Nice try. Look at what Bush said:
"I fully understand what you're saying...
What part of "fully understand" do YOU not understand?
There is a huge resentment brewing in this country. The party that first grasps that and works to do something about it is the party that will hold power by 2008. If you consider that reality to be Bush-bashing, then go ahead and play kill the messenger.
As evidenced by the threads here on Free Republic. We are supposed to be the "conservative base" for the Republicans. That many here are having second thoughts about voting Republican in 2004 should be keeping the various party hacks awake nights.
What part of "And that's a significant issue that we've got to address in the country" do you not understand!?
He says he understands that it's a problem. He doesn't have a ready solution. Hell, no one does yet, short of closing the borders and prohibiting companies from employing people offshore.
The Dems sure as hell don't have a solution - they're too busy beating up on the Administration and cooking up all sorts of straw boogiemen to jump on. The Administration is at least honest enough to tell us that they don't have a solution yet; that they're trying to find a solution.
