Purist ideologues are a danger to our political system.
Did he?

I realized that. I also thought that Bush might have some ideas of his own on the subject, and provide some leadership but he did not. He simply let Teddy Kennedy define amnesty. Bush is now not arguing for his vision of fair immigration policy because he did not really have one. Instead, he is attempting to do the heavy lifting of those like Kennedy who wish him nothing but the worst. I also thought Bush might do a good job nominating Supreme Court Justices. The first one was a good one, but his second one was a doozy, Harriet Mears. I take no pleasure in the failures of Bush and the Republicans, but they had the WH and congressional majorities for six years and have very little to show for it. Now at this low point is no time to reach out to the likes of Teddy Kennedy on any issue.
That's an asinine statment especially used in context to your post!
I didn't stay home but I sure left a space or two on the ballot blank in protest because I could not vote for the RINO of the election shoved down our throats by GOP media apologist spinmeisters and the RNC. If a person does not deserve to be elected then they don't deserve it. It's just that simple. Don't vote for them and take the loss and re-build quickly.
I don't care who's party they are and I sure don't care about for the sake of the party voting. That is what keeps RINO's in office and our nation in a mess. I left the ballot blank the last time Bill Frist had ran and I left it blank for his replacement Chattanooga Chaffee. I voted Independent against Bush's hand picked Senator Lamar Alexander who's claim to fame was being a Big Government shill Cabinet Member for Poppy Bush and before that not being a bad a governor as the previous felon he replaced.
Has it ever occurred to you that a lot of the problem now is those handpicked RINO's "Yes Men" Bush himself shoved down peoples throats? Remember Bush himself pushed his senator pick Darling Arlen back in for another term when a conservative who deserved the seat ran against him. Time after time Bush has done this to purosely Rockefellerize the GOP. When the Conservatives running against Bush Long Time Family Friends did win the primaries Bush became dis-interested in the race real quick. GW Bush has nearly destroyed the GOP by splitting it down the middle with his liberal policies pandering to the DEMs namely Ted Kennedy.
Bush lied or sold us out about a bunch of things including nation building but yes he has been pro-illegal allien from day one. The urban legends created about what a great conservative Bush was before the 2000 elections in places like this forum was staggering. No one dared challange it despite the proof in his own words. If a person had read the text of what he said Bush was about as liberal as Al Gore and even stated the very fact himself to the nation but the party ticket punchers didn't believe that either even with Bush himself stating it. He did not get elected either time on my vote.
The same thing is happening again this election as well. A mayor who just happened to be in office on 9/11 or an ex-senator whom after the senate trial many in here were calling for his resignation due to his bungling and disinterest in hearings he chaired with John Glenn may run. Many actually cheered his I'm not seeking reelection announcement. Few will likely admit it though. Records? What record? By golly he looks good on TV that's what counts these days as being worthy for office. Records? We don't want to remember their stinking voting records. He's a Republican dadgumit.
There simply are better choices out there IF People would stop being slaves to the Republican Party and their Globalist Liberals running it these days. I vote GOP ONLY if the person running for office actually deserves it based on record and stands on issues.
