“Except for the observation that Bush II “did NOT sign an immigration amnesty bill”—he had his pen ready and even took the time to taunt us a second time...”
So you prefer a president you think is with you all the time who nominates and gets confirmed Justice O’Connor to one you worry is not quite as much with you but who nominates and withdraws Hariet Miers and replaces her nomination that of with Justice Alito, when presented with conservative objections.
Bush was ready to sign an amnesty bill though one intended to give conservative illegal immigrants citizenship, but when faced with conservative opposition stepped up border enforcement.
I think I will go with results over style. Anyone can of course go the other way if they like. I am not sure it will get them the kind of results they are hoping for. At least it has not in my lifetime.
Just because you want to re-write history, that doesn’t mean the rest of us have to swallow your revisions.
Bush was pushing amnesty with everything he had. He was totally invested in it, and I don’t know what world you live in, but illegals are NOT “conservative”.
Bush also spent money like a drunken sailor.
