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.
Time to get mad at Congress and the lock step Demodogs, not the Republicans and President here.
