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.

very good post! I too cannot comprehend how someone around President Bush tell him that this will destroy his Presidency. I cannot logically understand his seeming obsession with allowing a tidal wave of illegals destroy our beloved Republic. I pray to God that somehow enough Senators do the right thing. If Bill is passed and President Bush sign's it into law, then he will be signing the Death Certificate of the United States. I too weep for our beloved nation.
I am beyond pissed off. But in order to maintain an even strain and to avoid evolving into a bonafide curmudgeon; I will still laugh at a good joke (e.g. Porterville’s comment).
Yeah, it was pretty funny, I have to agree. I actually like curmudgeons....and especially people who can spell “curmudgeon” LOL
Not sure sure this is a slam dunk anymore... we are being heard.... keep on speaking up!
Put him into the teens? I'm so fed up with this guy I just wish it would push him out of the Whitehouse.
His old man's incompetence gave us Bill Clinton and now this pathetic guy is going to give us the Hildebeast.
I'm damned tired of the Bushes.
“His old man’s incompetence gave us Bill Clinton and now this pathetic guy is going to give us the Hildebeast.”
Me? I don’t want to live in a Mexican hell-hole!!!!
Talk about sticking it to the only supporters left for the Iraq war. Is this his way to get out of the war?
You do know Bush was a trained and experienced cheerleader in college?
I'm just happy he didn't get Dr. Rice and Dick Cheney up there to do a pyramid with a dropping roll and tumble :^(
That's probably what Bush Sr. and Slick William talk about on their golf outings. They're great buddies.
You sound like Jimmy Carter.
Democrats call President Bush "Mr. Bush."
Democrats suck.
President Bush hasn't made a mess of tax cuts. He hasn't made a mess of The War On Terror. He hasn't made a mess of appointing constructionist judges. He's continued to support Israel and stand his ground in Iraq in the face of an anti-conservative mainstream media flogging. He's on the right side of almost every issue.
As to your tag line, Democrats want to weaken America in every conceivable way; Republicans want to strengthen their country. Republican politicians largely will listen when you express your dissatisfaction regarding illegals. Democrat politicians largely will not.
Pay attention.
I wish I still did, it's rather sad.
President Cheney in 2007
I dunno, maybe backing a Palestinian state?
Or playing pattycake with Iran?
Or telling us that Islam is a religion of peace?
Prescription drug program...
Your list is a good start.
How about not vetoing excessive spending bills passed by congress.
Letting Kennedy write his education bill.
NOt standing up to his critics .
Running a political war in Iraq instead of letting our troops just kick ass?
I can go on for a while here.
Notice how Cheney is more visible in the news lately?
By the way, anyone know where he stands on this amnesty crap?
I still admire President Bush.
I hope you can say that in Spanish.
