Thank you for the informative post. It's always nice to have the facts.

President Bush knows CFR is blatantly against what he pledged during his inaugural ceremony no matter what he said during the campaign or after the election. I am sick of the, "oh, it's just politics or political expediency to pick up more voters in 02 or 04". What Bush and his advisors may find sobering is the lack of a political base in 2004 for his re-election campaign. As I said before, elephants (or former ones) will never forget what he did to get there. Bush has forgotten that Conservatives are principled even if he is not.

Shhhhh, we are busy feeling indignant over here.

The firebreathers have already made up their minds.

Lots of ranting and gnashing of teeth, but little else.

I wouldn't have signed this bill, but the issue is now off the table, and the SC will deal with the unconstitutional features of the bill, while the GOP rakes in the hard money.

Then don't vote for the man but has broken no oath or pledge.

Why are you so sure that Scalia, Thomas and Rehnquist want to fiddle with this? I wouldn't blame them if they told Bush to go to hell.

Uh, it is their job.

"It would be nice if Bush had the line-item veto so he could excise the bad parts but he does not and will rely on the courts to do it for him."

I hope The Supreme Court knocks CFR out of the Ballpark. It is bad law and stifles free speech.

PS I'm not placing blame on Bush for CFR.

The SCOTUS is under no obligation to vote our way on this case. They are also under no obligation to even take this case.

We'll see. They won't be quite as crude as you are, however.

Two things: First one is on the Immigration issue...Dick Armey was on FNC the other night and he explained the President's immigration bill as being designed to grant temporary amnesty to the workers who have originally come into this country Legally, but through inefficiency of the INS, have not had their papers processed after many years...this bill puts pressure on the INS to get the papers processed of these people who tried to use the system legally. This bill is not for the people who came here Illegally in the first place. I don't know about you, but that makes a huge difference to me in the way I think about this bill. Next, I have to agree with Rush when he says that he believes that the President is making some minor political decisions that may or may not adhere strictly to the party line at this time. He knows that the Supreme Court will not let this Campaign Finance bill stand, so why should he use up any political capital for our side at this time before an election that we hope to be triumphant in. After we get back in a position to push our agenda, he will. He just doesn't have the ability to overcome the Senate at this time, so why waste a lot of time making a lot of noise for nothing, save it for when it is effective. That's just good strategy and common sense.

Most of the queers in this nation come from the queer state of Texas. I'll bet you're a queer too.

I recognize you. You're the next person to be banned from Free Republic.

[dts32041]

Yeah right just like the 16th amendment, or Scott dredd, or confiscation of property without due process.

The black robe wonders are liable to find the whole law constitutional.

Many thanks, for posting this well thought out, factual , calm piece. I am sick and tired of those who are claiming that President Bush did so and so, isn't Conservative, is betraying us, ect., ect, ect., based solely on their own misperceptions / imaginings / their oagandas, which the president NEVER was in favor of, going off on rabbling, wild eyed rants.

The " I've been a Conservative all of my life, but Bush just lost my vote " cants, read like just so many " serial callers " and you all know what I mean; or should ! If you peopele are going to be THAT political naive, and have learned NOTHING during your stay on FR, than this site is absolutely useless and should shut down. Our glass is at least 1/2 full ; however , you guys keep seeing it as being empty.

Again, you have my thanks, Texsforever, and my gratitude, for bringing some sense to this mess.
