HOUSTON (AP) — President George W. Bush told a group of Texas reporters Friday that he regretted immigration policies were not reformed while he was in office.

"I'm very disappointed that it didn't pass," he said in an interview with correspondents from his home state. "I'm very worried about the message that said, 'Republicans are anti-immigrant.'"

Bush just tried to get you a good deal on immigration when he could, and you are to stupid to know it. Their were never enough votes to override a Dem veto!! NEVER!! There was never going to be a harsh illegal immigration bill.

Now you have Obama!!! See what he and Pelosi do with immigration and there aren't even enough Republicans with RINOS to stop it.

Get on the phones with your DC legislators and demand border enforcement and security. The next amnesty bill is coming soon. Be ready to raise hell.

Anyone that would call the President a piece of trash is a fool. You are fixing to get an object lesson in what a piece of trash is...you should already know after eight years of the Bent One.

Too bad Bush was so busy pandering to the globalists, La Raza lobbyists, and NWO turds to actually, oh, I dunno...DO HIS JOB AND ENFORCE BORDER SECURITY.

When he moves back to Dallas, reality will set in. The entire city, including the public health care system, and education system, are overrun by illegals.

You are an so wrong. Most Americans support the border secured and no amnesty provisions. There is more than enough political cover to do the right thing.

Bush did nobody a favor except Mexican lawbreakers.

Bump.

Note the sarcasm in my tagline. I used it a few places to make a point and not a single Bush supporter caught its irony nor even challenged it.

It is a ludicrous situation to continue to support that guy.

I cannot think of a nation anywhere on this planet that would have experienced the entrance of illegal foreigners on its soil, followed by something like over 4,000 murders or accidental deaths of very own citizens at the hands of these illegal entrants, and then the leader of that country that allowed such a swarm of lawlessness would be THANKED openly and with a straight face for "keeping us safe".(sic)

It is the most ludicrous think I can think of.

A Japanese prime minister staying in office after 8 years when North Koreans killed 4,000 Japanese from Kyushu to Hokkaido. The President of Italy keeping his seat after 8 years in which 4000 Italians were killed by itinerant Albanians.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE (BUSH WORSHIPPERS).

Here are the questions they cannot answer. They REFUSE when challenged:

a) 4,000 or more Americans died since 2001 when he took office, with a continued open border situation and lack of massive deportations, with multiple efforts to legalize swarms in one fell swoop, thousands of criminals included. Were these deaths of these Americans no longer with us but now six feet under or scattered to the winds, with grieving families left behind, President Bush's fault?

(if yes, his fault, then do you still support him as president?)

(if no, not his fault, then whose fault is it and why is it not his fault?)

Or do you do like most and just ignore the deaths completely because it is an uncomfortable topic and tarnishes your hero?

NO WE DON'T!!

What WE NEED are viable conservatives who run for office, conservatives to vote in primaries (instead of sitting at home griping about "hoping to find a 100% pure candidate" - like themselves, perchance?) and then dropping some cash in the candidate's coffers, yes even if 70% of the conservative population only gave $5.00 IF that's all they could afford, then working like Hell (as the dims do)to get out the votes and going to the polls to vote.

There's no mystery about winning elections regardless what the dims and RINOs say, it's about hard work and putting your money where your mouth is. Who cares if you donate $50 or $100 bucks or more and your guy loses, at least you've tried (and your candidate did too.)

The real problem with many, if not most conservatives out in the ranks - they won't pony up with any of their money to win elections. Oh sure, they'll drop the whatever to the Party but rarely donate to a guy with a conservative message. Then if the guy does win a Primary, DC RNC sends out some mod/lib to "manage" the campaign.

The candidate listens and obeys the "manager" and they lose. Big surprise!!!!
