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.

He’s either way TOO insulated from REAL America - or he has another agenda...

"He was surprised by the reaction,"

If so, I can guess why. Click here for what I suspect is the reason.

The President disgusts me on this issue.

I hope everyone tears him a new one on this issue.

Judges were done OK.
The war is being done OK IMO.
The economy is being done OK.

His immigration deal and prescription meds deal are both disasters that will bring down his memory and perhaps our country as we once knew it.

Sorry but how the heck could he be surprised? It’s not like Conservatives haven’t been straight up about this issue or that we don't know what amnesty is when we see it....for crying out loud do we need to draw a picture?! Talk about Washington being out of touch!

There is only one form of “amnesty” I would go along with.

If the illegal goes home and gets in line behind everyone already waiting to come in the legal way, then I’ll forgive them for having come in illegally the first time.

I’d even be willing to give them a six month time limit to leave. After that time, if we find them here, they should be deported and BARRED FOREVER from any possibility of living here.

I know ... I know ... too generous. But I’m a “compassionate conservative.”

If he was truly unaware at our rage on this issue, then either his advisers suck, or he’s really blind to his own supporters.

Bush 'suprised' by conservative anger.

I'm starting to wonder about Bush. He can't seriously be surprised that conservatives believe in the rule of law and secure borders.
