Hi MNJ. The thread topic is the president, not the Congress, but you may have just helped point out why their approval rating is even lower than the president’s abysmal rating.
But back on topic, the issue was dead until our national cheerleader resurrected it.
Thanks Swinney. I don’t think he’ll retire in Mexico. Seems I remember Bush bought about 180,000 acres in Peru recently. does anyone know? Or can confirm? If true think he’ll go there when the $hit hits the fan. Just MHO, but I think it’s a given.
However, the Democrats don’t have the votes to get this travesty out of cloture. Only if some ‘Pubbies help can they get it to the floor for a vote - where the Democrats DO have enough votes to pass it.
To make it worse, a bunch of ‘Pubbie leadership types (Lott, McInsane, etc.) are supporting this abortion, fighting their constituents tooth and nail, and the ‘Pubbie President CAN’T WAIT to sign it...
So guess who gets the credit/blame, if it is passed?
In the meantime we’re gonna pound our ‘Pubbie Senators until they understand its a potential “career-altering decision” if they support this bill.
instead of spending ALL your time fragging your own side?
Tell me seriously,if a relative took a rifle and shot you dead,are you any LESS dead because you were related to the person? If certain Republican politicians are trying to pass legislation that a citizen believes will be harmful to our country are we not entitled or maybe even obligated to speak out against it and by extension the politician who’s pushing it? If I understand correctly Free Republic is a discussion,debate and occasionally argument forum and that’s why I come here.Not just to hold hands with everybody and sing Kum by yaa !!!
There is nothing knee-jerk about my opposition to the President’s abandonment of conservative principles. No one but my children has my automatic, unconditional love and support. My approbation must be earned, and this President has done very little in his second term to earn it. What he’s trying to do now is dangerous and nonsensical, and it is my duty as a citizen to call him on it.
It’s immature to say, “he’s my guy and therefore can do no wrong.” That’s childish hero worship, and conservatives, who are supposed to THINK instead of FEEL, should not engage in it.
Counting primaries, I’ve voted for Bush 8 times.
I’ll support those who vote against the Amnesty bill.
For the last 6 years I’ve defended President Bush on the War and all kinds of things & how does he thank me & the Republican Conservative Base? By labeling us a bunch of bigots. I will not take up for him another time, period. If he want’s to win back our support he needs to quit trying to give our F***ing country away to a bunch of law breakers. My wife works with a girl from the Phillipines (a skilled worker as is her husband) and she has paid through the nose over the last 5 years and her husband can’t get a damn green card while these yahoo’s are going to be granted work permits overnight. Thats B.S. George Bush needs to have a Coke & a Smile & shut the F*** up!
Should knee jerk Bush apologists open their eyes and ears and see what damage he has done and is doing to our nation?
Yes they should.
“85% of the votes AGAINST the Immigration bill came from Republicans.
80% of the votes FOR the Immigration bill came from Democrats”
It was voted on?!?! How did that not get reported on in the news?
Well excuuuuuuse me, but my knee-jerk reaction to being stabbed in the back and sold out is to hate the back-stabber who sold me out.
Guys like you who are "sticking with the president" remind me of the battered wives who stay with their abusive husbands.
Heck, yeah Bush should retire to Mexico. He cannot be re-elected president here, but what's stopping him from becoming El Presidente?
Mexico Retirement Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
80% of the votes FOR the Immigration bill came from Democrats
Suppose you all could remember who the real enemy is ONE time instead of spending ALL your time fragging your own side?
And the number one proponent of this illegal immigration invasion amnesty is President Bush. I suppose it would not be too difficult for a rational, analytical person to figure out who was the real enemy is , and who is not what he pretends to be.
Get over the amnesty bill ? Get over the loss of sovereignty with LOST, SPP and the NAU ?
You need to decide whether the man is more important than the Constitution.
Do you know if we still have temporary placed troops in Paraguay? They were scheduled to leave in Dec. ‘06. The area of Paso de Pastriea,(spel) I believe, but don’t hold me to it.
The talk is that the Bush family bought land in Paraguay. I don’t think it’s ever been confirmed, but the land is said to be near the Moonie Compound.
