription drugs, Harriet Miers, signing campaign finance, the Dubai ports deal) but I don’t anyone really felt the sting of betrayal until Bush started insulting conservatives, and Americans in general (”work Americans won’t do”, anyone who opposes amnesty doesn’t want to do what’s right for America, etc.). It has become clear that he never really had any respect for the people who voted him in, and that puts a lot of things into question.
Fair article, and I think its good that what he has done, and what we knew about him before electing him to two terms as President should be recalled.
I’m very disappointed by his second term in office, which is an improvement over his father, I lost faith in him the day he raised taxes and that was that.
But its time the President do with immigration reform what he did with Social Security Reform. Drop it, because its not going to happen. Drop it because its fractured the party, drop it because we can’t have your own poll numbers go any lower. There is a war on, remember? A weak President isn’t helpful fighting that war designed to kill or subjugate us all under Islamic Law.
You’ve had six years, Mr President.
Do us a favor, and just mind the shop til January of 09.
Great post! Thank you.
Bush is not a political hack.
As far as Bush’s “betrayal” (the phrase that pops up on this site so regularly by our own hacks) is concerned - Bush is a man of deep Faith in the Lord: he is not a man of “betrayal.”
Its a good thread, but a bushbot thread nonetheless. While Bush does have some positives, he also has some glaring shortcomings that predisposition of Anchoress fan club tends to diminish. Its very difficult for them to criticize their guy even with th evidence of massive illegal border crossing in the past six years. Bush has been illegal alien magnet since taking office.
The bill as written was unworkable and therefore, indefensible. Written in such bad faith as that bill was, the anger and hostility directed at Bush and the RNC is justified. American people want justice and border security, not deception and pandering to special interest groups.
Government officials need to realize hat getting words on paper doesnt solve the problem. Its execution and results that matter. I that department, government has zero credibility. Promises arent good enough anymore. Anybody that trusts only words on paper after the 1986 amnesty is a fool.
The only betrayal George Bush is guilty of is that of not enforcing the laws he has sworn to uphold. He has chosen to ignore the existing laws on the books. That is not to be taken lightly.
God bless President Bush and all his family.
