I didn't say I would write in anyone. I was merely commenting on the idea that the President proposed this plan merely to start a dialog on the illegal immigration problem. A good number of people who want to support the President 100% seem to only be able to do so by veiling his bad proposals as some sort of hidden genius, unbeknownst to all but him.

I'm not saying you are doing so, mind you. I just disagree with the idea that he is doing it knowing it won't pass. I believe he really wants to have this plan in effect. It's another 40 billion for AIDS in Africa type plan. He is detached enough from the week to week struggle of most Americans (as are most of those in D.C.) that he doesn't seem to think twice about proposing a plan that benefits him personally/spiritually, but would be a burden to those of us who have to pay for it.

BTW, we do need your wall. Ask 'em to supersize it.

Maybe you're right. I just don't understand why Bush would want to upset so much of his base, and I figure pandering to voters makes sense. He is a politicias after all.
