Bush is completely and totally out of touch with his base.

He has more support in the illegal immigrant community than he does in the GOP base.

It is so sad to see this happen.
We all fought so hard 6 or 7 years ago.
What happened?

Yep.

And his father had more support in Kuwait in 1992 in the end.

Bush doesn’t understand illegal means illegal and no means no. He’s just confused about who he was elected to represent. I’m beginning to wonder if he thinks he’s President of Mexico.

W is also confused about whether the US is a Nation of Laws,or not.

He also doesn't seem to understand Spanish (Vigilante= Watchman).

I’ve started sending back the RNC donation requests with NO AMNESTY! written with a big black Sharpie across the page.

This one was supposed to be a “birthday gift” for W and included a card for a personal message. It got the same treatment.

How many times do conservatives have to be betrayed by Bushes before they get the message? I say two strikes and you are out for the Bush family.

"What part of NO dont you understand."

He understands perfectly. He just doesn't care. "Let them eat cake".

I'd rather he follow Ike's lead on dealing with illegal immigrants, myself.
