Its all calculated...No one said Bush isnt smart. It is not going to go through congress. And look at the last line of the proposal. "CONGRESS" has to write the legislation. This is doomed before it even starts...

That's what I said on another thread, half joking. If Congress has to sort this out, it will never make it to the President's desk. And all he has to do is say he tried. Boo hoo.

Yes. The Republicans in Congress will stop this...just like CFR. Or, they will indeed stop it, and be painted as racist xenophobes by the Democrat media.

Karl Rove's genius has failed here.

You can't be serious?? Bush gone in four is a smart move??

[Pan_Yans Wife]

That makes me think that Bush once again was underestimated. He probably knew that Congress wouldn't go for this. I wonder if the House and Senate will both gain Republican seats due to this issue alone?

There is a side of me that believes it is --- that this is all a game of sorts --- but why? Why risk losing votes? Illegals can only vote if there is major election fraud going on. Bush can't be honest if he's hoping to win an election by fraud. I realize the Bush-Gore election was very close --- but I would think Bush would instead be attempting to clean up the elections.

Yeah, just like CFR and Prescription Drugs never got through congress. Franklin Delano Bush leaned on the conservatives and got his way. They will not stand up to him no matter what he wants done.

Bush isn't stupid. That's an act to get people to underestimate him. He is cunning, ruthless, and so slick he makes Clinton look like an amateur. He will get what he wants here. The only question is can the conservatives modify the plan enough to minimize the damage this will do to the country.
