Bushbot. All bots follow the herd of ignorance. Have a banana chimp.

Vote for Howard Dean, chump.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Bob, could you also be bold enough to also oppose illegal immigration and wrongful acts by our President?

Wrongful acts like what? LIBERATING 50, MILLION OPPRESSED ARABS?

[FITZ]

Lets see what Bush's whole program is on illegals and SSN before we whine about news bites !

They just got $1 billion of Medicare money for their free health care, Fox wants to be given a good chunk of what's left of our Social Security money --- it looks like he's getting seriously close to getting his way on this. They get free education, access to the jobs of Americans, they get jobs sent to Mexico in case they feel like staying there --- not one thing in exchange for all these generous handouts. Does Bush even ask Fox to have the Mexican government reimburse the US taxpayers for all the free education and health care they've taken? Do Americans gain a single new right in Mexico? We've heard of nothing so far being demanded for Americans in return for all this generousity.

[Sabertooth]

Don't forget that the increase in jobs is all illegal aliens, not Americans.

This is for the "I won't vote foe Bush Ever Again Crowd of Idiots".

Got a point?

[GeronL]

By the way, saw a piece yesterday where the Wall Street Journal is saying that the upswing in the economy brought about by the tax cuts and low interest rates is making companies profitable and putting people back to work. Something like 1.5 million new jobs will be created by November. Even manufacturing is booming. Who woulda thunk it?

and by next year we can add all of Mexico and Central America to the Social Security payroll????

Wrongful acts like trying very hard to give terrorist arafat his own terror state as a reward for blowing 1000+ Jews to bits over the last three years (Intifada).

[BOBTHENAILER]

Why vote for Bush if he's going to do things like this?

Vote for Dean ........CHUMP

[Jim Robinson]

Why not. Gotta get workers from somewhere. All of us boomers will be retiring. LOL

[FITZ]

To me really it's okay to destroy the Social Security program ---- but if Bush is giving the citizens of Mexico a "right" to opt onto it ----demand their "fair share" and all that --- then I hope he first gives us an opportunity to opt out, reimburses us a portion of what we've paid into it now if we choose not to be part of it.

[Jim Robinson]

Geez, going from boomer to geezer in just a couple more years. Where did the years go?

[jwh_Denver]

Thanks for the link. I signed the petition.

Foreign policy wise I think Bush has done a great job but domestically I wonder what the hell is he thinking. Chummy chummy with Fox? WTF?

I see this as a National Security which the Constitution provides taxing for our defense. I guess the Bush doesn't see it that way. No National Security from ALIENS.

[GeronL]

Why not. Gotta get workers from somewhere. All of us boomers will be retiring. LOL

It wouldn't be so bad if we just annexed them would it?

[BOBTHENAILER]

Got a point? Vote for Dean, don't vote, vote for a strict constitutionalist or whatever, you're throwin' it away.

They be people dyin' to give you that right.

Feel good about that?

[Jim Robinson]

LOL. Wouldn't doubt there are people thinking that very thought.

[boycott]

I believe that Bush has adopted a "whatever it cost to get a vote" position.

"W" will not be out-spent by the democrats!!!! I know he has tried to push a lot of former President Reagan's issues but this isn't one of them.

[WOSG]

Nah, just another paleo-con "Bush has violated yet another hard-core conservative position so Im walking out on him" agin'er troll.

Funny, every time Bush does a pander" he loses a paleocon to the 3rd party.

Me? Lets write a few letters to our Congresscritters and tell them to ENFORCE THE IMMIGRATION LAWS instead of trying to 'fix' it by making our welfare system even more expansive!

[GeronL]

Geez, going from boomer to geezer in just a couple more years. Where did the years go?

I could launch a research study if I get a huhge federal grant.... after all.. doesn't my middle name (Geron) basically mean 'aging?'

[Sabertooth]

Vote for Dean, don't vote, vote for a strict constitutionalist or whatever, you're throwin' it away.

Is this the bush around which you're beating?

[WOSG]

Guys, chill out for a bit and think ... this is a bad idea, a *proposal* ... what we need to do is head it off by making more noise on the immigration issue. Where to stop it? In Congress.

President proposes, Congress disposes.

This President has been in office for three years and our borders are tighter now than they have been in many many years. There has been NO proposals put forth by this administration calling for any type of amnesty so far. Yet we have knee jerk reactionaries flying off the handle at the first NYT's, Wash. Post, or LATimes article claiming Bush will grant amnesty. In my book, that makes people like you a fool for the left.

The smart thing to do is what the poster of the article suggests, and that's to send your letters and Faxes to the White House with your suggestions, instead of being a useful idiot for the left, and condemning the President for something that has yet to happen. In politics, sometimes it's wise to mislead the press with a few purposely leaked supposed details that will end up making the Liberal Rags like the NYT's look the fools they are, when they have to retract their previous assumptions. What I just said is just as possible as what the the NYT's would like you to believe, so you have a choice, you can be a tool for the left and scream from the roof tops that Bush will grant amnesty, or you can wait for his actual proposal like the rest of us who refuse to be played like a Fiddle
