Bush 'surprised' by conservative anger

The Washington Times ^ | June 06, 2007 | Jon Ward & Ralph Z. Hallow

"He was surprised by the reaction," Mr. Snow said of Mr. Bush's speech in Glynco, Ga., last week. "The speech in Georgia was, 'We've got a serious problem and we need to fix it.' It was not in any way designed to be pointed at Republicans." But conservative opponents of a Senate immigration bill supported by Mr. Bush reacted furiously to the president's suggestion that they are resorting to scare tactics by using the word "amnesty" in referring to the measure that would allow millions of illegal aliens to remain in the United States.

GWB had been a total wimp. He had fought a PC war in Iraq and had not really tried to win it. He let Sandy Burglar go while Scooter Libby is thrown under the bus and two good Border Patrol guys get thrown in the slammer. The list goes on and on... He named a building for RFK, gave Fat Teddy an award.. Duncan Hunter was right HE IS FROM THE KENNEDY WING of the GOP.

What the hell is going on ? Maybe someone has something BIG on Bush and they are taking full advantage of it now ? Something stinks to me ...BIG TIME !

Over 900 FBI files on leading Republicans...shared on a LAN with the DNC from an office in the White House 'splains a lot.

For starters, no prosecution--and each one was a Felony count.

That was just the start of the nut-cutting.

No follow up, no charges, no resignations demanded over WACO.

No conviction in the Senate of Clinton for perjury or obstruction of justice.

Dozens of photos existed, and even AlGore speaking on CNN about illegal irregularities in Democratic fundraising, including Buddist Temples, PLA generals' daughters, and phone lines used to raise funds from an office in the White House--no prosecution, because "no evidence exists..." (Janet got it all destroyed?).

Dead lawyers, dead admirals, dead FLIR experts...

Sandy Burglar walks, Scooter Libbey is in jail.

The list of inconsistencies goes on, and it isn't over by a longshot.

But those little carts full of folders sure exlain a lot.

Someone made a post, I don’t know if it was sarcasm. What about consolidating North America as one country? Perhaps the US and Canada aren't having enough children. Mexico has too many. The US produces jobs. Mexican does not. Goods and people could move freely in the North American union. The southern Mexican border and the northern Canadian border would be easy to defend. It sounds like something an egomaniac (FDR?) would consider. Bush? Who knows? The problem is that people and cultures are not so homogeneous. The chances of destroying the United States are huge. And of course, sneaking and forcing this on Americans (legal Americans of today) is illegitimate.

[processing please hold]

That just goes to show out of touch he is with conservatives.

I didn't notice the reservoir tip..!:^)

Well said. I’ve been wondering if he has lost all of his “Texan” or been infected with Potomac Fever. I truly think this is his upbringing coming out.

Something is going on, and apparently in his opinion, it isn’t any of our concern yet...remember ‘Don’t pay any attention to that man behind the curtain’.

“Yeah. In ‘86 they said 1.3 million and it turned out to be 3 million. So I guess it’s probably about 25 - 30 million this time.”

Yep scary. Will break the bank.

“Mexicans responded to the system our political class deliberately created. And they responded in exactly the manner our political class intended. Who is to blame?”

Evidently you think that Mexicans are DUMBER than they appear to be.

I support your thinking.

These dolts are being used and they aren’y smart enough to see it.

[rolling_stone]

Somehow I don’t believe a word he says. I am also not surpirsed by his feeble attempt to feign ignorance.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“He must be talking about that little aspect thingy called closing the border, which, of course, he has no intention of doing with or without this bill.”

You nailed it!

[sonic109]

And not one person has come forth to expose any of this? Do we have ANYONE on our side anymore ?

[Trteamer]

This is what happens when govt. gets in bed with business to raid the public treasury. Business passing off their expenses to the taxpayer.

That is why they will shove government health care down our throats, because business is tired of paying for it.

[NoAmnesty]

That’s what I am saying! Voting these turds out of office after the fact may give us some personal satisfaction, but won’t rid us of these third world POS. Whatcha’ gonna do? We have to be more creative than the other side. Obviously faxes, calls and e-mails are ignored by our so-called “representatives” who frankly, don’t represent either you or I.

[Mr Inviso]

Simple saying for Bush, Snow, etc, next time they refer to their “base”

“All your base are not belong to you”

[WOSG]

I certainly wont be voting for him again. :-)

[Soul Seeker]

Well, when I person I once supported as being honest and of good character from Florida 2000 forward lies by saying this isn’t amnesty, insults my intelligence, implies I’m a bigot and unAmerican while working to create a new slave class that will usher in the end of conservatism (and the Republican party though the morons up there seem incapable of recognizing that) and basically breaking the back of the middle class...he damn well shouldn’t be surprised at the white hot fury that erupts.

Mr. Snow yesterday said the immigration dispute between the president and conservatives "does not mark a point of disjunction,"

Oh yeah it does Tony!!

I'm not for giving the illegals a lawyer to fight their deportation.

I'm not for having ICE agents/Border Patrol fast track their amnesty when they get caught.

I'm not for giving them in-state tuition when my kiddos have to pay out of state.

I'm not for giving them their legal standing instantly as this bill is passed.

I'm not for giving them legal standing if their background check can't be done in 24 hours (what the hell in Washington gets done, CAN GET DONE, in 24 hours????)

I'm not for giving them SS benefits as this bill will do.

I'm not for the WEASEL WORDS "Subject to Availability of Appropriations" that are sprinkled ALL THROUGH THIS BILL!

The president is in favor of all of these things, there fore, we're at a "point of disjunction"

[sonic109]

I agree , whats the answer . If someone organized a huge march on Washington I’d take a week off work and go there and spend whatever I could to help pay for others to go . Nation wide boycott? Why can’t we do that ? The Illegals were able to organize massive marches 2 years in a row . You mean to tell me WE can’t ? where the hell are the real Americans? If we really organized we could shut down this country .

[listenhillary]

I think we should take all of the illegal immigrants and put them in camps, train them to fight, teach them civic skills, to value freedom and liberty. Then turn them into an army to overthrow the corrupt police, bureaucrats, politicians in Mexico.

Mexico is tremendously rich in natural resources. With a whole lot of freedom and the natural resources they have, they could have a very respectable standard of living in Mexico. Corruption in their government is the only obstacle that stands in their way.

I have been reading in all of the check out counter mags and rags that George is back on the Sauce and Laura, is really fit to be tied. We she might be right, something is wrong, with George the Second. Just like his old man he is too involved in world travel and not paying any attention to the home folks.
Let me know when you want to take up the pitch forks and torches and march on Washington. There a lot of those professional trough feeders that need a fire lit under them.
