Bush eyes Democrats for help on amnesty

You must face reality; amnesty is coming. I do not like it, but I don't believe we will be able to stop it. The Repubs are stupid. The Hispanics will most likely vote with the Dems and guarantee permanent minority status.

Bush's legacy. The demise of the republican party.

I for one will not give the republicans one penny, ever again. The moderates won on Tuesday.

[RockinRight]

Is he really so cuddled up to illegals and the businesses hiring him that he's willing to throw away his own party's chances of ever winning an election again?

[RodgerD]

What an awful, awful President.

The worst thing that Bush can do to the GOP again is to sign a comprehensivie immigration reform bill. It will be opposed by the majority of House and Senate Reps so Bush will be undermining his own party. I can't recall a WH doing that except for Clinton's support of NAFTA.

If Bush really cared about the GOP, he would veto any immigration reform bill, i.e., amnesty or legalization of status. Besides being the right thing to do, this could be a winning issue for the Reps in 2008 as long as McCain isn't heading the ticket.

[RodgerD]

Yes. It appears so.

He isn't going to veto anything like that. This is what he has wanted for a long time. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the fence bill and only signed it because he knew it would never get built, that he could sign his scamnesty bill after the 2006 mid term elections. He could have done the right thing prior to the 2006 mid term elections and helped the republicans. He didn't, so why would he cave at this last hour when he finnaly can get what he wanted?

I understand how you feel. I am upset also. I just don't believe, pure conservatism would have made a difference. We are a center right country in my opinion. This is how the Dems won-by appealing to their base and the center right.

[nyconse]

Good luck. It will come from a Repub Pres, Dem and Repubs in congress. We can fight, but I tell you, they (all pols) are bound and determined to do this.

[nyconse]

They will govern as liberals which they probably are to begin with...they are moderate, conservatives only until election day.

[Uncle Hal]

I am afraid the author is right. Evidently the illegal issue did not resonate with voters. It will when the amnesty bill is passed. The horse is out of the barn.

[Netizen]

He didn't listen to the majority of the people in this country that were opposed to open borders and scamnesty. He put himself and his wants above all else. This became the hot button issue for a LOT of people, because he was pushing it so often. I think the republican would have held congress if he never had mentioned his illegal workers/scamnesty program.

[janetgreen]

He's a tool for the OBL and risked everthing, including the WOT, for it. Makes me sick. The OBL must be stopped.

Agree 100%. History will not be kind to GWB, unless it's Mexican history.

[Luke21]

This is rich, the Bushbots pointing fingers at everybody else because their hero wants to give away the store to Mexico.

[kabar]

IF

[steveyp]

And I would support whatever investigation the Dems want to do on Bush and his admin. if amnesty passes. If this comes to pass, I wouldn't mind if he did a perp walk.

[4Freedom]

"The question, how important is his illegal alien plan to him?"

It's everything.

Vicente has promised to buy him a new, red party dress and matching accessories when they go out to celebrate the passage of their amnesty plan.

LOL!

[steveyp]

I won't be impeaching him, the Dems will. The difference is I won't carry his water.

[durasell]

I don't see how the two issues are related.

[texastoo]

I just saw Bush and Calderone on TV. Calderone wants the U.S. to fund education in Mexico and not build a fence.


Calderone and the PAN leftests are the worst possible choices to run Mexico at this time. It looks like the little twit is asking for help in Oaxaca according to a spokes person named Lopez.
