I can’t say he isn’t very bright I think that he has a goal that is out of the line with mainstream conservative thinking. He’s bought the idea that someone the country can’t survive without the illegals and I think that partially comes from his advisers and his background. He is a politician and though I’ve agreed with many things he has done this one is just one I can not support him on.

I personally think that he is one of a group that thinks North America will benefit from a blurring of the borders. That just doesn’t change the fact that this is a horrible bill. Any bill that is 400 pages is bad by definition and that this is an immigration bill makes it even more so. The very size of it guarantees that it will only be enforced selectively and it isn’t difficult to figure out the parts that will not be enforced.

He’s bought the idea that someone the country can’t survive without the illegals and I think that partially comes from his advisers and his background.

A speechwriter who once worked for the Bush administration came out today on a local radio talkshow and revealed that Bush has not once sought advice concerning his immigration bills from anyone other than the pro-open borders crowd. So that verifies your suspicion

This has caused me to think that he may have done the same thing running up to the invasion of Iraq. IOW, he may not have solicited any opinions contrary to that which favored the invasion of that country.

He has thrown the conservatives in the party a couple of bones, but considering the direction Tubby Teddy and Co. would like to take the country, to actively seek his help in crafting the "No Child" Bill and this latest horrible piece of legislative trash causes me to seriously doubt the conservative creds of Jorge. Even La Raza has veto power over parts of this lousy bill, for crying out loud! He is beginning to look more and more like just another Big Gov Lib who just wants to socialize the country a bit more slowly than the Cape Cod Whale and the rest of his gang. How else would you explain a law that will give the socialists of this nation a permanent majority in Congress and would relegate the Republican Party to minority status and irrelevance forever. Most of the base of the GOP have pretty much given up on Senor Jorge. (Oh, some of them will very selectively support him on the WOT, even though I personally think he mis-handled that right from the gate as well.) He and Rove have Sunday punched us for the last time.
