I believe the Congress did not listen to their constituents. Bush makes decisions with knowledge of a far bigger picture than we are privy to. I know he loves America and is doing the best he can.
Those on the local level needed to provide Bush with the tools (i.e. "the will of the people") to do what the people wished.
IMHO, either the people didn't show their will enough, or they didn't think their representatives heard their message--so they either didn't vote, or did something stupid and shortsighted like voting for a Dem.
Sure I can, but it is common knowledge, do a little reading and inform yourself, you won't look so foolish on these threads.
Open borders, amnesty and stay the course cost us both houses. The major conservative commentators and many Paul Revere freepers predicted this, while the Gw is the second coming crowd flamed away.
If you go back and read on this forum, even some of this crowd was wishing GW would just be quiet instead of calling for a willing worker for every job. The day after the election he announce at his press conference that he was sure he could now get comprehensive immigration reform through the congress. Talk about poking a finger in the eye of his base........... I voted for exactly one Democrat in my life, so don't blame this on me.
