Bush team strikes back against Tancredo

(Next the Buchananites will say, "see, we told you that international trade was a bad thing.")

After watching Bush go by the way of Hillary Clinton for the past year, I just don't grasp how you can throw Buchanan criticism into the mix...Trying to blow a smoke screen for George???

"The president is not on our side," Tancredo told the paper, complaining that Bush supports an "open door" border policy that could lead to another terrorist attack. "Then the blood of the people killed will be on this administration and this Congress."

"The blood of the people killed will be on this administration?" These are the words of a grandstanding jerk, not anyone seriously interested in "establishing a dialogue." By his standards, the blood of everyone at the WTC and Pentagon are already on the hands of everyone in Congress right now, so why isn't HE resigning or turning himself in at the nearest police department?

open borders = idiot

I've never seen a congressman named open borders. What state is he from?

So if Bush hadn't proposed that alien workers be legalized, they would all be in their former country by now? Just exactly what changed under that proposal anyway? It seems you people are having tantrums over something which had a net effect of 0.

I think Tancredo is right on.. although he could probably use a little more tact... maybe if we ALL supported him on this issue he would not have to be so abrasive, and we can let the President know how WE feel...

Actually, I find this incident very revealing.

Some men are "pillars of the community", always friendly and warm and gracious and kind (you know-kind of compassionate)--even to competitors. Then they go home and beat up on their family. Go figure...

I just don't grasp how you can throw Buchanan criticism into the mix...

Simple. Declaring that terrorism is the result of immigration policy is absurd on its face, like the saying that murder is caused by gun policy. But since terrorism is foremost on everyone's mind, the brigades and their ilk are attempting to use it as a cover to sneak their "America First" retreads out of the dustbin and back onto the table. That's all this immigration talk is. And some people think that by taping a "conservative" sign onto it, they can browbeat conservatives who ought to know better into agreeing with it.

The jibe about anti-capitalist policies was sarcasm on my part, but it will probably be lost on some just the same.

He is a whistle blower opposing the policies.
There are many arguements against Tancredo, but that one doesn't fly.

Why Democrats should draft George W. Bush in 2004

The surest way to bust this economy is to increase the role and the size of the federal government."
George W. Bush - Source: Presidential debate, Boston MA Oct 3, 2000.

Gore offers an old and tired approach. He offers a new federal spending program to nearly every voting bloc. He expands entitlements, without reforms to sustain them. 285 new or expanded programs, and $2 trillion more in new spending. Spending without discipline, spending without priorities, and spending without an end. Al Gore’s massive spending would mean slower growth and higher taxes. And it could mean an end to this nation’s prosperity."

"People need more money in their pocket, as far as I’m concerned."
George W. Bush - The Tampa (FL) Tribune Oct 26, 2000.

"I think the economy has grown really in spite of government. This is an incredible period of time when productivity has been enhanced, not because of any great initiative of government, but because of the ability for entrepreneurs to stake a new claim."
George W. Bush - Source: Ronald Brownstein, LA Times Aug 13, 2000

I was deeply concerned about the drift toward a more powerful federal government. I was particularly outraged by two pieces of legislation, the Natural Gas Policy Act and the Fuel Use Act. It seemed to me that elite central planners were determining the course of our nation. Allowing the government to dictate the price of natural gas was a move toward European-style socialism. If the federal government was going to take over the natural gas business, what would it set its sights on next?"

[Jim Scott]

goes to show you Bush is a liberal and is openly anti conservative.

Yeah, even worse than Clinton! Right Bob? C'mon you know you want to say it.

Please. This Tancredo guy is just grandstanding and pushing conservative buttons by yapping about immigration and open borders with the President. He uses wildly inflamatory words and gets the desired response and the Bush-haters pile on with inane remarks like yours. Bush is a liberal. Openly anti-conservative.
Your hysterics and hyperbole sink your own assertions.

Re Tancredo's remarks to Bush: Someone has to tell President Bush just what the story is. Bush seems determined to thwart what the people want. They keep on bringing back 245(i), on and off, but no problemo, it will get passed, quietly, just watch.

Re: Your post #29. Ditto, and triple ditto's.

Bush obviously does not like criticism. Are we not allowed to disagree with his policies? Oh, I forgot, "Who cares what you think" - Bush, to a man who said he was not too pleased with some of Bush's decisions.

Mr. Bush does not care to know what we think. How about that.

[ClancyJ]

Especially if/when we get hit with a terrorist attack in the USA. Just my 2 cents worth.

We don't have to get hit with a terrorist attack.

"Bush White House Angered by Secret Clinton-Abdullah Meeting

The Bush White House was surprised and angered when it discovered two weeks ago that ex-president Bill Clinton held a secret meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah only hours after members of the royal family met with President Bush and his father in Houston.

"To the dismay of White House planners, [Abdullah] saw an unscheduled and unexpected visitor: Bill Clinton," reported USA Today on Monday - ...... (See: Clinton in 3-Hour Mystery Meeting with Saudi Prince Abdullah)

The paper notes that the surprise meeting had taken place at "a sensitive moment for the Middle East," during a visit where the Bush administration had taken great pains to "plot every detail of [Abdullah's] weekend trip to Texas."

"The former president, in Houston for a fundraiser and staying at the same posh hotel as the Saudi leader, headed upstairs after midnight for a private chat that had been arranged only a few hours earlier. Their 90-minute eeting didn't end until 2 a.m.," USA Today said."

Since I do not trust Bill Clinton in the least - I tend to believe there was a purpose for this meeting. As in all efforts in Clinton's life - it has to do with him.

I feel he could have arranged a deal - the Saudis throw support and influence of Saudi campaign fund recipients behind getting Hillary in office. The Clintons then to payoff the Saudis with power in our government. Call me a tinfoil hatter but I just would believe anything with this creep.

I also today noticed the headline that the "powers" were promoting Hillary for vice-president.

I just request that each of us remember the Clintons as some seek to get the GOP out of power and find the perfect constitutionist that might miraclously win the presidency.

[Jennikins]

What's wrong with putting "America First"? Please tell me, I really would like to know. Is that something to be construed as contemptible? I don't think so.
