"Kaloogian was very diplomatic when the audience booed Bush's illegal immigration plan. "

In other words he did NOT discourage the audience from booing the President.

Actually, he did.

Man, this is getting too easy with you.

No, Kaloogian did not discourage the audience from booing the amnesty plan. In fact, he made the point that the proponents of the plan can insist all they want that it is NOT 'amnesty' but it is... and as Kaloogian perfectly calls it, it is 'amnesty on the installment plan' - an amnesty plan that has these 3 year extension options.

His opposition was delivered in such a way that if Bush and Kaloogian were on a stage delivering their arguments and debating their points of view you'd have a landslide in favor of Kaloogian on the issue.

That doesn't mean Republicans don't like Bush on other issues, but obviously on this one, Kaloogian argues the Republican line.

You do know this was Vincente Fox's plan. I'm not trying to make an outlandish charge here. It was actually revealed in an interview in Time magazine. They were praising Fox for being the one who first came up with this plan... back when Bush was governor of Texas. And Fox tried to get Bush to help him push the plan in the U.S.

That's what Bush is now doing.

Bush is great in fighting terrorists. He's great in pushing for lower taxes. He's with the pro-life community in opposing abortion (albeit quietly).

But he is rather abysmal on immigration (and vetoing spending bills for that matter).

That makes him 10 times better than Kerry, but still wrong on those two issues (immigration and excessive spending). The congressional Republicans are wrong on spending too. And guess what - Kaloogian's been outspoken about this too! It makes him a great Republican. He actually fights for Republican beliefs and is not ashamed to hold them, even if the media doesn't like his views.
