Well, I don't really believe he is a plant; some of his statements would pass as bona fides for being a conservative, which I respect.
However, he seems to be hung up on two issues here: stemming voter fraud and stemming illegal immigration. He wants it done in the extreme short-term. He seems to think that Bush can solve both of these problems at the flick of a switch, at the drop of a hat, with the utterances of a dictator. That ain't gonna happen.
The problem is, both issues are law enforcement issues which Bush cannot simply solve with an executive order. It would be political suicide, and who wants to commit suicide on the verge of re-election?
Henchman is the kind of guy who thinks that the Greyhound bus should come to pick him up in his bedroom, so that he won't be forced to walk to the terminal. Life is much more complicated than that.
I coach youth hockey. The most critical parents, the ones who explain to you how you should coach a game, never had a pair of skates on in their life.

Yeah, the last thing we need is to fight each other on various minutae. I know we need better immigration control and such. I know the President could do better there. I'm for fair trade not free trade myself too but I feel we all need to unite because the war on terror is the most important issue we all face, if we lose, we all lose and can lose it all. This election is at an important crossroads. God help us if FrankenKerry get's in, we will be so screwed that nothing will matter anymore. Our Republic's survival is at stake. The only thing that can help us then is God Himself.
