BUSH CHIDES FELLOW REPUBS FOR OPPOSING HIS FLAKEY AMNESTY DEAL
When your plumbing springs a leak, the first thing anyone with an IQ higher than a clam does is turn off the water—that’s why it’s so hard for our good citizens to understand why President Bush doesn’t secure our borders and ports first instead of submitting promises and a repeat of the failed 1986 amnesty.
The amnesty deal Bush negotiated with Democrats and ‘open border’ Republicans will turn the U.S. into another Venezuela. Consider that the number of illegal aliens within our shores is not precisely known; most estimates range anywhere from 12 to 20 million. Unfortunately these are only ‘guesstimates’ no one actually knows how many there are. Some claim it could be 30 million or higher. If each amnestied illegal only brings in four relatives, our population will increase anywhere from 48 to 120 million and perhaps more.
Bush’s open ended amnesty welcomes anyone who can provide a piece of paper that they arrived in the U.S. before 1 January. People from all over the world will be knocking on our door and if no one answers they will sneak in. There is no limit on the number of illegal aliens who will be amnestied nor are there severe penalties for fraud.
Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me! Only a fool repeats his mistakes but President Bush and Senators Kennedy and McCain are leading the charge to repeat the mistakes of the 1986 amnesty. The 1986 bill directly led to the estimated 12-30 million illegal aliens that are within our borders today.
Lies, more lies and damned lies. Despite assurances from Senator Kennedy that the 1986 amnesty would stop illegal immigration; the 1986 bill encouraged millions to enter the country illegally in the hope of future amnesties. In 1986, voters were assured that amnesty was a one time occurrence that would never be repeated. Is it any wonder that Americans can’t trust their politicians?
There are more than 2 parties and in California we can vote for who we darn well please.
Parts of the base likely fled in 2005, and I was VERY annoyed with Bush about Myers, but everything turned out literally despite him. But now the President is certainly driving me away - and this is more regretable than I can express. I cannot possibly vote Dummy; but I’m not giving money to the Party and I’m really not interested in any candidate that does not bring some critical reason to this entire immigration debate.
For the most part Bush has been consistent with what he said he believes in. The voters just weren't paying attention.
To someone actually listening to what the candidates say, a vote for Bush has always been a pro-amnesty vote. He never changed his position.
Exactly the idea I was going to convey.
I was not a Bush supporter in 2000 because of this and other positions, including the AW Ban. We need to do what we did in that case, make sure he never has a chance to sign a bill he's said he would, by making sure it never gets to his desk.
“Bush is going to lose whatever political juice he has left pushing the worst proposal since HillaryCare.”
Oh, it’s far worse than HillaryCare. If for no other reason than HillaryCare never actually had a chance of succeeding.
“I’d love to know where Cheney stands on this issue.”
Me too. Because if this passes a Bush impeachment is almost inevitable. We knew what a President Cheney would do to the War on Terror - no more pussyfooting around. But immigration?
I have to believe that Cheney is against this... He’s so strong on national security. He must be grinding his teeth.
Man, he must be shooting for the lowest approval ratings ever.
Amen to your Post!
completely agree!!! could not have said it better!!!
AMEN!!!
So what party are you (btw, I’ve been independent myself since the late 70s.)
If you’ve honestly been Independent since the late 1970s, then my friend you’ve been infinitely clueless. I switched permanently to the Rep Party literally amidst the Thomas hearings. I could no longer stomach the insipidness and left-jerkism of the Dummies. If you’ve remained Independent all this while, then obviously you’ve been considerably more tolerant of such strategies and tactics, and I honestly don’t see how this was possible - honestly don’t.
It means you people on this thread. But you knew that.
Not quite sure why you’d say that - the simple fact is that, here in Chicago, if you’re registered GOP, you won’t vote in too many local primaries.
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them.
You’re making my point. You’re not really Independent. You’re captured.
Ahhhh.....so you would prefer to have John Kerry and a Democrat congress addressing the illegal immigration issue instead? Meanwhile Mr. Vietnam would be addressing all of our other domestic and foriegn affairs issues with his considerable liberal policies....yeah....there’s a great idea.
Taxes would have already been increased, the economy would be in a steep nosedive, we likely would have already been subject to some manner of succesful terrorist attack, We would have already pulled out of Iraq and likely Afghanistan too, we would have seen massive slahes in the DOD budget and downright monsterous increases in entitlement spending, and the worst of it would be Rosie O’Donell as F’n Kerry’s Press Secretary!
Citizenship is earned or by birth not for some politicos to pass out cause they are quilted into it for the sake of humanity, or a cheap laborer.
You’re missing the point. No one here is saying they would vote for Kerry or any other Dem. What we are all saying (well, most of us) is that the President has no business calling us names when we oppose his immigration policy. Worse, we are saying that his name calling is entirely gratuitious. It is not necessary, and it is not helping his cause. It is hurting the Party, and it is needly annoying whatever base is left. It is Harriet Myers redux.
Tell me something more than this is better than any Dummy.
I don't care who the president might be. If they allow the US to be overrun by illiterate and unproductive third world morons this country is LOST.
The simple fact is that Bush IS the president and HE is the one promoting this insanity. You can conjure up all the "coulda woulda shoulda" scenerios you like but the unhappy fact is that this is a Republican president trashing his own country. I'm not giving him a a pass on that because you can dream up things that are not based in fact.
“To bad he and the RINO’s didn’t fight for SS reform like they have about this.”
If he fought for half of the conservative ideas floating around DC half as hard as he had for this, we’d be paying 1/3rd of the taxes we pay today, there would be no IRS and the Liberals would be a minor footnote in history.
