Bush has nothing to lose. He either does not care what he does to the party to which he is the titular leader or he is just plain stupid. Maybe he is both. The country is left depending on some Democrats in the House who are smarter than Jorge and understand that if they want to continue a career in elected office they better stay away from amnesty. The backlash and there will be backlash will be on House seats. I voted for Jorge twice and I am left trusting some House Democrats to act out of self-interest in order to stop what will be an incredible expansion of the social welfare state and totally destroy a middle class which does the right thing and believes in the rule of law.
Purist ideologues are a danger to our political system.
