In a perfect world, of course: the posting of this story would mean that all the online nellies, yellowbellies and faux "conservatives" all darting about on these boards and whinnying to the effect that "Bush is a war criminal from HELL!" and suchlike would finally just settle the @#$% down, for a moment or two; take a deep, communal breath; go to their respective Happy Places, within themselves; and cease embarrassing themselves (and this board) with their pop-eyed hysterics.

As I said: in a perfect world...

I have no idea why Bush is doing this.

Hill Cool to Bush Immigration Plan

As it should be. I guess Congress is useful for something every now and then.

I support Bush, BIG TIME, but I can't get behind this,

Thank You.

GWB, he floats like a Butterfly, stings like a Bee, rumble young man, rumble...

I kinda feel sorry for the Bush haters, they are missing a really great show. Just free your mind, man...

In a perfect world, you'd not be so quick to denigrate folk entitled to post their opinions on FR, no matter how distasteful you may find their opinions and subsequently characterize the posters -- in your perfect world.

That's a classic. Thanks.

"Hill cool" Well of course they would be its their voting base that G.W.B. is giving a free ride to they aren't gonna raise heck about that !

Please help me understand this. Leaders are suppose to lead. So should a leader put forth this crapola with the anticipation that another enity (Congress)will scrub it - - or does a leader put forth a program that protects & enhances Americans that can pass Congress? This proposal is not worth a 30 second thought. These trial balloons were a benchmark of the Klintoons. Why should this Cowboy incorporate their playbook? I say send all in Washington on the next 1 way voyage to Mars.

Re: Hill Cool to Bush Immigration Plan

Gad! I was hoping this was Hillary's response to W's saying she should leave the country for good...

Building on Digger's comment:
Possible "strategery"?: The President proposes fully expecting Congress to examine it minutely and allowing a dem partisan vote to ultimately scrub it, he looks compassionate and moderate (compared to the dem alternative), those opposing his proposal appear either heartless and/or extremist...election over, 2nd term begins. I sincerely doubt that conservatives will be changing their votes to a dem candidate, even if they do dislike the President's proposal.

[greenwolf]

In a perfect world, George Bush would not wake up in the morning, walk out the door, and immediately step into a pile of elephant dooodoo like this one for no rational reason. I am VERY glad the election is not next week.

I don't know anybody who isn't pissed over this one.

"[...] stands little chance of enactment [...]"

Seems to me the same sort of thing was said about CFR, don't worry the SC will overturn it.

[Huck]

Next we'll be told not to worry, the SCOTUS will never allow it.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Keep the pressure on! If they won't stop this insanity, vote them out!

Shut the Door in '04 Vote Tancredo!

[Redcloak]

W's a bright guy; but, every so often, he gets a bee in his bonnet and hauls off with something really stupid. Babbling about renewing the Assault Weapon ban was one of those stupid attacks. This slow-motion amnesty is another. We're all left hoping that the Republicans in Congress will stand between W these brain farts. (And counting on that pack of linguini-spined marvels for anything gives my the screamin' willies!) I suppose that they could come to the rescue and save W from himself, but they didn't when he went stupid over prescription drugs. Nor did they keep him from getting soft-headed over Teddy Kennedy's education bill. Nor did they prevent his Campaign Finance idiocy.

Like I said, W's a bright guy. He's spot on probably 90% of the time... But it's that 10% you have to worry about. A little stupid goes a long way.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

They'll put this thing off until after the '04 elections. It'll be up to us to do the homework on our incumbents to see how they're likely to vote. In which case, we'll probably have to prepare to vote them out of office.

If Shrub gets in, it'll be a done deal!

Does anyone remember which site has a report card on our politicians to see how they voted on issues?
