Seeing as the President swore an OATH to "preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God," and since Article IV of that document REQUIRES him to protect the states from invasion, perhaps it is Bush who is no Republican.
Were there any "Kerry for President" signs there -- there might as well have been.
Stupid hyperbole. Do you think we control the entire State electorate? If the President's proposal goes any further, he might as well write off the entire southwest. He did this to himself and knew damn well what kind of response it was going to get from his base and chose to do it anyway. Best he learn that it was a mistake and get Congress to bail him out of it before the election. We are helping him learn that.
This is supposed to be a representative government "of the people." Given that 70% of the people want illegals deported, just who the hell do you think you are telling us to kowtow just because of a rotten proposal from the President? Blind and self-destructive obeiscance isn't going to get him re-elected.
B R A V O !
Is it possible the man's blind-spot is that huge??
And yet there are those who expect that we ALL follow Dubya over the cliff to prove our loyalty to him?? Isn't it the other way 'round?
With Rove and the neos goading him on, there's Dubya ill-advisedly pushing in his chips into the middle of the table trying to draw a 2-3-4-5-6 inside straight -- except ALL of the fours have been accounted for already.
The man's won some nice pots since he's became President, but this is one pot he ain't gonna win if he doesn't let US do the math for him.
Mega bump!!
