President Bush yesterday said he will team up with Democrats to pass an immigration bill with a guest-worker program that his own party blocked this year, and his Republican opponents predicted a bloody intraparty fight but said they cannot stop such a bill from passing.
"We will fight it, we will lose. It will go to the Senate, it will pass. The president will sign it. And it will happen quickly because that's one thing they know they can pass," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican and chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus, who had led the opposition to a guest-worker plan. "I am absolutely horrified by this prospect, but I have to face reality."
Mr. Bush supported a bipartisan majority in the Senate this year that passed a broad immigration bill including a new worker program and citizenship rights for millions of illegal aliens. But House Republicans blocked those efforts, calling them an amnesty, and instead forced through a bill to erect nearly 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"But there are leadership within the Republican party that do! And WE didn't elect dims, Bush successfully divided the party and as hard and fast as the message to vote got out, they couldn't push faster than Bush continuing to bring up his shamnesty and he is to blame for the division AND loss. He's a tool for the OBL and risked everthing, including the WOT, for it. Makes me sick. The OBL must be stopped."

You make an excellent point...one that the B-bots just can't stand to admit. Bush is dismantling the Republican party, piece by piece, bit by bit.
"Also, maybe the truth is we can't win without Hispanics."
67% of Hispanics voted for the Dumocrats this time......
KarLaRazaRove is STILL wiping the Dirty Sanchez off of his upper lip! All that asskissing got them nowhere.
"... bend over."
Bush was going to get this bill regardless of which party was in control they where just waiting for the election to be over.
Crap like this is what got them kicked out. They don't listen to the people just their rich business friends.
If the Republicans want to stop this bill they can but they don't want to. If the democrats can stop the judges with 37 democrats the republicans can stop this bill.
Maybe the bush bots will realize that it's been Bush who has been pushing this amnesty bill all along.
He's no conservative nor has he any conservative values. Both parties are sold out to big business and big money.
He/they could care less what happens to the party or country as long as they get their flood of cheap labor.

Yes, and as intended:

"Our biggest challenge will be to separate my uncle from the rest of the Republican Party."
“‘This is a President who represents the diversity of our society, who we can count on to change the Republican Party to represent our views.’" … He told the rally his mother had instilled him the values of Cesar Chavez, the Chicano activist who fought for the rights of migrant farmworkers in the United States. ‘She told me we have to fight for our race, we have to find the leaders who represent us,’ he said in fluent Spanish.’
- George P. Bush
It legalized 3 million immediately. It effectively brought in MILLIONS more than that.
Obviously not.
I don't think he ever was a conservative the way he has allowed dems like kennedy to write the education bill that increased spending what 200 perscent with no increase in results and no accountability of teachers. Has failed to push any issues dear to conservatives like a ban on partial birth abortion. Etc. Etc.
What the president and democratic congress are fixin' to do now make 86 look like a dry run.
The Republican leadership is apparently still clueless I see, even after the whipping.
I would say that LBB (Lyndon Baines Bush) got just that.
Naaa, that was the first item out of the mouths of the democrats communists... sensible gun laws. Like 26,000 existing laws are not enough to have "sensible" gun "control."
Oh, BTW, if anyone still has not switched on to the columnist nature of the platform of the "democrats" have a little look at the front page of the Communist Party USA website.

The National Board of the Communist Party USA released the following appeal on Sept. 25:
The Nov. 7 midterm elections are less than six weeks away. The stakes have never been so high: Control of the House and Senate and governorships nationwide. A recent poll shows that 75 percent of voters are disgusted by the Republican majority House and Senate, the highest disapproval rate since 1994. They are frustrated at Bush’s endless Iraq war, by Republican cronyism and corruption, tax giveaways to the rich, cutbacks in vital services, and criminal negligence in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Sounds reeeeeal familure! Just like the "Evening News with Mr. Barfer Braindead, reporting" Pretty much item for item what you see in the "news." But ya gotta break a few eggs to see if they are rotten, right? So now the system is offically "broken." We now need to replace the "broken parts" to get it running again.
But hey, don't take my word for it, the communists were foaming at the mouth even before the votes were completely counted...
Good Night for Gun Control Advocates
By Susan Jones

November 08, 2006
(CNSNews.com) - The nation's leading gun control group called Tuesday "a very good night for all of us who want to do something to reduce gun violence in America."
Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, noted that in key races throughout the nation, "more and more supporters of sensible gun laws" were winning.
And down the path of fascists gun control, bans and "registration" (confiscation) we will be agoing unless the American people are fed up enough with the same old tired krap the communists will come up with in the next two years. Cause folks, the commies do NOT have any magic answers up their sleeves. They will trot out the same bs from the late `80s and call it "progressive."
America needs to recognize it for what it really is... communism. And that is precisely how it needs to be treated, with war.
As was evidenced by the marches and the insulting posters they carried of Bush, it appears the Rove/Norquist immigration "bring in the illegals to the GOP" fold failed.
Q: What were some of the surprises about the Latino vote in this election?
A: I think the big surprise when it comes to the Latino vote in yesterday’s election was the large turnout. For the first time in the history of American elections 8% of all voters were Hispanic. That’s the highest percentage that the exit polls have ever recorded. The previous high I believe was 7% in the 2000 presidential election.
The second big news from yesterday’s results was that the Latino vote moved strongly towards the Democratic Party at the national level. According to the exit polls as reported in the Wall Street Journal today, more than 70 % of Hispanics voted for Democratic candidates while only 26% voted for Republicans. That’s a very significant shift when you compare the results of 2004 when only 59% of Hispanics voted for the Democratic candidate and 40% of Hispanics voted for President Bush and the Republicans.

Bush wasted no time with this announcement.
With his amigos, the Democrats, in charge, he can now sell out the United States more easily.
He is thrilled, no doubt.
If they want to be booted their next term all they have to do is support amnesty. Some coming up for re-election may take notice as well. I think amnesty will be a hard sell at this point. Supporting it then as far as ever wishing to regain the conservative vote again would be political suicide.

>>GW Bush is not, and never has been a conservative but he is well on his way to destroying the Republican Party through an ill-conceived and unnecessary foriegn war, idiotic uncontrolled domestic spending and an inane desire to please the political opposition while poking his finger in the eyes of the folks who supported him.<<
Do you realize that you would have been banned if you said those same words three days ago?
It's a shame that what you say is true.
My guess is that the Mods are on heqavy prescription medications this week. FR certainly has leaned over towards allowing the truth to be said since the election. Myself, I am very glad to see it.
If he'd listened to 'We The People', and got serious about stopping the illegals from coming into this country and rounding up illegals already here and deporting them, the republicans would still hold congress, in my opinion. People were ticked and had no way to redress their grievances. They weren't being listened to!! They did the only thing left to them. BOOTED THEM OUT!
