Would to God that time is OVER for Bush and this immigration crap.

The man's zeal for this atrocity is worthy of a far better cause. As it is, he is worse than I ever imagined.

May the bill go down in FLAMES!!! Either that or we will as a country.

It is deeply important to the president, a former Texas governor who sees the status quo on immigration as a failure for the nation and a looming disaster for his party. It is seen as a major legislative victory within reach. And it is seen as urgent — now or never for him, most likely.”

Yes, it is a disaster for the party, but not for the reasons he thinks. 6 years of lack of enforcement and lax border security, a tin ear to concerns of the grassroots, and an overeagerness to do the wrong thing on amnesty, and we have a divided and disspirited Republican base.

My anger
at this president
is so extreme
that the things
I want to say
are way beyond
what even I
will speak.

I voted for him twice also, and I thought he was for the most part CONSERVATIVE. The Republican Party are a bunch of pansies.

If he’s not careful, his legacy will be the destruction of the Republican party ... and the infliction of permanent, lasting damage on the American republic.

I hate to say it, but Kerry would never risk his neck for a bill like this-this is a ‘gift’ from Bush. However, we will never get principled leaders if we are not willing to vote third party. The GOP is now just as lousy as the Democratic Party.

The President is a traitor.

His Oath of Office was to swear to uphold the Constitution.

U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion;”

He is not only not doing this, he is actively working against it. How is this not treasonous activity?

Maybe we should be contacting our Representatives about bringing Articles of Impeachment?

Shameful and dead wrong. I just don’t understand why he can’t hear the voices of the nation. We don’t want this!

I voted FOR him twice. No one needed to convince me. I hoped that a ‘pub congress would be conservative. Boy, was I wrong.

Me too. I was happy about his tax cuts and his stance on the WOT, but I never dreamed he would actually succeed in this immigration nonsense. I suppose I under-overestimated him.

Jorge W. has a big problem. He wants amnesty. The country doesn't.

Oh, he hears. We may not want this, but he does, for his various reasons. He is the decider after all. That’s why he said that you and the rest of us “don’t want to do what is right for America.”

Doesn’t seem to matter if they are, they are so pompus in their opinion of themselves.

Yeah - you should have stuck with Weird Al and Ketchup Boy.

Maybe if either one of these were elected, conservatives would've been more watchful about what the adminstration was doing instead of giving the Prez the benefit of the doubt as happened time and time again with Bush.

Maybe conservatives will be more careful next time. I highly doubt it. The only thing most conservatives seem interested in these days is winning elections. They don't really seem to care what happens afterward, except when it's too late.

Example: In June 2004, Bush signed the Social Security Totalization Agreement with Mexico that would allow Mexican illegal aliens and their families back home to collect US Social Security benefits. How many emails expressing your outrage did you send to the White House before the election in November? By voting for Bush in 2004, you gave your tacit approval to what he's doing now.
