Perhaps, Bush's immigration plan is merely a ploy for votes, knowing that it was never going to pass congress? The President may not be a rocket scientist, but he's not stupid either and quite pretty politically savvy.

I'm glad to hear that this crap will never pass congress. It's time to build a wall!

Not so politically savvy to propose a plan that alienates such a portion of one's political base that they are contemplating a write in.

I think that is exactly right. I think a similar ploy was used with the alleged renewal of the Assault Weapons Ban.

As much as I hate the stand on amnesty the President has taken, I do think he is an intelligent man. I respect him, I admire him and I thank him for being strong enough to stand firm on the War.

I know he has to appease people for votes on things I may disagree with. I know I can not have 100% of what I want.

But I think his immigration discussion was such a bad move, and I do fear it will cost him the Presidency.

I hope he can fix it up soon.

Yes, and it seems to have backfired on him...
