You obviously don't know much about politics to make a statement like this.
Bush had no choice but to sign this bill. If he vetoed it, he would have been committing political suicide. The democrats and liberal media would make sure that everyone knew that Bush vetoed a border security bill. His popularity would drop overnight from the 80% range to under 50%.
I know you love Bush, but you shouldn't let that keep you from thinking logically about matters concerning national security. The USA and its security is much more important than Bush and his popularity.
Now you tell me why, when that SAME logic is applied to why Bush signed CFR, he's maligned as not being principled?
It isn't about being a Bush bot, Bush lover, or whatever else you want to label me. It's about having faith in the President. It's about the double standard and the knee-jerk reactions to words that never come to fruition. And I will admit, my support for the President has waived quite a bit lately. But I will always hold on to the faith that there is a bigger picture that we don't always see. Had he vetoed the bill based on that one part that was left out, then I'd be joining the rest of the regular bashers. But it didn't, and I ain't complaining. Call it simple if you want. I call it being patient and getting all the facts before reacting.
