Bush loses in Iowa

In so far as he's gotten a tax cut and kept us strong on National Defense. Those are important issues.

Two most important, IMO.

I may wind up voting for Bush, but will hold my nose when doing so.

Good. Think SCOTUS appointments. A democrat president will set this country to the left for the next 20 years and I think that'll doom us.

Our family strongly supported Bush. We feel betrayed.

The amnesty proposal (and its devastating impact on this country), failure to protect US borders, huge spending, the WMD fiasco, supporting McCain's pet project, the growing deaths of American's in Iraq, etc. will defeat Bush.

Maybe Bush is not interested in winning a second term and would much rather spend the time with Mexico's Fox.

"We're going to have to figure that problem out regardless of whether or not we have immigration. "

This President doesn't want to think about it...at all!

[B4Ranch]

We can't go much futher left than we are now!

It's not neutered, it's testicle lockbox.

[GigaDittos]

Yeah, he said he was everyone's president....remember? That includes the undocumented. That's okay, any Dem would have made them all instant US citizens and automatic members of the Democrat Party.

Guess that makes me a Bush-bashing Bushbot LOL

Mexico.

Please see the statistics from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics below:

"Number of people age 16 and over in the nation's labor force as of July 2003. Among the nation's workers are 78.2 million men and 68.4 million women.These men and women represent 66 percent of the adult population. http://www.bls.gov"

Even if your statistic is correct, the percentage of Mexican nationals and Americans is quite closs. If one corrects for illegal aliens being employed but not paying payroll taxes (no social security number), most likely, the percentage of Mexican illegals working would exceed the percentage of Americans.

I say we take the Dems behind the Capital and beat the shit outta them.

Kev, I completely ditto your comments. There is more that I like about Bush than what I dislike, and in the middle of a war on terror, where there are political forces, both left and right, that want us to surrender in that war, this is not an election where we can afford to get bent out of shape over one or two issues. I'm concerned about illegal immigration as well, and even if Bush's proposal is not the best response, frankly, there are too many other issues of greater importance which trump my concern about Bush's immigration proposal. I think we need to face the fact that those who are threatening to sit on their hands in this election over this single issue of immigration are very likely people who voted for Buchanan last time...They were not, and never have been, part of Bush's base.

LOL! Thank you for that! Made my day! :)

I'm just waiting for some loon to go off the deep end and say we're going to the moon or Mars to drill for oil so Halliburton can get what they were promised from "Bush, Inc.". I may have to don camouflage and lurk around DU to find that sorta tripe.

It's already happened. Some syndicated columnist - I want to say it was Clarence Page, but my net connection's acting up so I'm not going to go hunting for it; I'm just making this post and then getting away from this computer for the rest of the afternoon - put out an article a day or so ago making precisely that claim. I'll bet there's an FR thread somewhere making fun of it. If not, there ought to be.

You said it! You can share my line of thinking anytime! :-)

That would be on my "to-do" list as well. :-)

[BigSkyFreeper]

Hmmm. I'll Google that article here in a bit.

Your post 247. Excellent post. Mirrors my thoughts on the situation.

However my feeling has always been that he didn't care much either way about taking or losing the office. Even during the 2000 election fiasco, I felt like I was watching Weekend at Bernies. The big guns sweeped in, took care of business, dressed him up and threw him in front of the microphone.

It is very easy to forget he is who he is. He comes across as this plain spoken, down home Christian. The modest ranch when he could easily have a very palatial estate. The marriage to a woman he only dated for 6 months. All very scripted if you ask me. The freepers fall for the whole charade--hook, line and sinker.

Scary, scary stuff to know this could be the beginning of the end.

Off to read if anyone responded. Love your posts--you truly get it. KE
