President Bush yesterday used his weekly radio address to urge listeners to support the immigration deal reached by a handful of senators last week, even as new poll numbers showed the immigration issue is hurting Mr. Bush's job-approval ratings....
But the deal is too harsh for some lawmakers, and not strict enough for others. Its fate could depend on whether senators, and the voters who elected them, view the deal as an amnesty for the estimated 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens in the country....
Meanwhile, a new Rasmussen Reports poll found Mr. Bush's approval rating dropped to an all-time low for that poll, at 34 percent.
"The president's ratings have tumbled each time immigration reform dominates the news," Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, said in his analysis.
Mr. Rasmussen said that his polling last year, after Mr. Bush gave an Oval Office address laying out his plans for more border enforcement and giving illegal aliens a path to citizenship, found only 39 percent supported the president's position.
I think we will see some other amnesty politicians fall in the polls.

>>Ok, you heard it here first. Let me be the first to predict this, Bush is going to resign and Cheney is gearing up to take the helm.
Notice how Cheney is more visible in the news lately?
By the way, anyone know where he stands on this amnesty crap?<<
I though Cheney was a globalist like Bush. And if Bush did resign, they had better put in a replacement for Cheney posthaste. You know. Heart problems. President Pelosi.
Your becoming a lone Freeper.
But we’ll keep electing these idiots because we don’t want the “other side” to win.
I used to think that Bush had some Grand Master Strategy in which this total sell-out/invasion would make sense. I imagined he was thinking along the lines of: “China has oodles of cheap labor and industry, is locking up resource agreements around the world and is dead set on surpassing the West. The US doesn’t have a third world labor force...but Mexico does - so we form a great single nation out of NAFTA, composed of Canada for resources, Mexico for dirt-cheap labor, and the US for the industries and services to forge them all into a new and resurgent economic power.”
Granted, it was a pretty lame strategy that ignored the colossal problems of this massive and uncontrolled invasion of illegals, but at least it seemed possible that there was some grand geopolitical positioning that he was attempting - with the best interests of the greater citizenry at heart.
However, the recent WH justifications for this amnesty program has destroyed the last faint hopes that he has a clue or care as to what he’s doing to the citizens and basic fabric of this nation. He is absolutely firm in his commitment to do this - to a fault - and to faultlines developing in the nation at large. And why? Because of the sappiest of sentimental liberal-think that would embarass a sophomore majoring in “We-are-the-World” studies. Such as this little nugget, “The proposal reforms our immigration system to create a new balance between family connections and our national interests and economic needs.” Isn’t that sweet?
I can’t imagine what our country will look like in 5 years.
The houses will not be located near the beach because under Mexican Law, Gringos are not allowed to own real property within 50 kilometers of either coast. And before the Gringos orchestrate a mass demonstration for equal rights, they should note that Mexican law prohibits Gringos and other foreigners, legal and illegal alike, from protesting against the government.
Never, never, never, never, never, never give up.
This is the third or forth post of yours which has recently caught my attention. Your posts remind me of the quality of posting which regularly occured on Free Republic years ago.
Just a note of appreciation.
It should. I doubt he’d even get half on this message board at this point. I don’t approve of his performance. The border is the biggest issue facing the country and he is deadwrong. He retreats from Dems too often. He has done little/nothing to cut down on spending. To the contrary he has pushed some large entitlements and domestic spending projects. He has a tendency to appoint incompetent boobs such as our pathetic attorney general, Kerik and Chertoff. He is not the President we hoped he’d be.
“Bush is the biggest disappointment I can remember since Bush.”
Well said!
I have noticed.
Viva Bush!
Admiro todavía Presidente de bush de Eeuu.
Disgustipating isn’t it. Instead of a real solution, we just keep rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
I love the President also but if he signs this bill I am taking my Bush 04 sticker off my car.
My, my, Miss American Pie,
Drove my Chevy off the levy cause the payment’s too high.
My poor old family’s living off Cheeze-Whiz and rye saying,
“Why’d you ever vote for those guys?”
“Why’d you ever vote for those guys?”
I can. You better be armed and stay aware of your surroundings at all times. Those Mexican drug wars will be right here.
Pure genius, is what it is. They have us at each others throats over a few social issues, while they team up to shaft us on the things that are really important.
Katrina was mis-managed at the state and local levels WAY before the Bush admin bungled it...
I blame him for mis-managing the MSN attacks on this.
Agreed, the AG and the Admin has every right to hire/fire it’s attorneys... again, mis-managing the MSN attacks about the firings. All that ever needed to be said was “It is OUR right to fire anyone... see Clinton Admin for reference, Thanks and good day”
Wolfy is an idiot... Mr. Bush is more so for not knowing that.
oops
