Hey there, my FRiend...good to see you again!!

"Rove is calculating we're more scared of Kerry than the flood of illegals. It may be true. But there are states where they might end up wishing they'd gone after every vote."

I know it's cynical of me, but I can see a scenario wherein Dubyuh is proposing this to reach out to the Hispanic vote, but he knows the House will NEVER allow it to become law!! I for one will go ballistic if this ever comes outta committee in the Senate, and I know many who realize what bad policy this is and will do the same!! House-members will know they are potentially sacrificing their seat if they accept this "Non-Amnesty" Amnesty program of Dubyuh's!! It's bad, ill-conceived policy and will NEVER become law!!

Well, I guess he might. And he only wants the AWB passed so he can sign it because he knows the House will stop that.

Of course, there's always a chance that he really does want the AWB and alien amnesty. Just like he wanted the National Endowment for the Art and Kennedy's No Child Left Behind and the Department of Education and the Pill Bill and through-the-roof deficit spending.

Does it occur to some of you that this isn't some secret conservative code he's sending but that he actually wants the things he says he wants, that he intends to pass them?

Freedom of speech becomes a strange thing when we start to assume that everyone is saying the opposite of what they mean. It's effectively the end of meaningfull discourse.

If this is all true, then there is no reason to listen to anything he says. If he says he is against something, you all agree that he's against it. If he says he's for something that you don't want, you just say that he's really truly secretly sneakily craftily against it and how brilliant it is for him to lie to you and everyone else this way.

I dunno, Slim... Does that scenario really make sense? You tell me. I've misplaced my decoder ring.
