President Bush is not going to repudiate his amnesty proposal.He campaigned, quietly, on his vast compassion for illegal aliens.
I believe President Bush to be a man of his word, and I do not expect him to back down on this issue.
He is wrong, and will not be re-elected.
He misunderestimated the tipping point, and as much as I admire his actions after 91101, he has made far too many fatal errors in domestic policy to be retained as POTUS.
Pity, but there it is.

I hate to say it, but I'm sure you're right. Bush has painted himself into a corner. He's alienated his base, and he's bound and determined to
continue alienating his base.
It really does remind me of how deaf his father was to GOP base protests over his violation of his "no new taxes" pledge during the 1990 budget deal. We've been told over and over again how "sensitive" GW is about not repeating the mistakes that made his father a one-term President. And yet now we have this stupid, stupid amnesty plan.
It must be something genetic....

I suspect you're right.
