Why Isn’t Bush On The Border? (Idiot Pat Buchanan Suggests Bush Impeachment! BARF ALERT!)

Pat has the hots for Huffington. This is his woo.....

[Borax Queen]

The fact is, President Bush used the word "vigilante" very carefuly, and I don't think he gets enough credit for the political savvy he has displayed in both using the word, and in the way he's blown off Conservatives over the issue (no, I don't like the way he's handling it, but I can give him credit for being the consumate politician).

Do you know who he was meeting with at the time he called the Minutemen vigilantes? He was definitely being the politician with other countries' presidents, as he was busy undoing our sovereignty.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Pat Buchanan once again simultaneously stating the facts and offending.

"Yet even Pat suggests this is the fault of this President? Are all of you almost as sick of him being blamed for everything as I am?"

I am sick of people apologising for Bush's negligence of the subject. During the Clinton era, this board was full of people howling about illegal immigration. Now we've had 5 years of a Republican President and Congress... and nothing has been done!!! Surely, in this day and age of terror, securing our own borders needs to be a top priority.

Death threats to any president will get your butt banned.

[Stu Cohen]

I agree with Pat, Bush should be impeached for not protecting (American) national sovereignty. That is his #1 priority.

I would rather he lie about affairs and close the border, then be honest and keep the things wide open.

What he is doing is not bringing dignity to the office.

[Stu Cohen]

Impeachment is obviously extreme

No it's not. It's both a high crime AND treason. I'd say it's why impeachment exists.

[Stu Cohen]

Pat Buchanan once again simultaneously stating the facts and offending.

90% of Freepers wouldn't know an actual conservative if one walked up and grabbed them by the nuts.

[fallujah-nuker]

"Exactly. It's amazing that, 5 years into his presidency, Bushbots still refuse to hold him accountable for ANYthing, preferring to blame Clintax for all our problems, while Bush continues to ignore our borders."

Very good point, someone who does not take responsibility is by definition irresponsible. Harry Truman said "the buck stops here," with Bubba and Dubya its "the buck never got here, what buck, never saw the buck?"

[ElRushbo]

Right. I think we all have to admit Jorge Bush has been a massive failure overall. Obviously, he is better than the alternatives, but I had great expectations for him and the GOP Senate. He really had a shot to make some positive permanent changes for America.

While I will remember him for his tax cuts and his War on Terror/Iraq which I strongly support, I will also remember him as the president who sucked up to Ted Kennedy w/ the Education Bill, didn't veto McCain/Fiengold, caved on the estate tax, and let millions of parasites (Mexicans) walk freely across our borders-- and then give them amnesty!

GWB had a shot to keep America great and restore it's honor after Clinton, but he has failed. Hillary will win in '08 (a blow out reminiscent of 96)

America is doomed.

[judgeandjury]

More anti Iraq war talk from Buchanan. His hatred of President Bush must be eating his insides up for him to belittle the sacrifices our troops are making in Iraq to defend us from an enemy who has attacked us on our soil and vowed to destroy us.

99.75% of Americans don't give a damn about Pat Buchanan and don't care where he stands on any issue.

The vileness of this little man will never end.

Your obsessive fixation on Pat Buchanan will probably never end.

[WoofDog123]

"Are you saying Bush supports open borders?"

IF we judge him by his actions, then absolutely I say that.

Do you disagree?

[WoofDog123]

also, at the time, the alternative was Gore. It wasn't a hard choice for me, despite all that is said above.

[eeriegeno]

I agree with Buchanan on this issue. If GW Bush can't tighten up the borders to stop ILLEGAL immigration, especially after 9/11, then I feel that I have wasted my vote twice..........

[nikola]

I'd support my representative if he decided to vote for an impeachment. Bush is a traitor and has sold us out to globalists. He's not a conservative, if anything, he's a Bonesman.

[ladyinred]

I am not apologizing for Bush. I am disgusted by the remarks of Pat and others. I am a native Californian, and I know about illegals okay. If I had my way, the borders would have been closed on Sept 11, 2001, but that is most likely not even possible. The point is, no one has ever done anything, and were they impeached?

[ARCADIA]

The point is, no one has ever done anything, and were they impeached?

So what is the point? Should we curl up into a fetal position and fade to apathy? Why bother to elect a "conservative" Congress, Senate, and Executive, if nothing will be done. If this is what it means to vote Republican, I say: let the Democrats have at it and at least my hands will remain clean.

[Reagan Man]

Pat Buchanan has been off the conservative/GOP reservation on some key issues in the last several years. But on this issue Pat is absolutely right. The President, along with the Congressional GOP, have done nothing over the last 4 years and 7 months to address the problems associated with illegal aliens and immigration reform in general. Most of the posts on this thread and posts from this thread --- The Illegal Immigration Emergency: Would a Bill of Impeachment Wake-Up President Bush? --- show a majority of FReepers agree with Pat that the President has failed the American people on this specific issue.

Btw, Pat isn't calling for impeachment of PresBush, its a political tongue-in-cheek rhetorical jab. Fact remains. The GOP Congress and this President have to stop ignoring the people.

Frankly, I think the President isn't interested in solving this problem. He wants a majority of Hispanic's to vote Republican, while keeping the GOP's business support as strong as ever. Votes and cheap labor.

[A. Pole]

That's it Pat put the whole blame on President Bush! Where the heck were you when Clinton

Buchanan was criticizing Clinton too.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Buchanan was criticizing Clinton too.

When it comes to immigration Pat is an equal opportunity criticizer.
