I signed on to post my own vanity but yours is much nicer.

Mine would have included a line something like this:

The Immigrationbots are unreasonable, and would prefer to use their keyboards to spew at Bush. When he gives them the beginnings of what they have asked for explicitly, their response is not "OK, good beginning, let's work," but "You didn't give us all we wanted, so we aren't playing."

For some reason folks around here are unwilling to call these people what they are. They are not interested in the hard, boring, adult work that would require them to sit down and discuss real world issues and methods of achieving our common goals. They'd rather strut and use their blogs and posts to call the most powerful man on Earth names, all the while demanding our national problem be solved right now, instantly, 100% their way.

These same people quote Ronald Reagan on their website, never addressing the fact that George Bush as of this moment has done far more to address this problem than Reagan ever did--except that Bush is just trying for an unwise Amnesty law, while Reagan SIGNED one.

The Minutemen as recently as LAST MONTH asked for National Guard to be put on the ground.

A month later, Bush delivered.

Now they say that's not enough.

Immigrationbots have been saying all along that a wall needs to go up.

Yesterday on Limbaugh Cheney went on the record saying walls/fences will go up.

Now they say that's not enough.

In 1973, anti-abortion forces demanded Roe v. Wade be overturned. Over THIRTY YEARS LATER that still hasn't happened, but Bush is trying through his SCOTUS choices.

You folks expect the situation to instantly alter, though this problem has taken over the headlines only in the last month.

Sorry. You're not some special class that needs to be tended to instantly. You have to WORK, not whine, not sit out votes, like all the rest of us.

Welcome to the adult world.

I don't know if they are unreasonable, many are just frustrated. Last year, I passed along what someone in Washington told me about ANWR, that it was a LOCK. It wasn't. When it was removed from the Budget bill, I was ready to leave the GOP. Instead, I had a beer. Beer has a wonderful, calming quality. You cant stay angry gulping a cold one, unless something is really wrong with you.

I would say "I feel their pain" but that would probably piss them off.

Yes, they asked for the National Guard to be used in INTERCEPTING illegal aliens. Not "surveillance and support role". So Bush delivered a smoke-screen instead. Hopefully the House will remain steadfast against the Senate when it goes to conference.
