"President Bush's policy on immigration was similar to that of previous presidents" _________________________

Yea...do nothing, amnesty, surrender the southern border.

"any man who can drive the terrorists to applaud a Democratic victory surely is doing something right."

The first several paragraphs were repeated. I thought I was going nuts at first. Now I'm convinced.

"As for Buchanan and Limbaugh, they so worked up the nation about immigration that they almost hand-delivered the Hispanic vote to the Democrats."

Rush spoke out against the amnesty legislation that was in the senate, but he never went after the president on it. Not sure where the author is coming from, lumping Limbaugh in with Buchanan.

It might be noted that for years Rush has daily defended the President. Rush said he was 'tired of carrying the water' for Republicans who didn't show enough spine to win the election. And Rush has been 100% right on the immigration issue. This is not the time to attack the Right's leading voice. That audience of 20 million listeners didn't let anyone down. Most voted. And they mostly voted for conservative candidates. We lost the election this time with the help of the MSM. They won this one. But, another day is coming...

Several times I have seen the comment that Newt lost his nerve at the crucial point in the impeachment proceedings.

How stupid.

Newt realized that between Clinton and Al Gore, we had better leave it at Clinton.

Time has certainly proved that to be the right decision.

[Just A Nobody]

once the Republicans stop the bloodletting, they might get around to helping the President manage a tough war and the critical issues we confront as a nation.

Had they gotten around to that in the past 6 years, they may very well have still been in the majority.

Only George Bush can solve George Bush's problems.

Good article.

I see everything twice!

Actually, probably a good thing, it makes a valid point.

[linn37]

I agree. President Bush has been a very strong leader even while taking hits from his own party.

[claudiustg]

You're getting your opinions from the Republican echo chamber. :^)

[Seaplaner]

I support Dubya. He's a bright guy (despite media portrayals), he's an honest and decent fellow, he understands the dreadfully serious risks of the war that the terrorists have declared on us, he has a refreshingly keen understanding of economics, and he supports our military 100 percent.

There can never be a president in office for 6 years that anyone can agree with all of the time. And, respectfully, I disagree with President Dubya on immigration (however, I reserve some judgment as he may know some intel or have some civil dis-behavior models about which we are not aware.)

Notwithstanding the above, I'm a proud Bush supporter. And, I'm continually amazed at his strengh, courage, and the fact that he never, ever takes his eye of his top priority of keeping us Americans safe.

Thanks for the important post Vinny. I needed to write this.

After all, any man who can drive the terrorists and single issue conservatives to applaud a Democratic victory surely is doing something right.

"But kicking a man when he's down has never been a sign of character. Republicans and Democrats might observe the example of Ronald Reagan. After beating Jimmy Carter in 1980, Reagan wanted desperately to reach out to the defeated President in a graceful way. Even as he prepared to take the oath of office, Reagan looked to Carter for news about the hostages in Iran in the hope that he could publicly credit Carter for securing their release. That's class.

President Bush is a good (but stubborn) man who has faced unprecedented calamities that would have tested even our greatest presidents. In fact, every president faces political setbacks and stands accused of major mistakes, particularly during time of war."


Bears repeating.......

As for Buchanan and Limbaugh, they so worked up the nation about immigration that they almost hand-delivered the Hispanic vote to the Democrats. What made this issue a national emergency all of sudden? Actually, nothing.

Actually, 3000 dead people on 9/11/01.

[GregH]

President Bush has been a good President delivering lots of things for conservatives especially with the two excellent Supreme court appointments. In his second term Bush has lost the ability to fight back and go on the attack at his opponents and instead is contend to play the nice guy. Nice guys dont do well in politics.

[Blackirish]

W's a failure. You cannot be for national security and be against securing the border.

Jeez I work with a 2 lefties...a liberal dyche ..and a bitter old school Irish dim. They both say "get it over with already and build a fence."

AND THESE ARE HARD CORE LEFTIES!!!!!
