You didn’t respond to my point. Wilson won on a strong anti-illegal immigration campaign. Immediately thereafter the Dem’s and the media launched a withering assault tarring all Republicans as racists. Result: There are currently NO high-level statewide elected Republicans and this has been true ever since the above referenced election!

Yeah but the Dems couldn’t win that one at the ballot box; they had to run to the courts.

Bush could have both secured the borders and gotten a guest worker plan, maybe more, between the 2004 and 2006 election if he deigned to work with fellow Republicans, but he wouldn't do that.

The media could have crowed racism all day long, but Bush could have sailed into the 2006 elections with a Republican base happy with secure borders and Hispanics happy with a guest worker plan, perhaps more. I believe this would have kept Republicans in control of both the House and Senate.

But, Bush's "comprehensive" all or nothing plan, got him exactly nothing and he blew a huge opportunity with Hispanics for decades to come. Worst of all, anything he sign now, the media will be able to twist into credit for the Democrats.

I'm beginning to agree with the Democrats, Bush is too stupid to lead this country.
